I think this has been posted on this forum previously. Hopefully somewhat on-topic: https://levenez.com/unix/

I gave up on VSCode because it's a royal pain to build. It's crazy bloatware, even for an IDE.

I would like it to run astro/opencpn on a reasonable-size monitor (say 27") and maybe support remote X forwarding or XRDP or something like that.

I've looked here: https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm And I've looked here: https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/arm/#hw There are a lot of boards and a lot of caveats. Do you have practical FreeBSD experience with an ARM board you would recommend?

Biggest leak I ever found (and one of the first) was in Java code. Turns out it was intentional, but it still got me tons of street cred at my new (at the time) job. Yes, Valgrind is an awesome tool. Many thanks to Dr. Paul Floyd.

Big fan of McIlroy. I've probably posted this before cause it's one of me faves. I beg for forbearance for the old man repeating himself: https://leancrew.com/all-this/2011/12/more-shell-less-egg/

This is what I used most recently: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1561224-REG/fractal_design_fd_ca_def_r5_bk_define_r5_black.html

I'm struggling to think of what "social media" Apple and Microsoft have. To me the social media giants are Meta, Tiktok, and Twitter. In any case, liability for the online experience is no longer hypothetical as of today. Meta is allegedly behind these efforts to add an age API. I doubt it's...

Yes, it's Python and it gave me quite a headache. It generates methods with names like query_by_table_foo(...) at run time. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out where they were defined. I could see they were getting called, and returning results, but I couldn't find them anywhere!

No longer valid as of GCC 14 / Clang 16 (which started enforcing C99): https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/new-warnings-and-errors-clang-16 https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-14/porting_to.html 😞 There's a hash (#) missing at the beginning of this line Compiling with -fpermissive I get: $ gcc -fpermissive...

I think Python is gross, but I'm just a weak-minded Java programmer. I can probably be ignored safely. I recently ran into something like this at work: def __getattr__(self, name: str): # If class is extened, or name doesn't start with query_by_ if self.__class__ is not...

Yep. Hopefully 4.9? Vs.

Interesting project. I'm assuming version 5.3. Do lsdev or show currdev report anything curious? (Love "Syntax for devices is odd." in the man page.)

I think I understand the motivations for this and similar bills now: Protect the social media giants from liability: Shift the responsibility for age verification to the OS providers. Now families get to sue them when Timmy sees something gross on Facebook. Corporatize open source development...

It was "self-healing"! That guy was way ahead of his time! Yes, tongue firmly in cheek. By the way atax1a thanks for the link! That's an awesome repo and blog post.

Care to post it?

The Ghostbsd forums link needs to be updated. It's now just https://forums.ghostbsd.org (no index.php).

Yep. The Nodejs "ecosystem" is having a bad week: https://thehackernews.com/2026/03/unc6426-exploits-nx-npm-supply-chain.html https://thehackernews.com/2026/03/glassworm-supply-chain-attack-abuses-72.html

I fear you are right 😞 I'll be without a preferred OS again.

It was old and bogus. Ip is new and improved! Seriously, my guess is someone looking to make a name for themselves. Ain't no one gonna get famous by fixing bugs. Re-designed and implemented the Linux network management tools? Hire that guy ASAP!
