I aim to keep this to technical topics relating to bhyve and OpenZFS, and the occasional humor and Latvia.

Might you know what #FreeBSD kernel module, if one exists, will allow a USB connection to the mini USB console port on a Cisco 2960-X switch? None of the answers I found worked and I went and far as trying, ‘kldload /boot/kernel/u*’ without luck after trying several suggested ones.
And yes, it works perfectly on a Windows system, so I have every reason to believe that the port is functional.
Um whoops.
Here’s to my 17,014th toot anniversary.
I’m old enough to remember when a feed was 98% @tedu
You good tedu@?
@2something LOL. Try to get through Death of Stalin, Mate. Cheerio.
@fbfortune With shorthand ‘chflags -R 0’ which really should be more prominent.
This I learned: the #FreeBSD-toolchain base package is not a toolchain to build world and kernel with.
@dch Clang is building… I’ll share the list when successful or I hit too hard a wall.
I would know sooner on the Ampere but it’s tied up with the build option survey.

You have to rethink your gerrymandering when you’re only catering to 10 to 20 billionaires and have lost your previous base.
Clearly SOME good deeds go unpunished but knowing the exact ratio would sure be helpful for mental budgeting.
Will these AI contraptions clean gutters? That would be awesome. Thx
@wollman Oh?

Wait. They’re all inside stock trading deals? 😐
Not that you asked about… word processing in 2026 but:
🥚LibreOffice now speaks markdown! But it strips out comments, as there isn’t a standard
🥚Word does not yet speak markdown, but does support ODT files
🥚Google Docs can now export markdown and makes comments into footnotes
🥚LibreOffice supports password-protected ODT files, but nothing else reads them
🥚Password-protected .docx files are supported by LibreOffice and Google Docs either offers “Preview” or strips the encryption for editing, while TextEdit shows AES encryption noise
🥚BBEdit can open .docx files, though they are not exactly user-friendly
🥚Collabora and OnlyOffice (Sveiki!) reportedly support encrypted .docx files
(I rarely use file-level encryption but it has its place and readability is important)
🥚Word mail merge is very broken while LibreOffice’s worked quite well (used for the BSDCan 2025 badges)
🥚I hope the spreadsheets aren’t making up numbers and I fear the interoperability of presentations

😐It’s 2026 and I still don’t know how best to sit down and make a to do list that is available on my phone and desktop.
