Perl was removed 20 years ago or so.

For me, since I wanted to map Chromebook search key to lctrl, I needed `misc/kbdscan`. The Chromebook keyboard search key keyscan /keycode is 105 if you must know..

There's two main reasons for the delays. (1) Lack of validation. Changes need to be manually validated by a domain expert today. Some of them might be amenable to automation. But somebody with the right skills need to look at the change. It also has to be compelling enough to rise to the top of...

For UEFI, there isn't. You mount the 'efi' partition with msdos, copy the right files, etc. But you may need to tell the EFI boot manager inside your device's firmware to use that disk. You can see your old EFI partition in Boot0006. Since you got a new disk, and use gpart to create that and...

Yea. We generally, as an abstract idea, love the idea of growing our developer base. While there is some privilege guarding, I'd suspect that the bigger problem is just a resource one: We don't have a great way, sometimes, to get the patch in front of the right person (there might not be a...

Once again, I said "hey, srcmgr wants to solve this problem, please contact me or them." ykla I am very serious. I've been working on this for 5 years now and clearly haven't gotten anywhere close to solving the problem. But to date, there have been no responses to me. So I'm reiterating: if...

I have a branch that should land this in the coming weeks

Yes. To get funding, we need to be able to articulate a need. "Fix wifi," "fix graphics," or "fund the security officer" are all relatively well constrained needs that have actionable requests with measurable results. Also, these are all things the Foundation has funded. They have also solicited...

There will never be a github.freebsd.org. In so much as we will never run the on-site github tooling. However, we're working on a forge system that you can push branches to, get reviews on those branches and have a final adjudication of the commit all in one place. We'll keep most information...

Please send a similar message to srcmgr@. They are the ones most likely to help with at least src contributions and ones that are driving the github experiment.

So some things. I just saw this, even though it's been going on a few weeks. Like Mark Linimon, I've been working for years to try to eliminate the friction in contributing to the project. We're both significantly better than 5 years ago when these efforts started (at least wrt the base system)...

So the x86 servers I've had in the last 5 years or so just work with FreeBSD and PCIe/NVMe U.2 hotplug. Arm has been a mixed bag, since there's a firmware interaction and the firmware there is less mature. I've not had time to chase down the cause since I don't hotplug that often...

I'm bsdimp everywhere online. And my real name is associated with every single one of those accounts. Different social media companies display it more or less prominently... And often times, at least for people with common names, the obvious handle like MarkJohnson is already taken...

Yea, it's hard to keep up on all the places that I have to 'go out and visit'. I'm on Reddit because I'm learning Norwegian and there's a few r/norway and similar groups that support me in that. I happen to also notice FreeBSD things there, and post, but don't seek them out. forums are just a...

da0s1 is just the MBR name for the first slice. It's not pre-GEOM at all, and GEOM redid the 'slice' code we had before, but kept the names. Usually this means either (a) the volume was uncleanly mounted and the mount code in the kernel is detecting that and rejecting it. This would be true of...

Wow! Nobody ever told me about `sysutils/loader-update` I'll have to check it out.

Oh! I should have updated to the new man page. The old OTA man page had issues, that I forget, but that was long ago...

I'd also wager that the vpo sources will still build on -current, which would be easier than bhyve hacking. It's likely to produce identical results to 12.4. Is almost enough to build it. I needed to apply the following diff to get it building. I suspect the same will work in 14.1. I have no...

I do this with tailscale, which manages all the details including authorization w/o me having to worry about it too much. I use this for accessing my internal network which is behind a T-Mobile wireless gizmo with no user serviceable network config. I can also access this via my mac or windows...

I think for bhyve you'll need to do some hacking to allow it to access the real parallel port. Right now I don't think there's any parallel port support, emulated or passthrough, in Bhyve. Otherwise, that might be an option. I think the timings for the parallel port are fat and sloppy enough...
