I'm not seeing a good upgrade story right now for pkgbase FreeBSD 14.3 to 15.0. I have the compat14x installed and just want to upgrade the base, not my "ports" yet. This used to be a pretty common (for me anyway) practice if you had slower update schedules and you would be getting major package updates too. First make sure the base is solid, then start upgrading services.
When I try to force it to only work on the base repo it thinks it has to uninstall all the FreeBSD:14:amd64 packages?
I can work around it by just disabling the base repo and deleting its package database, do my normal manual upgrade method, then run the pkgbasify script to register the packages and move on. They should have major upgrades improved by the time 16.0 is ready.
Does your comment of it being louder than an Orbit stand? That recording makes it sound quieter, but it's always hard to judge relative volume with this kind of thing.
@alexhall I think orbit's more of a flowing sound, likeone of those rain sticks you used to get as a kid, but could be wrong. We have one here, might dig it out to really see. This refreshes faster but is also a bit louder than that. It reminds me of raddle snake eggs clacking together :D
they're not getting released because Trump ordered them to open a new investigation so it doesn't matter who votes for it. He's pretending to support the release so he can say "sorry not my fault they can't be released"

Wealth hoarding is a pandemic.
Little Johnny overheard his friends talking about how adults have secrets they’re desperate to keep hidden, and how easy it was to manipulate them. Intrigued, Johnny decided to try it out himself.
When he got home, he walked up to his mom with a sly grin and said, “Mom, I know everything.”
His mom’s face went pale. She glanced around nervously, then leaned in, shushed him, and handed him $10. “Just don’t tell your father, okay?” she whispered.
Johnny’s eyes widened in amazement. This works! he thought.
An hour later, his dad came home from work. Johnny walked up to him confidently and said, “Dad, I know everything.”
His dad’s expression froze, and he quickly pulled out his wallet. Handing Johnny $100, he said in a low voice, “Let’s keep this between us, alright? Don’t tell your mom.”
Johnny could hardly contain his excitement. This is incredible!
A little while later, there was a knock at the door. Johnny opened it to see the mailman standing there. With a mischievous grin, Johnny said, “I know everything.”
The mailman’s face turned ghostly white. His jaw dropped, and his eyes filled with tears. After a long pause, he said, “Well… if you know everything, Johnny, come give your real dad a hug.”

I wrote a brief piece about Alice Wong’s passing away over the weekend. It's an honor to think she appreciated my work, and the disability community will miss her.
Chloe Veltman reported Saturday for NPR Alice Wong, 51, died of an infection at a San Francisco hospital. Her death was confirmed by friend and fellow activist, Sandy Ho.

I upgraded an app from using #Gradle 8.13 to version 9.2.1. Not because I wanted to, I dread upgrading Gradle, but because I needed it to work with Java 25.
Predictably, my build definition (`build.gradle.kts`) broke, with some deprecated APIs being removed. This isn't some coincidence, Gradle's APIs get deprecated all the time, nothing's safe.
I don't think I have ever upgraded Gradle without noticing source compatibility breakage. I can't think of any other API I've used that's worse.

#chatmail might be a new way to deliver email but it's not a new way to deliver mail :)
"Poste restante" or "general delivery" or "waiting mail" is a mode where one can send a message to a name or, in some countries, pseudonym, @ a post office address and then someone else can come and get it, showing their name or pseudonym (passphrase). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poste_re…
Curious, which of you know/have used the poste restante mode of delivering postal mail at one point in your life?
It was very popular in Europe back in 60's, 70's and even 80's. When people were somewhere far from their homes at vacations, then they used it pretty often. The post office where I used to use it, still have this service up and running.

Was the source code for the Windows version of colorForth ever released? I can't be the only one who's curious about what unusual thing it was doing that Windows finally broke.
Download colorForth for free. colorForth is, in Chuck Moore's own words: "A dialect of Forth that uses color to replace punctuation. Includes its own operating system.
It really bums me out that people on Fedi don't really talk about what's going on in Ukraine. Drone attacks on Kyiv are non-stop now, and Russia just bombed train tracks used to bring humanitarian aid into Ukraine.
