    Obscure C/C++ compilers

    TCC is best at one thing - compile speed. There was even some crazy way to boot linux by reading the source code from disc, compile it and boot the in-memory image from tcc. No idea if that still works, but here it is. Is that some JIT? Then there is also pcc, but that seems defunct. I haven't...

    Motherboard does not boot after hard power off

    I'm sitting near Buch, so if you need something which might be in my man-cave, please let me know.

    Motherboard does not boot after hard power off

    hruodr where are you located? This starts to look like something best diagnosed with a beer and some spare parts to check against.

    Motherboard does not boot after hard power off

    Thought so. Just wanted to make sure. Maybe this is the CPU having given up the ghost, it's the part with the smallest transistors in the system (and maybe the most). Do you have the chance to change that? Might be a lot cheaper than the complete mainboard. Access to a thermal imaging system...

    Motherboard does not boot after hard power off

    Checking the PSU first step would be to simply only connect a spinning disc and see if it spins up. WRT switches, the switches in many a power distribution cords will generate quite an arc when flipped. When that collapses, there is a voltage spike. Maybe your PSU is gone. Maybe something deeper...

    Motherboard does not boot after hard power off

    What about the CMOS battery? Did you remove that and let it drain? Other than that, it smells like the CPU got damages by a power spike. But you did not tell what switch you used. The one for ACPI, the one on the PSU or maybe one in the power cord?

    C++ Looking for a functioning IDE for C++

    +1 for kdevelop. There is also devel/codelite and devel/codeblocks which I had uses over the years.

    What happened to my post in the Howto section

    Well, FWIW, my phone is broken which holds the account for the forum. Since spare parts are out of stock around the world, this requires actually fixing the broken usb board.

    Will FreeBSD be available in California in 2027?

    Sometimes, sometimes not. The Johnsons down the street, you know? And you need to consider that the production creates CO2, in china mostly. Is that accounted for in the "19%" that are quoted here? If not, it is way more.

    Will FreeBSD be available in California in 2027?

    For how many % of the world population? And does it include all the CO2 which stems from the goods imported into the US?

    What is funny ?

    Everybody has such a problem when they are using nuclear power. Only, they pretend it's not their problem but their grand^x childrens "benefit". Funny, yes? Storage of nuclear waste is a serious problem. The current search for a place is plagued by a huge "NIMB" part, the southern states in...

    Will FreeBSD be available in California in 2027?

    The problem is, the character it is morphing into is the kind of character you want to see behind locked doors and kept away from the public to protect everyone else.

    Risc-V Laptop

    Let's keep an eye on that. At worst, Haiku seems to have good RiscV support. I was on the edge buying a RiscV machine for it, seeing it run on 64 cores would be nice. But FreeBSD? What's the Chip in it, I never heard of it before. And they have single mainboards for Framework Laptops. That might...

    What is funny ?

    As a professor of me once said after a presentation : "Today we have heard a lot of new things and a lot of good things", which meant the new stuff wasn't good and the good stuff wasn't new. And in the summer when the rivers run dry france buys solar and wind energy from germany... There are a...

    Rant about Aliens...

    These signs in fields actually have a really nice story behind them. And, Alain De Vos ... <nitpick> if your dog smells better than you, maybe it's time for a bath? </nitpick> (sorry, that was too good a pun not to make)

    Babylon 5 (no boom today)

    "You can't just kick them out of an airlock. You know how low we are on supplies! First strip them down, THEN kick them out of an airlock!" And one of my favorite 10 seconds is that oh-so-not-sorry speech.
