I have Invidious installed in a podman container in a Ubuntu bhyve vm https://github.com/NapoleonWils0n/cerberus/blob/master/freebsd/invidious-bhyve.org https://github.com/iv-org/invidious When you play a youtube video using mpv it uses yt-dlp in the backend to get the stream links so there...

Have you used flua for your own tasks? It's fascinating to me that FreeBSD now ships with a full-fledged Lua interpreter (Lua 5.3 in FreeBSD 13 and Lua 5.4 in FreeBSD 14). This is a big step up in scripting capability compared to traditional shell, awk, and sed. The Developers' Handbook...

In this how-to I am going to show you how to configure neovim to act like a small and efficient UI IDE for various programming languages. Neovim is going to be configured in lua. Before beginning you need the following packages installed, or ports build: -> editors/neovim -> www/npm -> Clangd...

A simple Question haunts Me: Standard Installation of FreeBSD 14.2 with Root on ZFS (on a Single Disk) uses a Regular BootLoader «/boot/loader_lua» (zfsloader & loader are actually Hard Links to the same File). Its operability is Proved by the fact that when you Change the Menu Item in...

Is there a way to make FreeBSD's boot loader read (or re-read) the config files (like /boot/loader.conf) after you have escaped from the menu to the boot loader prompt? When I read the sources in /boot/lua it seems like there should be a "read-conf" command, but it doesn't exist when I try from...

Hello, I'm posting in off-topic since this is not FreeBSD specific. I decided to give a try yo x11-wm/awesome again and this time it worked greatly but there are few thing that some times drive me crazy. I suppose it has more to do with Lua programming than Awesome. I prefer to use the...

I’ve learned Lua versions are indeed versions and installed 54 when it looks like I need 51: How do I go about locating all 54 and removing them and anything that would be left thinking of it? This includes Luasec luarocks - pretty much anything that ends in 54 and move properly to 51.

I can't install FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE or FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT on my notebook. I get the following error message when I try to boot / install from the USB flash drive. Consoles: EFI console Reading loader env vars from /efi/freebsd/loader.env FreeBSD/amd64 EFI loader, Revision 1.1 (Thu Nov 4...

I have little experience with ports and I don't understand what I should do. I always have the option to install everything from source, though... I'm running FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE on my main computer and also at a VPS. In the latter, the ports collection is not installed. net-im/Prosody...

Hi, I'm having some trouble trying to install FreeBSD on my Pentium 3. I burned a disk with the FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso, and when I try to install it on the Pentium 3 PC I get this error: lua error cannot open /boot/lua/load.lua no such file or directory. So at first I thought maybe...

Well not to cause aflame war but what are everyone's thoughts? Forth versus Lua. I am researching an old 1984 Byte magazine and I notice whole article about forth, So it is an old-timer. But to technical specifics, Isn't forth an interpreted language, not compiled, similar to Lisp. Not binary...

Hi there, I just created a little vm and installed the latest lua53 from pkgng. I am unable to use a c Shared Object with my lua app and I get the following error: dynamic libraries not enabled; check your Lua installation My understanding of this (I believe I corrected it once before)...
