Ha! I never said it is router and router only. And what's this "mailserver not possible" talk? Mailserver can be also for LAN use, sometimes receiving mail from outside is important and sending is not, outgoing mail can be relayed thru ISP mail server, etc. I have people sending mail locally to...

Can you attach some storage to it? And run mail and web server?

RockPro64 is interesting but not as easy solution as it seems. Need a box for it, some cooling, space for hard drive, and need to figure out how to add a second ethernet port to it. OTOH, I have a Dell Optiplex 780 right here, with three gigabit ports, all Intel NICs. Looks like a winner to me.

D2500 here. I'm using CPUTYPE?=native, perhaps there is some regression which is affecting just me. I don't think there are too many users building from sources on an Atom.

It has 4 GB, and it has swap 4 GB. I shut down Unifi when building, rest of daemons do not require much resources. I've kept an eye on it, every time I look there is at least 500 MB free and more than 2 GB inactive. No sign of OOM killer in action anywhere in the logs. I'm in process building a...

Thanks for replies. It is 64 bit. I've ruled out hardware fault, now it has been three times when it segfaults in exactly same place and same command, with different set of sources. Heck, every time it takes two days to get there. I hope there is no law against torturing old computers ... Here...

I have this old Atom, working as my router. Running FreeBSD since ... shortly after fall of Roman Empire. Sometimes when running portupgrade it starts telling me my OS is no longer supported, then I get the sources and do make buildworld, plus all the jazz what comes with it. Now it fails. I...

What am I missing? I installed ports tree using git clone and it is usable, I can use make install in ports. /usr/ports # portupgrade -a [Reading data from pkg(8) ... - 84 packages found - done] Fetching the ports index ... /usr/bin/env fetch -am -o /usr/ports/INDEX-13.bz2...

Most of home users run an OS which should never be connected to the internet and cause incredible damage to legit businesses and in the end general population is footing the bill - all business losses and expenses are passed to the customer. For instance, uncertified vehicles are not allowed to...

My ISP replaced some equipment around here, now there is a block on port 80 ... had to redirect. I've been living in this location for 15 years now, it is the first time they block ports ...

I don't think this is true. Wall Street wouldn't be running on Linux then, they count microseconds there. Anyhow, you ask why. It happened in previous century. I forgot my Debian Potato mail server running without upgrading and it got hacked. I fixed that, and then started looking around what...

I do not use KDE, but I know it used to honor settings in fstab, not any more?

I've never chosen FreeBSD for speed. I recall in one of predecessors of these forums about 12-15 years ago someone complained their Linux web server is on the limit (they were running some sort of porn site) and tried FreeBSD instead. To their disappointment FreeBSD wasn't able to get even 50%...

Confusing! You could say MX records are for receiving, because if you do not have it your receiving server won't be found. :p

What has DE to do with workload? My machine has also 16 GB of RAM, it runs virtual machines and web browsers. I do not need a bloated DE for this.

OK, it is unclear what you need help with? Shell is not working?

Yeah, this is the title. Is there any operating system which is ready for all desktop users? Not to mention desktop environment is not part of operating system. There are many DE-s which run on different operating systems ...

Xorg up and running using less than 100 MiB of RAM. Does everything a computer can do. Why should I get some bloated DE? This is not a rhetorical question. I really would like to know.

I never understood what is the advantage of a bloated DE, I use minimalist OpenBox with some added goodies for taskbar and quick launch and it does everything I ever need. Indeed, I never use GUI tools for system setup, I have none of those. Is this why people use Gnome and KDE, GUI tools for...
