    ZFS FreeBSD moving to ZFS-on-Linux

    What filesystems would these be? ZFS covers quite the range of what a user would want/need in a robust filesystem/block device manager.

    UFS CAM status: Uncorrectable parity/CRC error

    I had a similar situation recently with two Samsung SSDs. CAM status errors on two brand new disks without any real drive problems. I managed to get rid of the errors by putting the disks behind an HBA in pass through mode. Not ideal obviously, but I had a spare one laying around. I haven't put...

    What mail client do you use, and why? (not a poll)

    Not to hijack the thread, but does anyone know if there are plans to update mailpile to the latest version (1.0) in ports? It seems as though its still stuck at the beta (0.5) version.

    New user trying to install rpm.package

    I also asked protonmail about supporting FreeBSD and they basically didin't say a whole lot. I think their support for anything other than Windows, Mac OS and mobile devices is probably going to be next to slim. Why on earth is the Linux client still in beta? I should have been more careful in...

    FreeBSD-friendly web meeting service

    I too am in the same boat. One thing that I did recently was to use a SIP phone like Linphone to call into a Zoom meeting. It worked fine, but I think I understand what you are looking for. I am currently trying out a couple of other things and will eventually share my notes.

    Does the R package in FreeBSD 11 include a GUI?

    Just came across this thread recently. Did you ever get Rstudio building on FreeBSD?

    Installing on Lenovo x200 and with libreboot as firmware

    Is the above still working to boot FreeBSD? I just tried and it says that it cannot find the disk or kernel.

    Neomutt + Gmail alternative providers

    I can vouch as a paid user of protonmail that it is a very good email service. However I am rather disappointed that they seem to not have an interest in offering the bridge client for *BSD as they do for Linux.

    ZFS FreeBSD moving to ZFS-on-Linux

    I could see a future where for pure reasons of efficiency and cost savings one might want to just use ZOL on Linux. Would there by any advantage to using it on FreeBSD once both ZFS implementations are at parity?

    ZFS FreeBSD moving to ZFS-on-Linux

    This has been some time coming. The number of commits to ZFS from Linux developers has been massive. Hopefully this means that new eatures will be integrated more rapidly across the consortium.

    Installing Zotero - which files to brand

    Reviving this because pretty soon the only way to use Zotero will be the standalone version since the plugin version no longer works in Firefox 57+. Firefox-ESR will be deprecated soon, which has been the only way to run Zotero on FreeBSD. Is there anyone out there that uses Zotero and who has...

    And the hits keep coming: A new Intel bug discovered.

    AMD has an extraordinary opportunity if it doesn't mess this up. But ultimately x86 needs to retire.

    ProtonMail is a good alternative?

    Is anyone aware as to whether the protonmail bridge works under FreeBSD? They appear to have a Linux bridge that is in beta. This is really the only thing keeping me from switching all of my mail over. I like the convenience of a client (as well as the ability to read mails offline).

    A port for RStudio

    Cool! I plan to give RStudio a go. I've heard quite a lot about it actually. For some reason I wasn't aware that it was in the ports tree.

    A port for RStudio

    And...years later. What IDEs actually do work under FreeBSD? Apart from RKward (which is really nice), what are others using as an augment to the console to improve their workflows.

    Restoring deleted file from ZFS file system

    Yeah, it should be possible to get approximate functionality from ZFS by careful snapshot and prune policy. With that being said I think it would be extremely beneficial having HAMMER in FreeBSD as it has some tools which are simply better for this kind of thing. Not to mention a better...

    Closed Is the community become fragile?

    Only FreeBSD has full support for Nvidia cards. DragonFly has excellent support for Intel graphics that are mostly on par with what Linux has since they use the same DRM interface from what I understand. DragonFly would be a logical move for a FreeBSD user, they use the same ports/pkg system...

    Closed Is the community become fragile?

    Wow. I am in awe of what this thread has become, I thought it would be one of those threads where people said "meh" and continued carrying on. I do think that FreeBSD "the project" should have revised their own code of conduct with home grown and carefully decided language instead of merging in...

    Epyc Supermicro motherboard under FreeBSD

    Closed Is the community become fragile?

    I just saw this in response to FreeBSD's new CoC. Are people really becoming this sensitive to what is supposed to be a highly technical product?
