Recovering a Botched FreeBSD 14 Upgrade
Naïvely, I ran
freebsd-update -r 15.0-STABLE installin my regular FreeBSD desktop. That was a mistake. -
FreeBSD 14 and KDE
Huh, I started a blog post on November 11th, and then got distracted. What I was going to write was about KDE Plasma 6 on FreeBSD 14, how it does with Wayland, what kind of configuration surprises there are. And since then FreeBSD 15 has been released, which makes this title kind of moot, and I still need to write all the things down. The summary is short: with AMD graphics, KDE Plasma 6 Wayland is just fine for my workflow.

Alternative Timezone Naming in Calamares
Calamares is a Linux system installer. During installation, it asks the user where they are on the globe, in order to set the timezone correctly on the installed system. Calamares displays the nearest timezone after you click on a map. I would like to leverage that a little for social good (or at least a tiny bit of awareness).

Mnietballs, again
Some time back I posted a bran muffin recipe. That recipe uses eggs, and I received a comment by email, perhaps from Gregor S. They pointed out some things about the egg-milk-industrial complex and how I should avoid using eggs. That annoyed me a little, although it was written respectfully and factually. Anyway, I’ve given it some thought and experimentation, and here’s a vegan recipe for mnietballs (vaguely Dutch for “not meatballs”).

Laptop Linux Considerations
I have a laptop – a Framework 13, AMD CPU – which I received for the purpose of making KDE-on-FreeBSD good on it. For KDE Akademy Reasons, that laptop is covered in stickers: bicycle stickers, KDE, RUN BSD .. and it got three Linuxes installed on it next to FreeBSD. I mentioned that KDE Akademy is people, and I’d like to thank Doug (openSUSE), Neal (Fedora) and Harald (KDE Linux) for helping me get the bits in place. Here’s some brief notes about the resulting systems.
