Alain De Vos, thanks for giving your solution. I remember at one point, I couldn't get Wayland working with Nvidia--in my case, eventually the drivers and drm-kmods were updated and that fixed it for me. I have an Nvidia GeForce GT1030). I remember when I first posted that I couldn't get it...

T-Aoki one quick aside--I can get Japanese input on Wayland with labwc, a Wayland version of openbox, and fcitx5 (though it's quite iffy with dwl, a dwm equivalent.) See my https://srobb.net/jpninpt.html#wayland. As for Nvidia, I use latest, as far as packages, and often, when there's an...

As has been said, you can set a user to be ignored. As for me, like many here, I enjoy most of Alain De Vos's posts and, speaking just for myself, would rather see 3 on topics that I don't care about, than miss the one I find fun.

fmc000, to some people, having the keyboard be EXACTLY right is worth it. Though many of us find less expensive ones that we like.

In my case, whenever I have Nvidia trouble, I've always been able to fix it (in the last year or so anyway, don't remember before, by doing a port install of nvidia-drm-kmod, whenever I've had an issue after an nvidia update of any sort, e.g., driver, kmod, etc. I generally upgrade with pkg...

RHCSA is probably quite doable. There are several good books avaialable. There's the Van Vugt and Ghori books. If you have FreeBSD, you can set up RH bhyve VMs quite easily, or use Rocky or Alma. Presently, I think the most current ones are for RHEL9. There's also some helpful reddit threads...

If you have any friends or acquaintances in IT, it may be as, or more useful than a degree. Most posted jobs ask for a degree,but if they like you, it can be overlooked, especially when you're older, and have experience. On the other hand, I haven't job hunted in years, and it is worse now...

In my case, I often wasn't able to destroy public. Or, if I did I wasn't able to add the interface (re0 in my case). I would sometimes simply delete /vm/.config/system.conf, then recreate the switch. And if it didn't let me add re0 to it I would just manually add the line ports_public="re0"...

I've also been seeing trouble with bhyve lately. For me, the last time I rebooted, I lost the switch. My bhyves are on a machine that I don't reboot very often, but if I remember last time I had to reboot, I wound up doing pkg remove vm-bhyve then pkg install vm-bhyve then re-creating the...

Fortunately, dwl is still working fine. I have found, in the past that port maintain of dwl is faster respond than something raised at the codeberg site. I don't know if that's still the case but the FreeBSD port maintainer was always quick to respond. And kindly, even to a question, that in...

I *think* but am not sure that with Windows, for whatever reason, 2 is the maximum amount of cores. I don't remember where I read this, and a quick web search didn't find it, so I could be wrong.

After a VERY superficial web search, I get the impression that dwl and mangowc are like dwm and spectrwm.

Last time I checked was years ago. Glad they don't do it any more.

The last time I looked, which admittedly was years ago, back when Spectrum was Time Warner Cable. they had a nebulous term of service, that if you ran a web or mail server and it took too much traffic, they could block it. Verizon, the other big ISP in NYC, last time I looked blocked ports 25...

RadicalEdhard that made me laugh, thanks.

I have something similar. I also upgrade this machine with freebsd-update and the active partition is named 14.3-RELEASE but it's running 15.0-RELEASE-p1. I never thought too much about it, just guessing that some names were automatically given by freebsd-update, for example, maybe when I ran...

Still nice of you to come back and let us know it was solved. By the way, if you have time, maybe you could post that working config, I'm sure someone will want to make use of it down the line. Not me, as I didn't get on this thread, as I like tint to stay visible, but I'm sure most people want...

I have my own page on it at https://srobb.net/vm-bhyve.html. Much of it is also on vermaden's pages (I took some stuff from him, as usual). But it's fairly straightforward, or has been for me, anyway, installing a gui of Linux (or Windows or FreeBSD) into a uefi boot.

I just saw this one today on cracked.com. I don't think I've heard or read it before. A colon can change the entire meaning of a sentence. Example I ate Jane's sandwich. I ate Jane's colon.

I tend to like your off-topic threads, but there's already a joke thread, that started in 2008 and is currently up to 55 pages. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/its-all-about-jokes-funny-pics.286/page-55
