I'm very interested in this subject, especially complete system that could potentially be built (board and all) at home. I actually asked on NetBSD's IRC channel if there were any supported chips that were LQFP packaged, and I got directed to the Olimex site...

The Recycle Bin used to be at the bottom-rightmost tile, but now it's at the top left. There must have been an attacker because I sure wasn't the one who resized my desktop... Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Can installing an IDS really help me at this stage, or are these suggestions for...

Hi, After playing with my router in an attempt to open my server up to the outside world, I gave up after failing to ever get an SSH connection via my external IP address. Assuming it was a no go, and the ISP wasn't allowing it, I just left everything "open" as it wasn't working anyway...

Now that's just too simple! It's effectively like a dd then? Thanks for that :) To chip in to the discussion, the only way to know for sure is to put two servers next to each other and compare the performance. What might work for someone else might not work for you.

Interesting read. That article mentioned using a hard drive and a memory stick as a tape drive, in order to transfer data between FreeBSD and Linux. Please could someone tell me how this is achieved? I.e., is a raw tarball being written to the drives without an underlying filesystem? Sorry for...

I would like to question whether vi really is all that useful on FreeBSD for developing. I have attempted to try to use this in the past, but have found it's ctags and cscope support quite limiting. Lack of Exuberant ctags support, coupled with the :cs and :ta commands taking the user directly...

I've been interested in this before (I was limited to Windows at the time), and the solution I came up with was SDL, which is also portable, but I guess it's much higher level than the console libs mentioned here (your SDL program would either get it's own "window", or you could make it full...

Hi, I've been wondering what home automation servers are out there, and what hardware support is like for them. Is there anybody here who has experience with any of them? Obviously I'd like something the will run on FreeBSD, but it seems that Linux is quite popular with Home Automation so...

Hi all, I thought I'd bring this one up again as I'm struggling a bit and I've not been able to find help elsewhere. Basically I've really taken to cscope and ctags, but I've not been able to get any confirmation on nvi's cscope integration capabilities. Using :cs find s <symbol> will...

I experienced something similar. vlc didn't show cover art until I installed MusicBrainz audio/picard.

I have also noticed that whenever I try a https link to the forums, my browser complains about the certificate. I don't really understand how https works, but if I'm correct, it's not that there is a problem with it, but the certificate isn't registered. Is this correct?

I've seen people advising the use of sudo, and I've seen people advising to avoid sudo. Which should I do? I can only see it's advantages. Sorry for the off topic. If this has already been discussed, please could someone link to it? Otherwise, I'll probably make a thread as I'd really like to...

Why? Just curious.

I know about this method but I wasn't actually referring to that one. There is a tool(s) called xcodebuild which allows compilation from the command line on the development computer. It's not native development but it allows removal from the IDE. I think I will post on the lists. I'm...

Absolutely, I wouldn't really class these as embedded platforms anyway (well obviously they are, but when you're developing apps for iphones and such you're not really doing embedded development - you're just developing). Right tool for the right job. However, in situations where I'm not forced...

I am in agreement with points others have raised against your argument for IDE. I'm also interested in embedded development so it is very realistic that I might one day have to develop on a 'toaster'. I like the idea of having a set of tools that I can take absolutely anywhere. What IDE do...

I achieve a similar thing by creating a script called m in ~/bin (added to $PATH of course) and hitting :!m inside vi. I think it's faster and neater, though I do multiplex too. As for using mc, interesting suggestion, I've not used it yet. Seems like a reasonable tool to browse source...

Thanks for all the replies so far! Please keep them coming! Please could you give some real-world scenarios and examples as to why you think this? I have never been keen on emacs due to the 'chord-like' way of operating it. I have also heard of cases of RSI being caused by emacs (I like my...

I've recently started a new job working as a software developer. It's a very non-invasive environment, in that we're allowed to use whatever tools we want to get the jobs done. I'm very interested in using terminal solutions if it's possible, but with my limited knowledge, it's extremely...
