You can relax. CUPS is third party printer spooling and network print server for UNIX and Linux build around Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) providing advanced users' access policies functionality. It is currently maintained by Apple Inc. which uses is in its own OS X. Not a single soul in any...

You question makes no sense at all. That is like asking what is a compassion between hay and a horse :rolleyes: OSSv4 is collection of drivers as well as API which exposes audio devices. sndio is OpenBSD audio server (amplifier, mixing sounds from different sources, MIDI, provides interfaces for...

FreeBSD is using OSS. OSSv4 was a proprietary close source extension before getting open sourced with the right BSD license 10 years ago. There was some merit in getting drivers in. Jacob Meuser (OpenBSD developer) and I had the discussion about this on OpenBSD mailing circa 2009 lists before...

You understood it wrong. I am running it here on my OpenBSD boxen :-) Let me know if you need help with the patches for the FreeBSD port.

Yes his post and my answer were removed. I reported his post not because of the flame bite to which I responded in respectful manner with technical facts (it was about use of the "obsolete" editor ed in the book Unix Programming Environment which was used as an argument against my...

Have you read and understood The Unix Programming Environment by Brian W. Kernighan and Rob Pike. https://www.amazon.com/Unix-Programming-Environment-Prentice-Hall-Software/dp/013937681X If you have not we have nothing to talk about. My favorite book on shell programming is Unix Shell...

Interesting. My understanding was always that FreeBSD just like Red Hat doesn't support upgrade between major version releases (mean from 9.xxx to 10.xxx to 11.xxx). If it did then it should be as easy as freebsd-update fetch freebsd-update install pkg upgrade I upgrade by exporting the ZFS...

Here is the one using FreeBSD and ZFS as a backend :) https://www.panasas.com/industries/

I second scottro's advise considering OP (mefizto) needs. VirtualBox is not a very robust product and unlike some I would not run virtual server on it but it is a perfect for a web or in this case technical developer who needs to spin a copy of Windows on her/his desktop in order to run...

Do you know how to code in Python? It should not take you more than 50 lines of code and OpenCV (graphics/opencv) library to get a basic home surveillance system.

Are you sure that it is possible to install GNU Octave package without GUI? I mean they are emulating MATLAB behavior. You can of course start matlab without gui matlab -nodesktop but you can't install without it. I am more familiar with the other MATLAB clone called math/freemat which used to...

One of FreeBSD developers just announced a package plugin ports-mgmt/pkg-provides on DragonFly mailing list. https://marc.info/?l=dragonfly-users&m=152339786518925&w=2 I have to admit honestly that I was oblivious to package plugin infrastructure for FreeBSD. A quick 5 minute playing with...

GitHub is proprietary code and self hosting is not possible even if you want to pay. There are situations in which even private GitHub repositories are not sufficient to meet either internal company requirements or cyber security imposed by government contracts. GitLab just like GO alternatives...

The first thing I thought when I saw your post was: "Oh finally somebody (different than me) is trying to pull April fools' day prank". It just sounded a bit lame comparing to my April first bombastic announcement of port of HAMMER to FreeBSD or my fake news of the Oracle law suite against...

+1 for sysutils/iocell although silence on the mailing list is not giving much confidence about the future. sysutils/ezjail is abandoned because the author got pissed off (rightfully so) that sysutils/qjail author has stolen his code and FreeBSD people are not removing that crap (crap refers to...

You got me on this one. I had to go and check the smartd.conf which comes with OS. Glad to see ondra_knezour already posted the answer. I think this is the relevant snippet of the sample file. Monitor 2 ATA disks connected to a 3ware 9000 controller which # uses the 3w-9xxx driver (Linux...

Let me run upstairs and make sure they are not doing something stupid ;)

Few NASA and CERN labs I am familiar with use OpenBSD for the firewalls and FreeNAS for file servers. Cern is heavily vested in OpenStack which is a pile of crap IMHO. I don't know enough about the architecture of NASA infrastructure to speak. When it comes to computing it is all Red Hat and...

Yes. SSH key is an example of asymmetric cryptography. The person who eavesdrop and gets a copy of your public key can't do anything with it. As long as you private key is safe (preferably secured by password) nobody will be able to log into your remote account except you with your private key.
