  Pages such as can not be reached through the hamburger. When the hamburger menu is forced: the Community submenu can not load the Community page. Other submenu headings may be similarly bugged. Without the hamburger, with Community as a menu (not a submenu): a click on the menu item for Community does work. @thismarkp@mastodon.social sorry for not noticing this sooner. Cc @pauamma@mstdn.social only because I vaguely remember you commenting about top level menu behaviours long ago (maybe...

  RE: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin/117164400884003008 @peachfiend@mastodon.sdf.org thanks for replying. I understand that it's disheartening but it's largely (or ultimately) for the users of AI to behave responsibly. Quoted below: one of a number of perceptibly anti-AI posts that I have made in recent months. Whilst drafting this post in the left-hand column of Mastodon, there appeared in the second column yet another post along the lines of "no responsible use of LLMs&q...

  Jails, Not Containers: FreeBSD Isolation Done Right – Umair Khurshid | Klara Systems Containers play a major role in modern infrastructure, but they are not the right answer for every workload. This article explores how FreeBSD jails provide purpose-built isolation, predictable security boundaries, and deep ZFS integration—making them ideal infrastructure-grade services where stability is essential. … Via | #FreeBSD #jails #Linux #containers

  The FreeBSD Project home page no longer has a link to FAQ. The main Documentation menu includes <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/fdp-primer/>, which very few people will want.

  @alfonsosiciliano@mastodon.bsd.cafe many months ago, I might have mentioned to you a 2011 MacBookPro8,3 of the type that is bugged at . AMD + Intel graphics. I no longer have that old Mac. We do have – at the office – a circa 2016 MacBook Pro 2.5GHz that should have been written off months ago. I hoarded it for test purposes, it might be good for . Model identifier not yet known, I'll probably find it next week.

  @alfonsosiciliano@mastodon.bsd.cafe black screen at ttyv8 after login with SDDM, and no response to Alt-F2 (i.e. I can not use KRunner to run 'plasmashell --replace'). Pictured: VirtualBox after switching from ttyv1 back to ttyv8. I ran two commands at ttyv1: tail /var/log/messages service dbus status Re: , this was with a run of the script before first boot of the installed system. I'll retry the same ISO with a run of the script after first boot.

  @markmcb@mas.to @thismarkp@mastodon.social Something's subtly missing from the front page. We see four aspects of the OS, but (unless I'm missing something) no catchy overview. A keyword with which very few people argue: ― cohesion. Development of FreeBSD is not uniquely cohesive, however IMHO it is a very strong selling point. Toying with two chunks from the Foundation's description of FreeBSD, in no particular order: ― secure, stable, high-performance, modern, community-go...
