    Experience unix for 50 years

    Thanks for that. Something similar that I found was from "The Hacker's Choice", a hacker group from Germany I used to follow a long time ago, they offer free, temporary root shells to play around with. The login for ssh is root@segfault.net password is 'segfault' https://www.thc.org/segfault/

    Back to debian

    I've been using Linux on the desktop for many years, it is much more comfortable than Windows to me at this point (I have no experience with Mac). FreeBSD is not much different from Linux, certainly not when it comes to user interfaces. If you are unable to understand how to use it, or don't...

    Which book to read ?

    I was reading this book "Weaveworld" , didn't finish it yet, still have a little to go. It's by Clive Barker, the mind behind the movie "Hellraiser" which is based on the book he wrote "The Hellbound Heart" (which is where my avatar comes from btw). Great books, both "Weaveworld" (so far)...

    If you were an Unix / FreeBSD tool, what tool would you be ?

    I would have to be audio/rhythmbox, mainly just because I use it all the time and could not live without it. Although everything is starting to move to streaming and I am starting to use Apple Music more and more, I could not do without my massive collection of mp3 files that I have been...

    Back to debian

    I can understand being frustrated, FreeBSD can piss me off sometimes too. Debian and FreeBSD are my two favorite operating systems. Maybe continue to use FreeBSD on a system that you don't actually need to use on a day to day basis? Like some old computer that is just lying around collecting...

    Solved Poudriere compiles too many packages when I update

    Ok, thanks. So if that is the case then it would make sense to update packages a lot less frequently. When using portmaster I would update around once per day, some times more often. If it is going to pull in so many packages into the compilation process with each update it would make sense...

    Solved Poudriere compiles too many packages when I update

    Hello, I am having an issue where when I update my packages using Poudriere, it winds up updating almost every package on my system, or at least a fair number of them, every time I update using Poudriere. For instance, there may only be a handful of packages that actually need updating, say...

    Why do you use FreeBSD on desktop?

    That was my experience when I used gentoo many years ago. There were all kinds of issues with "masking" and "emerge" would fail all the time for various types of reasons. At least when something fails on FreeBSD it is not too hard to figure out what the problem is and the fix is relatively...

    Utilize all cores during ports compilation

    Thank you everyone for your replies. Removing MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes did it. I am looking into poudriere right now. Currently getting it set up. But my original problem is solved.
