My personal site of programming, C++, baking, KDE and FreeBSD things.| [bobulate]
I switched to static website generation with Jekyll in 2019 (probably because of Carl Schwan, who is somehow my guiding-spirit in webulous things even if he does Hugo things nowadays). That means Ruby, and I’ve got various bits-and-notes documents saying things like “When Ruby breaks again, …” This blog post is my attempt to document for myself, once-and-for-all, my setup.| [bobulate]
This is a recipe post. For an event I needed to make brownies for 100 people, so this time I decided to write down what I was doing, so that they would be sort-of-consistent. I even weighed things.| [bobulate]
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.| [bobulate]
Here are some more notes on getting KDE Plasma 6 on FreeBSD up and running on a Framework 13 AMD laptop. This follows up on previous notes about getting the hardware together and installing FreeBSD.| [bobulate]
My home contains multiple FreeBSD machines – laptops, desktops, single-board-computers – which can benefit from sharing storage. In particular, I really only need one copy of the FreeBSD source tree (plus some work-trees for different branches) and one copy of the ports tree and distfiles. This blog post is my notes on setting that up.| [bobulate]
The FreeBSD Foundation exists to support the FreeBSD community and the FreeBSD project. Some of its projects are aimed at improving the experience of FreeBSD on specific hardware. There is an ongoing, and expanding, laptop experience project. To expand that project further, the foundation has provided Framework laptops to a bunch of developers working on the FreeBSD laptop and desktop experience. I’m one of those developers, and here are some initial notes on the process. The notes assume e...| [bobulate]
This is a recipe post. I loathe and despise recipe sites, but this is one I regularly need to look up. In Canadian measures, which is what I still do my baking in even after 30 years in Europe.| [bobulate]
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.| [bobulate]
Something of a yearly ritual, that of updating GPG (signing-)keys and pushing them to various places.| [bobulate]
FreeBSD ports update today: delete mode 100644 x11/plasma5-plasma/ create mode 100644 x11/plasma6-plasma/| [bobulate]
