Does pkgbase handle FreeBSD OS-specific updates on 15 and replace freebsd-update? I installed 15.0-BETA2 a little bit ago! Still setting stuff up, but no problem with i915kms and drm-66-kmod and 32-bit Wine (had to switch to non-devel though...

It looks like something needs a MySQL driver to know how to communicate with the DB? With nginx and PHP-FPM I install php84-mysqli

I ran win32 Classic Dota 2 on FreeBSD through Wine (notes), but differently than going through Steam, Proton, and Linux layers (I use steamcmd; both it and Dota 2 in 32-bit Wine prefix). I'm thinking similar flow could work for anything that...

i think Chromium is actually the least bloated out of all the Chromium-based browsers, i mean it's literally the base for them not saying it's not bloated, worth clarifying that'd be the opposite for me, i like Chromium's features so much that...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivaldi_(web_browser) makes it sound like Chromium with extras: Main Firefox was finally sketchy-enough with AI right-click contexts for me to bother uninstalling main-default and going ESR on Linux. Only thing I...

And many are trying to do the same with a bicycle, for over 100 years, reinventing the travel on 2 wheels. They started with steel frame, then various metal alloys and now composites. They redesigned the frame, gearing, handle bars, seat and...

Oh my, systemd has emojis? Doesn't surprise me, but I guess developers are getting younger and more phone-oriented. I doubt FreeBSD does it anywhere. I see it can be turned off in systemd, but it seems very systemd-ish to my, admittedly...

The FreeBSD User Handbook has a very well-written chapter on ports and packages to get you started. 😁

No. `make extract`, then compile the work tree on Gentoo to see whether that works.

Did you compile Chromium on Gentoo? If so you could cross-check whether compiling the distfile (no patches) from the FreeBSD port still works.

What reason is there to use Brave without the crypto rewards?

Brave (the browser) is a cryptobro malware. Don't.

worse, he invented javascript.

Great advice. I think fighting for a refund is wasted time.

While thread says "good amount of money" I have a feeling it was not that much. Enough to get angry for sure but not enough to sue a bank. One more "beer advice" I'll give -- consult this with a lawyer. 200-300EUR for consultation would be worth...

I mean me too to be honest. Some don't require 2FA for sure but CVV was sent (name+card #+cvv). But I know some don't and I think I was suprised like this before. But here only ZioMario knows what he was actually doing (hopefully) and what he...

Well, that is your opinion and you do have right to fight for it in the court of law. I'm not a lawyer, I can't advise on that. If we are drinking beer (or wine) together I'd tell you to forget about it and learn from your mistake.

I mentioned it now 3 times. Not all transactions require CVV. But yes, this is Mario-styled thread :) There are more questions than answers.

worse, he invented javascript.

The thing is it doesn't matter what kind of token generator you have, either hw or sw based. Problem here is that Mario sent his token to a 3rd party.

I don't use my phone to authorize logins or bank transfers. I don't have a bank app installed on my phone either. So if someone takes my phone or even steals it, they won't be able to do anything about my online banking.I only use FreeBSD and a...

If you want to dig into it here's a good start. Look for low value transactions and exemptions from strong customer authentication. But for the conversation here saying some payments are excluded is enough and it's a feature. As this is...

Yeah, you get the ease of switching branches and versions.

I welcome KDE option in the installer. - we used to have GUI installable years ago - KDE was initially inspired by CDE which is a true Unix thing - KDE on FreeBSD receives much effort nowadays. It is the farthest ahead in fat desktop...

FYI, there's an update and fix mentioned in the PR.

KDE ports team is being the most productive and it has the most attention among any other DE , so it is reasonable choice. If you make grep in git history in ports tree you will get what I mean. I am not a KDE proponent, I use wayland for many...

Original article here. Consider this when replying. Continue reading...

It's CVV, not CVC. I mentioned this before:

I don't think that is true. Ports has a pretty limited set of committers. Most original authors of the software in question do not have a commit bid and need another set of eyes on changes. Often you have three people: author, maintainer and...

Just did a test, this isn't the only file that gets in the way. You also need to rm /usr/include/c++/v1/__tuple And it seems the directory has to exist too, I was expecting it to create that directory if it didn't exist. install...

Good for you, that's that "do not require but may do so" part of the sentence. And that's why I said it's hard to argue over it. Law may say one thing but bank may do more to protect their clients.

My customer with their 1400 RHEL servers live in that world.

There's something to be said about all of these language package managers; doesn't make sense to me. I'd wager there'd be less incentive for these should the Linux community have uniformity on the matter. Long Live C and Ports.

Indeed, much of the Rust community really have no idea what they are talking about. They just repeat the words of their favorite youtuber. However, those in the Rust community who are experienced and knowledgeable have always been very clear...

What's making things worse is that many "non-professional nor non-enthusiast" users would be thinking "Rust is safe for every vulnerabilities!", even though Rust guys states "memory safe" only. So crates should be managed by Rust devs to be...

Once at a gas station in Mexico I authorized a fraudulent transaction by replying my bank's SMS to confirm it. Eventually my bank reimbursed it. One of my arguments was the fact that the SMS content was something like "Do you authorize this...

npm highlights if a dep is vulnerable or unmaintained. But its so common that people ignore it and pull crap in regardless. I imagine crates.io will be in a similar situation once it matures. But as mentioned earlier, dependencies do regularly...

It is an interesting question whether you should kick out libraries that are unmaintained and known vulnerable. Doing the kickout would make all projects using the library (even as an indirect dependency) fail to compile.

This opens the question of whether Apples are compare to Apples. Does the OP really run Linux with a full DE on a 1 GB RPi3b? If so, then FreeBSD can do it, too. Actually IMHO a bit better since I like FreeBSD's paging behavior better.

Yeah, to be precise Unix is an integrated development environment that is as good for executing the software as is for writing it on ;) BSD/FreeBSD is no different, if anything we stick to Unix gospel today more than the others.

Here is a CVE in a Rust library that can lead to remote code execution. To make things worse, the official crates contain several forks of the library with the error, at least one popular one of which is unmaintained since 2023 and doesn't have...

Grass is not greener on the other side. FTC data shows consiredable amount of money customers lost in fraud. But this is, as with many legal stuff, a bit hard to argue over. I tried to find gov site addressing this, found bank of atlanta page. I...

Yes, that's what I said, it has to be added to main first. Always.

^ that example is the worst example possible. Read up on it. McDonalds was clearly at fault, they did a smear campaign against the poor woman and now half of world believes USA "lawsuit culture" screwed over McDonalds.

I can just add - outside of OP's topic about FreeBSD - on the general subjects of server OS, you need to clearly understand heritage and market of some OS to be able to say this is "basic" or "advanced" over some feature. For example, FreeBSD...
