#FreeBSD with a question mark.

uh, just found #freebsd #librewolf 152.0.2-1 has buggy #tabstop behaviour - pressing TAB doesn't reliably jump to the first visible tabstop if scrolled down a bit.

@… those questions are not for me to answer.
I encourage readers to think of constructive ways to guide enthusiastic people.
Publicly insulting their efforts is not the way forward.

I was wondering why none of my #FreeBSD systems got the latest #nginx - so I searched... and it took me a good hour again to figure out that the OS is by default insecure; you need to actively change the repo settings in order to get recent software with bug fixes - latest instead of quarterly:

Change between `quarterly` and `latest` package set used by `pkg` tool in FreeBSD
The pkg tool in FreeBSD is usually set to draw upon either the quarterly or latest package set. The latest set may churn more often with updates, while the quarterly is meant to be more stable but ...

I have now installed #FreeBSD on
-- a Dell Latitude 5320
-- a T430
-- a Poweredge R540
and it's remarkably easy. I've got Wayland and LibreOfficeworking cheerfully on the laptops. The server took a little more fiddling because of its own weird hardware issues, but I'm setting up jails for all sorts of things. Refreshingly easy. I really missed BSD. Glad to be back.

Interesting to see that with the likes of Slackware and Gentoo there's some stuff to do, whereas FreeBSD enables network video playback ootb. Powerful.

I do not appreciate finding out via active breakage that Broadcom has decided to screw all #FreeBSD users of the #Salt configuration management tools. Not that I’m shocked, but I wish it didn’t happen because of a ‘pkg upgrade’ run installing the python 3.12 version and all of its py312-* dependencies and then…

I'm glad to finally see this:

The repo troubles aside (latest is not fully back for me), hyprland on FreeBSD turned out to be the Turd show I expected it to be. A quick glance at the forums showed me I'm not the only one. With excellent alternatives like mango available it's time to move on. One final go at it tomorrow.morning.
Btw, the first time I had to weed through large numbers of completely useless AI slop guides. Speaking of a pile of shiite 💩

Is there any specific explanation why KDE Wayland on FreeBSD uses so much RAM? 2.3 to 2.5 gb? For me personally it doesn't matter, all these discussions are beyond me, it's not 1972 anymore. But it is noticeable and I wonder why.
