Migration from Xorg to XLibre. Also as ZSH is MIT licensed - inclusion into the FreeBSD Base System.

There is one complication: there are audio devices that have their basic playback functionality exported as class compliant, but they have USB controls for things like audio routing that have to be controlled by custom apps. Whether any output...

ZFS wouldn't have to be become GPL. It would just have to drop its custom license and become BSD or MIT licensed. That would make it compatible with the GPL. Realistic? No, it's Oracle.

Lol, they're already well past that point. There is no more TrueNAS SCALE or CORE. There is only TrueNAS CE (Community Edition), which is basically the continuation of SCALE.

It's not enough, the change in question removed the function altogether, not just the export. The whole revert must be therefore carried back to retain support for kernels >= 6.18.

Nah. I think he is missing the context, let's hope he never will connect with that first hand (but my hopes are slim for that. The avalance has started, it is too late for the pebbles to vote).

My goodness, NO. Who cares that ZFS becomes a "first-class" Linux filesystem? Quotes intended, of course. It's their problem, not ours.

Never had similar problem, and IDK will this help, but do not use /boot/loader.con for loading *.ko. Rather, use kld_list=" ... " in the /etc/rc.conf

To create /home/<user> directories by adduser from a system startup rc script, the file system has to be mounted first. Accordingly the # REQUIRE: FILESYSTEMS keyword should be set (see rc and /etc/rc.d/FILESYSTEMS for description): Example...

Is Reddit a receiving device designed by a minister responsible for political agitation, through which the head of state sends out rallying cries? Are you drunk?

I've found the mole.

Absolutely not. $SEARCH_ENGINE "Volksempfänger" for where this road leads.

This sounds interesting. I'd like to get into some programming, learn C, etc. Swift certainly sounds interesting as an option. Will this be something we can make FreeBSD programs on, or is it mainly going to be programming iOS apps on FreeBSD?

I have installed linux-brave in a clean FreeBSD installation... Sudo pkg install linux-brave Installing stopped ask me to include 'linux64_enable="YES" in /boot/loader.conf I have edited loader.conf, including such a code line, and again...

Are you getting useful things out of LLMs (AI chatbots)? I spent some time making a serious run with both web-based (ChatGPT and Claude via Github copilot) and local ones (ollma). The main reason is that they do things that I wouldn't have...

Is it realistic for OpenZFS to relicense under the GPL? If that ever happened, Linux users would gain enormously since ZFS could finally become a first-class, in-tree filesystem. FreeBSD users wouldn’t lose access to ZFS, but they would face...

Great news! I just got email from Dr. Uwe Waldmann that his bitmap font UW ttyp0 was released as update 2.0 and now full headline reads UW ttyp0 – Monospace Bitmap Screen Fonts for X11 and the Linux and BSD Console. New things are (quote from...

Greetings, All! This evening I felt in a creative mood, and sit, and wrote a small, rudimentary tool to display per-jail resource usage. Here is a sample run: # ./jruls -d1 jid name cpu% mem r/s read w/s writtn...

LLM is good at googling while Google is bad at it. It has been, for years. SEO has shafted any perspective of google giving relevant results.

What is the content of /usr/local/bastille/jails/server01/fstab?

If you need to be a kernel module—and if you're a file system, you really do need to be—then limiting interface access to the kernel means becoming less effective & less efficient, and more, until, at the end of the road, you're no longer...

I'm not talking about this. I'm talking about reverting the change that removed the old obsolete interface that ZFS currently uses. The old interface works perfectly fine as it is, there is absolutely no need to use the new one (which I'm sure...

Moved it to "Emulation and Virtualization", the procedure is specific to bastille.

The equivalent of that today, in English, is "Reddit".

They've been regulated for decades. Maybe a century. So, no, that's not why.

Absolutely not. $SEARCH_ENGINE "Volksempfänger" for where this road leads.

We have never gotten a consensus on how exactly it should read, and whether the overall project Code of Conduct should apply to it. We also never spelled out what the terms for making contributions are. Back N years ago when the wiki was...

The FreeBSD Bugzilla has over 10,000 PRs in it. We are trying to improve our throughput of the ones that do have patches. Most of the others are true "bug reports". Historically, feature requests have simply been buried in the noise. We...

I appreciate that SirDice has made the effort to pin a post regarding missing packages, especially the reference to the pkg-fallout Reports. My original post was nothing more, or less, than a warning to others to take care when upgrading their...

It's because java/openjdk17 has been failing to build for some time now. So everything that depends on it has gone missing. https://portsfallout.com/fallout?port=java%2Fopenjdk17%24 It's been failing on 13 and 14, so both versions are equally...

Yeah, I realized that was my thread title that could appear as clickbait-y. I tried to fix that to the best of my English knowledge (to my justification it was 2AM in the third consecutive sleepless night in a hospital bed but I guess I should...

This chap has – having been in the Sun Ra Arkestra longer than I've been alive – released his first solo album two days after his 100th birthday. That deserves full admiration. https://marshallallen.bandcamp.com/album/new-dawn

A new port by yours truly arrived: x11-fonts/gallant. It installs the gallant.pcf.gz file for use under X11. Add /usr/local/share/fonts/gallant to your font path and you should be good to go for xterm -fa '' -fn '*-gallant-*' . Note that some...

Ok. I mean it's not ok, but it is circumventable. Because you can use this device when you need it, to perform a banking operation or access e-government and then shut it down. As far as I know EU is not doing anything about FOSS and we can...

That's why radio and television are dying though.

Looks pretty serious to me. Certainly not clickbait.

Oh they do pay attention, believe me, especially HCH who is a prominent GPL evangelist. Anyways, ZFS friendly distros will probably revert the change, thus allowing ZFS to compile and I guess normal users that build their own kernel will follow...

It was a very easy to use, no problems at all, very configurable, kmenuedit was something spectacular, and oher programs very usefull. Interfase very clean, etc.

It would be nice to see it in ports. If I had a clue about porting things I would get right on it. haha

Well, I just blew 8 GBP on one from ebay... I'll post on here whether it works!

Thanks for doing that and sharing! Yeah, setting it up for local use is one thing, and is probably something a private rank-and-file user can pull off. But yeah, making a go of it - that is something that takes a LOT of metal and money, not...

I have done this and I have tried it with some ordinary level-1 trivia questions and it started hallucinating hard, inventing stuff along the way.

The so called "vibe coding" is just a step up from presenting a Figma mockup as the application demo. (Figma is something I detest more than AI)

In the same manner that all worldwide radio and television frequencies are regulated now. In the USA that might be under the FCC. I forgot which organization manages international frequencies. EDIT: Oh. Of course. It's the ITU but I'm not sure...
