@jbz It would help if #FreeBSD developers would quit using Macs and only run all of their systems on FreeBSD-current on bare metal permanently, no VM installations.

@dgar
This comment is erasing a lot of the work done by people from other countries on open source operating systems.

FreeBSD may be USA based, but from a quick sampling of what I can quickly get from https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/astro/xearth/files/freebsd.committers.markers, which has 190 entries (out of 307 who have commit access to doc, ports, and/or src), only 49 are based in the US, so almost there quarters are outside the USA. (Yes, this doesn't take into account the amount of work each committee does.)

Why do I run FreeBSD for my home servers.
—Mathieu Aumont

｢ TLDR : the main problem is SYSTEMD, the secondary problem is the stacking of abstraction layers docker / kubersomething most of the time used of unknown reasons “just because it's modern” ｣

Another one in the BSD world has been released. Vermaden LVN

Now Go, read and Learn

https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2025/04/07/valuable-news-2025-04-07/

The screencap shows a screenshot of a mobile version of vermaden website. The background is black, and the text is in white, making it easy to read. At the top of the screen, there is a status bar displaying the time as 14:10, a Wi-Fi icon, a battery level of 90%, and signal strength indicators. Below the status bar, the text reads:

"The Valuable News weekly series is dedicated to provide summary about news, articles and other interesting stuff mostly but not always related to the UNIX/BSD/Linux systems. Whenever I stumble upon something worth mentioning on the Internet I just put it here.

Today the amount of information that we get using various information streams is at massive overload. Thus one needs to focus only on what is important without the need to grep(1) the Internet everyday. Hence the idea of providing such information 'bulk' as I already do that grep(1).

The Usual Suspects section at the end is permanent and have links to other sites with interesting UNIX/BSD/Linux news.

Past releases are available at the dedicated NEWS page."

The text is formatted in a simple, straightforward manner, with each paragraph clearly separated. The word "NEWS" is highlighted in blue, indicating a clickable link. The overall layout is clean and easy to read, with a focus on providing information about a weekly series related to UNIX/BSD/Linux systems.

I really loved this blog post — it perfectly sums up what I've believed for years: don't overcomplicate things.

that is how do it. what about you? sudo -i? sudo -s? su -? gksudo? runuser? pkexec? See https://www.cyberciti.biz/open-source/command-line-hacks/linux-run-command-as-different-user/ for more on those commands.

Linux meme: Winnie the Pooh prefers sudo -i over repeatedly using sudo.

@sgharms Steven Harms published a blog post series on setting up a distraction free laptop environment based on FreeBSD, with well thought out motivations and detailed steps. I'm glad Medley Interlisp is among the core applications he installed and works well.
