Day two of using #freebsd again.
The resolution of the wifi issue was as simple as pressing the enable radio button on the keyboard. Good thing I read the messages on startup this time.
After quite a bit of struggle I've gotten wayfire going (with an old nvidia card no less).
The other challenge I faced is while Sway or Wayfire would launch, I couldn't run anything. No foot, alacritty, no dmenu, wayfire's bar would crash, the swaybar had boxes for icons. This took me much longer than I would like to admit to solve.
Somehow it's possible on Freebsd to install all of this and not install a font. in one sense I appreciate the modularity. Sometimes on Linux I've felt like one little tool brings with it an entire desktop environment and a GB of software. This might be on the extreme other end.
Added doas, rofi, firefox and started tweaking the interface. I haven't figured out the startup splash screen yet, or how to launch sddm or something like it on startup. But that's coming.
Back years ago I never had a computer that could run Compiz. So I get to relive some of those aspirations with Wayfire. The effects are neat without being terribly annoying.
The laptop I'm using was made in 2008 or 2009. And quite remarkably it does not feel slow at all. The genie effect is faster than any Mac when the Dock had that option. The cube rotates smoothly.
And most surprising, launching Firefox seems almost instant. I had a dozen tabs open and not a glitch, even watching a YouTube video and swapping screens with the cube effect.
I think I've managed to get this working without introducing many Linux-isms or the Linux ABI. I use Linux a lot, but I wanted something a bit more purely BSD for this machine.

@Gina polyester is ok for repelling water, but it's a terrible insulator and doesn't allow your skin to breathe, so you just get itchy and sweaty despite not actually being warm. Look for 100% wool instead! Ideally a wool overcoat - the length works against both rain and wind and wool is so good that you don't even need a thick/heavy one.
It's even better for bedding because it regulates rather than just cooks. So a wool duvet is good all year round, cooling you in summer and warming in winter.

Anche stavolta parteciperò alla Marcia della Pace Perugia-Assisi. L’ho fatto tante volte, fin dai tempi della FGCI. Poi, negli anni, con i figli piccoli, figli di noi che stavamo diventando

"Amore è un termine troppo debole". Probabilmente #DianeKeaton non avrebbe voluto essere ricordata solo come "la musa di #WoodyAllen". Ma quando sei la protagonista di un #film così, scritto per te come la citazione iniziale, con uno dei finali più belli della storia, è inevitabile.
