@comments-feedback Is it intended that I can't browse threads without being logged in? I keep getting prompted to register and log in, which I'd prefer not to do, since it's federated and I already have this account.

Welcome to anyone running or interested in running Tribblix!
Yes, it's a hobby project, but it's built to my standards which I hope are good enough to make it useful.
It would be nice to know what sorts of things people might be using Tribblix for, and what other people consider its strengths and weaknesses. (After all, it's perfect for me, by definition.)

https://billboard.bsd.cafe/topic/35a00513-4ebe-4a50-b509-0588e1475ee5/sylve-is-now-in-the-freebsd-ports-tree/6 (post 6) originated as a post in BSD Cafe.
The original post includes an angle bracket-enclosed link to another post of mine in the Cafe.
When I first clicked the link, in Billboard, it failed to show the linked post. I can't recall exactly what appeared (sorry) but it was probably between 11:40 and 11:45 UTC; within the last fifteen minutes. IIRC the response was as if the linked post does not exist.
A second attempt succeeded.
Additional details to follow.

This is the sandbox. Post, reply, format, break things - nobody will judge you here.
Use this category to test federation, try out formatting, see how your Fediverse account interacts with the Billboard, or just press buttons to see what happens.
Nothing here is permanent, nothing here is serious, and if something catches fire, that's kind of the point.
Have fun. Just don't test in production.

Some of us started on machines where 640K was more than enough.
This is the space for vintage hardware, classic operating systems, old-school Unix, CP/M, Amiga, Commodore, early PCs, and anything that makes you feel nostalgic - or curious about how we got here.
Show off your collection, share a restoration project, ask for help getting that old VAX to boot, or just tell us about the first computer you ever touched.
Old hardware never dies. It just waits for someone who still cares.

Kubuntu 26.04 Beta — Resolute Raccoon | Kubuntu
Seeing Firefox 148 (from Snap Store) raised an eyebrow, because I already have 149.0 (the official Debian package).
I booted the beta from an old, slow USB memory stick. Live, without upgrading. It has Firefox 149
First impressions:
- no regression
- an existing issue with graphics is not fixed.
There's probably a bug report for the graphics issue. I can't remember where I discussed it, I didn't want to spend too much time. The bug is an annoyance, but my time will be better spent getting a new computer …

A new section just appeared on the Billboard.
Some of us got into this world through a Commodore 64, a 386, an Amiga, or a terminal that weighed more than we did. Those machines deserve a corner of their own.
RetroComputing is now open - for vintage hardware, classic operating systems, restoration projects, and the stories behind the machines that made us who we are.
Head over, introduce your oldest working machine, and let's see what's still running out there.

Grab a drink, take a seat, and relax.
This is the off-topic corner of the BSD Cafe Billboard.
Introductions, random thoughts, tech tangents, music recommendations, photography, mechanical keyboards, or whatever else is on your mind - it all belongs here.
The only rule: be kind to each other.
We're pro, not against. Supporters, not haters. Builders, not destroyers.The Lounge is meant to feel like the best part of a conference - the hallway track, the dinner after the talks, the conversation that starts with "so what do you actually run at home?"
Say hi. We'd love to know who's sitting at the table.

Just testing local account creation and deletion to see how it compares to posting from my snac account.
Well this hasn't shown up on my snac server even though I'm following @openbsd@billboard.bsd.cafe ??
Reported to @stefano as it might be an issue ?

The house blend of the BSD world - versatile, reliable, and everywhere.
This is the place to discuss FreeBSD in all its forms: ports and packages, ZFS, jails, bhyve, networking, Bastille, hardware compatibility, or just sharing your setup.
Whether you're running FreeBSD on a Raspberry Pi or a production cluster, you belong here.
New to FreeBSD? Don't hesitate to ask.
There's always someone at the counter who's been through it before.

Yes, there's a Linux section at the BSD Cafe. We are inclusive!
Many of us work with Linux alongside BSD in production, at home, or both.
This is the place to discuss Linux distributions, tools, kernel news, or anything Linux-related - especially if you're coming from Linux and curious about BSD, or running both.
The coffee is the same, the conversation is good, and the door is always open.
