It wrongly includes the command prompt.

Any #FreeBSD sysadmins out there running #Bastille jails with multiple interfaces?
Or any sort of jail with multiple interfaces?
I was going to try out Bastille rather than old-fashioned manual "Thick" jail like the ones I’ve set up before because I've never done multiple interfac…

"Craft a single network packet to obtain root": I had hoped that this type of vulnerability hat been eliminated.
At least, the Router Advertisement packets should generally not be able to cross routers.
Patch your #FreeBSD systems now.

Updated the codeberg.org/thesaigoneer/freebsd-mangowc repo. Still a lot to do, but at least the most relevant things are there, including the mango configs itself 😆 Also the sw selection has been amended, including yazi and foot now.

FreeBSD 15.0-RC4 Now Available
#FreeBSD

@… she knows how to pronounce MATE, that's better than me.
No kidding.

Told y'all before: FreeBSD has the most exciting and full-fledged stack of Wayland compositors and applications.
Most exciting part of Mangowc: switching between tiling and scrolling with one keybind. And a ton more, to be discovered by yours truly. Enjoying it a lot so far.

@… also, because the argument has not yet arisen:
― don't call FreeBSD a bistro.

Nice bug resolution in bugzilla
Overcome by event.

freebsd-version: command not found
Is my bash syntax wrong?

That updating went totally transparant and without a hitch, from beta5:
# freebsd-version -kru
15.0-RC2
15.0-RC1
15.0-RC2
Already going to RC2. And still running KDE Plasma 6.5.2 Wayland. Kudos!
#freebsd

pkgbase: all packages deleted without deleting FreeBSD.
pkg-unregister(8) is our friend.
pkg version 2.5.0 is something special.
A software reason to be jolly for a festive season.
Fa la la la la, la la, la, la.

Cinnamon and MATE should be fine. System sounds are audible on FreeBSD 15.0-RC4.
VirtualBox host: Kubuntu.

#FreeBSD

We have sound! RTFM, ye olde geezer 😆 The FreeBSD handbook delivered (again..). On with configuring Mangowc (and some River) today 🥭🪟
#freebsd

@… I know that support for Wi-Fi is improved in 15.0 (compared to 14.3-RELEASE).
Details, I don't know. Release documentation is not finalised.
#FreeBSD #WiFi…

Love it when a plan comes together.
KDE Plasma 6.5.2 Wayland on FreeBSD 15 beta 5. My how-to will be updated tomorrow (some minor tweaks), but this is running solid on that laptop.
Thanks to @… for useful additions!
#freebsd

No need to be left behind.
The adjusted how-to is up and running at https://codeberg.org/thesaigoneer/freebsd-kde-wayland.
So, go and get your latest KDE Plasma 6.5.2.Wayland on FreeBSD!

@… season's greetings from Plasma on FreeBSD-CURRENT with pkgbase 🎄
#KDE #Plasma #FreeBSD

My 'complaining' about KDE has led to an extra effort by the FreeBSD community to pull me in 🤣 Ungoogled Chromium is back in ports with the latest version 👍🏻
#freebsd

What I want, now, is a pkg command to list unregistered packages.
Oops, too late 🙃

The easy way out is riverwm on FreeBSD, dots and set-up already available on my Codeberg.
The more challenging way is qtile or sway on FreeBSD 15.
Let's get out of that slump!

@… I'm reassured by the top-ranking related comment in YouTube.
Yes, it's anime.

I wonder why fonts are wrong in Konsole in LXQt Desktop.
(Not wrong in Openbox or KDE Plasma.)

When you get that opacity and Gruvbox theme working in Wezterm (wezterm.lua).
Pushing my luck here, but it looks to turn out as a great day.

It is telling that my second blog post today is a rewrite of my FreeBSD 15 install how-to. Once I go to the paid tier I'll start reshuffling and tagging. And since it's all not that important I've called mine The Infinite Nothing.

I got most ARM64 machines working in QEMU. One exception:

I decided Xfce wasn't exciting enough for me. It didn't end well 😆 When you spend the last two hours setting up Niri on FreeBSD 15 only to find out in the end there's a bug open (originated on the FBSD side, since 25.11; it used to work on 14) 😭
At least I've got all deps and packages ready to go :mortyheh: Moving on, river it'll be!

@… add a hashtag? Thanks.

Funny to see that Vietnam's timezones are still split in North and South Vietnam in the FreeBSD installer. Saw it before obviously, but now I will apply for an installer change. It's probably a leftover from the BSD days, when there were clearly two different countries, but it has been one Vietnam since 1975.
#freebsd

Honey, I shrunk the kernel!
@… #FreeBSD #pkgbase

@… some of what's written about pkgbase is unnecessarily alarmist.
In a nutshell: you can use it for RELEASE, STABLE, and CURRENT. No need to build from source for updates.
#FreeBSD

@… the choice is not at all weird, it's explained in the information that the FreeBSD Foundation has made available.
#FreeBSD #KDE

After maybe a decade of "pkgbase", I doubt that the official new phrase "freebsd-base" will catch on and become more popular.
It's five syllables, plus a hyphen, which breaks tagging in (at least) Mastodon.
#pkgbase #freebsd-base

@… why a time bomb?
I did followed the link, but I don't see an explanation (sorry).

SDDM was fine with GNOME when I tested a few days ago.

Also, certain to generate bickering:

A few nit-picks from me in Reddit, but I really like the article.
I mean, I _really_ like it. I fully expected you to be harsher (now) about some of the things that you picked up in the past.
