"This Week in Plasma" brings the news that...

Plasma 6.6 is here (duh!), we fixed those widgets the new release broke 😬, we made the close buttons on the "Thumbnails" task switcher more legible, and the “Terminate this frozen window” dialog got a spinner, among many more tasty things.

GhostBSD is going to abandon Xorg after 15 years. Eric Turgeon explains why GhostBSD switched from Xorg to XLibre instead of Wayland.

What would be the #freebsd equivalent to "kpartx -a" on linux?

Asking because #bhyve is currently broken on 15.0 and i'd like to access the data in a zvol which is the disk of a bhyve vm.
Currently FreeBSD doesn't see (and doesn't care about) the partitions inside said zvol. I'd like to make it care temporarily :-)

WINE gaming in FreeBSD Jails with Bastille

FreeBSD offers a whole bunch of technologies and tools to make gaming on the platform a lot more capable than you'd think, and this article by Pertho dives into the details. Running all your games inside a FreeBSD Jail with Wine installed into it is pretty neat.

Initially, I thought this was going to be a pretty difficult and require a lot of tria

Created a little Cirrus CI workflow that runs on #FreeBSD.

It makes FreeBSD builds for uWebsockets.js, a performant HTTP/Websocket library for Node.js.

@ianthetechie Fair points! Mainly looked into it because I wanted #FreeBSD CI, and it does not look like GitHub will support it anytime soon. But then came to the realization that GitHub CI could be a lot better.

It is especially a shame how badly GitHub supports running CI locally. How many developer hours were wasted because of that?
