@release_candidate@bsd.cafe @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe the resources and capacity isn’t an issue right now. But you’re right, I want to have a clean service with less abusements. When starting this, this was especially the point. Linux is much more common with default tools and script to abuse the service, while it might not be worse to take the time and efforts to adapt it to BSD based systems. Currently, I’m really happy about the usage. It turned out that this niche is even more used by BSD enthusiasts and professionals than expected and targeted but as long as it provides a value and helps the people and the community and brings somehow a value - why not. I think brining more people into BSD is a lot more difficult than initially expected. Maybe there will be some more adjustments to BoxyBSD to target professionals by creating more complex dev labs with more resources (in parallel). I really want to provide the opportunity for beginners to have a place to start, test and learn.

@BoxyBSD people would use them. Assuming you are running these on Bhyve?

Would be kinda cool if you automated the build process and had a few VMs around that just did benchmarking using popular phoronix test suites. Apples-to-apples compare BSD/Linux on identical hardware every release & published the tests over the web.

Would also be kinda cool if you automated the build process for the base VMs themselves and provided snapshots for download. Act as a trusted VM provider. I'd gobble them up.

@puppygirlhornypost@transfem.social

@gyptazy@gyptazy.ch @kta@hostux.social @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe certain benchmarks are misleading at best in this environment. Synthetic filesystem benchmarks are a no go. They're not a useful metric to begin with but they get clusterfucked with qcow2 and other methods of storing vm disk images on another file system. I mean yeah you can keep it consistent but it’s not an adequate reflection of the combinations. I have a bone to pick with SQL based synthetic benchmarks being virtualized as well because without cpu affinity (basically provisioning a cpu core/thread for those out of the loop) you’re misrepresenting things. Cpu cache is very important and the context switching alone from different vms running at the same time will skew the numbers.

Networking benchmarks may be worthwhile though. it’s really interesting the performance differences in tcp/ip in particular between kernels. That would be of interest, though it may be hard to separate quirks due to differences in how virtualized networking is handled between qemu and bhyve. I wonder if there’s any sort of scheduler benchmarks? It’d be interesting to see how FreeBSD’s scheduler (idr the name off the top of my head) compares to linux CFS in virtualized workloads. Hmmm… this is intriguing

Long post [SENSITIVE CONTENT]@puppygirlhornypost@transfem.social @kta@hostux.social @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe doing benchmarks there is indeed not a good idea. Especially the resource pools are of course pretty low and my own systems will get priority on load. This is for educational stuff, not for production usage. Sure, I know some that run prod things and I do my best to deliver a good service and they’re probably better than even some paid ones (I prefer to limit slots than overprivisioning and running too many instances per host node). But keep in mind - it’s a free service.

...

Amber »
@puppygirlhornypost@transfem.social

@gyptazy@gyptazy.ch @kta@hostux.social @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe yeah automated benchmarks are a resource hog. They use up resources, and for the reasons I outlined they’re just not that effective at learning anything from? If someone really wanted to see the difference between CFS and how FreeBSD schedules things they can do that manually no? Presumably that’s still learning while not overtaking everyone else’s needs. I was much more on the fence in my approach but yeah I mean for a project like this automated benchmark suites are costly. Benchmarks as an educational thing done manually? Hell yeah I mean learning the difference between how kernels handle stuff is part of what intrigues me about the BSD community. FreeBSD’s approach to things vastly differs from OpenBSD.

Kyle Taylor »
@kta@hostux.social

@puppygirlhornypost @gyptazy @BoxyBSD we benchmark systems almost constantly where I've worked. Databases, web servers, filesystems, Linux distributions, different versions of software, bare metal vs VMs vs containers. The gammut. Most of the tests are fairly generic and are platform agnostic. And they are automated. They're a great resource for finding regressions introduced from recent code changes from dev. And also for making decisions about bringing systems from staging into production

...

Amber »
@puppygirlhornypost@transfem.social

@kta@hostux.social @gyptazy@gyptazy.ch @BoxyBSD@mastodon.bsd.cafe Oh yeah absolutely they can be insightful. It’s incredibly useful during the prototyping stage, when you’re trying to finalize your starting point. Knowing how things react, especially having agnostic benchmarks for software to see how your deployment interacts with a variety of different components. Very nice stuff. I tend not to work on that high of a level but I can appreciate it, distributing cross platform software is a big pain.

Knowing things like how certain databases perform better on certain stacks can help you design deployments. Understanding the expectation of virtual deployments when it comes to databases. I run mariadb and some other small databases virtualized without problem. Cpu affinity doesn’t matter there because I’m not optimizing for performance. They run tiny things that not very many people use, and are not mission critical. The knowledge regarding cpu cache missing impacting performance on certain workloads would not have been gained if people did not benchmark it.

