Time to say goodbye to #Fedora, after running the same installation on my laptop for 5 years, it is probably time to test something new.
#FreeBSD maybe?
:freebsd:

"Phrack article from 2002" o.O
lots of work to do in #FreeBSD 🧐

Still bugged – a fresh installation of BETA4.
First boot, unable to login as root.
#FreeBSD #bug #beta4

Disruptive.
Of course, on the first day of me traveling, Plasma 6.5 appears in the FreeBSD ports collection.
When 15beta 4 appears tomorrow or the day after I'll do a fresh install.
Gotta make sure that my howto of KDE Wayland on FreeBSD is still good 🥳

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

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…

Documentation and/or implementation of 'network' subcommand unclear. · Issue #1440 · BastilleBSD/bastille

A fresh installation of BETA4.
Things such as the kernel are not protected from deletion (without force).
Maybe this will not occur with online packages, when they become available.
#FreeBSD #beta4 #bug

"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.

FreeBSD 15.0-RC4 Now Available

Attention to meta packages alone is insufficient to prevent removal of the kernel.
In the attached screenshot, there was no force.

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.
#freebsd #mangowc

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

Me: updates on 15 come to quick, let's go back to 14.3, installed
Also me: wifi on 14.3 is way less stable for me, 15 was better.
Outcome: reinstall 15 again, update once a week 😆
#freebsd

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

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.
#FreeBSD #pkg

Fixed, thanks to @…
With and without less(1):
pkg query --evaluate '%o ~ base/*' '%o\n\n%e\n\n----\n\n' | less
pkg query --evaluate '%o ~ base/*' '%o\n\n%e\n\n----\n\n'
#FreeBSD

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

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

When one of the first things you do is lookup if FreeBSD has the MangoWM in it's ports you know what kind of day it'll be 🤓 It doesn't btw, so I guess I'll possibly go for a compile.
#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!

Still bugged in BETA3.
In the first screenshot – a more thorough test of the issue – it is impossible to login as root.
The third shot shows the failing result of a first attempt to work around.
A subsequent workaround succeeded, however the end result is quite ugly, and may be broken (with the possibility of another login failure) as a result of a true fix.
#FreeBSD…

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

Je m'intéresse Š #freeBSD. Je l'ai installé sur mon laptop Lenovo pour tester un peu. J'ai découvert #Linux avec Ubuntu 8.04 et je suis passé dessus pour fuir Windows mais aussi pour découvrir autre chose. Pour quelqu'un qui est déjŠ sur Linux pour un usage non professionnel (héb…

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

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

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!
#freebsd

Possible regression in FreeBSD Installer:
#FreeBSD

In appreciation of all great work being done on 15, I decided to go with 14.3, with the 'latest' branch. All pkgs available, my dots for River working flawlessly, very happy with all that.
Not always is the latest thing the best thing to happen for you.
#freebsd

Reproducible with alpha.
#FreeBSD #bug #regression

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.

After I delete a package, 'pkg upgrade' should not reinstall what I deleted.
#FreeBSD #bug

@… worked around 🙂 but now, another bug 😔
― runnable after 78 minutes
― running after 135 minutes
#FreeBSD #bug

When you're looking for the next shiny thing, on that always greener grass on the other side.
And you open your river wm on FreeBSD. And all is there, working and tweaked as you could possibly want.
Hold your horses, stick to what you have 🥳
#freebsd #riverwm

@… add a hashtag? Thanks.
#FreeBSD

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

For shell examples in documents such as the FreeBSD Handbook:
― the copy icon is bugged.
It wrongly includes the command prompt.
#FreeBSD #documentation

Best thing of the day? Finally cracking that volume change on the River wm, keybinds working now! What cracked it? Reading that effing manual of course 😅 And not deleting code you deem too much, but is essential to get it working 🤣
#freebsd #riverwm

/etc/rc.conf no longer working as expected for something basic.
Not fixed after installing then using bsdconfig and easy editor.
#FreeBSD

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

pkg upgrade does not upgrade; more recent packages are not installed.

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

Still bugged – after a fresh installation of BETA5.

@… sadly, the macOS card is overplayed 😞
Also, certain to generate bickering:
"You can have real Unix on your machine with these open-source OSes."
😉
#FreeBSD

@… thanks!
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.
#FreeBSD

alpha test period extended
👍

@… I can't tell whether you're joking.
No IPv6 at home in my region and when I last checked, no IPv6 at work.
I don't imagine gaining IPv6 during or before 2029. No joke.
