    Bringin' Mastodon to FreeBSD desktop.Trying to use Mastodon on #freebsd desktop and found zero GUI clients available in current (2025.Q4) packages.However, it is always possible to build one thanks to open source software and active community.After ducking around I have decided to build the #tuba client to work with XFCE desktop, which requires few more packages to be present:- Meson build system is must-have to compile and install the app.- Gnome libraries are required as listed in project README.- Unfortunately, you could not build from main branch since the GTK4 version is a bit outdated in packages then set in project requirements, but version v.0.9.2 is fine (checkout the relevant tag).- Don't forget to install GNU gettext package which is not listed in dependencies, but is mandatory to build project translations.- Vala compiler is a must, which is installed with vala package as well.Installation process is smooth and simple after that:- Install required packages (probably you might need a bit more, check the project README): pkg install gettext gtk4 meson vala- Clone the branch with git clone --depth 1 --branch v0.9.2 git@github.com:GeopJr/Tuba.git && cd Tuba- Setup build system (I'm using target since familiar to Java project structure): meson setup target && cd target- Build and install application, it will require super-user privileges to install binaries and resources to /usr/local/* directories: meson compile && meson installTo run Tuba you might need to setup Gnome Keyring (see https://github.com/GeopJr/Tuba/wiki/keyring-issues for guidance). But first you might need to install both SeaHorse and Gnome Keyring packages with pkg install seahorse gnome-keyring. After the keyring setup the application is running smoothly on #freebsd15 desktop.BTW, I see that the net-im/tuba is also available, but I found no package with it.

    How far along has tarfs gotten in #FreeBSD? I've been watching @dch 's talk on immutable FreeBSD from EuroBSDCon 2023 (1 hour wasn't enough to cover your talk!)I've been looking into applying the principles but sadly it won't be for $day_job as they've no interest in my FreeBSD ideas but for something else.I'm curious which sockets were used in the jails. Was /tmp replaced with tmpfs in the jail and did you use a socket to talk to syslog-ng on the host? https://youtu.be/5oHLU9w1vVk

    Found #nvidia Production Branch of drivers 580.95.05 is released. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/254666/Corresponding Linux counterpart is: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/254665/With several hours of using, there seems to be no unknown issues for me, so filed #FreeBSD Bug 289940 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=289940and opened corresponding review D52831 https://reviews.freebsd.org/D52831for this update.TBH, I've prepared update for previous version 580.82.09, but 580.95.05 appeared until I was waiting for commit for splitted out kmod updates, so skipped 580.82.09.