Kyle Taylor »
@kta@hostux.social

@gyptazy @BoxyBSD it could function a bit like an artifacts registry with Kubernetes. Use a sha256 hash of the snapshot to validate the transfer. Could even write a manifest entry to /root that is signed with a private GPG key to verify authenticity after the VM is created. I should look into the OCI specification for container registries to see how they do it. No need to reinvent the wheel.

@gyptazy In its slight defence, the original intention for IPv6 was that it would always be autoconfigured (although I'm not sure it's really such a good idea).

Info: No recordings, no deep tech dives (keep it simple, we have calls for the details, no pressures to anyone, have fun and enjoy)

When I started the poll to ask for interests in such a meeting I wasn’t sure that even more than 5 people would be interested. I’m happy to see this amount of interested BSD users. I’m aware of the different timezones and it might make sense to have a second timeslot. This one mostly covers the European and near-east users.

spare parts, true, but imagine that you're paying for the same thing I have home. you can almost buy spare parts every month with that money 😆 plus you own the whole thing! and all the data is truly yours.

The static IP is true, but for example, it has been more than 5 years since my ISP changed my public IP (if not more). Maybe I'm lucky? I don't know 😅

@gyptazy@gyptazy.ch @jcamos@bsd.cafe okay but consider context switching on vms. Most vps providers are thin provisioning their servers to maximize profit. This has disastrous consequences on workloads that try to utilize cpu cache such as an SQL database. Cpu affinity is a real thing but again you have to pay $$$ for that, not to mention can you trust your cheap provider to actually mitigate side channel attacks such as speculative execution? I mean most cheap providers are still running shit like haswell.

I understand, but I'm talking about the common believe nowadays that everything should be cloud based and that it's cheaper than running your own server. Most of the times there is no need for that.

Sure, if you have a company that needs several servers available in different places in the world, or to be able to escalate or reduce resources quickly, than it might make sense... but again, it depends on your needs 🙂

@extrowerk@bsd.cafe That’s a pretty good question which I also asked but didn’t got valuable feedback.

So, wen can have a public agenda with topics we want to talk to, which can be created weekly. We can jump in open-minded like a meeting in a pub or restaurant and talk spontaneously about everything. What I really want to avoid is having deep dive tech talks where only a few ones can talk about it and there also might be dedicated call for, targeting the users.

But this is my current IMHO, if no one complains, this sessions could be recorded and published.

What do you mean by „announced“? Within the first iteration it was more about getting feedback, but I think the first meeting could start next Thursday at 7PM GMT+2. I’m not sure if it may make sense to have two meetings to cover the different timezones or if it would fragment the call…

Long post [SENSITIVE CONTENT]wow, we already have almost 50 people interested into a weekly meeting. In the BSDCafe we already thought about possible dates and additional organization.

Different timezones make it really hard to just have a single meeting and it might end up in two or even three ones but also trying to avoid fragmentation. But this will probably work out more in an iterative way…

The current idea is to start Thursdays, 7pm GMT+2 in an unmoderated public jitsi session where everyone can join. I think the targeted user group is able to handle it in that way, like we always do.

The question is also, do we want to have an agenda or only open minded jump in and see how it works out?! My experience is, that people might be shy to start talking, it’ll be silent and people start to drop’s drop. An agenda might be helpful for an initial start but I also want to avoid having an introduction round where everyone tells something about himself. I mean, this can be done optionally, but I’m also aware of it that some may feel uncomfortable with this. This round should just make fun and not make any pressure or someone feeling uncomfortable.

So, agenda or open minded and free to talk for the first sessions?

I tried. I really trief to get away from any dependency and host on my own. I have more than 8T of photos, not to mention much more of TB in video. I do not really organise my videos but they all have geo tags, text tags, etc. I heavily rely on face and object recognition and have a timeline of 15+ yrs. I tried to move from Google Photos and Apple Photos (I sync and use both in parallel) to an opensource solution like NC with facial recognition or immich.

Following issues I encountered:
* Browsing the photo gallery in general is even on mid-sized hosted servers (ryzon epic 4th gen with 32gb+ ram slow)
* Mobile App of NC does not provide solutions to filter for faces/objects
* I tend to use "Babe + red dress + beach + high heels" or "mercedes + Zurich + summer" as search terms which do not provide me what I what expect
* indexing the initial data takes long time (in the previous mentioned areas we don't speak about day or weeks, we speak about months!)
* NC requires so much more around to run well in general (caching!! Did I already mention caching?)

Currently, I think, Immich the better way to go which also lacks several problems but got at least working mobile apps.

sorry, just my 2 cents from someone who's looking to migrate 20+ TB of data into any suitable opensource solution and always failed.

@HauntedOwlbear@eldritch.cafe As much as I love to see such messages regarding hosting the own solution (which is under own control) - this is especially the problem.

Not everyone can afford an own server, not everyone has the knowledge, not everyone has the time to maintain and (security)patch it. Next problem is, as soon as it gets to legal problematic content hosting an own solution might still get taken offline easily.

