    Valuable News – 2026/03/30

    Yampress, there's some sort of meme or joke somewhere, about ssh-ing into a Debian machine, using vipw, and realizing their default editor is nano, and wondering how to close it. (Yes the instructions are at the bottom, but if you've been expecting vi, it can be a shock). As an aside, I don't...

    A rant about bying online difference different countries.

    I respectfully disagree. Your freedom is usually far less infringed than those offended. All the jokes about, say, women? They're the things that allow people in power to justify not promoting them. You mention the Nazis. I wonder if Jewish jokes were considered Ok, slightly before they came...

    Ignore this one, I started writing before other things were posted and I don't see a way to completely delete. See my post below.

    Internet TV

    I once heard a quote that amused me. I'm too lazy to look up the source, but the quote is, TV is a medium. That means it's neither rare nor well done.

    A rant about bying online difference different countries.

    My gosh that was it. But they didn't do the Look at these part, or if they did, it had other actions. They were pretty young, like I said, around 8 and 10, and I know that if they'd done the look at these part, with those actions, I would remember. Or maybe they stuck in another phrase like...

    A rant about bying online difference different countries.

    I mentioned this in another post somewhere. If you're not a member or partially a member of a race, I don't think you can judge them. I remember my wife, (full Japanese) being offended at a little ditty my nieces, who were probably around 8 and 10, chanted, something about Japanese, Chinese...

    Internet TV

    Maturin, personally, there's only a few Japanese dishes that I liked. My wife likes preparing seafood, which I don't like. She is a good cook, and she's willing to accommodate me, (to a point) but I remember one new year, when we were in Japan, her mom prepared a bunch of traditional New Year...

    A rant about bying online difference different countries.

    Here in the US as well, with bumper stickers like, "I bought it before Elon went DOGE", etc. Musk isn't popular here, he cost many their jobs with his "cost cutting" which apparently saved almost nothing, and that's not even counting the political division here, and people disliking him for the...

    Internet TV

    For what it's worth, my wife looked at the NHK World, but it's not exactly NHK. It's a variant--I didn't get what the difference is, but she wasn't surprised, saying the main NHK would charge money. Despite that, seems interesting with a wide variety of places, including, for example, Hiroshima...

    In addition, I see they have, in the Japan section, a local Hiroshima section. She'll like that, as it's where she grew up, though now her family is in Kobe and Osaka. Maturin, thanks again. balanga, like you, I, too, am surprised I never heard of this.

    Internet TV

    I have to show that to my wife. She sometimes has a station that shows Japanese TV and she'll just play it on her Mac and use Mac's airplay to run it on the TV but this seems like it would give her a wider variety.

    ** Warning ** when upgrading to NVIDIA 595.58.03 Driver

    For what it's worth before any upgrade with Nvidia, as I have a system on ZFS, I use bectl to make an alternative boot from the working system. This way, if the upgrade messes up, I can boot to the working one. I also find that I can fix problems most of the time, by upgrading ports to the very...

    Solved Graphical glitches with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650

    I'm going to add something not really related, save for the fact that I often run into issues when there's an Nvidia update. I'm on a ZFS based system. So, if I'm running pkg upgrade and see there's an Nvidia upgrade, I first run bectl ctl to make a boot environment. You can call it whatever you...

    Movies (and TV shows)...

    If anyone is familiar with Baby Assassins, the woman who plays Chisato is in a newer Japanese action/comedy, Ghost Killer. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YTtAT3-IyI on Amazon Prime

    Playing with mdo(1)

    To add to an old thread. I had two machines where mdo -i worked as expected. However, on a third machine I'd get cred() failed: Operation not permitted It turned out that this was because on the 3rd machine, I wasn't a member of the wheel group. Once I added myself to wheel, logged out and...

    What happened to my post in the Howto section

    I think that almost everyone here agrees with that. These forums are a pleasure to use and much of that is due to the moderators.

    The Internet does not work until you restart the netif service

    Did you install using the full DVD or the boot only? In my case, with the Beelink, I could not get any connection, wired or wireless. When using the full DVD it did see the wireless.

    Valuable News – 2026/03/30

    Wow. 2.7 million people have gone to stack overflow to find out how to exit vi. There's an old bash.org post about it, which I'd always thought was a joke. (The vi article link https://vivianvoss.net/blog/vi) I can't find the bash.org post right now, but it was called everyone's first vi...

    Which version of VI (vi, nvi, nvi2, vim, nvim) are you using and why?

    Yog-Sothoth, for some reason, even though your post was first, I didn't see it till this morning, so as I said to daridro, I learned something, so thanks.
