YAML is a perfect example of semantic whitespace gone wrong. There are so many links I could use here. My personal experience with it has been dismal. Yes, I've run into weird number-parsing bugs (you meant to give that one CPU? You just gave it 1,000.) Yes, I've spent hours chasing an...

That's all fun and games until Qt drops X11 support.

For now. How long can you simultaneously "lean more on systemd" but not require it?

I'm confused about their confusion. As astyle said elsewhere "Now this is rather unfortunate, esp. given that FreeBSD cooperated with KDE for nearly 25 years." I can't see how KDE can reasonably be included as an option at install time now. Any user choosing it has to hope that KDE doesn't...

So true. Always had a few fallen soldiers when we had to power off everything in the lab for UPS maintenance.

I'll admit I'm pretty sloppy about it at home. Fool's errand at work where everything is a short-lived container. I don't think we allow SSH at all anymore anyway.

Roku and Raku are unfortunately completely unrelated. If you want to learn a truly obscure scripting language, look into Brightscript.

I wrote about 2 lines of FORTRAN and immediately ran into the fact that the capitalization of your function parameters matters... That was enough for me.

I use it to talk to my kids, but refuse to give it out as a contact point for me. The fact is, it's a for-profit unicorn that's going to be bought by someone sooner or later. Your access to the platform, data, contact lists, etc. then becomes the property of someone else to do with what they...

Anything in dmesg? That's a weird one. I guess going back to 14.3 is too much work. Do you have a spare drive you could use to test out 14.3?

Looks like the Rust stuff was removed recently? https://github.com/speedata/publisher/commit/e945157ac0133571123f7f75327fb82587f76053

You have the data. Look at slide 46 here: https://freebsdfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/FreeBSD-2025-Community-Survey-Report-Final.pdf The Forum is third most used. Discord, lumped together with other "Instant Msg" platforms is a distant 9th. Even if you only look at people who have...

You can use touch test to create an empty file in the current directory. See touch.

And the fallout from the disastrous deprecation of Python 2.x continues. Interesting that lang/tauthon is still in the tree despite being deprecated for "Us(ing the) Python 2.7 codebase". How can it not "use" the code base when it's a hard fork? Stinks of politics.

Software laws in Brazil were pretty wacky back in the day. That's why the Lua programming language exists, there were onerous burdens on "importing" software not developed in Brazil. However, even Lua is MIT-licensed nowadays.

The AI slop only mentions the ServerAlive* options. It is silent on TCPKeepAlive which seems more relevant to your problem. Consult the ssh_config man page.

At least one of those errors points to a missing math/suitesparse-amd library. Are you sure you installed all of Octave's dependencies? It requires quite a lot. There may be a language barrier here. Using the port boils down to compiling it on your own system. The Freebsd Ports Collection is a...

However, this should work, right? https://github.com/shkhln/linuxulator-steam-utils/blob/master/README.md

Hopefully you mean 14.3... Otherwise, holy time machine, Batman! Yeah, it sounds like the maintainer was fatigued by these endless "issues" found by "security" researchers looking to make a name for themselves: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/346#note_2491252 Yes. The link in...

Maybe this will help. I was once faced with the following problem: Our system depended on a very large store of small to medium binary files I had to test reads and writes from and to this store in a test environment The test writes should never, ever appear in the production store We could not...
