Hello, I'm not a developer, but working as designer in software development. As many other designers nowadays, we're using Figma as a main tool.

# The thread was opened with the idea of installing Bhyve-server in an old amd server with 13.1 command line, the first few posts relate to the errors / limitations during install in that server. After that I moved on to install in in a desktop with kde5. The errors mentioned in the first few...

Update 2023-12-20 This guide applies only to the VMware based "Virtual Server Cloud" VPS servers, which have been discontinued in mid 2023 and replaced with the "VPS Linux" servers. Due to problems with getting IPv6 to work reliably with the IONOS VPS, I have also updated the IPv6 Networking...

It started during the night with re0 losing connection and toggling link state between...

Hello everyone, as you can see in the title, I'm having some trouble trying to make a load balancer on one of my FreeBSD servers. I don't know why but the configuration that I'm giving to apache looks fine, because it's giving me a "syntax ok" when I restart the service, but asks me if the...
