That is the initial way to use FreeBSD I think. Pkg support was only provided since FreeBSD version 7, I think. While precompiled pkgs ease some things, they also take your customization choices away.

That would be interesting whether the FreeBSD OS developer team would write its own X or wayland alternative. Wasn't there X12 developed somewhere, or was it just a meme ?

We don't really care about Gnome. But the Gtk project is now under their umbrella. That is the one to reinstate X11 support if they ever stop maintaining it. Strangely I do maintain a fork of Gtk2 (that sits ontop of SDL2 for some graphics...

I mean at least as attackers. Since an abandoned version which is no longer developed is an easy target for script kiddies.

Yeah, since acme.py is about to die as it uses must0staple, I am trying to find another client to use. Using my valid cSR which works with other client acme.sh spits this out. "It seems that the subject is not a valid domain name. Dropping...

The keylogger argument is an old one. Effectively it has been proven not to work because the program doesn't have access to the MIT_MAGIC_COOKIE so cannot connect to an existing X11 server. Likewise, what if I *wanted* to record my key presses...

If FreeBSD drop Xorg I'll install it from sources my self! :)

Here's FreeBSD 15 running on a Pinephone Pro with a default install of IceWM :) No network, no touch input, no USB, so it's pretty much useless at this stage, but hey! I got a legit screenshot 😁

I never understood this, Visual C is not visual at all compared to the competitors. I suspect it was just another classic Microsoft wordplay to confuse people and cash in on the success of Visual Basic at the time (which *was* friendly for...

Blimey, it's almost 13 years ago (Forums were on phpBB back then I believe) https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/new-moderator-sirdice.32679/

This would be 14.3-RELEASE, which is scheduled to be available on or after May 30. If you are eager to try it earlier, you can try stable/14 (14.3-PRERELEASE). This branch has the TPM 2.0 emulation also implemented.

Well, there is always the risk that a commercial vendor ruins the software in "updates". Which happened to vBulletin. But it didn't happen to Xenoforo yet.

Thats fine. The Rust guys claim to simultaneously both support and not-support exceptions depending on whatever argument and narrative they are trying to give that moment ;) I don't think a C transpiler is necessarily a good approach (Bjarne...

They had problem with 2.1.1 version and looks like 2.1.2 works. Wait a little more, 2.1.0 works.

I'd say rust is the smaller problem. Before going further, I would like to see a solution to the crates swamp that is lurking under the surface. How do they plan to reign that dependency hell in?

Not enough resources to support LibreSSL, but able to add a giant Rust dependency to userland? No, thanks. https://hardenedbsd.org/article/shawn-webb/2018-04-30/hardenedbsd-switching-back-openssl

Shawn Webb's post highlights the issue quite well. Thats basically where it has already failed. There is going to be multiple hundreds of these things for an entire userland (all fragile bindings against POSIX stuff and other micro-dependency...

You are misreading the error message. BLASLIB single selection is the problem, nothing to do with the license.

A lack of RAM (physical memory) generally doesn't lead to a SEGV (a virtual memory concept). I'm not sure the OP is still around.

I don't think that compile-to-C ever worked well for any language implementation. Just implementing exceptions is mostly impossible.

This: Four disks of gstripe and: Data that sounds valuable. This is the wrong way to use RAID0. You use it on things like scratchdisk not something valuable. Using it on a four disk array was suicide.

No, fsck should and does work with large filesystems. Yours isn't particularly large. The workflow: $ gdb fsck (gdb) r -y /dev/stripe/gs0p1 # wait for segfault (gdb) bt # backtrace will be printed

If you can boot the rescue, you can at least have a look at the partitioning of the disk (gpart show), that might provide additional clues. If it's MBR vs. GPT, or if there is an efi partition or not. The prompt looks like it came from boot2...

I quite liked maintaining PunBB (now FluxBB) back in my OpenCDE days. Granted I didn't need very sophisticated anti-spam filters so they would likely be inadequate for the FreeBSD forums. I must admit, I do not like Discourse. It looks really...

We started off on phpBB, but updating it proved to be quite a chore, especially with regards to various anti-spam plugins we used.

I think it's all in the last sentence: why avoid depending on proprietary software in the first place when said software can get things done? In my opinion that alone gives you a good first impression as to what the generic FreeBSD mindset really...

I can also report graphics/nvidia-drm-61-kmod works with the GSP firmware, and I can launch Sway. Performance wise, though, it's not yet there, unfortunately is not usable.

A few alternatives were considered, but it's been so long ago I can't remember which ones. Might be able to find some old posts in the Moderators section.

Did you perhaps change UEFI boot to BIOS (aka CSM) boot? Because this looks like the MBR boot prompt. And what happens if you just press 'enter'?

Ok, reported. Any feedback will help clarify best practices for the future. I'll get the hang of it eventually, -if- I find lots of bugs. :)

vBulletin was good but jumped the shark. Doesn't help it is owned by a used car dealer. -ish

Espionage724, from my understanding, you're describing something more akin to Canonical's Snap, than Flatpak, which is more similar to Steam's runtime. There is a common userland, under which all manners of hacky changes are performed to...

My understanding is that this is actually not the case, as in, it's difficult to know what a library is a dependency of. One basic lib very well could be so popular, that it's a dependency of more upstream projects than you can imagine. This is a...

Thank you so much, it works!!

What about vBulletin or IPB? Those were easy with PHP (I used XAMPP with WoW servers back then :p)

It's fine, as long as you have zero plugins. Once you go down that path upgrade/updating phpBB itself quickly becomes a daunting task.
