Running FreeBSD 15 VM-Image on Proxmox? You might have noticed your cloud-init static IPs are being ignored. 😓

The issue: Proxmox generates legacy cloud-init "v1" configs, but FreeBSD's new nuageinit tool only understands the modern "v2" format. The result is a silent fallback to DHCP (or no IP at all..).

I wrote a shell script to bridge the gap. It runs on the host and generates a custom ISO with the v2 syntax FreeBSD actually expects.

Read the full breakdown and grab the script:

I watch Tyler's content regularly, since he is an excellent professional #photographer and #videographer who has the skills to present technical content in an engaging way. Here's his take on using #AI to generate an advert that is right up their with Coke's version. Even if you're not interested in the technical details, you can skip ahead to his fun to watch final version video.

you can dislike the usa and the ussr/ russia at the same time

in fact, you should

disliking one doesn't mean you have to automatically like the other, and that attitude is a very absurd approach to understanding or talking about our world

i'm not disagreeing with you, i'm expanding on your comment, because unfortunately there are a lot of people with this "rah rah your team versus my team" attitude out there

the only real conflict in the world is the powers that be vs the people




The Shelburne Museum was one of the highlights of our Vermont trip. You should plan full day to see artifacts like 19th-century American folk art, quilts, 19th and 20th century decoys and carriages. backpackandsnorkel.com/USA/Ver…

Suing spyware in Europe: news from the front! by Lori Roussey & Celia/Irídia

in reply to Jared Naude

These companies are not just passive partners or resellers, they are actively involved in sale and use of the software. The use of this software is disproportionate and does not have judicial oversight. While the founders of NSO Group have left the company, they are still involved in the wider industry. #39c3

in reply to Jared Naude

Countries including Spain, Hungary, Poland and Greece have been investigated for using spyware. A Pega coalition has been established to litigate the use of spyware by law enforcement and intelligence agencies. #39c3

Let me be explicit. Here at the end of 2025, if you hear anyone say replacing fossil fuels with renewables is going to be expensive, they're either misinformed, uninformed, or lying to you.
Even leaving out the massive economic costs of #climate changes caused by burning fossil fuels, #renewableenergy is cheaper now.
in reply to Peter Gleick

Yes. We are enjoying the big energy cost savings from our solarsystem - now 5.5 years old. It has nearly repaid its full capital cost and from then on our energy will be totally free.. Brilliant

inkscape's nice to use, but GTK realllly holds it back. this control kit is so nonsensical with how it handles input fields
in reply to Portable doggie 🔜 NFC

I used Inkscape for quiet a lot a while back. Made bunch of artwork of my mouse character, Aidan, and logos in it. But I wind up reluctantly stopping because of how the finicky input got in later releases.

At Mar-a-Lago, Trump said both Ukraine and Russia want peace, calling Putin “serious” about ending the war — despite Russia’s continued missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities.

He appeared to have equated Kyiv’s strikes on military targets with Russia’s deliberate bombings of civilian areas.

When asked about Ukrainian security guarantees, Trump gave no details, saying it would depend on the agreement’s wording but insisted it would be “strong.”

Just realized I was seeing you only in my diaspora.social feed (now not using) ... adding you 'here'.
And as for this cartoon... Can't improve on perfection! Spot-on. For so many hoping for #justice and peace someday!

Yup.

There is other software I hate more, but none of it is actually useful.
