  1. Besides tiling window managers (bspwm and i3wm), I have mostly used the Cinnamon desktop environment for the past five years.

    I am exploring MATE and XFCE more now. I used to use Ubuntu MATE, but haven't really "daily driven" XFCE.

    If you had to choose between the two, what would you prefer for a Linux or BSD desktop environment:

    #Linux #BSD #MATE #XFCE

  10. Yet, I am not a fan of this at all!!!! and Apple should have gone down this route!
    I am considering now to go full #linux or #bsd

    I will vigilantly follow this development.

  11. Amiga emulator: Denise 2.8

    Denise is a cycle-accurate, cross-platform emulator capable of emulating the C64 as well as the Amiga 500, 600 and 1000. New in version 2.8 are debuggers and disassemblers for the CPU, memory and custom chips, among other components, as well as support for hard drives larger than 4 GB.

  12. 📍 NetBSD 11.0-RC4 Comes As Hopefully The Last Release Candidate

    「 Following NetBSD 11.0-RC3 from early April, NetBSD developers hope NetBSD 11.0-RC4 is the last release candidate needed before officially releasing NetBSD 11.0. With it being a year and a half since the NetBSD 10.1 milestone and a year since NetBSD 11 was branched, this new BSD operating system update is ready to meet the world 」

  22. Ok, it’s been… a *while* since I used a BSD at any kind of depth, and probably 20 years since I attempted a desktop. So BSD-using friends:

    - what #BSD flavor would you recommend for a “comfortable with *nix, but doesn’t want to spend all their time on admin” user with a preference for KDE+Plasma?

    - I’m gonna try it as a VM guest first. Any special considerations?

    - What’s a good resource for checking hardware compatibility for laptops for that flavor of BSD?

    Boost for vis is OK.

    Grappig. Linux bekeken met archeologische ogen. We kijken naar de archeologische fundamenten die zijn gelegd in de tweede helft van de 20ste eeuw.

    Het geeft mij een lekker gevoel, maar ik weet niet precies waarom.

    Letop: dit artikel is voor fijnproevers met interesse in technische geschiedenis.

    Jonge Linux gebruikers zullen misschien verbaasd zijn over de herkomst van de dingen die ze dagelijks gebruiken.

    https://rldane.space/package-manager-tier-list.html

    1521 words

    Note: this is a very off-the-cuff tier list, using speed as the main qualifier, but the article explains exceptions to that as it goes on.

  33. New post: FreeBSD resource monitoring and accounting.

    A practical tour of the base-system toolkit for figuring out *what is actually using my server*: top, vmstat, systat, gstat, netstat/sockstat, procstat, pfctl, and per-jail attribution with kern.racct and rctl.

    No ports, no agents. Just FreeBSD.

  37. I've had FreeBSD 15.0 running on a laptop, now, for just over a month. FreeBSD is getting so good for daily use on a desktop that I am really close to making the move. And the work they are doing on the desktop is constantly improving.
