    FreeBSD is well situated

    If I'm understanding you correctly, you would like some form of AI to completely, or at least mostly, run your system? As far as I know, FreeBSD doesn't have that. I don't think the commercial O/S's or Linux has it either, yet, though some might be going in that direction.

    How to pass command line args to startx?

    beastiegirl for example, I use openbox at times. There is a file $HOME/.config/openbox where it has its configuration, including an autostart file. I just want it to start with a background and tint2 (a window manager bar). So, my $HOME/.config/openbox/autostart reads feh --bg-scale...

    Irc newbie here

    loveydovey, without pretending to read wolffnx's mind, seems like he just would like to go on irc and chat. I imagine that someone who desires themselves to be tested on their security could probably find an irc channel for that (though I haven't looked). Like eternal_noob says above, be careful...

    pkgbase vs bectl?

    I'm also wondering--maybe someone knows, sees this, and can answer--if we still need the /usr/share/keys/pkgbase-15 or if you can now use what's in the wiki, the /usr/share/keys/pkg. If I have time today I might throw together a VM and see. If anyone knows and could answer, that would be good.

    Can't connect the wifi.

    prince2phor59, sorry I don't use bluetooth, so I'd be unable to help there. But this forum has a lot of knowledgeable and helpful people. And do take a look at the man page that POSIX.1 linked, they can be very helpful, and there are probably ones in French available.

    pkgbase vs bectl?

    Hrrm, that's new. I've seen that on some CURRENT VMs, but haven't seen it on a RELEASE. I'm honestly not sure. It looks as if something's wrong with the branch, hopefully, someone with more knowledge can chime in.

    Can't connect the wifi.

    POSIX.1 sorry, but I disagree. If someone is new, they may not realize what to look for. In my arrogant opinion, each case is different.

    Can't connect the wifi.

    POSIX.1 already said, but but to slightly elaborate, you can run, for example wpa -ddd -i <interfacename> -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf For example: wpa -ddd -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf The extra d's give you more debugging information. wpa_supplicant -d is probably enough but the...

    Looking for an english (and greek too if i find one) dictionary in text form to use in FreeBSD console.

    There's definitely a port for it. And a package. Do you have a custom repo? If you click the link in my earlier post, it takes you to freshports.org which shows the name of port and package.

    hp deskjet 5150

    My Brother MFC (laser) works without any Brother drivers. I use the everywhere driver--not only on FreeBSD but also tested on several Linux distributions.

    Patriots or Seahawks?

    As for the halftime show, there's a story behind that. In Living Color, one year, put on an episode to go on during the halftime show, which at the time was a marching band and other less interesting stuff. They had a timer on screen so viewers would know when to switch back to the superbowl...

    hp deskjet 5150

    Assuming you got it installed with cups, there's a print test page option. Click the printer, and there will be, to the left a Maintenance option. Click the drop down arrow and there's an option to print a test page.

    Patriots or Seahawks?

    Alain De Vos the superbowl is worth it mainly for the commercials. According to an old Wall Street Journal article, there's about 11 minutes of action during the game. A Quarz article mentioning the figure...

    Solved Tint2 in the future

    Just an update for those interested. I've been emailing with the maintainer, they have an as yet untested patch and package, which I'll test by the weekend. They've filed a bug as it turns out this has to do C23 _WIDTH macros, which is WAYYYY over my head, I'm quoting from the bug report which...

    Looking for an english (and greek too if i find one) dictionary in text form to use in FreeBSD console.

    What about textproc/dict (though you probably know of that one and I'm probably missing something)

    Solved CUPS with older Brother laser printer

    There's also the everywhere driver (but I don't know if it would work for you, but according to a 2021 reddit thread it should). https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/op9jji/cups_printing_drivers/ (the reddit thread)
