FreeBSD 15: Why You’ll Want It

Following this week’s 15.0 release, we took a closer look at the features that stand out in the new version.

Key updates include a production-ready pkgbase system for more flexible installations and upgrades, enhancements to desktop and laptop usability, significant performance gains in AWS, and refinements to FreeBSD’s privilege and security model.

This post will not appear in the timeline of most Pixelfed users.

Because considered at "not pretty enough" for them (despite the great illustration by @davidrevoy )

It worth asking the question:

Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on?

ploum.net/2025-12-04-pixelfed-

I think you are making a correct observation here:

  • You post something, you expect your followers to see it.
  • Fediverse insiders know that the above statements has caveats. Pixelfed only shows your post if it contains an image. Mastodon doesn't show your object if it is of type Place or Recipe.

From a technical standpoint: This is expected. From a user perspective, it's weird. A lot of work will be needed to get the Fediverse to be more user friendly here.

I do not know what the exact solution would be. Parts of it would certainly be being able to determine if an application can parse something. FEP-67ff: FEDERATION.md being adopted by pixelfed could be a first step towards it. In particular, if somebody would implement my plan to parse all these files.

I’ve got my problems with JavaScript, and its creator, but it’s quite fundamental to a lot of what I do and a lot of what everyone does in my industry and beyond. And it’s pretty good, these days. Thanks for a big chunk of my career, JavaScript and those who make it. Here’s to the next 30 years.

뭔가 이상하고 불길하다는 생각을 계속 했는데 대기업, 빅테크, 일부 자본/기술엘리트들이 컴퓨터 연산 자원, 컴퓨터 저장 자원(램, 스토리지), 지식과 그 아카이브&인터페이스(AI챗봇)를 독점하는 사이버펑크적 디스토피아였다. 공각기동대, 낙원추방, 사이버펑크 2077, 뭐 그런 종류.

Is this...is this my new niche on Fedi?

Licksport?

The Lockpicking Strumpet?

Mx. Mxyzlpks? (someone thought that was funny)

Attached: 1 video #LearnLockpickingWithAlice lesson 4: learning locks. I often see new lockpickers diving into a lock cold, then getting discouraged when a lock won't pop for them. Or, they manage to get lucky once in a while, but it feels like lightning—exciting, but random and uncontrollable. So today I'm going to talk about getting to know your lock—I'm going to talk about foreplay. (y'all went there first, I'm just leaning into it 😋) When you get consent to touch a new lock, your first date should be about feeling it out. What brand and model is it? Are you familiar with their quirks? Have you been around the lock a few times with this type before, or is this uncharted territory? Is the lock in good shape? Is it clean and oiled, rusty and gritty? Does it feel classy and expensive or is it cheap and sloppy? Is it crisp and new, or has it seen some action? Alright, first base time. Grab a tool (something relatively straight, like the back of a half-diamond or a probe) and slide it in. Get all up in those pins and then slowly pull out. How many pins did you count? How did each one feel as it dropped down? How deep was the keyway? Where were the pins located and how were they spaced? Were they narrow little pins like American locks use, or thicker, harder pins like an ABUS? Do this a few times and picture the inside of the lock as you do. Second base. Find a turning tool with a nice fit and slip it in. Rest your finger on the edge of the tool and press a little. How much tension is required to move the core? Is it sloppy, smooth, gritty? How far does it turn before the first pins bind? How much spring is there to it? Is your turning tool slipping around, or do you feel like you're in control of the core? Get a feel for how much force is needed to counter the springiness—hint, it's less than you probably think. Third base. Slide your favorite pick all the way back into the keyway, then apply a little pressure to the turning tool. How much room do you have with both tools in there? Is it too tight? Work your way from the back to the front, feeling each pin with the tip of your pick. Which pin is binding? How much force do you need to move it? What does it feel like when it moves? How about when it sets into place? Did the core rotate a little? Can you feel it? Okay, now keep pushing. Feel that pin overset. What does that feel like? Did the core counter-rotate? Try releasing tension and trying a few more times. Springy, binding, pushing, set, overset, release. Now set that pin correctly and move to the next one that binds. Good job. Now you're ready to go all the way. Keep knocking those pins up. Try to remember the binding order and the state of each pin as you go. If you lose track of the steps and state, reset the lock and start over. Repeat until you know exactly what you're doing and *why* at each step. Don't fumble for an open right away. Be methodical. With practice, you'll be able to grab a new lock and size it up in a few seconds. And when it pops, you'll know it was because you're a fucking badass, not just someone who got lucky :gay_alice_shades:

What I'm listening to today: "Drummertime and Brainstep Jam 1", Tubbutec

YouTube account for a modular synth company posts a demo of their modules. Process-wise the most interesting thing here is a 808/Volca style performance sequencer/drum machine made with computer-keyboard keycaps and fit to the 1U space on an Intellijel. Musically the standout is some *really* freaky glide that turns some competent but standard acid into something really odd sounding.

What I'm listening to today: "Njalo Njalo", Nomisupasta featuring Rapsody and Madlib

Johannesburg singer makes some deeply satisfying funk in collaboration with diaspora members from LA and North Carolina, styles seamlessly integrated like hip hop is leaking backward into the 1970s. Immaculate scrongly bassline. "Njalo" is Zulu for "always" and "Njalo njalo" appears to mean "and so on…"

I believe this is an early release from an album landing early next year.
