@NUND made me aware of a new #linuxaudio #synthesizer #plugin in the making and currently in #beta, called Deimos.

It is made with iPlug2 and offered as #clap and looks and sounds very promising, IMHO. 🤓

Check it out here:

From <bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show…>:

＂Without force: deleting all packages may cause removal of the one and only kernel …＂

In other words, if I'm not mistaken, flagging FreeBSD-base meta packages as vital does not necessarily have the required effect.

#FreeBSD #beta #base #kernel #bug

FYI some teething problems for people, including me, with the outdated version of pkg. Repeated segfaults, a known issue with that version.

Segfault-free with 2.4.2_1:

<reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/…> and other comments.

#FreeBSD #pkg #pkgbase #Reddit #releng #beta

I reckon:

1/ packages are fine

2/ tools and conventions are works in progress.

pkgbase as two things:

― base system packages
― tools and conventions

… and an elevator pitch: <reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/…>

#FreeBSD #pkgbase #packages #pkg

Und man kann #Niri als cpmpositor einbinden habe ich gehört.

#pop_os #GUI #Editor #vim #beta #wayland #system76 #cosmic #rust

Dem neuen #pop_os haben sie einen #GUI #Editor beigelegt. Neben der Fähigkeit Projektordner zu nutzen, gibt es auch noch auf Wunsch #vim Tastaturbelegung, deadly simple.

Insgesamt ist die #beta aber schon richtig gut, das Warten hat sich gelohnt. Die üblichen Problemchen bei #wayland (z.B. mpv) aber sonst seeeehr schick und funktional.#system76 #cosmic #rust

Temporarily lock the pkg package.
