VR Sverige AB has ordered 81 #Solaris Urbino 15 LE electric buses for suburban routes in #Stockholm, with deliveries expected in the second quarter of 2026. These Class II, low-entry vehicles are designed for both urban and intercity travel, featuring spacious interiors, advanced safety systems, and high-capacity Solaris High Energy batteries for extended range. Fully electric and emission-free at the point of use, they support the region’s shift towards sustainable transport. The order follows a successful collaboration in Kristianstad and marks VR’s first major partnership with Solaris. Once delivered, Stockholm will have 225 Solaris electric #buses in operation, further cementing Solaris’s role in Sweden’s transition to zero-emission mobility.

I’ve been working on a #freebsd from scratch blog post series and was going to skip right over Xorg (preferring #wayland and #sway)…and then I heard about #NSCDE - a reimplementation of #Solaris #CDE look-and-feel via #fvwm

Thanks to work by Christian Moerz, it was a snap. Literally `pkg install Xorg nscde` a change to my .xinitrc and I was up in a pastel bliss again. Run #interlisp on it is a beautiful joy.

I was so impressed AND I got to avoid abandonware security holes and bit rot— so I sent some librepay love. It’s a great project!
