@ptribble thank you for the reply. My error re nfs... probably getting Tribblix confused with Open/NetBSD. The emcryption would be interesting. Perhaps even if it was only data partitions encrypted for now and auto unlockable then root/FDE later. Not sure if #alpinelinux or #ChimeraLinux would be a useful starting point as both do native encrypted zfs.

@hypostase The final version of the fix is now accepted and landed onto both main (aka latest) and 2026Q2. https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=a92d927574fca313453ae266f4e78517eb406a33 https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?h=2026Q2&id=1c9a29edad562f0650166239fba46dd8b2cc1fdd

No response to https://forums.theregister.com/forum/all/2026/04/22/anthropic_mythos_hype_nothingburger/#c_5266893 after five days (and no correction to the article); that's disappointing. I'll respectfully request a correction. I refrained from sending an email, because @bigsneakyduck had already done so (mentioned in Reddit: "… I've tried reducing this to the bare minimum and sent an email to corrections at theregister dot com.").

@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

@grahamperrin Not sure what you mean, but it's OK.

@ruben@kedara.social said: Sysadmin tasks will be performed (remotely) Maybe difficult with OpenZFS-encrypted root-on-ZFS. Will your mom be prepared to enter the passphrase when a task requires a restart of the OS?

@grahamperrin That was poorly written. Better said that a whole lot of money is being dumped into marketing these product before they are fully baked.

@naltun Bumbling along it is!

@grahamperrin said: I assumed, wrongly, Certainly: wrongly and I'd even go so far as to say: nothing to do with!

Thank you!

@amigagpu hey, this autocompletion is thought-provoking: [image: 1775376564781-83e19d9c-1241-4634-957b-6c4b724b0233-image.jpeg] paste Radio_Azureus@ioc.exchange prepend with @ neither result is @radio_azureus@ioc.exchange – observed whilst drafting https://billboard.bsd.cafe/post/143.

One thing about Tribblix on SPARC is that it tracks x86 pretty closely, but actual releases come at different times. What this means right now is that while Tribblix on x86 is effectively in freeze while I work through a bunch of breaking changes, many of those changes are now available on SPARC. While this may seem a bit odd, the reality is that not all the breaking changes apply to SPARC at all (I'm not planning to update perl or gcc there, even though I want to, because the updates won't even build properly), and even those that do are less appropriate (such as desktop updates like bumping the Xfce version). The one visible change that people might see is the python switch from 3.12 to 3.13.

@carson@social.chittom.family great. Let me know if you find any problems!

@gta1998 We have an issue with a realtek device and vnet/bridges starting with FreeBSD 14.4, maybe try ifconfig re0 -txcsum -rxcsumand see if this helps.
