You can always try out a VM if you are comfortable with VMs or FreeBSD on a usb stick with NomadBSD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=822qnqPryBU

I use NamadBSD to "try out" hardware to see how compatible it is. There is also SDF.org, one of the largest NetBSD sites on the web. Enjoy the adventure. I hope 2025 a good year for you.

Thank you very much. Their experience will help others. And it can keep worthy machines out of the recycling bin.

When You are ready and have a chance, could you post to dmesgd.nycbug.org and bsd-hardware.info I looked around on dmesgd and didn't see if it.

We're hoping YOU will come speak at our conference at the University of Ottawa!

Tutorials: June 11-12, 2025 Conference: June 13-14, 2025

Instructions for submitting your abstract and lots more info are here: https://bsdcan.org/2025/papers.php

#BSDCan #netBSD #openBSD #freeBSD #BSD

We invite talks by and for users, sysadmins, researchers, developers, enthusiastic hobbyists, students, retirees, social scientists...if you can talk for 50 minutes about a topic directly related to the BSD derivative projects or community or can deliver a technical tutorial for BSD users, we want to hear about it!

The website has a big page of hints for your first proposal and what we're looking for in a talk, and a large archive of past topics is available. (But don't let that limit you...maybe we just haven't heard YOUR talk yet!)

We think everyone should be able to participate in community events and though we have a small budget, we hope to accommodate as much of our community as we can.

  • We have a mask policy (your audience will be wearing N95s)
  • We stream talks online and with live chat
  • Can't attend in person? We can host your talk remotely
  • We reimburse speakers for their travel and hotel fees. (If fronting these fees would be a hardship, apply anyway and we'll talk!)

Apply today!

(Interested in sponsoring? Check out our sponsorship opportunities at https://bsdcan.org/2025/sponsorship.php or contact funding@bsdcan.org!)

Has anyone done a study to see if rail is cheaper to maintain than roads? Good public transport infrastructure would go a long way to preserving road conditions and keeping traffic lighter.

I am sure many here have seen this, but this photo seems very informative on the waste of space that is parking lots.

After missing BSDCan 2024, we are happy to report a Groff spotting @EuroBSDCon hallway track.

@EuroBSDCon fundraising news: We have a commitment of €500 from community member @openbsdams. This gets us closer to our €2000 goal for hardware: a second ATEM streaming deck plus wireless microphone and accessories needed for EuroBSDCon Dublin. If you can help the make our video efforts it will go toward making EuroBSDCon and future *BSD community videos easier to produce and of higher quality. The first round of hardware donations were used in the main room of BSDCan and the FreeBSD Dev Summit to good results. Boosts welcome.

Discussion is needed on this topic. At one point in the first video they actually talk about the price coming down once they can start mass production. My opinion from the sidelines is that the market for this product is still in the pre-Elon Tesla days when their first roadster was NOT cheap and handmade, and when it was more a proof of concept. Create the product to create the market. I wish them luck.

Still in development, but certainly a step in the right direction. Seems a perfect runabout vehicle to get you to public transportation and to get groceries on the way home. Hopefully wider adoption can bring the price down. It would also function as a grid connected battery as mentioned in this "Living on Earth " segment. https://loe.org/shows/shows.html?programID=24-P13-00035

 

Funding request for *BSD Community AV conference streaming. We are collecting to help keep our rental bill for @EuroBSDCon lower and to produce better videos for the *BSD Community.

Details here: https://lists.nycbug.org/pipermail/talk/2024-August/018737.html

@EuroBSDCon is coming up quickly. If you are interested in supporting us this link should help:

If you would like to contribute to our efforts, donations can be made to the FreeBSD Foundation with the memo "Community AV Team".

Thank you!

Upcoming EuroBSDCon OpenBSD talk Confidential Computing with OpenBSD by Hans-Jörg Höxer

Confidential computing is a family of techniques to enhance security
and confidentiality for data in use. One technical approach is strong
isolation for virtual machines.

AMDs Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) offers several feature sets
for isolation of guest virtual machines from an non-trusted host hypervisor
and operating system. These feature sets include memory encryption,
encryption of guest state including CPU registers and an attestation
framework.

In this talk we will explore some of the AMD SEV feature sets. We will
describe how to use them to run OpenBSD as both

  • a confidential guest VM and
  • a host hypervisor providing a confidential execution environment.

Topics covered are CPU feature detection, low level kernel initialization,
memory management, virtio(4) device drivers and the virtual machine
daemon vmd(8).

Tickets are still available and this talk will be streamed and recorded for later release.

 

Upcoming EuroBSDCon OpenBSD talk Building a SD-WAN appliance suitable for an Australian Health Sector NFP/NGO by Jason Tubnor

Latrobe Community Health Service (LCHS) - AS139466 - is a Not for Profit (NFP)/Non-Government Organisation (NGO) headquartered in Victoria, Australia. The organisation consists of 40 offices and 2 data centres across the States of Victoria and New South Wales with over 1,500 employees. All LCHS infrastructure is designed and managed in-house without the use of large-scale cloud infrastructure. Since 2015, BSD Unix has been used for various workloads within the organisation.

This talk focuses on our next generation SD-WAN appliance built on OpenBSD technology using commodity hardware. Topics will include the network topology, design choices, various OpenBSD VPN and routing technologies and orchestrating build, deployment and management across the fleet using Ansible.