If the DMCA report is filled to Discord or to your server hoster who takes your whole server offline doesn't really matter.

@evilham@chaos.social This service is more about providing and giving back some valuable content to the community, especially for people who can't afford this. There're many people out of our personal standards who are very interested into tech and motivated to learn and educate themself our in self organised groups. I often saw how they learn and writing code on paper sheets. If they can somehow afford a device, they still miss everything else. This is where I try to step in by providing free systems. However, also my resources are limited but even if it just helps a single person it was worth.

But of course there're also people who want to abuse everything (within the first iteration last year
, BoxyBSD got abused for spamming). While spamming is just an easy thing to deal with, things can escalate quickly. That's why I need somehow an easy verification system that is not too annoying. If PayPal is no option (which I can fully understand), there could also be a fallback solution.

@evilham@chaos.social is a free service, so luckily no payments to process. However, I think about using PayPal as a verification system to avoid abusing the service. As far as I understand the docs and API I should be able to use the service to only obtain the users emailaddress from PayPal without processing any other personal information or data.

Within the signup process the same email address must be used and a dummy payment of 0,01USD be performed. Via the API I can get validate the email address. The idea is that all person verification have already been done by PayPal. Next, I'm not processing any financial data because PayPal has dedicated contracts with each user. But I need to get my point of view safe because I don't want to get sued for any mistakes or wrong assumptions I made by providing a valuable service for free for the community.

So basically it could now handle the VM stuff (admin & enduser), email account creation including custom domains, alias handling etc, creating default webspace (including LE TLS, fcgi, MariaDB and PGSQL management).

I really like this approach because of the data minimalism. It just needs a pubkey and the related user for authentication. No email, no password,… nothing. Doing this in a webinterface could also be possible but with much more efforts by creating client certificates from BoxyBSD CA.

But I’m still not quite sure if this will make it to prod

Having a look at the specs of the VF2 doesn’t solve the issue for me:
https://doc-en.rvspace.org/VisionFive2/Datasheet/VisionFive_2/power_consumption.html

So the standby is 4.1W in table 1 and full 9.3W in table 3.

@scrottie@bsd.network Thanks for bringing up these ideas.

Currently, I only have only bandwidth & connection notifiers. Each VM is monitored for the network stats. I don't want to filter any traffic right now (like the initial BSDBoxy project, where people started to spam).

The initial idea of BoxyBSD is to provide a value especially to newcomers and people who can't afford things like this but should have a possibility to learn. Out of the Fediverse, e.g. on X (where I have my biggest follower base), many people are interested in such things but can't afford it. They're often from India or Africa. I don't want to generalize it here in any way, but bringing this up because of verification methods. While I could solve phone, sms or even postcard verification for more or less for free in Europe, everything out of Europe would take much time, more efforts and some money.

My next idea was a dummy payment by PayPal. PayPal accounts are well verified (unless they're overtaken and compromised). A dummy payment of 0,10 USD could do it. But I'm not quite sure if I want to deal with such data, even when not storing them and using them only for one-time verification. From a technical perspective this could be easily done with PayPal's API, but dealing with real names, addresses and financial data requires a different data policy and some other things. Honestly, I'm not even sure if this could be done on as "donation" base or if I have to deal with the tax office in that case.

TL;DR I need some time to get more details about that but currently I don't want to deal with any of these things and highly try to avoid getting sued for any mistakes I could potentially do when dealing with such things. And that's the sad point where things get complicated...

@tara@hachyderm.io Honestly, it's pretty simple. It's a simple ssh server implementation which just orchestrates APIs and binaries. User management can be mostly done (depends on the hypervisor which is used on desired system) by an API. For creating the status output it calls some binaries on the system and wraps the output. So, it sounds more fancy than it it.

1. Write SSH server implementation without any usage (just accepting user auth on pw and pub-key)
2. Add API communication
3. Wrap some cli tools

My first implementation was done in around 30 minutes in Python but then I decided it would be cool to write it in Rust for more practice. That took me honestly hours...

If it's done I will provide the sources on GitHub. But we can also talk about the details in matrix, just ping me...

I guess based VMs would be really pretty cool on . I think this would be really valuable but I’m struggling on possible implementations.

A: Using my 4x boards - each board has 8GB. This could lead into a temporary and time limited, dedicated usage of 7-30d.

B: It could be shared across with 7 users by on . Requires better support in FreeBSD.

C: QEMU emulated instances running on amd64

I’d really like to see rv64 being pushed and it was excactly the reason to get those boards to get more experience on that platform. However, just sharing some ideas - it does not mean that they will be available in the near future (but would be cool if so).

@xtaran@chaos.social you know shit gets real when a security line forbids you to download files on a desktop but mobile device is fine. Like it would be a big deal to change it…

@clement_la_baleine@mamot.fr haha, ich denke X hat da mal wieder eine klasse Übersetzung.

Danach kamen allerdings auch Regenschirme und Co, passte also nicht meine Annahme :)
