There’s no denying that not everyone is happy with the state of the GTK world, and I, too, have argued that GNOME’s massive presence and seeming unwillingness to cooperate with or even consider the existence of other GTK-based desktop environments is doing real, measurable...
In regards to performance, AMD is touting an average (geomean) IPC increase in desktop workloads for Zen 5 of 16%. And with the new desktop Ryzen chips’ turbo clockspeeds remaining largely identical to their Ryzen 7000 predecessors, this should translate into similar...

I want to run GoToSocial on some *BSD system. Because I am who I am, I went for using NetBSD 10.0. And because my hypervisor is running bhyve on OmniOS, you get the title of this blog post. Don’t get too anxious, it is quite straightforward. So let the journey begin. ↫...
