            `command_1 || command 2`

            Background: This compound command uses the result code returned by `command_1` with the "shortcircuit" behaviour of the "logical OR" `||` operator.

                        It has come to my attention that my beloved VIM has become invested with LLM AI slop

                        The lead programmer is not following standard rules of coding anymore.

                        People have called him many things, but one thing is certain. The man is intelligent in the programming field and knows what he wants.

                        VIM needs LLM slop!

                        the programmer screams!

                        We don't think so!

                        we roar back!!!

                        A couple of programmers decided to create a hard fork of vim

                        VIM

                          If your terminal ever gets confused by random control sequences, for example after you accidentally output binary data, there's a good chance you can restore order with the `reset` command.

                            The GTK file picker Firefox wants to use by default is meh. I'm not sure why it doesn't use the one provided by the OS when it's just one about:config tweak away. Change widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker from 2 to 1 and you get the much, much better KDE file picker. Assuming you're using @kde of course.

                            It's been a problem for ages on multiple operating systems, not a new thing. At least now you don't have to set environment variables and change startup scripts.

                                        Note that this won't appear in , as it's "Beta".
                                        "-devel" variants in ports are for whichever the newer of "New Feature Branch (NFB)" or "Production Branch (PB)" of drivers.

                                        Investigating for future NFB or PB upgrades, FreeBSD native driver ports should work by overriding version as usual.
                                        But Linux counterparts (installed by overriding version of x11/linux-nvidia-libs{-devel}) need some fixes.

                                        Beware! This version does NOT work on pre-Turing generations of GPUs, just as 590 series.

                                            I'm a Cloud Engineer working in Site Reliability and DevOps in the healthcare industry. I design and build highly scalable, resilient infrastructure that powers modern healthcare systems. Day-to-day I work with .NET, JavaScript, and TypeScript to deliver reliable platforms.

                                            Outside of work, I build with Go — creating tools that prioritize performance, privacy, and user empowerment.

                                            A couple things I'm working on:

                                            RideAware — A cycling training platform for building structured training plans, analyzing ride data, and completing indoor workouts all in one place.

                                            Arcline Hosting — A self-hosted web hosting service for people who want to know exactly where their data lives. It runs on hardware I own and operate — no AWS, no Cloudflare, no third-party CDN. Shared, WordPress, and VPS plans with personal ticket and email support.

                                            My core interests span SRE, cloud infrastructure, DevOps/automation, and network engineering. I spend a lot of time with Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and enjoy digging into routing, firewalls, and secure network design.

                                            I'm here because I care about privacy, self-hosting, and building things that give people more control over their own data. Good to be back — looking forward to reconnecting with this community.

Sun Solaris used to be the OS that required overpriced proprietary hardware and still couldn't compete with Linux. That OS is now MacOS. MacOS used to be the colorful and friendly walled garden OS that your non-techie parents would enjoy but was completely useless to you as a power user. That OS is now Windows. Windows used to be the OS that could run a lot of apps, but was a headache to setup and maintain correctly and would sometimes blow up for no reason. That OS is now Linux. Linux used to be the techie and developer oriented command-line OS that was lacking in desktop apps and might not support your hardware, but once you got it going, was rock solid and had no limits. That OS is now FreeBSD.

                                                                                    This morning, I went to the doctor for a scheduled appointment. While she was looking at the results of blood tests from two years ago on the screen (and suggested repeating them for a follow-up), I realized she was using Windows 11. A detail came to mind. The doctor is extremely polite and friendly, so I asked her, "How do you handle the feature called Recall?" The doctor was taken aback and had no idea what I was talking about. I was about to drop the conversation, but she, being a serious professional, immediately called the technicians who manage their PCs to ask for clarification. They downplayed it, saying it's not an issue and that it's a feature "on all PCs, so we can't do anything about it." She started to express that she didn’t like it and wanted it deactivated. No luck: they won’t proceed because, according to them, even deactivating it is "a hack that could compromise future updates." She’s furious and will talk to her colleagues and the decision-makers. She wants secure systems because "there’s patient data involved."

                                                                                    In reality, patient data is stored on servers (which I haven't investigated), but everything that appears on the screen is, in my opinion, at risk.

                                                                                    I’ve offered to help them find a solution—because, if I'm right, all they need is LibreOffice and a browser. In that case, I’ll suggest one of the *BSD or Linux systems and do it for free.

                                                                                    I don’t want to make money off my doctor. I just want patient data to be (sufficiently) secure.

                                                                                      And don't forget that many Free software programs have Windows versions too, so you can test before you leap.

                                                                                      Good luck!
