@martinschlegel @Extelec Pretty much any version of #NetBSD should run on a #ThinkPad T23 out of the box, and #pkgsrc will include the ~latest #firefox. I tested it on a ThinkPad T41, which is only two years more recent than the T23 - youtu.be/jYS4TcgxMxU

Now, whether you can do anything *useful* in modern Firefox on a 1GB 32 bit machine... not so much

#PaleMoon or #ArcticFox are pretty capable browsers which run well on smaller machines - and #Dillo will *scream* on that spec hardware 😛

Yes you have seen it correctly, I'm now including __links__ the sh & console based browser, in my workflow, since it uses few resources, doesn't understand many of the modern languages, which results in pleasure and fun on the internet. You can even use links on a serial console like my Wyse terminal!

The places which are properly coded, do not need even JavaScript are where I frequently get my information from

It's possible you've not heard of #boxyBSD

I was lucky to get a TIL moment when @stefano boosted it's existence into my feed.

However you should know about it, learn something about the user perspective from proxmox in the process, while working with a boxyBSD VM.

Here are some nice screencaps of the boxyBSD site so you can ask nicely for a VM and learn to play with one of the *BSD flavours from a distance.

I'm sure you can duckduckgo the address of boxyBSD when you analyze the screencaps, right?

It has arrived. proxyLB v1.1.0 the loadbalancer for proxmox clusters. Instead of telling you the features of this major version I invite you to read about it yourself, download proxyLB then play with it.

As with any great Open Source project, this has grown out of a necessity that @gyptazy has for his other amazing project boxyBSD, which just needs a versatile tool like this.

Now go and play.

🤔 Why Choose to Use the BSDs in 2025
—@stefano

｢ Yes, Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes are better than closed source solutions. But when everyone uses the same tools, freedom dies. We use them because "everyone does" rather than because they're the best tool for our specific needs ｣

Might be excessive.

The #atop used in #FreeBSD is a different one to the one used by Linux distributions (& #NetBSD/#OpenBSD have no atop in ports/packages at all).

FreeBSD sysutils/atop in the ports tree uses a FreeBSD codebase maintained by Alex Samorukov. It has no kernel module/atopacctd.

freshports.org/sysutils/atop/

github.com/samm-git/atop-freeb

Arch/Debian instead track Gerlof Langeveld's atoptool, which has a kernel module/BPF hooks & an atopacctd.

packages.debian.org/source/sta

freshports.orgFreshPorts -- sysutils/atop: ASCII Monitor for system resources and process activityAtop is an ASCII full-screen performance monitor that is capable of reporting the activity of all processes (even if processes have finished during the interval), daily logging of system and process activity for long-term analysis, highlighting overloaded system resources by using colors, etc. At regular intervals, it shows system-level activity related to the CPU, memory, swap, disks, and network layers, and for every active process it shows the CPU utilization, the memory growth, priority, username, state, and exit code.
