NomadBSD based on FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE from @pfriedma@pfedi.pfriedma.org

From https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@pfriedma@pfedi.pfriedma.org/116943113470215738:

… I built a version based on 15.1-release.

https://pfriedma.org/NomadBSD-15.1-pfriedma.img.gz (edited to gz to save some bandwidth)

It’s x64 only, doesn’t support secure boot, and is the UFS version. (I’m working on the ZFS version now to see if it’s any more performant) but it works and lets you try out things.

I think it can be read in Firefox:

Sorry, I meant, the conversation is not readable in that way.

I hope that people downloading the 2.5 GiB image are not a drag on their server …
