This is an experimental BSD thread for anyone willing to discuss, help newbies or learn more about BSD in general.
I'll start. Who here uses TrueOS, and how stable and secure is the FreeBSD-CURRENT branch for desktop system which TrueOS is based on? Is there also any GELI or LUKS equivalent on OpenBSD for FDE of file systems and swap? I'm considering using either on my desktop at home.

Dumb question, but can I install FreeBSD on my hard drive, and later create and automount a ~/media partition on my home repository?

There's softraid's crypto discipline as GELI/LUKS equvivalent on OpenBSD.
>>61095964
I don't see why not

I've heard vaguely about that, but I don't know how it works, what crypto algorithms it uses, and if it works with swap. Is there also any eCryptfs/PersonaCrypt equivalent, btw?

here you go, a bit about softraid, you can jump to crypto section to find out more https://www.openbsd.org/papers/eurobsdcon2015-softraid-boot.pdf

Interesting, thanks! What about swap or even memory crypto, though?
>>
>>61097069
swap is encrypted by default on all openbsd installations i believe

just set a safe word and stick by it.
Oh wait, not BDSM?
nvm bye.

>>61097069
>>61097083
yeah as far as I know swap is totally secured on openbsd no problem

>swap encryption by default
Very cool, what about user home directory encryption like eCryptfs/PersonaCrypt, though?
>>
>>61097390
apparently you can use svnd devices and mount an encrypted file and use that as your home directory, but i've never done it
if you google the words i mentioned in the previous paragraph there's a guide for it in the first few results

Test it out in VirtualBox. I personally keep offline backups which is the best method for reinstallation, and my media on distinct zfs mounts.

Not trolling. How the fuck do you connect to those stupid wifi connections at places like universities, libraries, and hotel?
You know the ones. Where you open up your web browser and it fucking redirects you to their stupid login screen.

>>61099538
the operating system doesn't really matter there

For future reference those things are called captive portals.
Chromium and Firefox should be able to handle those. Not sure about other browsers.
