Pilot compiling with #poudriere for #FreeBSD #ports went well! It did seem a bit complicated to configure at first but sing ports made easy with #poudriere and #jail. It was so simple and straightforward to actually run #poudriere that I secretly thought it took out all the fun of seeing scrolling screens of compling! #BSD #Unix #UseBSD #RunBSD #FOSS

@stefano thank you for writing this, so relatable. Like a non BSD friend at my birthday party once said "your BSD friends are so nice it's almost too good to be true". Looking forward to meet you in person at #eurobsdcon Zagreb! #runbsd

Thanks to the release of 14.3, I tried reinstalling #FreeBSD on my mini-PC.
The Wi-Fi is detected EDIT: and it works. Wayland/Plasma works but has two bugs: Ctrl+C closes the session when launched from SDDM, and right-clicking the desktop crashes KWin. It runs correctly on X11.

Now I need to figure out suspend-to-RAM. After watching Aymeric Wibo's presentation, I'm curious to try his branch. He explained how to do it in the slides, but I'll need to find the instructions.

Thanks to all our customers who run their own #selfhosting #NetBSD VMs with us for helping with this migration. Our #FreeBSD and #OpenBSD VMs were already running HVM. Yes, we #RunBSD and provide hosting in our UK datacentres (also #Windows and #Linux as required)

Hey fedi friends, what are the differences in USES and config options listed at #freshports for a #FreeBSD #port? I am familiar with USE in #Gentoo #Linux, which seem to be the config options here? For #Gentoo it is very common to use different USE settings for a packages, but for #FreeBSD I read from porter's handbook there are not many USE items and they looked different from the term in #Gentoo. I am still trying to wrap my head around what is happening that whenever I try to build a port, like #vim or #git in tiny flavors, I constantly noticed #Perl #Bash #lua #Rust #Python and all other seemingly unrelated stuff get pulled in. #BSD #RunBSD #Unix #FOSS

Here I go again... writing stuff that's quite niche very few people will read it!

Now after successfully building and loading drm-61-kmod for #FreeBSD using #ports, I am building the #xorg mininal port. Thanks all fedi friends for your help. #BSD #Unix #RunBSD #UseBSD #FOSS

Added new screenshots of my #MaomaoWM setup to the about section on my Git repo. The bottom image is of the overview function. #FreeBSD #RunBSD #TilingWindowManager #Wayland

Time to try out #NetBSD on the Pi2! Getting some guidance from a little helper for it. #RunBSD #CatsOfMastodon

Decided that I'm going to stick with #MaomaoWM as my #Wayland window manager as I can do everything that I could in #RiverWM ( Tags not workspaces and per output ) plus I get some fancy animations and other stuff borrowed from other Wayland compositors like #DWL and #SwayWM like IPC control too.
The devs are really quick to add new feature requests too if useful.
Anyway I've started to push my configs and scripts to my Git repo and although they are working consider it a WIP. It will be updated quite often until I finally have everything just the way I like it. I will also update my Git repo's screenshots and links shortly too. #FreeBSD #RunBSD
