That's a problem. Did you remove any old contents of /usr/src first? Please do that and check out again.

To my knowledge, nobody has submitted such a section.

portmaster does not need or use Ruby, so that does not affect its use. portupgrade does use Ruby, so upgrades can be a problem. I'm not sure what you mean about the other thread. There is a section on Poudriere in the Handbook. I did not write it, but spent several hours working with the...

Opinions vary. ports-mgmt/portmaster and ports-mgmt/portupgrade still work. ports-mgmt/portmaster is nice because it does not need Ruby and the defaults are somewhat more in line with preferred procedure. I think the separate port database requirement of ports-mgmt/portupgrade has been fixed...

What was the output of gpart show?

Please be specific. What were you trying to add? Which files were modified and how?

-af is slower and more fragile than the recommended way, but okay.

sysutils/rsnapshot. Although you do have to configure it to back up the directories wanted.

Did you delete and reinstall all packages? If you installed new ports after a major version upgrade, that does not work. Either never touch the installed ports after that type of upgrade, or delete them all, then reinstall. There is a procedure at the end of the ports-mgmt/portmaster man...

A too-large power supply will not hurt anything, it just will not run as efficiently as one that is the correct size. A giant video card might need that power, but otherwise I suspect even a 550W supply would be bigger than necessary. I've used SSDs from several manufacturers and have had no...

Create /etc/rc.local and execute the command from there.

devel/ccache does not help at all the first time something is built, and only helps on rebuild if that particular code is still in the cache. Compiling is a process that takes time. The FreeBSD cluster compiles ports into binary packages available for download so people are not required to put...

Not sure about the sound card or the wireless card. The power supply seems vastly oversized, and the Kingston SSD is out of place compared to the other components. The Kingston memory might be okay, but check the Supermicro site to see if it is approved for that board.

I thought you could mount partitions or locations for / (or also /var, and /usr) and tell bsdinstall to use them. My success level with that installer is low, and I usually use my own or copy and upgrade existing installations.

I suggest you install textproc/igor and run it over the text or HTML. It will find at least spelling errors and maybe many other types. It does some tests on text, those and a few more on mdoc, and many more on DocBook. If you want patches for this, making it easy to submit patches would...

You could press for the OpenBSD "no commit without documentation" policy. Or you could write some. Or you could ask others to write some. Or lobby the Foundation. As far as the stuff that is there, others saw a need and did something about it. Volunteers cannot be assigned to a piece of...

It is hard to see a big difference between those. None are greatly concerned with laws, all want to conceal their activities. Let me just put it this way: blocking with DNS assumes that the people who want their stuff to report home do not have a big incentive to try alternate methods.

I understand that firewalls can block arbitrary addresses, but I also know that this would not stop anyone. There is no reason a semi-random list of IP addresses cannot be used, and those would not necessarily be in a company's IP block. Think "partners". And of course, any update to the...

I don't understand this thread. It started as Nvidia telemetry, then evolved into something that seemed to suggest you can block that with a hosts file. The easy way to get past that is for the "telemetry" to just use static IP addresses. There are numerous other ways it could be done through...

The example mickey shows takes advantage of the different queues available on a JetDirect device. Which queue names are supported could vary depending on the model, but I'd suggest using raw and doing all the processing on the computer. That avoids possible surprises with what the JetDirect...
