What looks like a simple nginx config change turns out to involve SSL library compatibility, firewall rules for a new protocol, and a subtle multi-process routing problem that only surfaces under real traffic. This documents what it actually took to get HTTP/3 (QUIC) working on nginx 1.28 inside a FreeBSD 15.0 Bastille jail - serving the Mastodon instance at burningboard.net.

11.0 release expected before the end of february 2026

Kernel changes * x86: PVH boot is now supported on non-XEN platforms (QEMU, Firecracker) * various new drivers for temperature (and other environmental) sensors and fan control * the heartbeat watchdog will detect locking errors that prevent softints from running or the timecounters from making progress on one of the CPUs * On machines with no entropy source timing based entropy estimation allows unblocking of the entropy system (like it used to before NetBSD 10.0) * lots of enhancements for Linux emulation * new syscall: semtimedop(2) * lots of enhancements to the riscv port * various bug fixes

In the agenda we will have reports from: - board (billc) - secteam (billc) - releng (martin) - core (riastradh) - finance-exec (riastradh) - membership-exec (martin, christos) - pkgsrc-pmc (wiz) - pkgsrc-security (tm, leot) - gnats (dh)

Released Oct 16, 2023.

after some unusual rough days for the netbsd-10 branch last week, we now have a state that is building fine again and all tests look as expected. We also made great progress on the icky DRM/KMS issues and overal stability.

The FreeBSD foundation has made significant progress in contacting commercial FBSD users. They also wish for FreeBSD to have better tier 1 cloud support, and better documentation on Azure (the latter sponsored by Microsoft, may be good or bad).

The BSDs have made quite a few innovations over the years. Many of them have not only made it to Linux, they have made it to Windows and MacOS as well. You might find this page on OpenBSD's website quite interesting! :)

This is the FreeBSD status report for the first quarter. It describes many operating system improvements, along with efforts on promoting FBSD. The FreeBSD foundation sponsors many events, which include tech conventions. Currently, the cluster administration team are looking for new mirror sites; If you know anyone, or are someone, who could host such sites, within certain countries, they wish to get in touch. The teams at FreeBSD also need help with various other things, such as translation, Freshports, and general feedback/patches.
