I’ll wait and see how this turns out, but I’ll keep openbsd.org open in my browser. Just in case.

I have FreeBSD on my ThinkPad, and I’d use it on more of my boxes if any of the other WiFi hardware was supported.
This is the entire debian-official Tumblr, summed up in one photo.
To be fair, RBOS was the first distro to ship Wayland on the live image.
9·2 months agoThere was one on r/UnixPorn, who was probably the reason why r/BetterUnixPorn was a thing. Kept removing my posts for literally no reason.
Don’t remember his name, but he spent a lot of time on some fetch sub (as in neofetch, pfetch, fastfetch, etc.)
I also once got banned from r/Socialism for saying China wasn’t communist. Whole place was full of tankies, and not just because of that incident.
Probably wrote his own microkernel, tbh; but I reckon he would be a Slackware or Funtoo user.
Give redlib a go. It’s a fork of Libreddit that doesn’t get ratelimited.
- OpenRC just feels nice
- Runit is simple
- S6 is really fucking fast
- Some distros (e.g. Guix, Void, Gentoo) come with non-systemd init systems by default, but I use them for other reasons
As for why I sometimes use musl, I like BSD. Also, Alpine Linux uses it by default, and most glibc software I’ve tried works just fine with gcompat.

Well, since I started using the naming scheme, I have several lines of machines. Pearl-II (MacBookPro11,1; 2014) is the successor of Pearl (MacBook2,1; 2007), both of which are part of the Pearl line.
Lengthy explanation
Essentially:
- Garnet - Main machine, which should be the most powerful if possible.
- Amethyst - My ThinkPad (or equivalent) with as much GNU or BSD software and firmware as possible. If I were to go to an FSF convention, this would be the machine I bring with me.
- Pearl - My MacBook, dual-booting Linux and the latest supported version of macOS.
- LapisLazuli - “The Other One”. This machine is the one I use for experimenting, or for leaving at other people’s houses if I visit a lot. As of 01/04/24, this one is probably due an upgrade, but I’ll keep using it until Mageia drops x86_64-v1.
- Spinel - My SBC. Currently a Raspberry Pi 3B+, but Spinel-II should be just around the corner.
- Peridot - My tablet (because Peridot from SU has a tablet). Unfortunately, I chose to buy a crappy £80 Android tablet from Argos, so I avoid using this machine if I can help it.
- Carnelian - My phone. Currently an iPhone SE (Carnelian-II), but Carnelian-III will be something with DivestOS, I am sure.
- Larimar - My PineTime.
I also use the diamonds for my family’s devices, if I need to assign hostnames; and Jasper for any Windows devices or VMs I have to use.
Also, I only bought three of these devices: Garnet, Peridot, and Larimar. The rest I was given by my uncle over the course of about a decade. Essentially, whenever a line gets an upgrade, the other lines rearrange. For example, when I was given Pearl-II last month, it replaced Amethyst as the machine I take to sixth form, so Amethyst replaced Lapis, Lapis replaced the original Pearl, and the original Pearl was retired.
Before I started using this, I just used to use random names that had something to do with the OS, so my ThinkPad was “Nemesis” and my main machine was “Archangel”.
Cool! I name my storage drives after weather (e.g. STORM19, LIGHTNING12, REDSPRITE24).
Thanks!

sudo xbps-install -Su sddm sway waylandsudo ln -s /etc/sv/sddm /var/servicesudo sv up sddm“Hey, why aren’t there any sessions?”
Yesterday, I spent half an hour trying to figure out why SDDM wasn’t seeing
/usr/share/wayland-sessions/sway.desktopbefore I realised that the reason it wasn’t showing up in the menu was because I hadn’t installed any fonts; so it was there, but it was invisible.
2·4 months agoSo, I’ve been in touch with some privacy advocates who I know do their research and that I trust the opinions of, and this article is bullshit.
Because I just want a router. I don’t need a fully modular home networking setup, and I’ve also never done anything more advanced than YunoHost when it comes to networking.
Besides, the hardware controller alone would cost more than the router I found.
