@justine I would love to run BSD but I game and not everything on Steam works as expected on Linux and I fell into the base + Flatpak in $home workflow over time.

A lot of people will say the infrastructure changes a lot, but the vast majority of innovations have resulted in improvements to my flow so I go with it. Being a well seasoned user whose been daily driving Linux since the days of KDE 2.x back when SUSE came in a box, I have to say the experience gets better all the time.

That being said, I do love me some BSD and its always good to know the Unix-like landscape still has a lot of options.

@justine being interested about radiocomms since my teens (well… 30y ago!) I’ve been reading a lot about radio navigation and marine HF broadcasting.
Did you have the chance to fix/install HF Radiofacsimile devices? To me, these devices were just « KISS » principle applied. I get great pleasure from decoding these broadcasts at home, while I have no special interest in marine weather itself. I think the analogue FSK principle of the device appeals me, (much more than JPEG), and the free over-the-air HF broadcasting, far from any satellite usage fee, for the public interest of safety, seems so fundamental to me. I guess It matches basic principles of « open source » « free software », and that might explain my interest in both utility broadcasting and free software. Long life to HFFAX ! Long life to RTTY/SYNOP and others ! Some day, as it was the case with LW broadcasting, DWD will stop emitting, because of costs or « obsolescence ». This day will be a hard day for me. Until some satellites get targeted by some enemy and maybe shortwave will regain some unexpected love…
