Decades ago, I went to a customer site in the early morning to fix a problem. What I thought would take a few hours took just a few minutes. With a lot of time to spare, and knowing they needed maintenance on their system (physically cleaning their spinning platters), I thought I'd knock that...

Don't most other OS installs include the same things? And isn't installing them optional? I don't see the issue. I agree with everyone that FreeBSD should continue to be held to a high technical standard and not be held down to compliance of corporate interests, the everyman or gamers.

Actually, they are designing to the platform that uses those. The platform has the requirement, not the applications. Actually, maybe FreeBSD should become the base platform that can run all others (easily). You want some special Linux app or Windows app? FreeBSD can run both at the same time...

Yep. The Klara guys are really top notch.

If you're not in that area, why do you need the light on? If you are there, why can't you just flick the switch yourself.? Second verse, same as the first: It's a method for complicating your life more than necessary.

It's a method for complicating your life more than necessary.

Just comment out line 32 of your config and you're good to go!

Ah the good ol' days and my first introduction to FreeBSD.

Hmm. You would think I would know but I'm not sure. I guess it would depend on what you were manufacturing.

Since LLMs were brought up, and I mentioned my disdain for them elsewhere, a few days ago I wanted to remove my old Nvidia 9600GT graphics card which I've had in my system since forever. I wanted to use the built in Intel graphics ability of my i7 processor. I was wondering if it was possible to...

Almost every good job I ever had I got through talking directly to someone in charge. Sometimes I'd fake the reason I was calling just to get through to personnel or the guy doing the hiring. It often works or at least they help point me in the right direction. In your case, you'll have to be...

Oh? Doesn't sound like it. Sounds like modern FreeBSD on the whole is pretty good. :)

Possibly because he's calling his directories "folders". All I ever hear about BTRFS is the possibility of losing one's data and that's all I need to know about any downsides.

I first tried installing FreeBSD 1.0 decades ago and couldn't make heads or tails about it. Several years later I installed 5.0 without issue. It's a matter of stepping away from something for a bit when you're struggling with it. Sometimes for an hour or two or a day or two or, in my case, for...

I'm not used to Discord. I never use it. Three years ago I signed in to see what it was like and felt like I was dropped into the middle of someone else's conversations and I didn't want to interrupt. Which made me felt left out and didn't know how to break in. I went there late last night and...

Isoux My sister-in-law's ex-husband had a hand in manufacturing the case for the one in the first picture. No one could explain to me exactly what he did but I know he moved to China to oversee its manufacture.

While driving around today, I thought of five of them but only remember this one. Post yours. Back in the 1970s, I briefly worked for a CT scanner company. CT scanners were new back then and only scanned your head. I would help install them in hospitals and doctors offices (who thought they...

And we are never, EVER throwing ANY of them away!!

Not all of them. You can't see in the photo but there are a lot of bookmarks in some of them from years ago.
