Snyder Brunell with the post-game interview???

Who did the chickensh** thing and made the lowest paid guy on the field deal with the humiliation? Before tonight, it never occurred to me to make one of my interns apologize for one of my f***ups.

ediff excruciatingly slow when rendering files

Ediff-directories is quick at identifying identical files for hiding but opening up files to look at differences is appallingly slow. I initially thought it was file size but (anecdotally) it doesn't seem like file size matters. I then thought it was due to the number of changes to display but I (anecdotally) don't think that matters either. I'm on 30.2 on ARM64 and {C-h f} ediff-files shows the function as a native-comp-function so I expect the diff handling is fast. At this point, I'm thinking either file hooks or syntax highlighting a problem but there seems to be a decent lag on even small (e.g 4-5k) files.

What thoughts do people have on what might be causing this?

15.0 -> 15.1 upgrade

As always, I appreciate the work people did in the system and user's guide as the upgrades worked flawlessly.

Several documentation notes:

  • the sysctl machdep.bootmethod command failing with an unknown oid indicates you're using UEFI.
  • mention that the msdosfs filesystem underlying the boot partition is case-insensitive so the cp commands might vary.
  • now that the install's more complicated due to the two packaging methods--legacy distribution sets or pkg--and the addition of the boot sector upgrades. I'd consider creating a freebsd-upgrade plan command that the user runs first that generates a tailored upgrade plan.

In any case, thanks for the release!

Fracap low top with glued leather insole peeling up

I have a pair of Fracap low top's where the part (really thin leather and I think it's mostly cosmetic) of the insole immediately under the wearer's heel is starting to come unglued on one of the shoes. I have a few questions:

  • how difficult is something like this to repair? If it's easy, how would someone start the repair?
  • If I repaired it myself, how much more difficult would it make a future resole?
  • if shoe repair places typically do this, how involved is it?
  • if I just left it alone, how annoying could this be? Right now, it lifts up a couple of inches and I expect it'll get worse.

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

Unread message signal in a chat with yourself

Imagine the following use case:

* user sets up a workflow trigger on an email subject.
* action is simple—send a message to myself.

It works but with one supremely annoying and surprising caveat—there’s no _Unread_ message notification so I might as well not have bothered.

Note: I get that there are other ways to do the notification so **bold** shows up. It’s just that Teams’ workflows seem to choose the Principle of Most Astonishment.

FreeBSD15.0 upgrade

I have an ARM64 pet VM running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure that I've upgraded numerous times since ~April 2022 (I think the original version was 13.0). While the whole process took about an hour, the quality of the documentation and accompanying smooth experience was gratifying.

Appreciate everyone who works to keep the OS experience satisfying.
