    net/minidlna: newly added files?

    I use this port and I have the same issue, but I don't think it is FreeBSD specific because if you look around other people on various Linux report the same. I just restart the service when I add new files. I was using minimserver before this and it required restart when adding file to, so I...

    Seagate Hard disk randomly keeps turning on and off

    I've had this issue in the past with green drives and FreeBSD. The only way I could ever really solve the issue was to find out how long it took for the drive to "sleep" and create a cron job that would touch a temp file on the drive to keep the drive "awake". So if the drive sleeps after 5...

    useless system

    Back in the FreeBSD 4.x, days I remember this, 5.x might have still had it but 5 was kind of wonky. Then there was what I call the Apple exodus and wonky got wonky. There even used to be a port called instant-workstation which was maintained by Greg "groggy" Lehey. I think now a quick...

    how do I email or communicate between two iMacs?

    I second this method. And note that Filezilla works on all the BSDs I have (Free, Open, DragonFly), Mac OS and Windows (7 through 10) just incase you want something with a GUI to do your FTPing.

    Solved Two disks, two OS, problem with boot

    I would suggest that you use your system BIOS menu for any multiple disk setup. When you system is booting you should be able to get a boot menu or system menu. On my specific motherboard pressing F12 gives a menu of all the disks in my machine and I then just select which I want to boot. I...

    nvidia gpu

    Optimus supported out of the box? OpenBSD more attractive desktop with Nvidia? I'm going to need more detail on these. Out of the box, so you didn't install the binary nvidia drivers and were using the vesa driver? And OpenBSD has no support for Nividia as there is not an nvidia binary driver...

    How (not) to build .NET coreclr on FreeBSD

    Yeah, the just ignore me now anyway. I've been trying almost 20 to get them to move away from MS lockin. A FreeBSD/Apache webserver was the closest I ever got. Also trying to get them to replace pizza parties with prime rib parties and that not going well either :(

    How (not) to build .NET coreclr on FreeBSD

    Thank you. This all makes senses to me. I was looking at it from the MS likes to lock people in and .Net seems to do that so why get rid of it. Enterprise wise, when I 1st started everything we did was desktop apps (C++ then Delphi). But now everything is going web based because the C titles...

    How (not) to build .NET coreclr on FreeBSD

    I totally agree, and use it for everything I can. But I working in a corporate environment that has this huge contract with MS so I have no choice in large projects. But for smaller apps that no one cares about I use Go when I can and for any personal programming.

    How (not) to build .NET coreclr on FreeBSD

    Perhaps this should be another thread or off topic or something, but I'm really curious as to why you are so certain about .Net being dropped. I know MS is a business and they do stuff like this to keep people buying things they don't want or need, but this almost seems like a fatal business...

    Microsoft Is Said to Have Agreed to Acquire Coding Site GitHub

    This is the part that I don't understand. How is github possibly worth this much? I can't see the metadata on users being anywhere near this valuable. The 1st thought to cross my mind, can call me a conspiracy nut or what not, is that someone section of Microsoft is going to be combing the...

    screen of one monitor goes black when X Windows starts on dual monitor configuration on a single radeon card

    Your xrandr.txt reports Display-0 as not being connected. You probably need to tell xrandr how to active it. try something like n an terminal window and see if it activates it: xrandr --output Display-0 --auto --output HDMI-0 --auto --right-of Display-0 When I ran multi-screens with a Radeon...

    Other Editor which allows marking and copying

    vi/vim. v - enter the visual mode. move with cursor to select block. y - copy (or yank in vi terms). d - cut. p is simpliest paste in. Look up yanking and pasting in vi for more.

    FreeBSD Screen Shots

    I haven't posted one of these in a long time. But since I switched to portait mode (3600x1920 overall) I thought I would. I'm really a minimalist now and days. Clean desktop...just i3 And faux working...xterms, gvim teaching myself Go and vimb browsing

    Closed Is the community become fragile?

    Thank you, this is how I feel bad not offended, I've had the same type of experiences with regards to me saying black and being corrected because that's offensive.

    Closed Is the community become fragile?

    John Marino was the specific latest incident I was thinking of. From my read of all the matterials made public someone accussed him, the project took that persons side and removed John's permissions when he asked for clarification and example of what he did wrong, and clarification was...

    Closed Is the community become fragile?

    Well, I been using dragonFly and I like that...but I screwed up my install doing stuff with hammer that I didn't understand. I have always like OpenBSD but have all nvidia cards otherwise it would be that. As for how it effects me...it more personal, I guess. As a person who probably...

    Closed Is the community become fragile?

    Except that in every known instance so far just being accused has made the person guilty with no recourse and has weakened the project in my opinion. I've used FreeBSD since 1997 and maintained ports and help debug drivers for release and I'm actively moving away. Just my $0.02.

    How many different programming languages do you use?
