I think we're over complicating this. Why not new FreeBSD users use ZFS? I installed a FreeBSD VM at $JOB. I use it as an end user. Not as a developer but as a regular everyday end-user. I don't buildworld there. I don't install ports there...

To revert the cursor back, put about:config in the address line. Search for the widget.gtk.legacy-cursors.enabled option and change it to true.

There's also zathura-pdf-mupdf which works well for me on pdfs, epubs, and (I think) cbrs. I just don't read that many comics and can't swear that I've used it on cbr. For me, it opens right away. I have a little script, more of an alias really...

Just a quick report, no issues so far on AMD Mendocino [Radeon 610M]

Hey I wasn't replying to LLM part specifically. But about the attempt of Linux (the project) to draw new developer blood by introducing a language that is rising in popularity. My claim is it's never the language, but the domain.

This story wasn't ended yet. Is ended yesterday,with a refund from my bank after speaking with the complaints office. I told them that I'm ready to accept my 50% of responsability,but not totally,because in my personal view,it's not regular that...

Is your user a member of the video group?

All my books and comics are organized with Calibre - great. I usually make sure to buy books in epub format, and comics in cbr / cbz format. But sometimes you can't choose - and end up with PDF format. Yuck. For PDF documents, I normally use xpdf...

The major thing that AI does not have -- because it is not designed to -- is "good judgement". FreeBSD is not perfect as using good judgement as to what code makes it into the tree, but at least there is a preference for it. As to what quality...

Workstation running FreeBSD: I have one laptop HP Zbook 15 G3 and one desktop HP Z600. The desktop one is a dual quadcore Xeon X5570. Two screens wired on an Nvidia Quadro K2000. The Z600 was used for CAD/CAE, but I changed software (FreeCAD ->...

That change is quite a few days old. Looks like the 13 packages are a bit behind. One brutal way to fix this would be to reinstall all of /usr/local. Maybe you have a bad file somewhere.

This is a known issue, see open Bug 254763 grep very slow with 13.0-RC4 from 2021-04-04, no progress in the matter so far. % ls -l /usr/bin/grep /usr/bin/fgrep -r-xr-xr-x 4 root wheel 29888 Nov 11 14:51 /usr/bin/fgrep* -r-xr-xr-x 4 root...

Companies don't replace software engineers with LLMs. They just keep at a much lower headcount and expect each existing engineer to do multiple times as much with the help of machine learning. That open headcount goes right over to hiring...

Yes, this is normal. Unfortunately. I think it might be included in the foundation's SIMD efforts for string functions in FreeBSD. There is a port for the GNU grep versions.

Please post output of pciconf -lv | grep -B 3 display pkg info | grep kmod kldstat Is there a xorg configuration file configured? See if there is a dump device configured first: dumpon -l If there isn't, define one: /etc/rc.conf # nda0p2...

It means huge corporations with thousands of engineers and managers find they don't need them anymore at the moment due to the economics of their business and the world. It does not mean AI has replaced them all. In fact, I'm more sure of that...

Original article here. Consider this when replying. FreeBSD, The FreeBSD Foundation, and The FreeBSD Forums are not associated with the content of this article.

That's a path issue, which has nothing to do with different default versions of perl, openssl or anything else. On FreeBSD ports/packages install in ${LOCALBASE}, which is typically /usr/local/. Packages in the FreeBSD repositories are built...

use jmtpfs, when you plug the phone to the computer run jmtpfs -o allow_other mount_point as root thats it, run your file manager an access your phone files

The required changes haven't been applied to the port, naturally the port won't build then ffmpeg with the LIBSWSCALE_7 and LIBAVCODEC_60 symbols, necessary for xfreerdp and vncviewer. This issue seems not be reported yet on...

Being in tech for a while, you get used to the rollercoaster of vaporware :) Those are both different questions to your previous post. And the one I answered. For this question. The "AI" algorithms today are not a risk, regardless of computing...

Hi everyone, I thought it would be interesting to have a dedicated thread where we can share actual FreeBSD workstations — not just hardware lists, but real systems that people actively use, along with a screenshot of the running environment...

The simplicity is its strength.

Why? You let yourself be affected by gimmicks in the past? Perhaps you want to take the opportunity to reflect on that. As mentioned, in this case, they are both the same. This "AI" risk you are alluding to will not happen in our lifetime. So...

FWIW I just compiled the rust port on 13.5-RELEASE-p6 with no problems.

Report on freebsd-wireless@FreeBSD.org mailing list. The developer of the iwlwifi driver (Bjoern A. Zeeb.) is asking to test, and to report issues on that list. Please test new drivers in main (iwlwifi, rtw88, rtw89)

Exactly. Ideally ports-mgmt/portmaster should be run to update all ports all at once, not just one port at a time. portmaster EXAMPLES Update all ports that need updating: portmaster -a

Does ping 8.8.8.8 work? If not you should check the configuration of that gateway host itself. You probably forgot it should NAT that outgoing traffic. Or the gateway host itself has no internet connection. The problem isn't on this host in any...

Why are you using security/openssh-portable instead of the sshd that comes with the base OS? Or did you convert this system to Pkgbase? Depends, can you still login on the console? If not, then your only course of action is to boot to single...

Mind you, you're going to have to rebuild everything that depends on libxcrypt too, or else your dependency chain will be wrecked.

That's one way. Another is to follow specific users, then look at Your news feed, which will only show posts from the people you're following. It won't show threads though, just their posts.

Can't enable an option that doesn't exist in the forum software. Apparently there are addons that can do this, but we like to keep the addons to a bare minimum. Addons regularly cause problems when upgrading the forum software itself.

Maybe I should have described it more precisely how to proceed. pkg del -f libxcrypt or ports/security/libxcrypt # make deinstall This will remove only libxcrypt, not the packages depending on it.

Privileged opcode. I am afraid I don't know what that means in a Rust context. In C++ code sequences with those are sometimes inserted to mark error code paths. I also don't know why there is a segfault but the corefile is from a SIGILL. At...

Thank you.

Everything that was said in this thread still stands. But instead of focusing on taking all the advice that was given to him, he chose to focus on whos fault this was. Its one thing to just bash someone without giving him any advice, but its...

Nobody whacked Mario here. We expressed our opionon on the matter. You can have your opinion too. Whether you are tired of it is irrelevant. In recent years, decade, I noticed the forum "atmosphere" changed, to the worse in my opinon. Well, also...

Pick a better mirror. There's a whole list of third parties that provides up to date images. For me ftp2.nl.freebsd.org is super fast, faster than ftp.nl.freebsd.org (I suspect they're throttling downloads)...

DEFAULT_VERSIONS didn't exist 15 years ago. It was implemented 3 years after this thread ended. 377fc0342d3f2f3229c06321c39421698dfa1947
