Personally, I'm okay with that. FreeBSD exists because people donate their time and/or money to keep the project alive, and get a great OS out of it. Content on the web would probably be of much smaller but much better quality if the "supported by ads" model went away.

Good point. I would also like add to this that no matter what the defaults are, there will always be some users that don't like some of them for whatever the reason. No matter how hard you try, it's just not possible to please everyone all of the time.

Most websites are not all websites though, and therein lies part of the problem, at least as far as I see it.

This is expected and a result of trying to mix ports and packages. You can make it work if you're knowledgeable enough but it's not recommended. If you want to use an updated Nvidia driver, assuming it works, you'll really want to use ports for everything and not packages or wait until the...

No need to apologize, We all were newbies at one time. :) Yes, there is also the older sc console driver. You can switch to it by changing kern.vty=vt to kern.vt=sc in your /boot/loader.conf file. That should allow you to change the console resolution with vidcontrol to a supported mode.

Changing the console resolution above 640x400 when using vt is only supported when using kernel mode setting(KMS) and is unfortunately only available for AMD and Intel GPUs at this time.

It would have been more helpful if he would have included links to discussions had in regards to his points. There may be valid reasons for some of them not mentioned.

<bikeshed> It looks too modern and colors are horrible. </bikeshed>

If you are able to let us know why you want to run VLC as root we might be able to offer an alternative way to get the same end result you're seeking.

I don't know if libreboot/coreboot works with FreeBSD, but this may be of some interest to you if it does.

You should get a ban for taking so long. ;)

The forums staff are aware the forums are slow. It will be sorted out in due time. Please be patient. I'm also unaware of what the problem is at this time in case anyone wants to ask.

For users that are having problems or have questions about Xorg and Nvidia GPUs, please create a new thread for your question in a support forum that would be more appropriate. If you have a question directly related to this Howto/FAQ, or have something to add to it, you are always still...

You could also instead use security/vlock as another option.

I've never used it, but maybe the net/wireshark-qt5 could work?

I was under the impression that fingerprinting also encompassed browser uniqueness as well. Is that not the case?

I block all cookies and most javascript most of the time with a few exceptions. Both can be convenient and useful to both users and websites but can also be used maliciously. Besides that, my online browsing habits are really none of anyone's business. That said I do understand their use and am...

I've been meaning to try Ardour out but lack of recording inputs(right now) and Windows VST plugin support has prevented that so far. I have a lot of paid Windows VST plugins I use mainly in Cubase. I guess you can get Windows VST plugin support under Ardour using WINE though I'd rather not go...

Maybe 207783 is relevant to this?

Hi. I haven't tried recording with an interface since making the original post so I'm really not sure what works or doesn't, sorry. Right now I use Windows for recording when I have the time. I do have a Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 USB 2.0 audio interface I am using for audio output on FreeBSD and...
