@… FYI <https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/pull/542> (and thanks for helping with D51279).

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 😆

@… I sincerely hope that the future freebsd-update will not drop users into vi when merges can not be automated.

It is good to spent an ungodly amount of time on tweaking your waybar and still not be totally satisfied with it.

Another system fixed.
#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.

I'm not pleased with what is being done to most tasks here, but I do love total perfect CPU utilization...

I wrote up how I installed KDE Plasma 6.4.4, running Wayland, on FreeBSD:
https://codeberg.org/thesaigoneer/pages/src/branch/main/FreeBSD and Plasma 6 install

Nope. A good night's sleep brought clarity. No new immutable Obelix Saigon.
Stick to the mantra of less to none GitHub.
Slackware, FreeBSD, Codeberg and the occasional Gentoo offer more than enough to serve this geezer.

@… I would like to see something similar for FreeBSD (or BSDs in general) …

GeekTalk:
Spending your working day in FreeBSD KDE 6, whilst simultaneously installing the KDE minimal package set on AerynOS.
More detailed reporting in the coming days, but let me assure you FreeBSD also has the latest KDE Gear and Plasma 6.4.4.1., hot on the heels of the fastest KDE spin out there, Slackware. Impressive!

KDE Plasma and applications on FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT
― 15.0-ALPHA2 FreeBSD Installer, I chose packages (pkgbase)
― then a major upgrade using pkg
#FreeBSD #pkgbase #KDE

For shits and giggles I decided to ssh upgrade my FreeBSD 15 to KDE 6.4.5, by using the latest ports. Let me say the process (git pulling the latest ports, portmastering et al) does certainly work. Five and a half hours later I'm happy to be not on the premises to hear my 2018 NUC take off. Rust, llvm, you get it.
Shits and giggles indeed 🤣
#freebsd

After the great feedback on my KDE Wayland setup on FreeBSD I'm now going through the paces for Hyprland on FreeBSD. Already have 95% done and dusted; expect to wrap up by tomorrow.
A satisfying setup, and I finally got rid of those crazy big gaps between everything. Took me four years to find the solution 🤣 You'll still be able to keep them of course 😜

Using pkgbasify to repair a broken installation of FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE
#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

Reproducible with alpha.

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…

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.

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

Who asked whether FreeBSD had up to date software?

Possible regression in FreeBSD Installer:

Just tested my FreeBSD KDE Wayland setup on 15-PRERELEASE and it works as well.
The part in my write up about switching to the Latest branch doesn't apply obviously. We're there already 🥳

Would #FreeBSD be better for seeding massive amounts of data over BitTorrent than #Linux because it's better at disk I/O?

This, THIS is why you should NEVER trust me to touch your computer:

Quite happy with my learning curves of Slackware and Gentoo; it helps with pulling in, reading and eventually making and applying updated ports with portmaster. Hyprland 0.51!
#freebsd

Because you need to start somewhere, I'll be putting KDE 6.4.4 with FreeBSD on my laptop today. That latest Plasma arrived in Ports yesterday already. As I mentioned before FreeBSD can be very quick with cutting edge updates (basically anything Wayland as well, i.e. Niri et al). By using the latest KDE, which I'm very familiar with, it gives me all the time to learn about FreeBSD. Looking forward to it!

@… it seems likely that 15.0 will not include the installer enhancement for KDE Plasma and applications.
Instead, the packages can be installed in the traditional way, at the command prompt when exiting the installer.
#FreeBSD…

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

Obviously there's still work to be done in the Wayland session of KDE Plasma 6 on FreeBSD.
Let's see what'd be the best way to 'report' those oddities.
For instance: the volume icon shows and tells a disconnect from the sound service. Nevertheless it's working fine.
Those little niggles 🥳

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 🥳

pkg upgrade does not upgrade; more recent packages are not installed.
#FreeBSD #documentation

KDE Plasma: ZFS mount points as devices in the sidebar of Dolphin on FreeBSD-RELEASE:
— is this a new thing, has anyone else seen it?
I'm accustomed to seeing rpool and bpool misrepresented as devices in Kubuntu (a known issue).
I don't recall seeing a comparable bug in FreeBSD before yesterday.
#FreeBSD

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

That is a lot of fun! The update to 6.4.4 is rolling out as we speak, but just to give a first impression.
Plasma 6.4.3, Wayland session, basics installed and up and running. Even Spectacle (was a big issue previously) works well.
Wrapping up tomorrow, I've deserved that cool 🍻 for now.
#freebsd

When you're reading BastilleBSD documentation at 6:22AM, with your first coffee ☕, you know you are in for an interesting day. Needless to say I'm enjoying dipping that foot into the BSD's.
#bastille #freebsd

FreeBSD provides the standard KDE Plasma package, which is the preferred way as recommended by KDE themselves. Nevertheless, you can still uninstall i.e. Discover and Konqueror, which are part of that base package (like I do).
Don't be put off by the inclusion of kde-base-apps in your removal overview, only the relevant parts for that application will be removed. All other apps and libraries will stay put and continue to work.

What's wrong with this picture?
#FreeBSD #CURRENT #comedy #magic

Weariness with hyprland. I hardly ever use it these days.
Of course KDE in many shapes and sizes.
Riverwm on FreeBSD is doing great. And next project lined up: port my dwm to dwl and fresh it up. On FreeBSD at first.
They have really the best Wayland stack out there, especially with window managers.
#freebsd

@… 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.

Another notch on the guitar. If you'd ever wanted to run the River window manager I've got you covered.
River’s window management style on Wayland is quite similar to dwm, xmonad, and other classic dynamic tiling X11 window managers. Windows are automatically arranged in a tiled layout and shifted around as windows are opened/closed.
Dots and setup are available on codeberg.org/thesaigoneer!
