    FreeBSD Upgrade from 14.1 to 15.0 Exploded

    That's a bug in freebsd-update that should've been fixed a while back. Try the workarounds here: https://euroquis.nl/freebsd/2025/12/09/freebsd-upgrade.html

    Solved Tint2 in the future

    Unfortunately tint2 has been unmaintained for some time now: https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/-/commit/f3aa2ef0c61838ce16a88733e4d31990c5b5cdf2 There were some forks when I last looked a couple of years ago. They seemed of questionable quality. Do recommend a similar lightweight bar if you find one.

    KDE Plasma Login Manager Won’t Support Systemd-Free Linux or BSD Systems

    Give them time. I'm sure it's coming.

    Other What's the go-to scripting language to learn for general purpose-scripting on freebsd?

    YAML is a perfect example of semantic whitespace gone wrong. There are so many links I could use here. My personal experience with it has been dismal. Yes, I've run into weird number-parsing bugs (you meant to give that one CPU? You just gave it 1,000.) Yes, I've spent hours chasing an...

    KDE Plasma Login Manager Won’t Support Systemd-Free Linux or BSD Systems

    That's all fun and games until Qt drops X11 support.

    KDE Plasma Login Manager Won’t Support Systemd-Free Linux or BSD Systems

    For now. How long can you simultaneously "lean more on systemd" but not require it?

    KDE Plasma Login Manager Won’t Support Systemd-Free Linux or BSD Systems

    I'm confused about their confusion. As astyle said elsewhere "Now this is rather unfortunate, esp. given that FreeBSD cooperated with KDE for nearly 25 years." I can't see how KDE can reasonably be included as an option at install time now. Any user choosing it has to hope that KDE doesn't...

    Not sure what happened but.....

    So true. Always had a few fallen soldiers when we had to power off everything in the lab for UPS maintenance.

    How strict are you about ssh host key checking?

    I'll admit I'm pretty sloppy about it at home. Fool's errand at work where everything is a short-lived container. I don't think we allow SSH at all anymore anyway.

    Roku and Raku are unfortunately completely unrelated. If you want to learn a truly obscure scripting language, look into Brightscript.

    why not language X

    I wrote about 2 lines of FORTRAN and immediately ran into the fact that the capitalization of your function parameters matters... That was enough for me.

    Thanksgiving - no donation this year

    I use it to talk to my kids, but refuse to give it out as a contact point for me. The fact is, it's a for-profit unicorn that's going to be bought by someone sooner or later. Your access to the platform, data, contact lists, etc. then becomes the property of someone else to do with what they...

    Shutdown -p now; Not Powering Off

    Anything in dmesg? That's a weird one. I guess going back to 14.3 is too much work. Do you have a spare drive you could use to test out 14.3?

    First time (trying) to create a port I need guidance

    Looks like the Rust stuff was removed recently? https://github.com/speedata/publisher/commit/e945157ac0133571123f7f75327fb82587f76053

    Thanksgiving - no donation this year

    You have the data. Look at slide 46 here: https://freebsdfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/FreeBSD-2025-Community-Survey-Report-Final.pdf The Forum is third most used. Discord, lumped together with other "Instant Msg" platforms is a distant 9th. Even if you only look at people who have...

    Solved Simple question about copying and permissions

    You can use touch test to create an empty file in the current directory. See touch.

    Python We have Python 3.12 already in FreeBSD - how long it takes to build modules for it ?

    And the fallout from the disastrous deprecation of Python 2.x continues. Interesting that lang/tauthon is still in the tree despite being deprecated for "Us(ing the) Python 2.7 codebase". How can it not "use" the code base when it's a hard fork? Stinks of politics.

    BSD family of licenses and consumer rights

    Software laws in Brazil were pretty wacky back in the day. That's why the Lua programming language exists, there were onerous burdens on "importing" software not developed in Brazil. However, even Lua is MIT-licensed nowadays.

    Starlink breaks ssh, scp, pkg update

    The AI slop only mentions the ServerAlive* options. It is silent on TCPKeepAlive which seems more relevant to your problem. Consult the ssh_config man page.
