    My latest desktop build.

    And yet it just recently became a dependency of KDE5 (in addition to pulseaudio that is): $ grep "OPTIONS_DEFAULT" /usr/ports/graphics/spectacle/Makefile OPTIONS_DEFAULT= PIPEWIRE 💩 Why do port maintainers always have to enable each and every crap by default? Seriously.

    Solved Sharing network connection and assigning ips

    Setting gateway_enable="yes" in /etc/rc.conf will turn your machine into a gateway/router, i.e. it will then forward packets from one interface to another. In order to hand out IP addresses to machines on your local network, you need to run a dhcp server. There are various choices like...

    Games?

    Did you manage to get battle.net working? Last I tried it ran perfectly fine in single player, but as soon as I click the battle net button, game would hang.

    ISC DHCP server is EOL

    I took a look at Kea some time ago as an alternative to the aging isc-dhcpd, unfortunately my personal experience with it was a rather unpleasant one. Building Kea from source took ages compared to isc-dhcpd, the configuration file uses JSON and did not even allow for comments which makes it...

    Set proxy server for rc.d / periodic scripts?

    The solution that has worked for me since back then is to keep proxy setting environment variables in a separate file, which is either a static configuration file, or dynamically updated with values received via DHCP. This file is then sourced at the end of all these files: /etc/rc.conf...

    Solved loader.efi in EFI is not able to boot FreeBSD 13.0

    My understanding is that each disk/device is supposed to have it's own ESP. I believe the problem here is that loader.efi gets loaded from a different disk. If your second disk had it's own ESP containing loader.efi, rEFInd would probably find it there and go along with it, having the current...

    Why is the port plasma5-user-manager removed?

    Look in your home directory for a file named .face, that should be the actual image used.

    I have tried to enhance my FreeBSD desktop's security with some tweaks without knowing what they do ....Any other useful tweaks ?

    It talks about state matching, which I presume would include UDP, just not particularly 🥶

    I have tried to enhance my FreeBSD desktop's security with some tweaks without knowing what they do ....Any other useful tweaks ?

    From pf.conf: Furthermore, correct handling of ICMP error messages is critical to many protocols, particularly TCP. pf(4) matches ICMP error messages to the correct connection, checks them against connection parameters, and passes them if appropriate. For example if an...

    PF PF config suggestions - web server?

    You really want to convert these into tables, as those macros will expand to an unnecessarily large number of rules. Ruleset optimization might do that for you, but it's still better to do it right in the first place.

    plasma 5.23 already in [ latest]

    Just upgraded to plasma 5.23.1. Unfortunately I don't feel all that positive about the update: Several desktop switching effects including the desktop cube animation have been dropped, leaving only 2 effects available (fade and slide), which is a real shame. There are some efforts to bring back...

    Accessing CARP interface from localhost

    That seems to be the culprit. Prior to FreeBSD 13 this route used to point to the loopback interface lo0, now it instead points to the physical interface. I'm seeing similar behaviour with an apache web server running on an alias IP, a setup I haven't touched in many years and up to FreeBSD 12.2...

    Accessing CARP interface from localhost

    Is your CARP server by chance running on an IPv4 alias address? There have been changes to the way routes for alias IP addresses are created in FreeBSD 13, up to FreeBSD 12.2 these routes would point to the loopback interface, now they dont, check netstat -rn for the particular address and note...

    windows bsd dual boot

    +1 on using rEFInd, I've been using it for quite some time now and it works like a charm. Only on one occasion after a windows update, it had messed with the boot loader, so that the machine would boot straight into windows. But it had not overwritten the EFI partition but merely pointed the...

    Solved NO_COLOR: output with ANSI colour by default, good or bad?

    Having or not having colored output should be controlled by the presence/absence of the corresponding features in the termcap/terminfo entry of the terminal type you are using, not by means of yet another environment variable, which only adds to confusion. If you dislike colors, use a...

    No color (VT driver)

    Nope, I even grep'd through all the manpages in /usr/share/man and did not find anything related to those teken options, but it's clearly in the source code. The fact that my kernels now display in boring white/grey colors showed up pretty quickly when updating from 12.2 to 13.0, as I had used...

    No color (VT driver)

    Those options used to work up to FreeBSD 12.x, unfortunately despite still being documented, as of FreeBSD 13 they do not. There are some loader tunables available, but you will find they do not quite accomplish the thing you want: teken.fg_color teken.bg_color Setting these will not only...

    Google now forces you to allow JS for search results

    Also for a couple months now, the no-country-redirect version of google that I've been using for many years - at least occasionally - is now defunct. It just shows you the localized version with a link on the right side "Looking for results in english?" that gets you to the settings page, which...

    Change motherboard time from UTC to LOCAL in bsdinstall

    You can make Windows interpret the mainboard's time as UTC too with a simple registry setting. Here is a batch file to do it, alternatively just add/change the value using REGEDIT. @ECHO OFF ECHO Configuring Windows to interpret CMOS clock as UTC ... REG ADD...
