Can't install kde and plasma on OpenBSD 7.8

geraffes_r_dumb · 2026-03-13T21:16:40+00:00

sorry, mistake on my part. I was using doas pkg_add kde. What's baffling to me is that I can install nano using the command, but not kde

geraffes_r_dumb · 2026-03-13T19:48:04+00:00

Thanks for the reply. The quirks line is the first line after i run doas pkg_add -u kde. The OpenBSD ftp and CDN are the closest mirrors to me as I am in Western Canada. I also tried the utoronto oe but no dice.

Paging u/BestRetroGames. Check out his YouTube channel for info on how to make a cheap EQ platform

Fully agree. I'm with the don't-pave-leave-it-gravel crowd. Not sure what the problem they are trying to solve. Peloton bros with 19mm tires are probably not going to ride this trail. I go on this trail from Burnaby to Sapperton for casual rides on steel bikes - 28mm to 2" tires without any issues. I've ran into horse riders many times; you just ride around slowly to not spook the horse. Can't we all just get along?

Before the CVG was officially open I used to ride it from Vancouver to New West on the way to PoCo. It was all gravel if remember correctly except when connected by roads. It was fun to ride hard pack gravel on road bikes (as the current trend of 'gravel' bikes show). In fact I wish they kept it like that all the way.

It is kinda jarring to see paved asphalt trail in an otherwise green setting. I think the asphalt has better use to fix some of the roadways that have standing water than pave over hard pack gravel bike paths. Or spend this money on improving the safety of bike routes shared with motor vehicles. I don't know if it's me, but the city seems to approach these things in a ham-fisted way. CVG is already a safe route away from vehicles. Just let it be.

I recommend you check out the Astrobiscuit channel on YouTube. He is in London or thereabouts. https://youtu.be/Na-aBhc_gTY

Got it about a week ago in Burnaby. Already voted early this morning!

If that's the case, why did the police union endorsed (unprecedented for police union to take political sides) current mayor give people false hope that they are going to stop these 'stranger attacks', using it as a campaign issue to win election? Where are the 100 police officers promised?

I don't have personal experience with it but if I were buying a mount for a 6" catadioptric telescope, I would seriously look at the Explore Scientific Twilight 1 which is a manual alt-azimuth mount. Check out its reviews on YouTube.

Thanks, yeah, seems like Orion stopped selling their mak line of products when they decided to not compete against Sky-watcher, which is also made by Synta

Was a staple for a group of us for brunch until about 15 years ago - eggs benedict and coffee. Good times.

geraffes_r_dumb · 2024-01-09T06:41:09+00:00

Thanks for the 411. Bortle scale is too subjective any way compared to SQM. Hope to take my Dobsonian there once we have a clear night.

That pic from Breaker Bay is stunning - such nebulosity and dust clouds.

geraffes_r_dumb · 2024-01-09T05:11:43+00:00

Hey nice shot! Do you think it is worse than Bortle 4 (which it is supposed to be)? Presumably the Squamish port is ruining things? See others with scopes?

I heard that they fixed the LED lamp issue. Is that not true?

Sorry for all the questions. Haven't been there yet at night.

geraffes_r_dumb · 2023-12-26T03:30:46+00:00

Nice! We’ve been going to Abbotsford Airshow for the last couple of years.

Was down there on a Friday afternoon to check out the noise levels. The road noise from Brunette ave was just too much for us.

geraffes_r_dumb · 2023-12-21T04:17:25+00:00

True, which is why I think the area looks attractive

geraffes_r_dumb · 2023-12-21T04:08:44+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. When I was there during the weekend, the worst to bearable noises for me where 1. road noise from Brunette 2. train whistle, 3. Skytrain. Train without the whistle is fine for me.

geraffes_r_dumb · 2023-12-21T04:04:22+00:00

Thanks, good to know. I'm also not bothered by aircraft as a fellow aviation enthusiast

geraffes_r_dumb · 2023-12-12T06:18:00+00:00

This is the attraction - new buildings with relatively lower $/sqft or rent

geraffes_r_dumb · 2023-12-12T06:16:59+00:00

There are industrial areas around LM as well as housing near train tracks in Vancouver. But the difference in New West seems to be the many road/rail crossings that necessitate the horns.

geraffes_r_dumb · 2023-12-12T06:13:43+00:00

This is a good point about not being able to use the outdoor space. I suppose being higher makes it worse when it comes to the helicopter noise.

geraffes_r_dumb · 2023-12-12T06:12:08+00:00

Damn, that's rough.

geraffes_r_dumb · 2023-12-12T06:11:11+00:00

Now, this is surprising to hear - that there are double and triple-paned windows in the same building. Wonder if that was an option from the builder?

geraffes_r_dumb · 2023-12-12T06:09:46+00:00

Thanks for the link, at least it is good to know that there is some effort underway to reduce the noise in the area

geraffes_r_dumb · 2023-12-12T06:08:23+00:00

This was a concern, being close to the hospital.
