Contrary to popular belief, HTML can be generated from any programming language. Icinga2 is written in C++ (mostly). This is what the non-PHP site looks like: https://www.icinga.com/products/screenshots/icinga-classic/. Now, they went and added a "web client" type thing, which does use PHP...

I don't know offhand what all those magic options to portmaster do, but it is guaranteed if you do not check /usr/ports/UPDATING every time before updating ports (yes, every time), it will bite you sooner or later. As will just throwing -a at a port upgrade tool. Please see Upgrading FreeBSD...

Shell is programming. It's just that the shell lacks so many basic tools that it's crude and difficult to do anything non-trivial. I don't have any of those books, although some of the author names are familiar. I would lean toward the third one, but don't really know. An alternative is just...

I wouldn't say I'm a great advocate, but I use it for the reasons mentioned in post #2: no PHP, and scripts and modules meant for Nagios can usually be used with it.

The first step would be to ask the pfSense people to set up a way to produce updated drivers. This is a problem for many people. Then consider setting up a VM to build your own. Look at opnSense, the fork of pfSense, which might have support or a more aggressive release schedule or some method...

What exactly was set? The error shows some odd character set problems.

It's really trusting to download random drivers off the web somewhere, but not safe at all.

Besides a valid freebsd-ufs partition, a UEFI boot needs the FreeBSD UEFI bootcode copied to the /EFI/BOOT/ directory of the EFI partition. That directory is typically on the FS1 MS-DOS partition. See http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/disksetup.html#_booting_with_uefi. How you run that...

No. From memory, it is only boot0 that does not like extended partitions. I know I have installed and run FreeBSD on extended partitions, but that was long ago and with GPT there is no need for it now. Grub can multi-boot GPT. Of course, the other operating systems on the same disk must...

If you don't mount it (possibly automatically), you don't need to unmount it.

There is some weird stuff going on in that script. Why use echo -e to suppress the linefeed and then manually add it into the string? I will also suggest using sh to avoid bash. Add some simple debug output between the various steps (echo "beginning portsnap") to show which part is producing...

Where is the donors list?

ZFS vdevs cannot be resized. How was this created?

pkg is the command name. What it uses are called "packages".

This looks like the ports tree is messed up, like a directory called /root was created somewhere in it.

Right, -current is 12. There will be a lot of overlap, but an increasing amount of difference.

Back up to files, restore files. How to do this depends on the filesystem being used.

Please try the BlueFreeBSD style (click in the bottom left corner on the name). The default red style is so garish that amazing anyone can stand to use it.

My Haswell Dell E7240 has surprised and pleased me: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Laptops/Dell_Latitude_E7240_i5-4310U. The 14-inch E7440 is about the same thing, but with a 14-inch screen.
