I did something silly. I started backing up my primary #FreeBSD desktop after .. ~30 years. First installed in ~1996 and incrementally upgraded since then. Hardware, OS upgrades, CPU, etc.
Why? Because I'm working on some irritations with pkgbase/pkg and I've footgunned twice already.

Ack, noted. Fortunately the machine doesn't care too much. I let them build with MAKE_JOBS etc and let it grind at >100 load avg for a while. I even priority boost to get them to build as soon as possible to unblock downstream builds.
I'm more concerned at just how much downstream they block.

That delightful time when you look at your #FreeBSD poudriere pkg build progress and see the simultaneous compilation of llvm14, llvm15, llvm17, llvm18 and llvm19. I don't know why llvm16 was left out.

Young friendly cat stretching on my lef for attention.
I know I posted this on Reddit a few weeks ago but here is our regular backyard visitor, who would still like it to be known that he has never been fed in his entire life. #nmc #cats #notmycat

So i was tinkering with porting something to #freebsd and ran face-first into cgroups. Oh boy. That is one deep rabbit hole.

Is there anything in particular that is giving you trouble? I've mainly used it to bridge epair interfaces for vnet jails to ethernet.
