Servo 0.0.4 Browser Engine Released & Finally Supporting Multiple Windows - https://www.phoronix.com/news/Servo-0.0.4

Most UNIX people know the bash(1) fork bomb :(){:|:&} code. If you want to check the graphical equivalent then try this one :) FreeBSD # pkg install -y mesa-demos FreeBSD # pkg info -l mesa-demos | grep /bin | while read I; do ${I} & done Not really fork bomb - just 300+ :)

Fortunately 'problem' will remain only in Plasma login manager and not KDE project. Neal Gompa that leads development of Fedora KDE clarified the situation here: - social.gompa.me/@neal/115936... - social.gompa.me/@neal/115939... From the bad news ... KDE/Plasma will still dump X11 support.

Personally, I've gone years avoiding Systemd for pragmatic reasons after trying it. There are more informative and excellent sites that document Systemd's shortcomings. Notable among these is without-systemd.org/wiki/index_p... 2/

Don't say we didn't warn. github.com/KDE/plasma-l...

KDE removed FreeBSD support from Plasma login manager stating that KDE/Plasma relies systemd(1)/logind(1) Linux daemons. FreeBSD should not waste time to work on adding KDE/Plasma desktop install button in bsdinstall(8) installer. Use MATE/XFCE instead. github.com/KDE/plasma-l...

Side loading my ass ... this is just software installation on MY hardware. Fuck off google.

Look how much good the @xlibredev.bsky.social X11 fork project did. Now suddenly Xorg has new releases ...

Overlay(s) are great feature of Poudriere on FreeBSD. Recently @oshogbovx proposed patches to add Overlay(s) to 'poudriere jail' command - which is needed and useful. But its 'silence' since initial interest ... that can discourage a lot. github.com/freebsd/poud...

Hello, I'm aware the content of the playlists has been sucking lately so I'm working on a new Python script to filter the content and post only videos in English or related to #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, etc.This is a new playlist example: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

This video [1] is perfect example why I always only use FullHD screens and omit any 4K panels like hell. With 1920x1080 I have everything natively without any problems. No scaling issues madness. Fortunately @XLibreDev fixes some of these issues. [1] youtu.be/lnde7rB2xro

If we haven't said it yet: Happy New Year!

We look forward to further progress with #XLibre this year. One of our resolutions is to involve the community more closely with joint efforts to, e.g., clean up the code base. If you've always wanted to contribute to #FOSS, that could be your chance. Specific announcements will follow.

@freebsdfoundation.bsky.social @freebsd.bsky.social That is another topic to that needs addressing ... passing SINGLE USB PORT into Bhyve VM ... not entire controller. When I had ThinkPad W520/T520 from 2011 (15 years old now) I had the luxury of having at least TWO independent USB controllers.
