FreeBSD 15 + CDE is probably the closest you can get to sitting in front of a high-end UNIX workstation without owning a time machine. Running Common Desktop Environment in 2026 feels strangely refreshing. No blur effects, no Electron, no notifications fighting for attention, No ai written code, just Motif, terminals, man pages, and a desktop paradigm that was already mature before I was born. Current setup: • FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE • CDE • dtwm • bhyve • Motif everywhere Today’s activity: reading bhyve(4) manuals and pretending I'm a UNIX admin in 1996. #FreeBSD #BSD #CDE #Unix #Motif #bhyve #OpenSource #UnixPorn #RetroComputing #FOSS

Today I talked about GNU Guix at MashhadLUG, our local Linux User Group. I’ve published the presentation files on GitHub. (Sadly, GitLab is unavailable for my country due to sanctions, and Codeberg is blocked by the Iranian government, otherwise I would have preferred to host them there.) I’m a big fan of Emacs and Org mode. This presentation was written in Org and delivered using org-tree-slide. It was a really enjoyable experience :) https://github.com/behdanisohrab/presentations #GNUGuix #Emacs #OrgMode #FreeSoftware #OpenSource #Linux #GNU #FLOSS #LUG

Hello!
I am still safe, especially after these 40 days of war that took place in my country.

I don't want to write a critique of the war; everything is relatively clear. Fortunately, I am in the eastern part of the country, which wasn't damaged much.

But well... the Iranian government has shut down the internet for us for 40 days; this is truly annoying and has even caused many things to be destroyed.

Whether it is the digital economy, or businesses that were active on Telegram and the internet. Whether it's website SEO. For example, my own project, Parch GNU/Linux, has had its servers go out of reach because they were in Iran, and I cannot provide updates for it without the internet. Even its rank on DistroWatch has dropped significantly. Who is going to compensate for these government-inflicted losses later?

These events have caused people to be forced to migrate to government-monitored platforms, most of which are a fourth-rate copy of Telegram.

There have been struggles too; we are resisting this by using Delta Chat, Matrix, and even XMPP so as not to go to these platforms.

Pray for us.

@Lioh@social.anoxinon.de well its not a software related issue, i think some samsung J model batteries are compatible with pinephone and you can use them instead for better batterylife.
