  • FreeBSD and KDE Plasma generations

    I have one desktop machine, my daily-driver, which runs FreeBSD 13 – the latest supported version is 13.5 – and which I want to keep on KDE Plasma 5 (and all the rest of the last-gen KDE things). I do also want a modern KDE Plasma 6 desktop, but I’ll do that on a slightly newer machine. Here’s some notes-for-myself.

  • GPG Updates 2025

    Something of a yearly ritual, that of updating GPG (signing-)keys and pushing them to various places.

  • It goes to 6!

    FreeBSD ports update today:

  • EBN lives?

    Many years ago I was involved in software-quality research – the SQO-OSS project and things like that. That work begat the code-quality checking scripts that we in the KDE community called “the EBN”, or EnglishBreakfastNetwork. I was a tea-drinker then. The EBN stuff has been surpassed by Klazy and many other software-quality-checking tools. But the EBN domain carries on. Although I haven’t got anything to put on it I just renewed the domain again for two years – just in case.
