(This is a general remark, but it goes for a blog post like this as well.)

But jails of course are older and can be used on their own, I didn’t want to imply they’re the same thing

In general everything needs to be compiled for FreeBSD, but the ports collection is quite extensive. For example you will find Firefox, wayland, GNOME, KDE, xfce, … even dotnet was on there.

Problems arise with properietary stuff like Spotify, Widevine DRM etc. However, FreeBSD has a Linux emulation layer (providing syscalls), dubbed ‘Linuxulator’. I managed to run the Spotify Linux desktop client but the Spotify website wouldn’t let me log in, didn’t research further. AFAIK the emulator is limited though, not implementing all syscalls.

There is also podman for FreeBSD and in addition to running FreeBSD containers (using Jails under the hood I guess?) it can run Linux containers as well (using the Linuxulator in addition then?).

It also comes with a hypervisor called bhyve if you want to run VMs

There is a handbook on their website describing how to set up a system (including desktop environment) if you want to give it a go.

Happy to provide you with a full CV personally.

:term to open a terminal in a new vim window (or :vert term)

Standard window movements apply (by default the window prefix is Ctrl-W), most important are: Ctrl-W,{hjkl} to switch between windows, Ctrl-W,{<>+-} to resize windows, Ctrl-W,{HJKL} to move windows to edges, Ctrl-W,{qc} to (force) close windows

Enter normal mode of a terminal buffer with Ctrl-W,N: now you can perform vim motions and scroll the output

Enter insert mode with i and you can type into the terminal again

In insert mode: Ctrl-W "x to paste register x, Ctrl-W . to send a literal Ctrl-W. If too annoying, you can change the window prefix of vim

This goes for vim, neovim also has a terminal mode but it works differently I think

But it definitely used to be possible, I tried once with success.

Anti spoofing for incoming mails was not perfect the last time I checked either, but is a different issue.

Standard-conforming IPv6 at most allows prefix translation (i.e., proper NAT, not PAT), which wouldn’t need it.

Was hoping for the new iPhone Fold (with Touch ID even) to be small but looks like it’s going to be a really weird ratio when folded.

Of course there are caveats: - Spotify not getting app updates anymore (but still playing fine)

- some websites do not support the Safari version, e.g. GitHub

- most banking apps are not supported

Take it with a grain of salt, I’m not really knowledgeable about this.

E: also note the section about prime number squares below

Wouldn’t the additional frequencies be inaudible with the original frequencies still present? Why would that sound nasty?
