@vikingkong Более чем — у меня уже есть комп на Intel Atom N2800 (2 ядра, 1866 MHz), с корпусом-радиатором и с 2 Gb RAM — и он успешно работает домашним сервером. К сожалению, у него остался всего один свободный SATA разъём, поэтому файлопомойка из него уже не получится.Сейчас там крутятся: named, несколько Nginx'ов, PostgreSQL, ntfy, zigbee2mqtt, RSS Bridge, фронтенд к онлайн-поисковикам 4get, фронтенд к онлайн-переводчикам Mozhi, Monit, Munin, WireGuard, домашний «Internet Archive» в виде ArchiveBox и ZFS с BorgBackup.Проблемы с нехваткой процессорных мощностей и памятью возникают, если пытаться запустить на нём что-нибудь развесистое, особенно на Java или Python. Или если софт на Rust пытаться скомпилировать прямо на устройстве.

@daltux @phoronix They made a crazy decision. Since the first installation of Linux (2005), I'm using the middle-click copy-paste bc it is easy and reduces the keypresses — I need just to select the text to copy and don't need to press any keychord.Hope, @librewolf and #IronFox will be able to revert and maintain this good old middle-click paste in the next releases.

@daltux Don't know about the Linux, but on #FreeBSD , if you have enabled mouse in tty console (moused daemon was started) — the middle-click copy-paste working as intended :-)CC @phoronix @librewolf

@agreeable_landfall @mms Huh, that's why I update with a few months lag…God bless these heroes, who stomp on the all bugs and write bugreports, while I'm waiting :-)

@sysedit @tfb +1 for AwesomeWM, because it is awesome :-) It has a rich enough library of widgets and other things, allowing to construct that user want — from usual WM with windows (default settings) to tiling WM.It is like StumpWM, but with some batteries included (or maybe I'm just suck with Common Lisp, lol).#AwesomeWM #WindowManager

Slightly updated my blogpost about X11 (again):1) Add subsection about xlock to the "Screensaver" section with sample configuration involving xlock and xautolock usage.2) Add subsection about how to properly start xdm — according to the documentation in the FreeBSD — the /etc/ttys should be changed, not the /etc/rc.conf.3) In the "GTK3" subsection wrote about hack from ArchWiki to force GTK3 not to conform X server settings (I starting to think that this is impossible), but to display fonts and UI elements at least the same size like other toolkits — when the HighDPI display is in use.4) Remove wrong line ("XTerm.vt100.selectToClipboard: true") from xterm X resources, so the mouse selection appears in the right clipboard and can be pasted with middle-click of mouse.https://eugene-andrienko.com/it/2025/07/24/x11-configuration-simple.html#fonts-size-tweak#Xserver #FreeBSD

@sendpaws @Alex LMAO, what is this?! :drgn_lol_nervous: Some kind of Apple mouse?BTW, after reading replies on the Phoronix forum I found that for ppl, who are using some Wayland-based DEs, the middle-click may seen as really broken bc devs failed to realize it properly, like in X11. Also I've heard about some GUI toolkits which messes with clipboard for Ctrl-C and clipboard for selection — so you never know that you will paste.Thankfully, in GTK 2 and 3, and in Qt 5 or 6 under X11 all copy-paste mechanisms working as intended, like always :drgn_aww:

Okay, folks — I've updated to the #FreeBSD 15.0 on my #Thinkpad X220 :drgn_wrench: The process itself completed without any problems — I used freebsd-update as usual. After first reboot (kernel updated, userspace not updated) I met the strange blinking of display, while the second "freebsd-update install" was running in the text console. But after update was fully completed, this "problem" was gone.After update, i915kms refused to load, system says that it is already loaded or compiled into the kernel. So, there are no graphical interface (possibly I should run "pkg update" or install drm-kmods from FreeBSD-kmods repository :drgn_think: )And there are no networking with iwm and Intel AC 8260 (possibly, it's time to finally switch to iwlwifi, lol)#FreeBSD #FreeBSD150RELEASE

