New to FreeBSD? Choosing the right installation image is a great place to start.
A member of the FreeBSD community recently shared a helpful walkthrough explaining the different FreeBSD installation images and when to use each one, including:
• DVD images
• Boot-only (network install)
• USB memory stick images
Watch the video:

Which installation method do you prefer when getting started with FreeBSD?

find is a language, not a flag parser.
Simple interface, deep internals — classic Unix design.

I’ve updated my nvi cheatsheet with practical examples for startup commands (-c) and classic vi ↔ Unix workflows (!, %!).
The page is a living document, and the RSS feed now tracks updates properly.

Really fascinating video series I should have known years ago! Had a lot of fun following the author! Learned a bunch about #Xorg #xinit #WM and #DE . The bit showing #evilwm was my favorite!

Following my #NetBSD 10.1 journey where my #ThinkPad T470s wake up from S3 suspend with dead keyboard and touchpad yet working WiFi, today I tried with the lastest 11.0 snapshot (20251220). All the same as before, unresponsive keyboard and touchpad, with working WiFi. However when I tried with a USB connected keyboard in default #CTWM session, the keyboard seemed to work after a while. At the same time, WiFi got disconnected so I lost ssh access and had to use power button for hard shutdown.
I think I will probably end my NetBSD journey at this point.

Scroll through a random video on YouTube about the #JWM window manager, seems interesting. Looked much like #OpenBox, both used #XML format config files. I was amazed to see the #Win95 style theme worked great simply config-ed from one file.

I revisited the 2018 LWN series “A look at terminal emulators” and re-read its notes on st.
Back then, the articles tested st 0.6/0.7 (Debian/Fedora) and 0.8.1 upstream, a fair snapshot of the time.
I went through the upstream st git history from 2018 → 2025 and mapped many of the issues discussed (Unicode/wide glyphs, input crashes, paste & tmux integration, redraw/latency, escape sequences) to the actual fixes that landed over the years.
No single “big patch”, just steady maintenance:
wide-glyph correctness, crash-class input fixes, bracketed paste terminfo, latency tuning, and modern escape/color handling.
I wrote a short technical note with links to the relevant commits:

(post: Revisiting ST after the 2018 LWN analysis)
I’ve been using st + tmux daily on Slackware and it’s been solid: minimal, fast, predictable — exactly what I want on X11.

I suppose I should post something introductory now that I'm on my own instance.
I'm a Linux lady who used to work in COBOL development and assorted legacy systems management gigs.
Nowadays I make videos and occasional blog posts about Linux and vintage/retro tech. Entirely supported by viewers like you (no sponsors as of writing). Links in bio.
Are we still doing hashtags?
