Telescope [0] is an emacs/w3m-inspired browser for the "small internet"
that supports Gemini, Gopher and Finger. Written in C, with a privsep design in mind.
Telescope is now available on pkgsrc (below you can see it running on SPARC). With a few patches [1], it builds and runs fine on Solaris too.
Thanks @op@bsd.network, @thomasadam@bsd.network, and others for contributing to this project.

Well it's running. Familiar Unix desktop, what can I say.
Had to change the resolution back to 1024x768 because X11 was scrolling the viewport. Tried QXL and virtio, same for both. But 1024x768 is fine.
Network is a bigger issue, virtio-net nor e1000 get me a working network interface.
Dunno what it was with the networking earlier but e1000 did work. Success! 🥳 #pkgsrc
Anyone running my arm64 macOS binary packages from https://pkgsrc.smartos.org/install-on-macos/ on Sonoma 14.5 or newer may want to upgrade to the newer package sets that I've now built:
$ sed -i -e 's/12.3/14.5/' /opt/pkg/etc/pkg_install.conf /opt/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf
$ pkgin -f update
$ pkgin upgrade
I'll get new bootstrap kits and a proper announcement done soon, but this is all you need to do if you already have the 12.3 packages installed.
The 14.5 SDK is now required by some software.

I had to repartition the USB 2.0 SSD to provide 4GB of swap. That seems to be helping #pkgsrc builds.
