    Those of you who have used GhostBSD please share your experience

    you can use a 3rd window manager, fully customizable, if you first remove the components that boot you into Xfce or MATE, thence many freebsd configurations besides those have been already done, saving you hours of time, at least in my case. [ Sorry to not know which components... ]

    Would like simple instructions for audacity or obs-studio or ardour8 usb microphone recording

    There are tutorials using Linux on the web but for prior versions and the instuctions in threads seem to pertain to those prior versions [ that is, need updating ] and I cannot ascertain how to use them, as instructed, at first glance ... [ though I did get audacity to record a .wav, I think...

    Unresponsive system after upgrade to 13.3

    I believe usb disks are poor targets for rsync because the program runs many instances of itself, if you want it to continue being responsive [ but the backup will take much longer ] use the --bwlimit= parameter. For USB I would use 900 and see if the lockups are fixed, and bump it up if so...

    palemoon and seamonkey and firefox broken by new gtk3

    The gtk2 version works, the gtk3 version does not, and SUCCESS! on displaying urls's such as in the first post. "old.reddit.com/r/weather/.rss" as usable. Thanks!. This is a workaround until hopefully seamonkey works again.

    palemoon and seamonkey and firefox broken by new gtk3

    This is inconvenient not only because I cannot fix it so far by a simple libmap.conf edit, as I have backups with the working libraries but not how to stitch them together this time; but seamonkey was the only browser I found that could still display, for example, an rss enabled webpage as a...

    Installing FreeBSD from source compiling everything (like in Gentoo Linux)

    Off topic, but I conjecture if the majority of users using freebsd-update began building from source instead, new version releases would have less gotcha's than, say, the v 13 v14 one, also, more blogs and threads would be up for those who build install from source to have a checklist before...

    Late-breaking FreeBSD 14 breakage

    Updating the bootcode is needed for ZFS systems only? or all upgrades from v13 to v14? And/or, only if using freebsd-update vs from source?

    Solved CURRENT-14 now stable-14 or current-15?

    the $ABI for current-14 now no longer works for pkg. What is put in Freebsd.conf to have a STABLE-14 working when the uname shows a nonexistant current-14 and maybe the latter fact means no $ABI is possible? Anyone with a working example? Not a question for those not "upgrading" from CURRENT...

    What do you think about Google's WEI (Web Environment Integrity) initiative?

    As this thread discusses bots, I was perm-banned from a very popular forum unexpectedly, all I did was submit a lengthy on-topic reply to a popular thread. reason for ban: Bot, type: Permanent, Restoration: Never. and I'm "what on earth?" Anyone know what could have prompted that ban?
