Lately I've been using FreeBSD more and more as my primary desktop operating system, and I've been pleasantly surprised by how well it works not only for software development but also for reverse engineering. The FreeBSD Ports Collection already...

They were very young

Second. That's exactly why I'm using FreeBSD. To me all Linux I experienced so far was constant tinkering just to keep the system running. To me many Linux users are masochists who have too much time and no idea what they actually shall do with...

I dont get it either. Im just forwarding what i heard about it. Worst of all, crap like this has a huge user base and following. So huge that it makes me question my own sanity. Are we just too old and stubborn and we dont get it? Are we living...

Indeed. I created the FreeBSD port for radare2 back in 2011 and I am *still* learning it ;)

How swap bays can certainly cause issues Memory issues can show itself in many odd ways

Enshitification of freebsd. Projects like these are cancer. They bring shitty linux ideas to freebsd.

So how do you know that, then? There aren't even any screenshots of this slop.

I see a red flag. 😫

smartctl -t long /dev/ada2, maybe?

Test under way. ... Testing has begun. Please wait 164 minutes for test to complete. Test will complete after Sun Aug 9 20:40:48 2026 CEST ...

Something seems not ready. Maybe restart the usb device with usbconfig?

How many hours on the drive? I replace customer drives at 26,000 hours which is 3 years of 24x7 operation. Best done on my schedule than on the drives schedule when it decides to die.

This is what I have: /dev/ada2 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 020 020 000 Old_age Always - 58679 /dev/ada3 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 020 020 000 Old_age Always - 58847 === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Western...

Made a mfsroot based live system 10 years ago but still after 10 years of using a normal disk installation. It runs USB-only on several locations as bookkeeping/financial and point of sale system. It's able to keep on running with the bootstick...

That's usually some kind of hardware issue, CPU / RAM (run memtest86+ for ~6-12h to verify) Faulty port/cable (replace cable and/or switch port) Dying / Overheating / crappy AHCI controller (unlikely if it's Intel on-board), some early AMD...

We have already replaced the cables with 6Gb/sec approved shielded cables, just to be sure. No difference. I could try to bypass the hot swap bay, if there are some electrical issues in the connectors. I have read about the RAM as a cause...

Thanks for the info. I wouldn't know where to start with IPv6 anyway but have already got started with my VPS from ramnode and am quite happy with the service provided and I get 20GB. This is the minimum plan and would recommend the company to...

Pipewire with jack emu didn't work for me on FreeBSD recently. Can't recall details right now, might post more next week. I recommend a real jackd with pulseaudio on top of jack for those applications that don't do jack.

Installed 15.1 to a 512MB 10GB VPS on Vultr no problem, and it reboots faster than probably any PC I've seen POST :cool: (before adding services it rebooted faster than Windows ping timeout :p) I did custom ISO with...

Original article here. Consider this when replying. The first BETA 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 architectures...

Iirc jack needed a daemon running (sndio needs sndiod); I recall jack working with cubeb set about a year ago, but didn't have pipewire involved

I have had to fix FAR more UEFI failures after Win10 updates, than trashed MBR. More complicated = more cpu cycles = more fragility in my mind. Now, Microsoft has screwed a huge number of users by controlling and changing the UEFI Secure Boot...

Very slight success chance but I remember I once had to take a picture with pwcsnap on the chosen resolution which correctly activated the camera. Without doing that, it sometimes showed a distorted view. It was a Logitech C270.

I vaguely recall something about GPU performance with UEFI GOP VBIOS vs Legacy (not sure what but I had a Radeon HD 6000 Legacy for a while and tried a GOP VBIOS for a little); this post implies something with Virtualbox and VGA ROM space, and...

The Mesa3D drivers have been notorious for taking in the entire LLVM kitchen sink (debugger and LSP server included) as a runtime dependency (There is even a FBSD Wiki entry about it). But when looked at closely, the dependency only revolves...

Glad you got it working. Thanks for coming back and letting us know.

Have you ever bought a bike, piece of furniture or tool that has the label: "as is"? You can usually test them, and make sure they're safe on your own. With minor inspection and/or repairs, it usually works out. BSD licensed software comes as is...

To be honest, if I understood correctly Krush206, what he is asking is not that BSD license became "viral", but that a customer of SONY must have access to the source code with the patches of SONY, so they can customize/fix/patch them. But this...

How to housekeep /tmp/.org.chromium*/* ? I have no idea what gets stored here but feel as though I need to tidy it up. All the directories have a SingletonCookie and a SingletonSocket. Can I simply just delete every directory? Presumably if a...

No point in rewriting the entire documentation here, you can read it yourself and decide if it is doable for you: Oracle ZFS ZVOL

I have been trying to my head round the use of emacs org noweb usage- I tried this example, but can't make head nor tail of it #+BEGIN_SRC sh :tangle yes :noweb yes :shebang #!/bin/sh <<fullest-disk>> :noweb-ref is the key mechanism in Org-mode...

FW FWIW, mount -u <mountpoint> for zfs does not work at this time on FreeBSD 14 (untested yet on 15 or later, but I don't expect any different behavior). Lots of updates have been pulled in for ZFS since 2014, of course, but it doesn't work...

scottro Thank you for the guidance. Sorry for the late reply.. I've been trying by clicking on it, right click and 'run executable' and even then trying to run in terminal.. Finally found this error. I did a 'pkg search' and came across gtkglext...

If it really matters, legal department of SONY would immediately prohibit exporting their product to Brazil and notify customs both of local and Brazil to stop their product from exporting/inporting. Much smaller companies that cannot hire enough...

That's essentially the same thing here though. If they've got to also release the source they built on top of the BSD licensed code, that pretty much converts it from being a permissive license to being a copyleft license. The main difference...

Tools like cbsd (and every other jail/bhyve orchestrator in the daemon-sphere) make local sandboxing really nice as well. For reverse-engineering, having that flexibility to spin up other environments on a whim is pretty nice. And then there are...
