New to FreeBSD? Choosing the right installation image is a great place to start.
A member of the FreeBSD community recently shared a helpful walkthrough explaining the different FreeBSD installation images and when to use each one, including:
• DVD images
• Boot-only (network install)
• USB memory stick images
Watch the video:

I've been using Cachet for our status page for a long time now but unfortunately it seems to keep getting abandoned and I don't have the skill (or the time) to try to fix the issues in the upstream version that keep causing glitches for us.
Has anyone got any recommendations for good self hosted status page software like Cachet that doesn't depend on being populated by automated monitoring data / similar. I just want a way to post the status myself and show an overview of the various services.

Sometimes, you have to dial back the tech to make ends meet.

Hello, Fediverse!
We just shipped NeoDB 0.10 , with revamped i18n support and other features. A dedicated project site is also up: https://neodb.net

Love to hear your thoughts, and if you find this project useful, or think someone else may think so, please help boost!
Do you speak French 🇫🇷 and would like to guide French organizations on their transition journey from #Jira to @openproject?
Boosts welcome. <3 #getfediHired

Even though these boards were sponsored by JLCPCB, I still wanted to save some money, so I opted to handle the through-hole components myself. I also deliberately ordered a few unpopulated PCBs to use as assembly jigs.
