Found nvidia released New Feature Branch [NFB] of driver 575.64.05.
I've filed #FreeBSD Bug 288416 to update -devel variant of ports and opened corresponding review D51484. Working without new issue for me.

Yay, looks like Apple folks are happy to help with adding #FreeBSD as a supported container target for their macOS 26 container stuff!. Now I just need to find time to work on it (or persuade other people to…)

Bootstrap and update the latest FreeBSD release:

Fast, clean jail base prep.
all operating systems suck uniquely. find the one that sucks the least for you and use it. also, shut up about it.
EDIT: "shut up about it", is about OS proselytizing. share all you like, just don't pressure me to use what you use. it'd be hypocritical to say this as I certainly don't shut up about my love for OpenBSD.
Wrote a blogpost about simple (I mean with a shell and a text editor) #X11 configuration.
Covered topics:
1) #Trackball configuration for left hand. Also remapping of some buttons to have scrolling and middle button (not exists out of the box).
2) Theming: #GTK2 #GTK3 #QT , installing cursor(s), fonts and icons.
3) #Xrandr for multimonitor configuration
4) #Xserver settings for #HighDPI
5) #XDG utils and #Emacs as a system file manager
6) #XDM login window

Spent a bit of time this evening reverse engineering the Dockerfiles for AdventureLog so that I can run it “normally” on #FreeBSD (jailed, of course). Mostly there but ran out of time today for it. I’ll share my notes for it once I have it working.
"I’m not saying that a knowledge of promiscuous mode, fdisk, or window scaling leads to misery, but I will say that happy folks have no understanding of any of them."
