Happy Friday #FreeBSD
I would assume all of the chatbots do this unless it is proven otherwise.
XOrg is dead! Long live XLibre!
Congrats on the journey.
When the pandemic hit, I put on a ton of weight. It's been a long journey, but since summer 2022 (when I was at my heaviest around 320 pounds), I've lost over 80 pounds!
For a man of 6'3", I'm actually approaching what I'd consider a healthy weight.
I was able to lose the weight thanks to Noom. It set me on the right path, taught my healthy habits, and held me accountable. Not sponsored, btw.

I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
