When in doubt about something then don't forget about the -o option for ls: ls -lo: peter@zefiris:/var $ ls -lod e* dr-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel schg 2 Nov 29 2024 empty/ See?

I think that's old news. There was a small period where Portmaster didn't have a port maintainer and I believe that's when things started to turn towards port removal. However, nowadays it has a new maintainer and the script continues to work perfectly. Been using ports-mgmt/portmaster for many...

FULLY offtopic (pls no kill me!) But this whole thread does start to remind me about my old C64 days... oh dear... 10 print "This computer is hacked!" 20 goto 20

I just fully replaced Java (a remnant from my old Solaris days) with Python, and I am hyped. Meaning: this wasn't just about purging, this is also about rewriting and rebuilding so many Java programs I made in the past. Not only did this actually work.. I got so much better results too...

Isn't this already a thing though? Anyone looked into /usr/bin/newgrp recently? It needs SUID to work, but it doesn't get it out of the box. Better yet... peter@zefiris:/home/peter $ newgrp newgrp: need root permissions to function properly, check setuid bit newgrp: initgroups: Operation not...

"It depends". (omg, why am I now thinking about Kill Bill? Ahem, anywhoo...) First things first: ports and packages? They're more or less the same thing. When you build a port? You're actually building a package which then gets installed using the standard methods (# pkg install -f...

When it comes to, ahem, "adult AI" then I'd rather rely on ComfyUI and some specific models ("checkpoints") from CivitAI. Also open source (actually developed in my favorite language of Python) and actually runs local and thus doesn't try to charge you for "AI cycles" or whatever lame sale...

These statements somewhat contradict themselves a bit. Normally a user doesn't have r/w access to system folders and it's also common practice to prevent anonymous access into home directories of random users. Sorry, bit of a lame comment from me, but still ;) If you know about /opt then why...

I know this is an older comment, but I just noticed this thread and well... got curious. No offense, but I strongly disagree; it would become a huge hassle. Thing is... there's a lot going on within the Python source base and if you then check the release overview you'll notice that releases...

Not really, that is: assuming that pf isn't relying on anything else. But even then it shouldn't matter all that much. Definitely /boot/loader.conf, you'll want such system settings to become active as soon as possible; so it makes sense to do that during boot (well, "pre-boot"? you know what I...

It's been a while ago, and I don't quite remember the details anymore. But I've also had a few issues when using the RC structure for "firewall control". pf_reload() { echo "Reloading pf rules." pf_resync } pf_resync() { $pf_program -n -f "$pf_rules" $pf_flags ||...

First... to my defense (well, sorta... :-/) this happened in the weekend and I had a few drinks? (uh oh....). So... PostgreSQL isn't just a database server to me, it's a way of life when it comes to storing/processing (bulk?) data from the command line. I'm one of those nerdy admins who also...

Hmm, I don't quite see anyone suggesting as much. Not to mention, you're not the only one; while I am quite familiar with Perl regexps (and regular expressions in general) I never really used the language. Did recently upgrade to 5.42 though ;) And the way things are now for me this is also...

Well, the main reason why I keep on using it is because it was the de-facto standard within Sun Solaris. So when I stopped using Solaris and moved on I wanted to hold on to that familiar environment. Or maybe I'm just not open to change... I also refuse to change my root shell and continue to...

I know I'm very late to the party, but I have another take on this... I'm sure many of you won't like it but many shells also support the so called vi mode (set -o vi). Now, I don't use Bash myself but its manualpage does mention this option (I prefer shells/pdksh myself). Anyway... with this...

Fair enough, but then again... the FreeBSD foundation also followed suit, even though one could argue that this decision was a bit controversial considering the license (GPL3). I still recall (and support) the active movement to get rid of GCC in favor of Clang; as far as I recall mostly driven...

Good call, but I'd also suggest adding -x so that you don't have to type out the full name.

I see where you're coming from, but that's the whole point; something covered in "other ways", amongst which sticky bits but mostly mtree.

I can definitely respect that, but at the same time you can also turn this around: if Git wasn't all that great then why did it gain such a massive userbase? Now, I obviously don't know how you guys are using Git but as a die-hard Git fan(boy?) myself I can't help but wonder if it's really Git...

I know the issue already got marked as solved, but... When you're in doubt about the building process then all you have to do is run more /usr/src/Makefile: One of the many cool perks of FreeBSD's documentation process I think, don't bother to remember commands; just remember where you can...
