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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EFG3BO6oVY Which installation method do you prefer when getting started with FreeBSD? #FreeBSD #OpenSource #BSD #Unix #TechTips

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. #FOSS #Unix #BSD #RunBSD

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: https://4c6e.xyz/code_notes.html (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. #st #suckless #unix #tmux #x11 #slackware

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? #linux #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing #amiga #commodore #homelab #unix #peertube #youtube
