@harald I tried my best to remove all the bugs, but please do complain if I didn't ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
I finally released Maolan, DAW for #Linux and #FreeBSD! It was a great joy learning all about #Rust and #audio in a project for #music production. I'm sorry to say that #OpenBSD and #NetBSD are still not supported by the underlying libraries, but once they are, I'll work on support for those operating systems. On the other hand, Windows proved to be near impossible to support, so I removed the support for it. Maybe at some point my best man will add OSX support, but as their baby is on the way, I wouldn't count on it. Anyway, the site is https://maolan.github.io and the only missing piece is "support the project", because I'm in Serbia. Enjoy!
Maolan โ€“ Open Source Digital Audio Workstation

A modern Rust-based DAW for recording, MIDI editing, automation, and music production. Open source, transparent, and community-driven.

Holly Ukulele! I had Python run some CUDA/Torch stuff on #FreeBSD using the #Nvidia eGPU and the #Linuxulator system ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Not in a Jail yet though. Also, the thing runs in a mixed mess of FreeBSD rl9 packages and Container-Base content; because I don't understand how you're supposed to use dnf to install things in /compat/linux. Maybe you're not supposed to... :D

Gotta sort my notes now and try to have it done properly...
Still, kind of happy now.

I'm devastated! I made https://github.com/maolan/maolan work on #FreeBSD and #Linux in about 2.5 months, but I can't make it work on #Windows with VST3. I'm banging my head for the last month on what to try next and I'm afraid I spent more time in windbgx than in any debugger EVER! If you're willing to send a patch or tell me what to do to make it work on Windows, I'll be more than grateful!

As long as I needed to support Al other operating systems in mailman I need just for windows. And it still doesn't work. I hate COM objects!

If you are a #freebsd user who has been wanting to try #ollama, I have opened a PR open to add support for the platform

https://github.com/ollama/ollama/pull/14697

Add FreeBSD Support by Aesthetikx ยท Pull Request #14697 ยท ollama/ollama

These changes were sufficient to get Ollama running successfully for me on FreeBSD, utilizing either GPU via Vulkan or CPU inference. Compared to #4172, I think these changes are simpler, as the pr...

Can somebody help me with #NetBSD running in #FreeBSD bhyve? When I run startx inside NetBSD I get kernel panic (in the VM, not host). This is my command:

I tried to support #OpenBSD with Maolan, but I failed. The iced doesn't use WGPU on this operating system, and using tiny-skia doesn't show the window in my VM. If anybody patches iced/WGPU on OpenBSD, I'd be grateful if they would let me know so I can try again.
