@neil Shiori is another excellent alternative to Wallabag - very easy to self host. https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori

PSA for anyone trying to remove a screw with a stripped head, these pliers are worth their weight in gold (details in alt text).Have been trying to help remove a screw in a tap head for my parents for days. It was stuck fast with limescale, and they had stripped the head. Tried those extractor drill bits (failed miserably), drilling out the screw (slow progress) then accidentally stumbled upon these.1 minute with these and it was out. I never knew these existed. Hope it helps others. #diy

Sometimes the chance alignments of toots in my timeline changes the interpretation dramatically!I rapidly went from being pleased for @davep to being concerned for his well-being and safety thanks to @catsalad 😂

Something is afoot! A new project is underway, and I have a lot of learning to do! #FreeBSD

Had a play with #FreeBSD in live mode from a USB stick on an older laptop tonight just to see if the hardware was supported.Boy am I out of practice at configuring stuff on the command line! I've become spoilt by GUIs in recent years.Didn't help with the bug in 15.0 where the WiFi firmware file was incorrectly named and couldn't be loaded for the Intel 8260. Got there eventually, but it seemed to be very slow with iwlwifi. More experimentation required!

@justine I was originally planning to run TrueNAS Core, then when that was deprecated I looked at Zvault, but that still hadn't reached a stable release yet.Eventually decided that for my needs pure FreeBSD would be better, and I could just install Sylve if I found I wanted a nice frontend.One day I will actually find the time to complete the setup and get it operational

@kaixin seems like it's a fairly common network card. Shame it slipped through the RC testing, but then again it's forced me to learn more about interface devices and firmware in FreeBSD!

@kaixin oh interesting, I hadn't realised realised there was such a fundamental change. I'm jumping straight in at 15.I guess it's good in some ways as long as everything works, but there is always the chance of that catch 22 situation you mentioned.

@lfa @evgandr @rl_dane @kaixin my 8260 seems to have a stable connection when using iwlwifi, but it maxes out at about 14Mb/s which is frustrating. Not tried it with iwm yet (still need to fix the firmware file issue).What sort of speeds do you get on 14.3 out of interest?

Cold, wet and grey outside, so bringing a bit of Spring inside by cracking open a brand new tea cake! @tea
