@dwarmstrong I love #zfsbootmenu but haven't quite got the hang of using boot environments with it. I find parts of the documentation a little opaque in places and I've been using #ZFS since it was #Solaris-only...

New post!
As we all go about our day we discover bits of wisdom that WOW! and YES! seem to be directed at you.
I like to put these bits together in a file for later review. Using the programs `fortune` and `cowsay` and `lolcat` I made a little shell script that runs at a console login or when a terminal window/tab is opened and outputs a colourful, random fortune from my custom collection.

Updated post!
I like to install `keychain` to manage my SSH keys. When logging in for the first time after boot, it prompts me for the passphrase to unlock my key, then will maintain a single `ssh-agent` process across multiple login sessions.
Added a note about setting up keychain to launch at login for the fish shell.

I added a note about switching the user shell from 'sh' to 'fish'.

@dwarmstrong That was a very inspiring distro. My personal distro #mimicOS draws a lot of inspiration from #KissLinux, and uses its package manager (somewhat modified).

Updated post!
Chimera Linux is a delightful community-driven distribution built from scratch that does things differently: `musl` instead of the typical `glibc` for C library, `dinit` over `systemd` for system init, and a userland derived from FreeBSD core tools.
I show the choices I make to create an encrypted, minimal system with "just enough" to provide a solid foundation to build upon further:

New blog post!
Using the Arch Linux installation image and working my way through the excellent installation guide, I show the choices I make to create an encrypted, minimal Linux system with “just enough” to provide a solid foundation to build upon further: whether that be setting up a desktop, laptop, or server:

@dwarmstrong that is nice. And thank you for pointing me to #31daysoffreebsd, it seems like another interesting story to read :-)
The new release is the good reason. Earlier this month, I prepared the USB stick with installer of #FreeBSD 14.2, and suddenly (from my point of view) on the next day I noticed lot of posts on #fediverse about new release of 14.3 and the most of them mentioned easy upgrade and good news about WiFi and #laptop improvements. So, new USB stick with 14.3 installer prepared and recently, it is already installed and waiting for more exploration of the system :-)

Day 29 of #31DaysOfFreeBSD :freebsd:
FreeBSD does not include a graphical user interface in its base system. This is how I install and set up the X Window System (X11) before installing my preferred window manager or desktop environment:

Day 28 of #31DaysOfFreeBSD :freebsd:
During the FreeBSD install on my Thinkpad, I chose to use ethernet for networking and it was configured successfully.
After first boot into the system, I manually configure the wireless adapter for an additional networking option. Finally, I combine the ethernet and wireless interfaces into a virtual interface to provide failover network capability should one of the interfaces become unavailable.

Day 27 of #31DaysOfFreeBSD :freebsd:
Use the `backlight(8)` and `mixer(8)` tools included with the base system to set screen brightness and control the sound card. I also create keyboard shortcuts for the commands in the (Openbox) window manager configuration.

Day 25 of #31DaysOfFreeBSD :freebsd:
When I installed FreeBSD on my Thinkpad, I enabled `powerd(8)` for power management features that would be especially useful on a laptop. However, for laptops using an Intel CPU, this utility has been superseded by the `hwpstate_intel(4)` driver.

Day 24 of #31DaysOfFreeBSD :freebsd:
Configure SSH and create the necessary SSH keys that will be used to secure access to remote devices.

Day 23 of #31DaysOfFreeBSD :freebsd:
I like to shorten the boot delay and customize the login with a different last login notification and a Daily Dose of Wisdom delivered courtesy of fortune(6) piped to cowsay(1).

Day 22 of #31DaysOfFreeBSD :freebsd:
After the first boot of my new FreeBSD installation, these are some extra steps I like to make right away to get a system off to a good start! :freebsd:
