    OK I've a question for #FreeBSD users that have converted their 15.0-RELEASE system to pkgbase. Has it gone successfully and was following the FreeBSD handbook enough to convert without issue ? Or should I just stick with freebsd-update until I'm forced to upgrade to pkgbase ?https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/cutting-edge/#_upgrading_a_host_using_freebsd_basePS I'm blaming @caleb@goodfeeds.net for peaking my interest and they are being held totally responsible if I break something. 🤪

    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as listed in project README.- Unfortunately, you could not build from main branch since the GTK4 version is a bit outdated in packages then set in project requirements, but version v.0.9.2 is fine (checkout the relevant tag).- Don't forget to install GNU gettext package which is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.

    Watch out for the `bastille monitor` command in our next release!This feature uses a `service status` check to verify that critical jailed services are running. If this check reports the service as down, Bastille will restart it automatically.In the event that it cannot restart the service, alerts can be configured.Usage: bastille monitor [enable|disable|status]bastille monitor TARGET [add|delete] service1,service2bastille monitor TARGET list [service]bastille monitor TARGET#FreeBSD
