    06/30 ⇒ Did VictoriaLogs miss any logs during the reboot? Yesterday, I modified r730-01 by Running pkgbasify on FreeBSD 15.0 – as a consequence, my log collecting jail was offline. Did it miss any logs? https://dan.langille.org/2026/06/30/did-victorialogs-miss-any-logs-during-the-reboot/

    @lproven also: https://github.com/FreeBSDFoundation/proj-laptop/issues/28― the linked 'KDE with Wayland' document puts KDE in context (with Xfce and others). It's very likely that issue 28, or the linked document, has been in conversation before … I don't expect things such as these to be imprinted upon people's memories Cc @dexter @alfonsosiciliano @grahamperrin@billboard.bsd.cafe

    This is my FreeBSD music collection. It consists of songs inspired by FreeBSD releases, experiments, and desktop and server experiences that have become part of everyday life. It was built using Suno AI and then tweaked and polished each one. https://interfacecraft.online/blog/2026/freebsd-music-collection/

    Since it is schedule for a June 16 release (more or less), I am going to wait till then to give it a whirl with my test NUC before going on to my Framework 13A. Omfreebdy looks like it will set up most of the stuff I wanted, so let's see what happens.
