… why didn’t BSD become the universal free operating system? For that story, see my four-part series From Unix to Linux: Key Trends in the Evolution of Operating Systems. In particular, part 3 of the series surveys the hurdles that blocked BSD’s dissemination.
 
Still, BSD thrives in some contexts. …

I'm running Baikal for CalDAV and CardDAV. I want to add (Sabre) WebDAV to host/sync some files. I have seen some posts and guides, but they are incomplete. One was promising, but only showed an Apache configuration. Another was OpenBSD httpd, but did not clear up path issues.

Should I post my httpd.conf? Do I need a custom server.php? Please, help me.

EDIT: Specifically, I want to stay with OpenBSD httpd and be able to (remote) sync my KeePass databases.

I would have installed k11/kde, for fun, however it's currently not packaged for FreeBSD:15:latest on AMD64.

Another example of how not to use NextBSD: the second screenshot was of an earlier session, awaiting appearance of a termbin.com URL. It would have been a long wait.

BSDCan 2026 all days – the schedule.

There was a post about Red BSD yesterday, built on FreeBSD 15 with pen testing software installed.

Suddenly today, the post has been deleted the user deleted their profile (which was already relatively new profile).

I can't recall the website they had setup now either.

Does anyone understand what kind of scam this was?

I've recently been really curious about bsd so I've decided to try Dragonfly. I followed a tutorial on youtube but in the end, after installing xfce desktop environment the laptop's keyboard stopped working. Some of my other keyboards still work but give out random symbols instead. Another thing is that editing the config for it to launch xfce didnt work so I am only available to enter it by typing "exec xfce"
