I had a couple R40s for FreeBSD work for a long time. Sadly they all died (wouldn't turn on anymore).

The Foundation wants to hire somebody to take care of the graphics stack: https://freebsdfoundation.org/open-positions/freebsd-graphics-stack-developer-position/

GOOD NEWS, IT WORKED! here's the patched patch file: https://termbin.com/aom9

... so what's wrong with 15.0-BETA2 now? Not booting in ventoy-1.1.05 Whats the correct mountroot device?

Hmm, looking at the port, it should modify the man page: @${REINPLACE_CMD} -e "s|%%PREFIX%%|${PREFIX}|g" -e "s|%%LOCALBASE%%|${LOCALBASE}|g" \ -e "s|\(/etc/profile\)|${PREFIX}\1|g" \ ${WRKSRC}/doc/bash.1 And indeed, locally I have that...

I want a Lenovo W500! Wacom digitizer (looks perfect for osu! :p) and a second screen on slide-out! I had a T500 and liked the bulk of it. Acer Predator 21 X looks fun :p

It's used by sh, which is included in the base OS (and set as the default shell nowadays). Bash isn't. It's built and installed using the LOCALBASE prefix, which is /usr/local on FreeBSD. So $LOCALBASE/etc/profile points to...

It is the most complicated driver ever.

No need.

I don't have a 4, so can't test that.

I did use older FreeBSD images on various Pis. There were no steps other than burning the SD card. It boots into a full OS, there is no installer. Which Pi do you have, exactly?

For PC laptops the most important feature is a good return policy.

We have tiers for programming languages? Rust should work just fine most of the time because it is needed by quite a few ports. If Rust breaks a lot of people get notified.

Gogogo. If you can make this work that would be a very valuable patch for the FreeBSD port.

I'd say the most expensive laptop is the one you buy and that can not do what you want it to do.

It's where the sponsors wanted the money to go. The GUI work is not that laptop specific, though.

It is the most complicated driver ever.

Thank you. Can I update releases consistently? (13.2 -> 13.3 etc.)

It's '14.3-RELEASE' and '13.2-RELEASE', not '14.3' and '13.2'. And it's the wrong way around, your jail is currently running 13.2-RELEASE and you want to upgrade (-r) to 14.3-RELEASE.

Zio did you call the bank to block the card?

I will be able to go on with my FreeBSD projects and with my life even if I've lost the money. I'm a strong man.

Also what we could try to do, is make a SD card image of already-setup FreeBSD for some Raspberry Pi, with the choice of software Peter would like to have.

It is a FreeBSD users forum, so it's natural we'll be a bit defensive. Consider we will always advocate FreeBSD usage. Somebody being curious, then falling out quickly, will naturally ignite some responses. However it's all fine and civil...

FreeBSD is a bit like "Windows Core" or "Busybox+Linux". The user installs what they need from scratch. This is perfect for people who don't want i.e a GUI desktop but does mean that those that do, need to install the extra packages themselves...

The one that bought must return the product. I hope he did not give the name of ZioMario as the buyer ... But this is very probably, the thief wants to keep his name secret.

It's '14.3-RELEASE' and '13.2-RELEASE', not '14.3' and '13.2'. And it's the wrong way around, your jail is currently running 13.2-RELEASE and you want to upgrade (-r) to 14.3-RELEASE.

As said, for payment in internet, I use an account in one of these new smartphone banks, neobanks, without any credit line, only with a small deposit. Now that there is in EU real time transfer, you can transfer to it just short before a bigger...

4 Months ago I bought 2x12TB WD Red Plus HDDs. Since 1 week ago I got a unrecovable read geli error on one of the HDDs, and I thought, I will scrub the HDDs. That error went away, but now I get on the same HDD the same error. This is a snippet of...

The case has been solved just right now. I found the smoking gun. I received a spoofed email that looked like it came from my bank, and I clicked the link. I even found on the history the fake webpage showed on that email,so it's sure that I...

Short update for 15.0-RELEASE, I've just tested this with 15.0-BETA2: - jlduran@ has imported blocklist 2025/04-/28 in https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=e2dcc9fc4 - upstream has renamed blacklistd -> blocklistd so we have followed suit...

Also very rare... I remember X62 (!!) It's very special :) https://www.notebookcheck.net/X62-Laptop-Review.211598.0.html Sadly, seems https://www.51nb.com/ does not exist now. I'm still hoping for a motherboard upgrade for X220 or X201!

OK - I was not specific enough - ThinkPad T25 with ANSI US keyboard.

Now I must go to start my day job, wish you guys a good day.

My GPUs did the hard-work of mining for a bit :p

I wonder if C programming and driver dev could be learned on-the-job? Looks like an exciting position!

Please show us the output of gpart show -p gpart list zpool list -v

That's the thing (I think :p): You don't need a centralized bank! If I understand right, with a hardware wallet you're the only one with access to the funds. Using an exchange like a bank with crypto sounds questionable.

A number of years ago I would/could snap that up right away.

Is getting into Bitcoin or cryptocurrency an option? Hardware wallets sound secure (I have an imKey Pro).

You still need to do the install part of the upgrade. freebsd-update -r <some_version> upgrade downloads and prepares the upgrade, it doesn't make any changes yet. That happens with freebsd-update <options> install.

Guild Wars 2 works on FreeBSD 15.0-BETA2! Used wine-10.0 (non-devel), latest DXVK-master, and winetricks arial View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUjOF7qfdk0

The bank apps I've dealt with in the US don't care about a Google account, but the expected device integrity (and getting it from Play Store) likely requires a sign-in. If your bank is cool they'd provide an apk from their servers (I'm not aware...

I have a Windows VM with IP address 192.168.0.77. I use this tcpproxy.conf rule, on a FreeBSD server, for accessing this VM from Internet via Wireguard: listen * 3390...

You've installed Cinnamon but configured .xinitrc to start LXQT. Replace "startlxqt" with "cinnamon-session". Redirect the screen output into a file, example: startx >& xorg.log. This log file can then be sent to a text storage site. I.e.: cat...

Maybe it makes sense to list the releases in order of release and update each one in turn?

.

Now there are some things, that contain security issues - responsibilities - by your side that may seem not so obvious at the first glance: First You re-acted on something sent to you. When and if I do banking transactions I am the one who shoots...

Yes. Yes. But I did these manipulations, and after mergin the files that need to be merged (combined?) jail stops loading. In 'data' jail userland is for 14.2, as I understand. But freebsd-version displays 13.2. After freebsd-update -b...

Playing a MMORPG provides useful lessons :p (phishing attempts is like 101 on Runescape)

with mount -t ext2fs -o rw /dev/ada0p3 /mnt/ada0p3 I've got operation not permitted. fuse-ext2 -o uid=1001 -o force /dev/ada0p3 /mnt/ada0p3 works fine.
