 I've just installed a #FreeBSD jail using #bastillebsd in less than 30' using @6107fbe2's article :

https://stafwag.github.io/blog/blog/2023/09/10/migrate-from-ezjail-to-bastille-part1-introduction-to-bastillebsd/

 This nice little thing is using #zfs datasets to save space, uses only 5 meg after creation. 

After that, 'bastille console' chroots you into it, and it's 10 min to setup root/user & ssh.

The syntax is intuitive, everything is well thought out, I'm impressed.

 followup of the last post

brave was installed, but I got :

ELF interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 not found, error 2

when trying to launch it from /usr/local/bin/linux-brave

As I had nothing else installed on /compat/ubuntu, I decided to let the script reinstall the ubuntu  system :

doas ./linux-browser-installer chroot delete

(deletes /compat/ubuntu, please don't do this it you have other linux softwares installed in it)

doas ./linux-browser-installer chroot create

(recreate it with all the dependencies)

It runs fine now. I guess the script doesn't check all the needed freebsd & ubuntu packages when it sees that /compat/ubuntu is already installed. 
 Thanks to @7f5ba30f's article :

I 've just installed linux-brave on #FreeBSD.

I noticed that if you are running the ./linux-browser-installer when /compat/ubuntu is already installed, you encounter some errors.

You need to install curl first in the /compat/ubuntu chroot, or you'll see this:

E: Unable to locate package curl

Same thing for gnupg:

E: gnupg, gnupg2 and gnupg1 do not seem to be installed, but one of them is required for this operation

Funny how you end up using #apt on freebsd!

 Friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse, I was reminiscing on Matrix just a moment ago and decided... 
 @5f9bb1a8 great to have a printer where you don't need to think about the cartridge level (and cost).

 As time unfolds, it's disheartening to see #Google #Chrome slowly becoming the new Internet Explo... 
 @5f9bb1a8 worse than that : a lot of foss web browsers use the chromium engine internally. I guess the problematic code is removed or going to be, but still, we could do with more alternatives than just firefox.

Don't get me wrong, firefox is great, but having more choices is also a good thing. 
 if you feel like trying #hellosystem,  a few hints :

- alt is emulating the command key
- super seems to be associated with option
- to interrupt a termiinal command, it's ctrl-alt-c

besides that, it's a nice & polished experience, especially for someone (like me) who almost never used macos, it has that strange new world feeling.
