#FreeBSD got some well deserved mainstream coverage yesterday when the YouTube channel ExplainingComputers released a video about FreeBSD on the desktop - or to be more accurate: about FreeBSD desktop derivatives: #GhostBSD #NomadBSD #MidnightBSD #HelloSystem

That was fun and satisfying BSD Sunday.
I fixed a Lenovo T520 and setup #GhostBSD for a friend, so he can start right out of the Box ...and of course get's the BSD Virus §8-)
Everything works nicely like it should. Sound had to be configured, because the volume was too silent.
Found the solution@

So, mixer pcm=1.0 did the trick on my side too.
Besides that, it just runs wonderful smooth with a old 256GB SSD and 8GB of RAM.
This Notebook is so old and it runs superb!
Once more I thought about how ressources are wasted these days.
Made another friend happy to tinker with the FreeBSD world. I'm sure I can "assimilate" him hehe...
Next project: I would like to use #FreeBSD with the "#Herbstluft #WM Oh my, so much to do, so less time §8-)

#Poll: are you "dog-fooding" #BSD?
Unlike previous polls () I have tried really hard to make sure the options make sense. Select the lowest item in the list that is true for you:
Of the ten options, the first four are for those that don't use BSD regularly (let's say at least once per week).
The fifth option ("VPN/server") is for someone who uses BSD on a server they manage, but don't have physical access to.
The sixth ("at work") through eighth ("secondary laptop/desktop") is for those who regularly use some variant of BSD, but not as a primary daily driver.
The ninth and tenth options are for "dog-fooding"
Oh, right, and I'm sorry, but it really must need be said: MacOS, iOS, and other Apple products do not count. Sorry again. I will count any FOSS BSD-like OSes like #OpenIndiana, though.
I will also count retro commercial Unixes, if you're actually daily-driving them. ;)
I'm pleased to announce that my company, Prodottoinrete Group SRL, will be a BRONZE SPONSOR of EuroBSDCon 2025.
The organizers do a great job managing everything, and the least we can do is offer a (small) contribution to help the conference maintain the current standards, which, in my opinion, are extremely high.
So, a big thank you to the organizers, the speakers, and everyone who contributes to making this event so great.

Having trouble getting fstab to work with FreeBSD. It's a GhostBSD install.
mount -a
works and mounts the drives correctly but it's not working at boot.
Maybe the mount points aren't ready.
I've tried it with labels and with the drive designator. I get both of them to work with mount -a but not at boot time.
With the lines commented out in fstab it mounts the drives but I am trying to mount them to directories secondaryfiles and secondarysnapahots.
