I've abandoned SVN (used since the dawn of time), now www/gitea on my LAN (about 3 years)

What specific hardware is that true for?

Can disable Management Engine on Intel, but haven't heard of anything about disabling or opting-out AMD PSP

I tried that often with ZFS but I never noticed any improvement of adding a latest gen 256GB m.2 drive as cache or mirror to a pool of mech drives. More RAM is much better if you want performance. It would start to improve if you're on memory...

Hi Phishfry, I really appreciate all your additional information, but it makes it harder for me to decide. :( Maybe the 94xx with only 8i? Do you have any experience with the surplus place that you linked to? Kindest regards, M

When I burned CD's at maximum speed, my CD's didn't burn correctly. My CD's burned incorrectly when it was at the default of higher speeds. When I lowered the speed to 24X, maybe 32X, not sure, it burned correctly. Try any lower speed, then...

Hi everyone. I've had a sick urge to try installing FreeBSD on an old PS4. With Claude's help, I don't want to limit myself to installing a truncated or unusable version; I'd like to take it a step further. It's an experiment and an attempt to...

I use the Asus Prime branded AM4 board. Works fine, does ECC. I think the Prime AM5 boards are equally good, but of course the memory costs much more.

As would a good old google search (or any other search engine).I cannot count the number of times my dad called me for some problem he was having. Had been searching all day, never finding anything worthwhile. I typically find whatever he was...

You need a auto-regenerating atom surface to recover from displacement by friction. It may not use more energy than 1 impact generates. This way, a kinetic steel ball bounce system keeps on going forever. (In a vacuum)🤓

Hi Phishfry, ha ,ha, of course I am asking for an opinion. Is it not logical to inquire with with someone who has the experience? I am little confused about the "clone" adjective. As I understand from the research so far, the heart of the...

hruodr A few years ago, I was still running on RamNode with 32-bit FreeBSD. I put in a ticket and asked about changing to the current version 64-bit. They said, "Sure" and made the iso available. I installed that as a regular installation goes in...

I have a bunch of LSI controllers, including the 9211-8i. It used to be a popular controller a decade or so ago, but it's downside is the high power consumption in conjunction with a tiny heatsink that will fail to dissipate the heat properly...

Hi Phishfry, thank you again. I looked at e-bay, and indeed there are some Lenovo's. Is Inspur a good brand or should I go with Supermicro for a few more $? Well, as I have Supermicro motherboard, I will go with Supermicro. Kindest regards, M

SAS3 bring some incredible speeds for Enterprise SAS SSD. They get near NVMe speeds out of some drives. I am seeing 1200MB/s

Yes I think it is i540(2 port) and i740(4 port) Lenovo SAS card that have LSI93xx and are the cheapest used because they suck. Sometimes misrepresented on ebay. Not worth your time.

Hi cracauer@, thank you for the reply. I did not look at the 93xx series as it is for 12GB speed. Will it be backward compatible with slower drives? Hi Phishfry, thank you for the reply. So as not to buy a wrong card, it will say something...

When you plan to start the lawsuit vs Sony or some other rich company?

Stay away from the Lenovo LSI versions of 93xx. They use different firmware and suck. I like to stay away from anything MegaRAID. True you can flash them to anything but more hassle. Plus some have Battery Backup modules that are not worth the...

The LSI 92xx take quite a bit more idle power than the 93xx. I'd get the newer ones. Otherwise these are workhorses and still recommended.

My implementation is in JavaScript (and is in heavy development state) and only works with ports, not packages, it can be however easily ported to C++. Apart this, sh can be run in a fresh installed system, it does not require other ports to...

Forgot to mention. One of what hidden dependencies harm would be noticed in cases like below. Port C chanded its ABI (regardless API is kept backward compatible or not). Port B is fixed (simple PORTREVISION bump is sufficient if API is kept...

It would be because the very first developer of portupgrade chose ruby over sh to handle complicated dependency graph. And, if I recall correctly, ruby-haters started developing portmaster in sh.

Layer of cash... That's what stands between me and the next SSD I order from Amazon. 😂 If I had cash, I'll get a beer. :beer:

if_iwlwifi_load="NO" would not load the module when the kernel starts at boot. devmatch_blocklist="if_iwlwifi" prevents it from being automatically loaded after the kernel started. /boot/loader.conf has settings that are done before the kernel...

Greetings all, I would like to add several additional drives to my server, but all the motherboard's SATA ports are already occupied. I remember having had asked about an HBA working with ZFS few years ago, but the search function cannot find...

Just managed to create a virtual server with oracle linux in oracle-cloud and login to it. Cryptic names, latency in the web site, had to guess with help of AI, non transparent, takes a lot of time. It offers a wonderful virtual server with ARM...

I don't know how useful this will be, but: I've used Synth for years. It has always done a lot of scanning to figure out what is related to what, and how so. Plus, ever since FLAVOR became a thing, Synth has always taken even longer -- a...

Hi SirDice, thank you for the reply. Building all the packages for a server should not be a problem because there will be only a few (based on review of packages installed on my existing server). I am more concerned about a workstation...

I would say it really depends on what you need customized, and how often you update packages. If it is just a few programs you want to customize, then you could just build those from ports, lock them, and remember to rebuild if you want to...

That's the "best" way and will make sure all package dependencies line up correctly with your custom options. Really only for the first build. After that you simply point pkg to the local custom repository, for example: dicelan: { enabled...

From multiple testings in the past and current (in virtual machines), I observed that the FreeBSD loader (gptboot, gptzfsboot and loader.efi) boots the system only if the loader is on the same disk as the system is (BIOS and UEFI), contrary to...

Closing the thread to avoid further speculation. We are genuinely concerned about his wellbeing right now and contemplating on the next step.

Had the same thing recently although can't remember exactly how long or which versions. freebsd-update has always been pretty quick for me but recent upgrades have had me worried; extremely long pauses with no output on the console. Not sure why...

I've got top notch security on my system, because I'm so broke I cannot even pay attention!

Krush206 you still don't seem to know the meaning of the word "permit". A right was granted to Sony when they came into possession of BSD-licensed code, by whatever means, to do any of three things with the code that they either modified or not...