Okay, after "pkg upgrade" I got my graphical drivers and Xorg back! :drgn_happy_blep: Sound works, GUI works.I was using the iwm driver for my Intel AC 8260 — and after update it stopped initialize and wlan0 interface couldn't be added to the my aggregate interface lagg0.Before, I was using iwm driver, not the iwlwifi, because the second could not be added to the lagg0 (it showed some cryptic error about SIOC80211). But after update tables turned — and my WiFi interface could be added to the aggregate interface with iwlwifi driver.Couldn't say that WiFi speeds dramatically changed in comparison with 14.3 — I see the same numbers as before in my experiments with iwlwifi in 14.3.Sadly, the problem with waking up laptop still exists — most of the times it works, but sometimes the CPU fan starts to spin for a second and after some time system powering off with message "CPU temperature is too high, shutting down" in the console :drgn_sigh: Possibly, something in my system is misconfigured and overloads the CPU after wake up.#FreeBSD #FreeBSD150RELEASE

@stefano > two elderly neighbors were circling the car, trying to open it. They wanted to free her. A criminal offense, but they didn't care. In their eyes, we were evil creatures for wanting "the capture" of that poor, defenseless animal.I never expected to saw the connection between Italian eldery persons and our Russian babushka-s (old women). :drgn_blush_giggle: Usually, when pack of homeless dogs attacks a hoomans at the city outskirts — there was always someone who will do anything to hide these dogs from any services and authorities, thinking that this is an "ecological action and protection of these poor animals from evil service workers" :drgn_bottom:

@radhitya I just wanted to try another #BSD to see how the things done in it and how much it differs from #FreeBSD The choice was between OpenBSD and #NetBSD — the second attracted me with wide range of supported devices and processor architectures. This is rare enough in the modern IT where the words "this is obsolete" and "this project wasn't updated for N days — looks like it is abandoned" became a new norm. So I decided to invest my time in NetBSD and setup it on my home server. With idea to use it in some old laptop in the future, in my mind.For me, it :netbsd: fits well — it works in machine with 2 Gb of RAM, it has all necessary things for selfhosting in the binary repositories (fail2ban, Nginx, PostgreSQL, etc) and it has the same spirit of good old Unix as FreeBSD has.

Looks like the maintainers of xlibre packages in the FreeBSD 15.0 did a great work :drgn_aww: I was able to switch from Xorg to XLibre with just two commands and without any issues, lol :drgn_aww: https://eugene-andrienko.com/it/2026/01/22/freebsd-15-0-xlibre.htmlWorth to mention, that any of my tricks described in the previous blogpost (https://eugene-andrienko.com/it/2025/07/24/x11-configuration-simple.html) are working too without any problems.#FreeBSD #XLibre

@kaixin @grahamperrin I have the same question :drgn_think_confused: . Since I read handbook for #FreeBSD 14.3 (chapter 4), I learnt that ports are:> is a set of Makefiles, patches, and description files. Each set of these files is used to compile and install an individual application on FreeBSD, and is called a port.As I understand, the package is made from port but not the port itself.@m0xEE

@m0xEE @iron_bug@friendica.ironbug.org @livefish > А что во FreeBSD по Bluetooth? Я пробовал его только в 14.3 — там с моим Bluetooth приёмником (встроенный в WiFi карту Intel AC 8260) был странный баг — приходилось запускать два раз демон для работы с блютусом. В первый раз он всегда падал, но в во второй раз всегда запускался и дальше работал. Не знаю с чем это было связано, но проблема, судя по форуму FreeBSD, была не у меня одного.Возможно, в FreeBSD 15.0 ситуация значительно улучшилась — я не проверял.Графических утилит для спаривания устройств (как Blueman) в портах нет.

Finally! It is cold enough outside to feel some cold at the morning in my lair :drgn_flat_blep: Looks like at summer, when +30ºC I'll be well done (or medium rare) :drgn_flat_nervous:

@freezr I want to join to this "non-understanding such comments". I'm using #GIMP for photo editing for a long time and it's interface is pretty good for it — frequently used tools have hotkeys, the same for main menu items. Most of the time I'm just using these hotkeys, not navigating through UI elements at all.Yes, GIMP was PITA a long time ago, then it had multi-window interface, which paired not so well with my obsession with tiling WMs :drgn_blush_giggle: . But since it got an one-window mode, the problems are gone.@GIMP @David
