This comment is entirely subjective and lacks objective actionable items one can work on. This is the kind of comments that create tempests in a teapot like a few months ago. You have to be more specific. pkgng ain't perfect but you can open bugs in their issue tracker on github. pkgng is...

You can use the -r option to limit the scope to specific repos.

ports is FreeBSD's baby. NetBSD adopted it and OpenBSD inherited it from NetBSD. OpenBSD's is simpler because of this. pkgsrc is a bit messier. If you have umask 077 as root `make install` is not smart enough to avoid it. But it's also used by SmartOS (Illumos) and other operating systems...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_even_wrong For FreeBSD to be like Linux at least these 2 conditions should be met: 1. Stuff coming from separate repos. FreeBSD has the FreeBSD-src monorepo. 2. Both ports & pkgbase installing to /usr. FreeBSD ports installs to /usr/local (though I wish...

This is not even wrong lol.

Windows doesn't have packages. Sigh. I see both pkgbase and rcd as exciting developments. The only thing missing in pkg right now is BE integration like in Solaris/Illumos and also Linux distros with openSUSE's zypper.

Most of her projects are really dope.

The chips having AES extensions is what makes all the difference with OpenVPN + DCO.

Using a 12C/14T processor for a 8 port firewall mini PC is a bit excessive, IMO. I have 2 Intel GMKTec's. They're indeed nice. But I needed a better excuse for spending on yet another mini PC so I chose AMD lol.

This device will be used for experiments only. A Raspberry Pi with 16GB (plus case and SSD) costs 3x and this AMD box is 4x faster. It also has 2 2.5G Ethernet ports.

The G11 arrived. Installed FreeBSD & NetBSD 11 on it. Had to install FreeBSD 16 because it has the rge driver for RTL8125BG. Only the MediaTek MT7921 ain't working yet.

Can you provide an example of such port? All git forges support tarballs anyway and the .git directory contains compressed blobs.

This. And both can have compress=off set as they contain compressed files.

Claude & ChatGPT are pretty good at Ansible because it's well documented.

Every tech has its pros and cons. We can't highlight only the negative aspects. LLMs aren't special. Lots of people with no programming background are happy that they can make stuff they couldn't do before. We must also see the positive aspects.

Ideally it should be we, the people. At least there's some consensus in that LLM output can't be copyrightable. That's why thorough human review is important. I myself don't believe in software patents, not so much because algorithms are math as Knuth said, but because they're a...

I think I know a thing or two about McCarthyism because of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tascón_List It starts with shaming projects and eventually shaming also developers. Do you know about the Unabomber? There are lots of crazies out there.

With the hyperbole and inflammatory language around datacenters burning the planet, killing salmon and so on, this is dangerous.

Shame on Codeberg for allowing this McCarthyism.
