    Using FreeBSD as Desktop OS

    Perhaps these are BIOS partitions/BSD slices. Since you have 2 disks, one must have 4 partitions and the other 3. Some may staunchly disagree, but IMHO ZFS is overkill for most people. And no, I don't like FreeBSD because of ZFS; in fact I've never used ZFS.

    Solved microsoft excel like program for xfce?

    Because managing windows is all that a window manager does. You can have a GTK+-based WM like x11-wm/xfce4-wm and still run a Qt5-based graphics/krita and a Qt4-based audio/lmms and a Motif-based graphics/xpdf3. The only drawback being that you lose a bit of memory since your applications don't...

    Solved When will be good time to install FreeBSD-12?

    Some. The later Prescott ones (circa 2005) and above. And some had it implemented but not enabled. I have one from early 2002 that has no 64-bit.

    Playing TV recordings

    Exactly. What do you mean? multimedia/mpv is (mostly) a command-line software. The only graphical interface it has is for playing videos (i.e. video controls).

    How to install pkg offline?

    Welcome on board! Yes, ports-mgmt/pkg needs to be bootstrapped. You'll have to do so manually. You can find the instructions on the wiki. It's near the end of the primer. Once that is done, all packages can be installed locally using pkg add ./package.txz. Of course, for packages that...

    Music…

    I accidentally went back to the first page and after listening to this and to some of the related videos suggested by YouTube such as Cherouvim and Darma, I couldn't help but notice the strong similarity this Greek uplifting trance has with Israeli psytrance like Holymen, Yahel, Eyal Barkan or...

    Solved Sudden mouse movement change page in Web browsers

    Interference, maybe? Is the rodent wireless or wired? Make sure you have no magnets around, nothing messing with the tail.

    Standard INI parser

    +1 for Python. Not only is it fairly easy to implement (ideally, as a dictionary), but Python 3 even provides a module (1, 2) just for that purpose.

    Assembly programming doc for amd64

    lang/fasm provides macros that automate this process, so behind the scenes it's doing all the dirty work of pushing/poping parameters in the right order, filling registers appropriately, etc.

    Firefox is leaking memory on my system

    You haven't mentionned what version of FreeBSD you're using? Is it up to date (latest patch level)? Unless something is seriously messed up, FreeBSD rarely needs reinstalling. Have you tried other browsers? Even if you don't intend to use them in the long-term, do install a few others, try...
