@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! https://www.freebsd.org/status/report-2024-01-2024-03/#_audio_stack_improvements
(I don't know if it was this work or something else that did the trick, but still!)
@emaste all diffs now updated -U99999 :)
@emaste the other 2 are:

and:

(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 patches...

@matuzalem ah, excellent, and I see my current one there even!
@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
@matuzalem can you share that background?

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.
@chuck 1450 active calories. nice. I also bike a lot. Been stuck inside so far on the trainer, but have been looking to get back outside
@a2_4am No words... they should have sent a poet.
@a2_4am you're going to share a video with the answer, right?
