New Calamares Languages
Calamares is a Linux system installer used by a wide range of distro’s. It is in “community maintenance” mode, which means it depends on downstream code submissions and careful bug reports. Sometimes I have time to work on it, outside of any particular distro. It would be correct to say it is “slow going”. But that doesn’t mean there are no changes! Just this week a new language was requested, Luganda, bringing the total to 79. Not all of the languages have enough coverage to be included in the language drop-down, but all of them have translators working on bringing the installer to their locale. Welcome!

StarFive VisionFive v2 and FreeBSD
This week I powered up the StarFive VisionFive v2 board that I have. I figured I would give FreeBSD another whirl on it, in the vague hope that RISC-V boards are a more cohesive family than ARM boards were five years ago. tl;dr: I didn’t get it to work as well as I want it to. Here are some notes.
