    The Internet does not work until you restart the netif service

    I know that on a Beelink SER5 that I have, The Realtek card was not seen during install nor after install. A second Beelink I have, an SER5 Pro (I don't think I noticed any difference aside from this) which has what seemed to be a slightly older RT8111/8168/8211/8411, didn't have the problem...

    The Internet does not work until you restart the netif service

    The OP hasn't answered since their first post from last night, so, either they've been busy, or they were a 'bot, or just trollin'. Hopefully, they've just been busy. Or, several other possible reasons for not responding, whether nefarious or benign. :)

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

    Mostly vi. However, I use vim as my default editor in mutt. At one point, nvi (FreeBSD's vi) couldn't always do Japanese, and at the time I needed it more in email. And it became a habit. There's a couple of things I have set in my $HOME/.vimrc that I use much more in mutt than anything else...

    Question about getting a GUI going

    A *guess* (as drhowarddrfine said, not enough inforamation--which happens, when you're new, you aren't sure what's important). See if whatever is giving you that cut off information either has a square button to push, or if you can drag the edges--in either case, it may widen the window so you...

    What happened to my post in the Howto section

    This was my clever plot. Say you don't know how to do something, or better yet, say it's not possible, and almost certainly, someone with the answer will post. :) There are various old cliches, they were mostly about usenet. The classic example I remember was if you post a question, and no...

    What happened to my post in the Howto section

    If you poke around the forums you should see who's labled moderator. I don't think there's a list though. (Checks forum rules and such). Nope, doesn't seem to be. Just be a bit patient, it shouldn't take more than 24-48 hours.

    A rant about bying online difference different countries.

    I don't know how much to which country, but in a move which Fox news considers good, the US is charging high tariffs. Depending upon whether voting is suppressed or not, this may change after November, as it does seem much of the US is realizing that promises of prices going down have not turned...

    What happened to my post in the Howto section

    It is probably being reviewed by the moderators. During that time it won't be available, not even to you. (I was caught by that the first time I posted in how tos, and wound up DM-ing a moderator to ask why. )

    Solved print/pdfarranger

    loveydovey, I'm not familiar with pdfarranger, but there is pdffk which will split and merge pdfs and is available as a package. (all this is being written without knowing if pdfarranger does the same) For example pdftk myfirst.pdf mysecond.pdf output combined.pdf There's also a burst...

    bhyve Unable to VNC to bhyve VM - connection refused

    I have a page, (that has a link to vermaden's better page about vm-bhyve at https://srobb.net/vm-bhyve.html However, lately I've had trouble getting the VMs working after a reboot of the machine hosting the VMs.. Despite that, the general process might be useful, although you did mention that...

    bhyve Unable to VNC to bhyve VM - connection refused

    One thing with Debian, that I found is covered at https://www.davidschlachter.com/misc/freebsd-bhyve-uefi-shell As has been said earlier, it may fail to find the boot loader. Your issue sounds different. but the link I give may apply. In the cases where I ran into this though, the sequence...

    bhyve Unable to VNC to bhyve VM - connection refused

    I would try going to your vm Debian directory, and see if there's a file in there with a .lock at the end of it's name. If so, remove that file then I would try running vm poweroff Debian (or whatever you call it) and then run vm start Debian. The config file looks alright.

    Apache document root

    Did you add the directory in your httpd.conf? Or just put it in the directory? What I have found, (not that I know much about it), is that for example, I have my DocumentRoot. Then, not touching the conf file, I make a subdirectory under it. Now, that subdirectory needs its own index.html file...

    Finally here...

    Depending what you do on Linux, it may be a relatively small adjustment. Many of the programs are the same, to state the standard cliche ones, there's firefox, thunderbird, various terminals and they all pretty much run the same on Linux and FreeBSD. There's top, uptime, vmstat, etc., etc...

    Other Noob Post - Preparations for BSPWM

    I'm assuming that you're already familiar with BSPWM. If not, dwm is a good window manager that can be used without a mouse, and even some stacking ones, like openbox, can be used without a mouse, just creating keyboard shortcuts.

    Butterfly you did mention Manjaro earlier, and I just forgot while I was typing. I told you you're a child compared to me, it was one of too many senior moments. :)_

    Will FreeBSD be available in California in 2027?

    Jose that #2 is what scares me, especially considering the sliminess of the large corps.

    Finally here...

    Easiest way to get into it is to just install it. It should work with most laptops. Most Linux programs you use will be available on FreeBSD, so if you, for example, use the openbox desktop, you can use it on FreeBSD. As far as I know, there is no age verification on FreeBSD, and if it does...
