#ChimeraLinux

linkedlist.org/ is now hosted on #ChimeraLinux using a mini-CDN/Edge network I built. I have a servers in Australia, France, and USA with GeoDNS selecting which one to send you to.

Is this needlessly complicated for such a low-traffic website? Yes, but I wanted to try to make it faster for more people and here we are. I already had the AU server and the other two cost just over $US1/month, so it shouldn't send me broke… hopefully.

Been sorting out my git repos. I decided to rename my dotfiles which housed my #ChimeraLinux dots to chimeralinux-dotfiles and added a new repo freebsd-dotfiles which will contain my now current dotfiles. These will be updated as time goes on and I find issues or add new stuff.
I'm also thinking about adding a FreeBSD Config repo to store the likes of /etc/rc.conf to either help others or let others help me? Is that a good idea ?

You can replace \w with [_[:alnum:]]


I'm needing some #FreeBSD 14.1 sed assistance as my blarg blog script is now failing under FreeBSD.
When this line runs:

echo "$filename" | sed -r 's|\w+/(.*).md|build/\1.html|'

I get this error:

sed: 1: "s|\w+(.*).md|build/\1.h ...": RE error: trailing backslash (\)

I tried removing the \ before the w and the error goes away but the sed line doesn't do anything then ?
It is supposed to change any .md file paths into build/*.html
For example if it gets posts/my-first-freebsd-server.md it should output build/my-first-freebsd-server.html
This worked on #ChimeraLinux and #VoidLinux

I have noticed this but not sure if it's relevant ????

Any ideas please and thank you ? ❤️

My #AMD #ThinkPad P14s with 16Gb ram certainly boots faster than it did when I ran #ChimeraLinux with #ZFS and #ZFSBootMenu . Shutting down using the poweroff command I'd say #Linux wins but not by much, though I am using #Geli for encryption on my FreeBSD laptop which maybe slows it a little ? The rest of the speeds for general use it's hard to tell so far and as for resilience I've had no issues as yet and the same could be said for my #HomeLab too.
Why did I choose FreeBSD ? As I was already leaning towards #BSD using Chimera Linux I thought I'd have a read up on various and really liked ZFS so it was obvious that I would choose FreeBSD really. I have read up on #OpenBSD but looking at the docs, reviews and their software repo's I decided it was for me right now. I will be honest some things do seems harder but that's what makes it exciting again as I'm having to relearn stuff and you know how I like a challenge.

@osnews PSA from an owner of a custom Ampere Altra workstation: gpu/graphics choice is limited and affects OS choice! There is a reason System76 chose a NVidia gpu.

The Ampere Altra has a PCIe bug that causes problems with AMD gpus and the linux amdgpu driver, requiring an out-of-tree linux kernel patch that is sporadically maintained and unlikely to ever be upstreamed. (chimera-linux.org is the only distro that ships with this patch applied) The amdgpu drm driver maintainers have expressed no interest in working around this bug within the driver itself either.

Remember that this driver ends up in FreeBSD and OpenBSD too! Personally a Polaris generation gpu has worked with stock OpenBSD 7.6 kernel because the kernel handles device memory mapping differently than linux and doesn’t seem trigger the PCIe bug. With a newer Navi 2nd gen gpu, the bug interrupts firmware loading in stock OpenBSD. It can be worked around, but:

There is also an issue where Vega and newer gpus require cpu hardware floating point math in the kernel driver code which wasn’t supported on arm64 until drm in Linux 6.2. The most recent releases of FreeBSD and OpenBSD are either on an older drm than that, or haven’t ported the hardware floating point code within the kernel driver on arm64 yet. So even if you get the Navi firmware to load, you don’t get any farther than that (Display Core requires the fpu code).

Nvidia supports arm64 with their closed source driver and is unaffected the PCIe bug (or works around it, depending on what you read, but the code is secret so 🤷) but no BSD for you! They only have Linux arm64 drivers. The older cards supported by nouveau will also get you nowhere on BSD.

Also note that Nvidia DOES NOT ship an arm64 option rom GOP driver for EFI console graphics on any of their cards. Your motherboard/platform could provide an emulator in the UEFI firmware to use the x86-64 GOP driver (my Asrock motherboard doesn’t.) Polaris AMD gpus didn’t include arm64 GOP in the rom, but the 2nd gen Navi DOES. So you can get boot console on it but only working OS graphics on patched linux 🫠

I've been really happy using Chimera Linux as it's the closest to running BSD whilst still being Linux. But I cannot get the thought of maybe going full on FreeBSD. So I'm away for a long hot soak in the bath to watch various videos on the differences of BSD and Linux and to see if I could really be at home daily driving #FreeBSD over my beloved #ChimeraLinux ? I'll obviously be using a #Wayland WM either #River or #SwayWM . Go on give me your thoughts and experiences on daily driving FreeBSD.

I'm hosting an Australian mirror of repo.chimeralinux.org. This speeds up downloads for folks in this part of the world, especially package updates. I think it may also be beneficial for folks in parts of Asia too.

The mirror is hosted on a server running Chimera Linux. I've written a post describing how to use it and a bit of background of how I set it up:

wezm.net/v2/posts/2024/austral

#ChimeraLinux #Linux /cc @chimera_linux

www.wezm.netAustralian Chimera Linux MirrorI have set up a mirror of repo.chimeralinux.org on a server in Australia (Brisbane). It’s been running well for a couple of weeks now. The root of the mirror shows an index of what is hosted and when it was last synced. /chimera is where the Chimera data lives. It mirrors the packages as well as ISO and rootfs downloads. Using the mirror greatly speeds up package downloads, which in-turn makes things like apk upgrade a lot faster. Some rudimentary testing suggests this this server may also provide a speed improvement for folks in parts of Asia too.
