       Ports or packages? This is the question….Earlier today I posted about my issue with FreeBSD and the “black” virtual console after updating the packages. This raises the question whether it’s better to use ports instead of packages. When I started with FreeBSD in the early days, I always used ports, but I also remember endless compilation orgies which often ended with a compilation error or broken ports.In contrast packages are easy to use, quickly installed and updated. But they sometimes bring stuff to your computer you don’t need or want, like pulse audio coming with Firefox installation. So I wonder if it might be better to use ports instead of packages, even though it’s time consuming. #FreebsdWhat’s your choice?

       @GrapheneOS It’s a shame. But for me GrapheneOS is the only OS I would trust on smartphone. And everyone who has been diving a little deeper into the topic should know that there are no real other options that can be compared regarding privacy and security.

       @FediTips Thank you for sharing these links. @_elena Tje video is great! We need advocacy for the Fediverse.I was wondering how it would be if we had also something like a federated LinkedIn. No commercial interests, no influencers craving for attention, no vain self promotion… Just people connecting to each other. But maybe that’s what we already have with mastodon 🤔

       @Kierkegaanks @Tutanota Fortunately we are free to choose what OS we are using. There is Linux, there are the BSDs, there is GrapheneOS. So the choice is ours whether we want Freedom or total control.

       @Tutanota @GrapheneOS @PaintedDurian I would say that even though GrapheneOS requires hardware made by Google, it can be called „degoogled“. Why? Because the phone itself doesn’t use any Google services. It doesn’t phone home and it doesn’t share any data with Google. It’s just a bloody good piece of hardware and currently the best platform for a save and security mobile OS. But when you consider that degoogling isn’t just stop using any Google services and sharing data with them, but also not buying anything from Google, then it’s probably not degoogling.

       @mntmn What about wired headsets with an external DAC like the Campfire Audio Axion? Are they a better alternative?

       @mntmn So it's a pricy headphone with a cheap dongle... Mmmh...

       @mntmn I'm still looking for the perfect solution. I don't like Bluetooth headsets, mainly because they are not repairable and become electronic waste after a few years.
