Building a CI/CD with #Poudriere? Great idea. But what if your port has to rebuild main on every build, with no distfile checks getting in the way? #FreeBSD ports really do not want you to do this. Here is how I made it work anyway: oshogbo.com/blog/91/

They always say stay up to date and follow the latest version ... and ignoring this rule saves my FreeBSD desktop/laptop from BUMSRAKETE hole. ... but yes - I plan to migrate my main workplace to 15.1 and XLibre X11 soon.

With FreeBSD Day coming up tomorrow, we’re kicking off the celebration by looking back at the story behind one of its most iconic figures, the BSD Daemon, also known as Beastie. Dr. Marshall Kirk McKusick walks us through how this legendary figure got its name. Watch video: buff.ly/jVZQdrg

I know Apple users/consumers love to pay for things that are free in other ecosystems ... but $199? Really? :] Its about getting one (or two in PRO version) rubber eraser(s) for $1 to achieve the same xD

I have seen Omarchy Linux ... but for some reason I missed Omfreebdy FreeBSD based alternative. I personally use X11 and prefer it over Wayland - but I now know that Omfreebdy comes with X11 version as well. Great to see such option available. omfreebdy.dba.wtf #freebsd #x11 #omarchy #omfreebdy
