Oh okay , thanks for the definition !

Haha sorry to wake up unreasonable curiosity to you ! :D

You said

gaming wasn't possible because of stutters

I searched what 'stutters' mean, I don't know this word, and I've just found the definition of people who suffer of speech disorder :)

I wouldn't trust USB Ethernet adapter if latency is important to me but maybe I'm wrong it's just superstition. I've just used one time OPNsense for the work and just for checking some network information but I remember saying it was a nice web ui haha

Thanks for your answer ! Someone already mention TPM, I will check about that when I will have free time. Already try pikvm and tinypilot with no success unfortunately.. Didn't know NBSDE, will take a look too !

Yeah, not hard to do better than windows ! ;) I thought freebsd has many improvements each new versions so if your try was many years ago maybe you will find something interesting today... Or maybe not ;) It wasn't possible to fix the latency because of people who suffered of speech disorder ?

I have not said "I have a box at my home" , just "at home" ;)

No problem, I appreciate ;) I hope my answer was not too rude !

At the beginning to try something different, curiosity. I've began to write a comparison but in fact I can not doing that because I never used Linux for self hosted services, just for user things like... Checking my mails. I find it easier for that side.

But, for example , after setting my first jails , I've read how I could've done it on Linux. I've found lxc (for example) hard to learn and configure while chroot was not enough secure to my taste without a little bit tuning. Jail is native, it's one conf file, easy to read and write, and four lines in rc.conf to enable it (with its own virtual network interface). With zfs it's easy to deploy the same base system for all your jails and to maintain it update and it's fully isolated. Want to enable another service ? Write theservice_load="YES" in rc.conf. no systemd linking with some file or whatever I don't know. Same if you want an additional virtual network (+1 more line). Customizing your kernel, build it and installing it is one conf file to edit +4 for short command line (don't know how to do on Linux)...

Again it's not a comparison, it's just why I stay with freebsd, maybe it's more comfortable to me because I'm not doing real hard security things, I'm not a pro sysadmin , but I found doing and learning those things (customizing kernel, jails and other things) was (really) easy when reading the clear docs. And many security things are native.

Sorry for the long answer ^

Yeah someone already told Me that some years ago (yeah, years ago...) but it doesn't work exactly like that with freebsd , it's possible but not full encrypted disk solution . thanks for your answer

[–] Jean_Mich_Much@jlai.lu 1 points 11 months ago (9 children)

Thanks for your answer but... I like freebsd as a host

[–] Jean_Mich_Much@jlai.lu 1 points 11 months ago

Hmm seems to be hid keyboard "emulator" too. Having tried this kind of solution makes me think I have a problem with the hid module at boot so I will maybe abandoned this solution, will see. Thanks for your answer !

[–] Jean_Mich_Much@jlai.lu 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Shit, i totally missed this one, maybe not searching with good keywords... Thanks a lot, I've read fast for the moment so it doesn't seems to be fully encrypted but scenario in the forum and solution proposed can answer my needs (sorry for bad English ). Thanks !

[–] Jean_Mich_Much@jlai.lu 2 points 11 months ago

Didn't know this thing, I will check about that, thanks !

 

Hi there ! I have a little box at home, hosting some little services for personal use under freebsd with a full disk encryption (geli). I'm never at home and long power outage often occurs so I always need to come back home to type my passphrase to decrypt the disk.

I was searching this week a solution to do it remotely and found the "poor-guy-kvm" solutions turning a Raspberry like board (beaglebone black in my case) in a hid keyboard. It works fine once the computer has booted but once reboot when the passphrase is asked before it loads the loader menu, nothing. When I plug an ordinary USB keyboard I can type my passphrase so USB module is loaded.

Am I missing something ? Am I trying something impossible ?

(I could've asked on freebsd forum but... Have to suscribe, presentation, etc... Long journey)
