Im Juli sorgten zwei #SSH CVEs für Aufsehen. #SUSE Manager 5.0 und Leap Micro 6.0 sind erschienen und #CentOS 7 wurde eingestellt. Weitere Backup-Provider wollen #Proxmox unterstützen. #Firefox 128 verärgert mit PPA, das openSUSE-Projekt diskutiert lebhaft ein Rebranding. Canonical will Docker-Container zukünftig bis zu 12 Jahre unterstützen, während #FreeBSD den Supportzyklus verkürzt.

Plasma visually bugged following an upgrade on FreeBSD

I found an old Acer laptop running #windows98 It has an external CD-ROM unit which doesn't work until drivers are loaded. Same for USB, so I can't boot it with anything except Windows.
I would like to give it a new life installing #freeBSD ... Can you suggest a way to install it from within Windows 98?
Thanks to the #FreeBSD Handbook on Ports and the following page, I finally got around to building the drm-kmod port and dependencies so that amdgpu runs properly on 14.2.

Confirming a fix in FreeBSD 14.3-BETA3

GrafX2 is a hidden #graphics gem. It is specialized in 256-color drawing and one of its main supported platforms is not #Linux, its #FreeBSD . How lovely.

FreeBSD: Leakage of information into vt consoles, from a desktop environment at ttyv8
https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1k92yo8/leakage_of_information_into_vt_consoles_from_a/
– in other words, input in a desktop environment may be mistreated as input at a terminal e.g. ttyv0 or ttyv1.
Please help to identify relevant source code. Thank you.
FreeBSD: new package repositories for kernel modules

FreeBSD: icons are broken in Geany, GIMP, HandBrake, PDF Arranger, Remmina, and various other applications.
In addition to the four screenshots here in Mastodon:
― https://i.imgur.com/iJ2eKe6.png – the Save As dialogue in Firefox (the File Open dialogue is similarly broken)
― https://i.imgur.com/j3LVxGP.png – Geany
…
Breakage was first observed following an upgrade on 28th April. Broken again with the most recent round of updates, a few hours ago.
I can reactivate a boot environment that has recent base packages alongside increasingly outdated port packages, however this is far from ideal.
Can anyone explain the breakage?
Thanks

FreeBSD pkg version 2.2.0 seems to simplify things for users of FreeBSD-kmods repositories.
Big thanks to @_bapt_

Hello Fedi friends!
My child and I arrived in Italy yesterday to spend all of July at my parents' 🇮🇹
What's the first thing I did this morning? Following @milano to have weather forecasts here in my feed.
Special thanks to @stefano for creating this incredible project.
For those of you not familiar with #FediMeteo, it covers 2893 cities in 38 countries. All powered by a 4€/month VPS with #snac and #freeBSD:
Grazie Stefano! 🙏✨🏆
