New FreeBSD blog post:
I hooked up a desk phone to my FreeBSD server, so I actually can call it.

My “FreeBSD Cloud Drive” and file commander now can show thumbnail immediately after file landed to the cloud, but downloaded on demand.
Downloading happens with scale animation when old thumbnail scales up to give room for the progress indicator.
At the moment I’m building server update to make video thumbnails to be generated by server itself so it can show it for video files instead of generic white icon.

Now I set Feh to handle wallpapers. And this is how it looks together. Not bad, ha.
Why KDE was chosen as default desktop environment for the new FreeBSD installer?
It was never the most popular option among FreeBSD forum users, and it requires more computer resources than the others. The Xfce + "other" option covers 64.7% of use cases. So why was KDE, with only 14.3%, chosen? I don't understand that.
Also why installer can't give you a choice?
Guys, why aren't these the default settings in #FreeBSD ?
kbdcontrol -r fast
or in /etc/rc.conf keyrate="fast" ?
I just can't live without it, typing is too slow. Especially for backspace press.
It's time to upgrade #Freebsd 14.3 to 14.4 Release!

This is what I was able to achieve today.
Still a lot of work to do. Openbox produces some odd inner border. Left, right, bottom, but I still can’t remove it.
