Been quite mindful about my social media consumption over the last months. No #instagram. Very limited time on #reddit. No social apps (except #mastodon) on my phone. Today was a good reminder of why I wanna get even strickter on that. Spent about 5 mins doom-scrolling the web-version of #reddit's "popular" tab and most of what I saw was scaremongering and dark, "WW3 is starting tmr" sorta stuff. Turned that #sh*t off pronto.

I have found an interesting quirk with my freeBSD installation, running on my SATA SSD, which I mount through an USB tray, directly to the USB port on the computer.

As long as i leave the second port of the USB tray open, everything runs fine and smooth. The moment I mount another drive in the second port, freeBSD only does the initial part of the startup sequence and then complains that it cannot go any further.

No further explanation given

Seeking for log files is not an option because the operating system itself doesn't boot.

Where in the documentation should I look for this type of issue?

Finally I've captured some sh photographs of the running minimal freeBSD system

No x.org here. Even mc can't run after the pkg install! It needs proc filesystems installed mounted cfg first

I was surprised that I now need to read documents to find out how my second HDMI IPS LED display can be turned on in text mode, something that happens automatically in Linux out of the box 🎁

The photograph shows a IPS LED panel displaying the boot menu of the FreeBSD operating system. The screen is predominantly dark with a red logo in the center, which is the FreeBSD mascot, a stylized cat. On the right side, the text "FreeBSD" is displayed vertically in white. The boot menu is presented in a white box with a black background, listing various boot options such as "boot," "boot kernel," and "boot kernel text." The text is in white, with some options highlighted in green. The screen is framed by a black border, and the background is dark, emphasizing the text and logo. The image was captured with a telephone sensor which clearly shows the horrific low Quality of the Light vs the dark. Phones fail when shooting in darkness
This photograph features a digital IPS LED panel with a vertical arrangement of white text on a dark background. The text appears to be a sequence of alphanumeric characters, resembling a stream of data or code. The characters are densely packed at the top and gradually become sparser towards the bottom, creating a cascading effect. The text is predominantly in a monospaced font, with some lines containing hexadecimal values and others with ASCII characters. The overall effect is reminiscent of a digital waterfall or a data stream, with the text appearing to fall downwards. The background is uniformly dark, which contrasts sharply with the bright white text, enhancing the visual impact of the display. This photograph was also taken with a phone which explains the extremely low quality of it

As you can see here the first part of my freeBSD installation is going smoothly

My 2.5GBit NIC it's not supported but my Wi-Fi NIC is properly supported so everything is good, so far

I've just installed the free BSD handbook which requires the network so extra proof that my Wi-Fi NIC is working magnificently

What is also evident is that you should not ignore warnings that you're HDD set up will not boot. It turns out that the drive I used, which has an MBR, not GPT, is not usable in the configuration where I made a second partition / and a third partition /home, the installation goes smoothly but of course it doesn't boot and not surprising GRUB Linux, cannot find a way to make it boot.

So now I have to make a much smaller partition on a GPT USB SSD

It's wise to listen to the options of the installer. Using my GPT partitioned SATA SSD, mounted on a USB tray 📥 I was able to install freeBSD base config without a hitch, jumping into full blown tcsh mode

Extra images will follow in a minute

The photograph shows a computer screen displaying the FreeBSD installer interface. The background is a solid blue color, and the text is primarily in white and red. On the right side of the screen, the text "FreeBSD Installer" is visible in white. In the center, there is a white rectangular box with red text that reads "Welcome to FreeBSD. Would you like to install or use the live system?" Below this, there are three options listed vertically: "Install," "Shell," and "Live System." The cursor is positioned next to the "Install" option. The overall layout is simple and straightforward, with a focus on the installation options.
The photographic composition shows a computer screen with a blue background. In the center, there is a pink rectangular box with a black border containing text and a progress bar. The text reads "Extracting distribution files..." and lists several file types being extracted, including "base.txz," "kernel-dbg.txz," "kernel.tgz," "ports-txz," and "11p32-txz." The progress bar is partially filled with a green section labeled "Done," indicating the extraction process is ongoing. The screen also displays vertical text on the left side, reading "88830 files read" and "793.1 files/sec." The cursor is visible as a small white arrow in the bottom left corner of the screen.

Due to my brain dead ISP which does not support IPv6 for clients in 2K25(!) I cant access my boxyBSD box.

boxyBSD is thus so far away from me :(

I have a client connection with fixed IPv4 IP somewhere, but it collapses when I use a free available IPv4 to IPv6 tunnel service.

Instead of sitting and twiddling my fingers on my Bass guitar(s) generating random() notes, I decided to get an image of the latest freeBSD and play with it locally, until I can get my ISP to provide all of us with a (set) of free IPv6 addresses because we pay them for a full service here in my country

The mage is a screenshot of the FreeBSD website, featuring a red and black color scheme. At the top, the website's logo, "FreeBSD The Power To Serve," is prominently displayed. The navigation menu includes options such as "Home," "About," "Get FreeBSD," "Documentation," "Community," "Developers," "Support," and "Foundation." A search bar is located in the top right corner, with a "Donate to FreeBSD" button next to it. The main content area is divided into sections. The left sidebar lists various FreeBSD release information, including "Release Information," "Production," "Release: 13.3," "Release: 13.4," "Release: 14.1," and "Release: 14.2." The right side of the page contains sections titled "Choosing an Architecture" and "Choosing an Image." The "Choosing an Architecture" section explains that most users will have hardware for amd64 or arm64 architectures, with support for modern PCs, embedded devices, and single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi 3 and 4, ESPRESSObin, and Allwinner and Rockchip boards. The "Choosing an Image" section details the formats for the FreeBSD installer, including DVD, network install, and USB memory sticks, as well as virtual machine and embedded platform images. At the bottom, a table lists the FreeBSD 14.2 RELEASE version, including options for the installer, VM, SD Card, and Documentation. The text emphasizes that RELEASE versions are the result of release engineering and are recommended for most users.

Thank you for that valuable input

I've looked further into it and saw that it is quite extensive to set up and also has a suit that seems to be more targeted at larger environments to back up in a nice and cool manner, double confirming your words

When I discovered that for me it was easier to just jump back to bacula backup which I have known for decades

Giving credits to the programmers of
file-roller(1)

I'm really in a user interface mood right now. Only playing with the mouse meanwhile I'm making a backup of the long download of the massive multiplayer online role-playing game SWTOR

I mounted the source partition using thunar(1)
Then I physically mounted the drive in the tray where the destination was going to reside. After invoking file-roller I smoothly dragged the directory of SWTOR and dropped it into the Archiver which gave me the possibilities to make a tgz file of it and a dropdown where I could save tgz archive

Without lifting any more fingers than necessary I prepared the tape archive which would be gz compressed afterwards.

Since we're talking about a massive 56 GB it would take a while. As the progress bar slowly crept forward I did other things on other machines including Androids feeling content at the ease of which user interfaces bring sweet and smooth operations to us when we don't want to use any of our favorite shells

Photograph of an IPS LED panel displaying a file compression process. The main window is titled "Archive Manager" and shows the progress of adding files to a tgz file named "Star Wars - The Old Republic.tar.gz." The window indicates that 46 files remain to be added. The background has a Scania truck in a blue-toned image of a gorgeous blue truck with the word "SCANIA" visible on its side, parked in front of a massive building. The truck has a robust design with multiple lights and a mesh guard on the front. The photograph was composed using a very simple small sensor camera driven by an Android operating system, shot in Total Darkness with the camera in full automatic mode, driven by Open Camera
