Shhh! Something is coming... Don't tell anyone.

Thanks to everyone for voting! #BoxyBSD will keep focused on BSD based systems - but I still like to teaser something: #OpenSolaris will be available soon. And there’s even one more thing… @gyptazy will announce this in the beginning of the next month.

Guess, I spoilered something for #BoxyBSD now.

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?

Hey #BSD Fans!

We all share the same interests - #BSD based systems like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD and #NetBSD.

We chat all day, sharing thoughts, questions and help. We talk on Matrix across different channels, we share on the #Fediverse. We have @vermaden@bsd.cafe's newsletter, we have @dexter@bsd.network's #FreeBSD #Jails and #bhyve calls and many other ones I can't list here.

Wondering if there would be and interests in the #BSDNetwork, #BSDCafe, etc., for a weekly smalltalk session like in a pub. Just a Jitsi based video/audio call where we can meet, discuss things from newsletter, trending things from the #Fediverse or just have off-topic and openminded discussions. This could result into the #BSDPub meeting.

I know, some people are shy - keep your cam off until you feel comfortable and feel free to join the discussions. Even this meetings should make fun and no pressure - so if someone is not in the mood or can't make it - no worries. No one will judge.

Would you be interested?

Maybe there would be significant differences about kernel memory management between #Solaris based (including #OpenSolaris and #OpenIndiana) OS'es and #FreeBSD. On #FreeBSD, if there are large enough RAM and swap is used only for backend of tmpfs and for crash dumps, there should be completely no problem with swap on ZVOLs or swap file on ZFS.
But once swap is used for paging/swaping, ZFS code possibly fails to allocate memory to handle paging/swapping, thus panics with (usually) double fault.
