@peteorrall Thanks.I try to keep my articles up-to-date - and especially that one - and to be honest all of its parts are still valid.

Also testing some in-flight patches on an Intel Panther Lake system (Minisforum M2). Things are generally working well, except for the RTL8125-based 2.5GbE ports.

@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

@pertho I know mod_remoteip, but I do not intent to load one more module as a workaround that would only treat a symptom. I want to get an explanation and treat the root-cause.

FreeBSD 15 + CDE is probably the closest you can get to sitting in front of a high-end UNIX workstation without owning a time machine.Running Common Desktop Environment in 2026 feels strangely refreshing. No blur effects, no Electron, no notifications fighting for attention, No ai written code, just Motif, terminals, man pages, and a desktop paradigm that was already mature before I was born.Current setup: • FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE • CDE • dtwm • bhyve • Motif everywhereToday’s activity: reading bhyve(4) manuals and pretending I'm a UNIX admin in 1996.#FreeBSD #BSD #CDE #Unix #Motif #bhyve #OpenSource #UnixPorn #RetroComputing #FOSS

The redditor wrote: … Thank you, Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds, for this freedom and cooperation. … grahamperrin said: some suspicion that AI was involved Twisting the original statement, I asked Reddit (in a private browsing window): Do Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds cooperate with each other? Sourced from thirteen subreddits, Reddit's AI-generated answers began: Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds do not actively cooperate; their relationship is often characterized by ideological differences rather than direct collaboration. While both are foundational figures in free and open-source software, their distinct philosophies and approaches have led to a separation in their work. …

@vermaden as you mentioned first part of me trying to revive my Blackbird, it would be nice to put the conclusion in VN as well: https://vivapowerpc.eu/20260608-1200_How_to_revive_a_mockingbird

@Tionisla@mastodon.bsd.cafe whoa, dual-booting BSDs! 🤩🤯

@grahamperrin #AI hashtag here means the project was revived with a dose of vibe coding? Fwiw, ravynOS also are using AI in the process of reverse-engineering Darwin....

I added another step (currently 33) for misc/compat14x.

FreeBSD boot loadersThe loader should be upgraded before a root-on-ZFS pool is upgraded. For a major upgrade of the OS – with or without an upgrade of the pool: should the loader be upgraded before first boot of the upgraded kernel?#FreeBSD #upgrade #boot

@NebulaTide free space. Remember to occasionally clear the package cache. Long ago (much more than a year) I learnt the hard way with poudriere jails. I probably never reported the issue, but (at a glance) it might have been what was reported last month: pkgbase pkg cache lacks cleaning · Issue #1343 · freebsd/poudriere — <https://github.com/freebsd/poudriere/issues/1343>#FreeBSD #pkgbase #jails Cc @ianthetechie

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/
