I got my laptop back! It came back yesterday. I'm back to babying it. Then again, it wasn't like I was rough or gross or anything. Updating my system felt like it took forever too. Which makes sense, because it's been nearly a month since the previous update.

FreeBSD strokes its goatee

FreeBSD has a goatee???? Dang, I need to try it out.

@amin @wyatt

Ok, DANG. Total mandela effect. I could have sworn that #Beastie had a goatee, but he totally does not.

Ok, then:

FreeBSD Strokes trident

Somehow, that's more threatening. XD

#FreeBSD 15 has some important changes. For one thing I think we're finally getting Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) support (I HOPE!).

They're also moving to a model where the base packages will be managed by the pkg package manager, rather than having a program to manage OS (base) packages and a separate program to manage add-on packages (pkg).

I HOPE there won't be any hiccups with that major change. :E

@rl_dane AFAIK the "upgraded" wifi is not stable enough to be in RELEASE (june annoucement). No info grabbed since, hope it'll change...

Ah, well. We'll get it when we get it. ;)

Slow Wifi is an opportunity to chill out. XD

Heck, I remember being blown away with 45 KiB/s downloads at uni 33 years ago! ;)

@rl_dane I hope I'm wrong too, I was about to try the BETA but it'd be ridiculous to burn a DVD as RELEASE is about to go out 😅
