In my previous blog post I was discovering FreeBSD VM and their impact on performance. In this blog I'll compare a FreeBSD VM with a FreeBSD Jail How complex is it to build, what are the steps, ... And do we have the expected performance from those Jails

The subject of this blog is to explain how I've configured my OpenBSD 7.6 and FreeBSD 14.1 to connect to their wifi which only "speak" IPv6 This is not a setup I encountered frequently, and I just want to remember how I did it ;)

Which platform is the best to run FreeBSD VM ? Linux/KVM or FreeBSD/bhyve ?

I would invest time and energy on the setup of VM, but on which platform ? Since +15 years, I like BSD systems, but I hear more and more persons promoting Linux/KVM platforms. Should I re-invest (I started with Linux before 2000) my time on Linux ecosystem ? Lot of elements must be taken into account to answer such question, but in this blog I'll focus on the performance aspects. More specifically, I'll compare Linux/KVM and FreeBSD/bhyve. And I'll use tests representative for me which are mainly compute and filesystem. The network part is also important, but the machine I will use for such study is not a good one for that. Update February 9th 2025: I have added a comparison between virtio-blk and nvme
