@lw Exactly.The problem often fires up on forums.freebsd.org.I thought why you hesitate with -p* approach should be because of this from start.OTOH, why I'm sticking with keeping backward compatibility is for in-the-wild scripts / codes.On FreeBSD src and ports, scripts and/or codes relying on current versioning scheme would be fixed to fit new versioning scheme.So would be on large enough organizations if enough notification periods are given (1 or more major releases after the first headsup).Personal users who is administrating the own computers like me would do, too, as the person (including myself) should know what to do.The problem in the middle range. In small organizations that the dev who wrote the scripts / codes are already gone wouldn't be able to fix them unless someone else who can do comes into. This is why backward compatibilities are quite important.

@yrabbit I can't remember the ipfw command syntax, but when updating pf, I always do something like:# service pf restart && (sleep 30 ; service pf stop)If the new rules didn't lock me out, hitting control-C works to cancel the start. If they locked me out, I get access back 30s later.

@BastilleBSD

@normis @vermaden @dexter oh wow. It is beautiful!

@mwlunpopular opinion: just create a separate mail account for the wiki and organize your categories with IMAP folders. people can write articles and can have their own offline copy. it should even work on every standard potato.#freebsd #openbsd #netbsd

@drixter Good hint Thank you. I'll definitely do that.

@iX_Magazin Sehr tendenziöse Formulierungen in dem Artikel. Seit Jahren hätten die anderen Desktops schon die Unterstützung von Wayland vorbereiten können, haben sie aber nicht. Seit Jahren hätten die BSDs auch an Wayland arbeiten können. Allein die systemd-Fokussierung moderner Desktops ist in der Tat fragwürdig, wenn auch nachvollziehbar. Es nimmt halt viel Arbeit ab, die man nicht duplizieren muss.

We’ve published a new blog post outlining how we’re preparing for the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), and what it means for the FreeBSD ecosystem.The CRA introduces new compliance expectations for products containing digital elements, including open source components.

New to FreeBSD and not sure where to start? You’re not alone. In this second video of the series, I'm walking through the FreeBSD Foundation's Getting Started page.On this page, you’ll find: — The official FreeBSD Handbook— Installation guides for desktops and virtual machines— Step-by-step written walkthroughs for common setup options— Links to community spaces: forums, Discord, Reddit, and LinkedIn https://freebsdfoundation.org/resource/getting-started-with-freebsd/#FreeBSD #OpenSource #DeveloperCommunity #FreeBSDProject

@stefano Looking forward to reading that, i will try this one more time.

@Larvitz @hbauer that's the reason why I have two installations: I test on the "secondary" one before upgrading the main one. If everything is fine, I switch all the traffic to the secondary one and upgrade the first one, too.

Secondary: "Tianve" - HP-250 G3Operating System: OpenBSD 7.8 amd64Desktop: LXQT 2.2.0 Windowmanager: XFWM4Qt Version: 6.8.3Graphics Platform: X11https://bsd-hardware.info/?probe=77494a1526#runbsd #openbsd #fishlinux #unix #foss #lxqt #desktop #screenshot
