fwiw, chatbots gave me code that didn't work three times and a layout for my garden once that wasn't usable. So there's my counterpoint but shows that AI is not always correct or even close.

I have to add that I'm over fed up with hearing about so-called Linux gurus and yet another useless distribution.

DHH is not a kernel engineer. You're parading nonsense from a mere Ruby developer about what a prestigious project like FreeBSD should do. AI coded or not; a Linux distro is a Linux distro - it's nothing special. Interview fluff doesn't change...

I'm actually quite tired of all the AI focused threads on the bsd forums. Intelligent people understand the dangers, yet intelligence and business interests never seem to co-exist well...and at the rate we are going, shortly there wont be any...

What wrote the BSD code base?

Not sure what you mean by woke. Are you racist, a misogynist or homophobe? That's the type who usually uses woke as a bad thing, at least here in the US. If you are then, by all means continue to use the word. On the other hand, what people in...

$ pkg search -o qemu-guest-agent emulators/qemu QEMU CPU Emulator (guest agent)

This. If someone wants to discuss Linux - do so in the appropriate place. Not here this is a FreeBSD forum.

Well said. Who will repair the robots that repair the robots that repair everything? And now, if I see one more posting generated by some AI, I'll frown upon it mightily. Get it? Got it! Good.* *bonus points for the one knowing the movie...

Indeed; there is quite a similarity. Its a weird hype distro. It will be gone in less than a year. CrunchBang was the previous generation hype distro but things like Bazzite, Omarchy are in the same genre. Its funny how nothing changes. Pre 2010...

Look like that never press 'help" in GIMP but today I try and it doesn't works off line and not online. I got: I have installed gimp-help-en but I am using packages. Is it possible with some settings to use offline, please?

It's possible but I don't know what extra items enabling that would need or if it is even supported. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/130818 seems to say it's not or not in FreeBSD base versions. However, installing date via pkg...

ajoeiam So you weren't following the Handbook?

Maybe make -n of the port that has flavors and grep out the dependency builds that it triggers with this flavor enabled, and hope you recognize the special case port?

I turned off dbus on my 15.3-RELEASE and rebooted. service dbus status shows dbus is not running. pkg info -r dbus shows which packages installed dbus as a dependency: firefox-154.0.1,2 chromium-151.0.7922.137_2 qt6-base-6.11.1...

Given (1) a ports tree and (2) the name of a package that is a non-default flavor of a differently named port, how do I find which port it is coming from? E.g. qemu-guest-agent

It sounds reasonable. AI as how it is now doesn't seem to be somehow constructive and able to create something useful that was never done before. Are there even things invented by an AI system that are not copied from public data but real new...

I actually had a W520 for a while at work, back when they were the latest thing. The theory was that the company could replace a real desktop PC and a separate laptop with a single big laptop. It didn't really work out because the W520 was a...

then they have to completely dump it all and start from scratch, costing them a lot of money and ruining their whole business model. That's why one should stop adding garbage like captchas or that annoying weeb-filter which only p*ss of humans...

The site is useful as a case study. If you understand that, it's not necessarily harmful. From what I gather, AI in search engines will determine what is believed by most humans, right or wrong. It will say, things which haven't been discovered...

OK, new detail. The above rejection and message appears only when using mail(1) on the command line. Mail coming in via SMTP for the same addresses in cons.org work fine and are delivered as they should. Now I am even more confused.

The Linux kernel has a very liberal interpertation of what should be a CVE: "almost any bug might be exploitable to compromise the security of the kernel, but the possibility of exploitation is often not evident when the bug is fixed. Because of...

Yes, it seems. I never dig into it %> service minidlna list /usr/local/etc/rc.d/minidlna: unknown directive 'list'. Usage: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/minidlna...

Doesn't the rc.d service have commands for rescanning and rebuilding database? /usr/ports/net/minidlna/files/minidlna.in extra_commands="rescan rebuild" rescan_cmd="$command -r -u $minidlna_uid -f %%PREFIX%%/etc/minidlna.conf"...

Let's provide some data here.

as far as we can tell the LLM is either strictly inferior or at best "roughly equivalent to chance" than any other technique, and the only reason it isn't being laughed out of the room is the zillions of dollars being poured into it by the same...

The service was stopper after rescan (wait 30 seconds before stopping it, I do not know how many time it gets to rescan) and restart it after 2 seconds

As I said, both are in local-host-names and show up when testing the Cw macro.

Little something I've been chopping together - forked hikari and brought to wlroots 0.20 and forked rofi to get that layer-shell action which hikari was lacking It's honestly pretty amateur stuff but I really like it - links if you wanna use -...

Run tzsetup. And make sure to update your system (timezones are regularly updated due to shifting summer/winter times). https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=325325 Don't do this if you dual boot the machine with Windows or any...

I have a basic GIMP 3 installation but help for me works (online and in italian) selecting help from menu or pressing F1. In configuration is selected online version (Usa la versione online), opens in browser (Firefox), LANG=it_IT.UTF-8.

15.0 is not in chronological order from 14.4 . 14.4R was released later and have features (from CURRENT-16 -> STABLE-14 -> releng/14.4), that are not in 15.0R, and these features could be incompatible with 15.0R. It is the result of the...

Could you clarify - "I then upgraded from 14.4 to 15"? Was it 15.0 or 15.1 . FreeBSD documentations says, that upgrade is allowed in chronological order [1]. You cannot upgrade to 15.0, it is "previous" version. I will not go into details about...

It looks to me like just further evolved search engines. I don't care what any prompt webservice with LLM can generate for me. What does it know in detail? How much answers can it provide to questions that can only have 1 valid answer? The...

The timezone database is disabled? $ fgrep _LIBCPP_HAS_TIME_ZONE_DATABASE lib/libc++/__config_site #define _LIBCPP_HAS_TIME_ZONE_DATABASE 0

Hm, that's possible if you never refresh things and it's not stored dry,

with chromium not running, rename ~/.config/chromium and ~/.cache/chromium chromium should create a fresh config.

Works normal on FF

I am transitioning a mailserver to a new FreeBSD install. The configuration is / should be almost identical. Should be easy, right? I get "schlepper sendmail[10502]: 67TIXqoB010502: SYSERR(cracauer): MX list for knight.cons.org points back to...

When re-installing LXDE-META I noticed that BASH was installed, so the problem may well have started when I deleted BASH. Now after a reinstall of LXDE-META and reboot my system appears to be fixed.

LXDE is based on Openbox and it looks like something has broken but I don't delve into the underlying configuration. I have always just installed it and it works, although I remember similar problems previously which seemed to disappear over time.

Get the distfiles and try a source buiid? I wouldn't rely on precompiled binaries for such old system. It's unnecessary dependency. You can lose the provider or the exact file versions.

Incidentally Alt-tab will no longer switch between X and terminal. It is probably part and parcel of the same underlying problem.

Original article here. Consider this when replying. The first Release Candidate build for the FreeBSD 14.5 release cycle is now available. ISO images for the amd64, i386, armv7, aarch64, powerpc, powerpcspe, powerpc64, powerpc64le, and riscv64...
