"As with LOCAL_DOMAIN, WEB_DOMAIN cannot be safely changed once set, as this will confuse remote servers that know of your previous settings and may break communication with them or make it unreliable. As the issues lie with remote servers’ understanding of your accounts, re-installing Mastodon from scratch will not fix the issue. Therefore, please be extremely cautious when setting up LOCAL_DOMAIN and WEB_DOMAIN."

Well, 💩

@stefano Hey. I have a question for you, your mastodon address is '@bsd.cafe' yet your mastodon service instance is mastodon.bsd.cafe. How did you do that? I wanted to do that for my domain, but I couldn't (at the time)

@a2_4am That is pretty deliciously evil and clever at the same time

@scanlime this game was so amazing and wonderful. It is really shocking and sad there isn’t anything like it.

I don’t mean like the java port, but i mean brand new games like it in the genre.

Just built FreeBSD 14.1-STABLE. First thing I tested was my USB earbuds. Plugging in changes hw.snd.default_auto from 1 to 0. Audio works - tested with spotifyd and Firefox/Youtube. Unplugging the earbuds results in hw.snd.default_auto going back to 1, and audio is then coming from my laptop's speakers - as you'd expect. And if I plug them back in, the audio is back in my earbuds, even in Firefox/Youtube - this definitely did not work before!

So, maybe a small step for mankind, but a giant leap for audio-related usability on desktop FreeBSD.

Thank you, @FreeBSDFoundation for sponsoring the work on the audio stack! freebsd.org/status/report-2024
(I don't know if it was this work or something else that did the trick, but still!)

@emaste the other 2 are:

reviews.freebsd.org/D45056 (this one actually has some movement)

and:
reviews.freebsd.org/D41509
(this one moved, and then stalled, imp was looking at it and then not it seems)

@emaste It is one logical change; it is allowing NSCD to respond to getgrouplist(3). but that is an entirely different 'kind' of call (the way NSCD is structured is around 'database' and 'key' and 'method'. So if you have database 'group' and key 'name' and method 'name lookup', well, that is 'get group entry by name'. In this case the 'name' isn't the group name, it is a user name, and the response isn't a group entry, but a list of groups.

@emaste since you're doing :freebsd: patches...

I've got 3 in total that I am trying to get in in time for 14.1 . 2 of which have been open for > 6 months

@matuzalem 🎉 Is there a parent site there that has a selection of wallpapers? Here is my current one, but I don't even remember where I got it

I am very very pleased to report that I updated my Thinkpad running 14.0-R, mesa drivers version went up from 24.0.0. to 24.0.6 I can now use an Apple Studio Display with FreeBSD!

@SamUpstate daily, hudson/herkimer rail trail from the corning preserve to the voorheesville trail end and back

first outdoor ride of the year in the books. 24 miles and 1000 active calories!

@a2_4am little known fact, O'Keeffe was a vintage computer graphics illustrator.

(Not actually a fact)

My colo provider has planned maintenance tonight, so I took the opportunity to do what I have been meaning to do for forever; setup DNS at home as a primary for my domains with proper secondary mirroring.

Judging by the fediverse still working.. I seem to have been successful.

I did DNS (with DNSSEC, glue records, name server registration) right the first try? No. I messed something up.. I just don't know what it is yet.
