The “BOY HOWDY!” heard around the room:

A #FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT boot environment on a 15.0-RELEASE made with OccamBSD imagine.sh and propagate.sh, which use makefs(8) and mkimg(1) internally, and packaged base…

We can have nice things!

I’m sure there are remaining rough edges but IT CAN BE DONE.

You’re welcome.

The last day to back @RobCornell's deliciously messed-up novel and get not one, not two, but THREE books!

Seriously, this the most fubar book I've read since PKD's VALIS, yet positive and hopeful.

@grahamperrin @FreeBSDFoundation I've seen demos of this tool as a work in progress on weekly jails calls, and it looks very promising as a management GUI for a FreeBSD-hosted VM cluster.
Ill try it out on an older, unused system with a fresh OS installation. Are there any particular workflows, functions, or usability/UI design that need testing or feedback?

@keithamus Thanks. That was a fun rabbit hole.
@Tubsta @phessler Thanks again - Shotcut worked well - about 5 minutes of a learning curve to get 4 files in the playlist, a few minutes of trimming off the Game/DirectX crashes, and now it is encoding to a new file. It didn't find a hardware encoder from the GPU, but that is probably because it is running on FreeBSD; it will only take about 20 minutes for a 1 h 40 minute recording, so not really worth researching hardware encoding for my limited use. I installed, but didn't try Kdenlive at this point. I'll probably try that next time for comparison.
@feld @phessler current my only mac is a 2011 mini, and Apple won't allow it to get updates, so it had been a development box for years to try out various OS installs.
@Tubsta @phessler thanks. I've glanced at kdenlive, and will give shotcut a try. It looks like this editing task will be pretty straightforward.

Is Kdenlive the best tool for editing/splicing multiple video clips together?

...or is there a better open source tool for nonlinear video editing? I am not a professional video editor, so simplicity rather than features is more important for me at this time. I can run it on FreeBSD, Linux, or MS Windows, and it isn't worth spending $$ on this for me.

I recorded an esports match via OBS (.mp4) for one of my kids in college, but MS Windows crashed 4 times while recording, so I need to crop and splice the videos together and remove the unnecessary stuff from multiple recordings - nothing fancy - just clipping and splicing.

Usually I just save and share the file without editing - the few people who watch it will skip around to the parts they want to watch. Last time I had two recordings and just merged them (ffmpeg), but this time it is more annoying with several files and a lot of crashes, so I don't just want to merge them without clipping out the junk.

Thanks!
