    How is your prompt engineering?

    This starts to look like Nvidia has found a way to rent out it's hardware instead of selling it. cracauer@ how many month of AI would you rent for the price of that card?

    Do you use FreeBSD on metal as your daily driver? Which version? What DE or WM do you use? Do you run any other OS alongside or virtually?

    I use the ones with optional sound suppression, with cables. These are becoming brittle with time. Other stuff like the ear pads can be easily replaced with spares from the net. Sound quality is great. Maybe, after 20 years of service, they can be allowed to fail.

    Proton Mail started relocation out of Switzerland due to changes in Swiss legislation

    They tried to pull that on us, secure end-to-end encryption, which they meant was from you to the server and server to target. Only this tiiiny place in the middle was unencrypted, but otherwise... If I remember correctly, they got a lot of lawyers swarming them, that thing is pushing up the...

    ZFS Hopelessly lost with ZFS

    Your data sets are somewhat equal to partitions. Only they do not use space allocated once at system partition time but will allocate the storage needed from the zpool under it. They also contain settings which influence data safety (copies=X, compression, ...)

    ada is not dead , it even gained in popularity

    Sure. You can't fly to the curb and wait for the tow plane, so to speak. The RTEMS part was for some hardware you definitely don't want to malfunction or to come back asking for directions. Autonomous swarm navigation was a thing a long time ago. Been there, done that, spent a day running...

    Firefox to go full AI with new CEO

    I don't think it was this community alone, but we shall not let get that little detail in the way of celebrations. And let's see how long that switch will work as advertised and when it will have a clause that you volunteer all your data you input into the browser for training.

    Proton Mail started relocation out of Switzerland due to changes in Swiss legislation

    lost_in_c please cut out the political spin. I don't think you know what you are talking about, but I recognize the rethoric. Please go visit some places around the world, stay for some time, get to know the people and culture. Then take a good hard look at your home place, you might find that...

    Once upon a time I worked with RTEMS, which I guess should fit the bill. That one was in C, but if it provides hard real time?

    ZFS Hopelessly lost with ZFS

    Simply the idea of not caring about partitions is great. How often did you have to move directories around and added links because /var, /usr or somesuch ran out of disk space? With ZFS that is not a problem. Also I have caught drives going bad by "zpool scrub", telling me the data went bad...

    Solved rsync blocks zfs operations and blocks input devices, unusable

    Once upon a time we had gsched for this. Where did it go while I wasn't looking?

    Solved rsync blocks zfs operations and blocks input devices, unusable

    Depends on the write speed. How many [ms] per write is reported? If it is, say, 50ms - then you are looking at about a second latency for writes to the pool. This is optimized for troughput, not latency.

    Solved rsync blocks zfs operations and blocks input devices, unusable

    Yes. Next! Does "gstat" show a big queue buildup for the zroot drives?

    Electronic Counter Measures, maybe?

    People have forgotten what "audio quality" is

    There is this old german saying which translates roughly to : "Wanted: Fishing rod, most expensive" Some people only measure how much they pay for something, not seeing that that is no measure for quality. There are things that are worthless the moment you can buy them.

    People have forgotten what "audio quality" is

    We once made a test: play the same song from mp3, CD and vinyl and switch the different sources from a mix board. You can hear the difference (okay, that was equipment others buy a car for, 4 digits vinyl player and so on). Since then, my music gets stored in mp3 320 for car stereo and flac for...

    New Tools for Creating Portable and Customizable Distributions of OpenEMR for FreeBSD using QEMU on MacOS

    Is there a port? Untill there is, I think "porting new software" is a good home. And let's hole to see a port some day. And Jmevorach - welcome aboard.

    People have forgotten what "audio quality" is

    Sitting in a dark room, relaxing, listening to some good album (and no forward/back jumping)... With tapes, music was linear. Now it's a mosaic of 90 second snippets.
