    The List (aka "la lista")

    If I remember the movie, Hasta la vista was what the young John Conner taught the terminator to use as "hip" slang among young USA people of that area (West Coast, I think). By that time I was a lot older than John Conner was supposed to be and I don't think my friends or I ever used that...

    Will FreeBSD be available in California in 2027?

    Who knows? As for Batman the TV series was actually a satire, though I was too young to realize it at the time.

    Will FreeBSD be available in California in 2027?

    Wanna know how I got these scars? (I fell a lot as a kid and knee scars never healed). MG that's also a joke referring to the Dark Knight movie. The Joker constantly goes through asking people if they want to know how he got his scars and tells a different story every time. And, no, no one had...

    Will FreeBSD be available in California in 2027?

    MG as a native US English speaker, I stand by my joke. :) Yes, regress is the opposite of progress, but I think that most US English speakers will catch the fact that con is often used as the opposite of pro. (I suspect UK, etc speakers would catch it too, but I don't know). And yes, con is...

    Will FreeBSD be available in California in 2027?

    nerozero I don't know if you're from an English speaking country, so you might have missed the joke. In English, the opposite of pro is con, so the point was that the opposite of progress is congress. And if you are a native speaker and were just being droll, I apologize.

    Solved Nvidia

    Yup, I just blissfully searched the page for GT1080 and when I found it, I didn't bother to check what it was under. Fortunately, I thought, Well, it's not working right, let me try what UPDATING says and Lo! and Behold! that fixed it. I mentioned in another nvidia thread, that as this system is...

    Solved Nvidia

    bakul I only read the entry when my Nvidia's resolution was messed up. It confused me as the list giving in the UPDATING link seems to include the 1030 card as supported, but I too had to use the 580 driver and kmod. UPDATING gives the link of...

    The List (aka "la lista")

    SirDice, in English, we use pig in a poke. Means the same thing, buying without knowing what you're getting. I'm guessing, without checking a web search, that you and Alain De Vos are talking Flemish? As I recall, it's either identical or VERY similar to Dutch. I remember from my dog training...

    The List (aka "la lista")

    Yeah, I don't know how I got in that group of smart people. I remember when the BSD convention was in NY, and somehow found myself in a group of Dru Lavigne, Dan Langille, Mike Lucas and Wietse Venema the creator of postfix, and was thinking, one of these is not like the others. As for what I...

    Movies (and TV shows)...

    I want to recommend The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins. If you liked 30 Rock, I think you'll like this show. Just giving a link to a trailer. It's had 8 episodes so far. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAzxd15M3hg

    Movies (and TV shows)...

    If you like Akari Takaish, try to find Baby Assassins or Baby Assassins 2, or even Baby Assassins Everyday life which was, something like a 10 or 12 episode TV show. In those she plays one of two young assassins, and she's the loud one. The other one is more quiet (and, I think, also does stunt...

    Solved Switch does not survive reboot and other network changes

    I'm going to add that today, (Apr 5, 2026), I updated vm-bhyve to 1.7.3 and the problem seems to have gone away. I remember there was someone else on the forums with a similar problem, and perhaps they may see this and find that it's fixed for them, too..

    That one made me chuckle. I was going to give a thanks, then was afraid people'd think I was serious. :)

    Cancel option

    kent_dorfman766, Ok, I'm trying that now but haven't marked this as a draft. I then went to the floppy disc? icon and tried delete draft, but it doesn't seem to have worked. I guess, if I remembered to do every post as a draft it'd work.

    A rant about bying online difference different countries.

    I think that a) as I've said before, many members here are older, and b) a bit less concerned about showing how tough we are. Just a guess on my part, not an educated explanation. :)

    Cancel option

    I've frequently started to post, and then for some reason, maybe it was political, maybe I realized I was wrong, etc., but I've wanted to cancel a post I began to type. I don't see any option to do it. If I just click the back button, it will usually disappear after awhile, but if it's an...

    A rant about bying online difference different countries.

    The Beelinks, before the AI bubble, were reasonable. I have one with 32 GB of memory, and a year ago, it was under $400. (Although Beelink by default uses 4GB of memory for the GPU, so, figure 28GB memory. Don't know if that would be enough. But I just looked at their site and things seem *a...
