====== Introduction ======

I attempt little and accomplish still less with great success.

====== Canary ======

  - I have NEVER committed a code change to any free software project (including %%FreeBSD%%) as a result of being contacted or forced by a government organisation;
  - I have NEVER received a warrant from any government organisation;
  - I have NEVER received a gag order;
  - I have NEVER received a National Security letter.

====== Other FreeBSD projects/goals (or) why we can't have nice things ======

  * at(1) correct "+ 1 minute"
  * modularize Jails configs
  * Document %%SuperMicro%% secondary GPT mishandling on some hardware
    * ...and firmware upgrades via %%FreeDOS%%, if possible
  * see about getting more things linked into writeable /tmp in the live environment
    * in doing so, we can do things like set a root password and launch sshd to ease remote installs
    * sshd_config, passwd, master.passwd, what else?
  * Document running Poudriere in jails.
  * Document T420 setup notes
    * Correct DRM, kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=6, synaptics, sound, etc.
    * kld_list acpi_ibm, coretemp, i915kms, what else?
    * Current hurdles:
      * <del>maybe figure out why Linux can run xbacklight with an X tweak, while we need intel_backlight</del>
        * this last is largely obviated by backlight(8) as of %%FreeBSD%% 13
      * Thinkpad charge thresholds
        * [[https://github.com/sghctoma/thinkpad-smapi]]
      * Speaker selection for videochat
      * Sound loopback to work with, e.g., v4l-via-webcamd
      * odd issues with barrier(1) not passing keystrokes without a fresh connection
      * NOAUTO regression - see [[https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=256767|BZ#256767]]
  * Understand/document usbhid handling and set-up for (e.g.) Logitech Illuminated Keyboard.
  * <del>barrier(1) keyboard mapping snafu</del>
    * History: autogenerated options from GUI worked fine on Debian, but not %%FreeBSD%%.
    * Removing all options yielded a working config - see the [[https://github.com/albertony/barrier/wiki/Command-Line#text_config|Barrier config]] wiki
  * system beep control - sleep/wake and xset b, etc.
    * I like the backlight(8) approach
  * submit patch for better hostname explanatory text in installer (id est, encourage FQDN)
  * Things I want that GNU/Linux does (although "is it POSIX?" is a useful question to apply to some):
    * dmesg(8) -w and -T
    * date(1) -d
    * ability to control characteristics of system beep, both via xset b and without X - e.g., beeo on acpi events
    * automatic detection of filesystem types when trying to mount them
    * mount(8)
      * automatic use of fstyp(8)
      * show NFS protocol version
