After a great week for Linux, with the releases of Fedora 40 and today Ubuntu 24.04, I would be interested to know which operating system the Fediverse in my "bubble" uses? Linux? Windows? Or macOS or even a BSD? More than one?
Please write in the comments which distribution or version! Thanks for participating and SHARING!

I'm still wondering whether I should install KDE Connect or not. On the one hand, great smartphone integration on the computer, on the other hand: do I really need it? Longer battery life is more important to me, and for the few times I want to transfer photos to the computer, I can also connect the USB cable.

Ok, long story short: I'm going back to macOS on this Late 2012 MacBookAir.
I love #Enlightenment (especially #E26 with #EFL 1.27.0) but I am not going through the hassle of all that apt/dpkg-crap again on a desktop machine. It is enough if I have to do that on my servers.
I just started "Restore from Internet" on the MacBookAir.
And I dunno, I really have to defend Apple here: I only had to restart the laptop and hold down CMD-r during restart. It then started an EFI-ROM-boot, which offered a way of joining my WiFi.
Then, it connected to an Apple-Server to download a restoration-preparation disk image, mounted and booted from that. After that I could start the Disk Utility to prepare the disk and now ... well, now it is downloading a full macOS disk image from one of Apple's servers and will then install it.
Mind you, it found OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) for download onto this laptop, which means, I need to do many upgrades afterwards to get it to 10.15.7 (macOS Catalina), but hey:
1. This is a 12-year old laptop
2. There **IS** still an Apple-Server where it can download a macOS
3. It is still supported with some security updates
4. It just friggin' works!
Yes, it will take hours and hours, but it works... And I'm sure I can still find download a development-environment for it and get brew installed.
Well, yeah, no! I think this was the last time I tried a Linux on desktop.
Until #FreeBSD runs on one of my old Apple MacBook (Air), I won't be deleting macOS from it anymore.
(I actually even have a MacBookPro or so, which can still run 32-Bit macOS-Software, but I don't really use that at all, so I might as well try installing FreeBSD on that one because ... it has an Ethernet-Port :)
Good question.
The only person I know that is even remotely into that stuff may be @ncommander.
After all, #backporting #curl to legacy #FreeBSD sounds like the kind of #SoftwareGore and #DigitalMasochism he's likes to showcase on his #YouTube channel...
Anyone happen to know anything about #FreeBSD (legacy) header files and wants to help us out with a #curl build issue?

Hey @matrixdotorg@twitter.com , i made an entire german series of introducing the Matrix protocol and installing it onto a #FreeBSD / #TrueNAS jail for self hosting, supported by an OPNsense firewall, which is doing the HAProxy and cert stuff. Maybe you like it: https://bsdbox.de/matrix

we just learned that bsd.network is listed on https://wiki.freebsd.org/Community and https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/eresources/ and we don't find that appropriate.
this is a closed community, not a resource for freebsd (or netbsd, or openbsd for that matter). our users happen to be just regular people, who may or may not have an affiliation with a *BSD project.
if we're on other pages in your documentation we'd appreciate being removed from them, too, let's keep this unofficial
