# Call for FreeBSD testers!

Hi! if you want to use Makko on FreeBSD, we'd need your help!
We're moving Makko to upstream Zigmon, which should fix an issue with compiling on FreeBSD.

We'd appreciate if anyone that does run FreeBSD could chip in and report back on this PR: forge.starlightnet.work/Team/Makko/pulls/57

There is contact info there to report back to, and hopefully the next patch will have FreeBSD builds attached as well :)

#StarlightNetwork #makko
swap over to upstream zigmon

it seems to .... just work? This was done in response to an email by Lux; It seems that an upstream change fixed FreeBSD builds This will be turned into a pre-release :)

Nelson also wrote a blogpost about the making of Nixie, the challenges he faced during it, and its design decisions, be sure to check it out!

Alright, here's an idea for Contributing that we didn't share before: Signing up to forge.starlightnet.work using Codeberg

Upsides we see:
- we don't have to host email
- you can login using an existing account of yours
- you can relatively easily contribute to makko, StarlightOS, misfits or other projects

Downsides:
- Network effect kicks our ass (less people are gonna visit our forge when they're already active on GitHub or Codeberg mostly; Many might forget)
- While Codeberg is pretty good at preventing spam, it's not fool-proof; We might be inviting spam onto our Forgejo instance

What do y'all think of this approach?
