Sadly, I have not found a solution. Using a sound card did reduce it some, yet the issue is still there.

Yup I got the same problem, SDDM takes usernames from user comment field, it can be modified with pw user mod <uid> -c <username_used_by_sddm> thanks for the hints :-)

That's gecos field from passwd. Use vipw or other passwd editor and change them.

Isn't fake news a good reason to regulate and monitor Internet? Just like the radio wave spectrum is? And y'know, trying to hide from inconvenient truths is not unique to people in power. Rank-and-file people have inconvenient realities to hide...

Can't relate. I never pull a topic off track. ;) I wonder if the AI hype will bring assembly back. For vibe coding, it tends to be a write-only approach anyway because many of the people have no idea what the LLM is churning out. So they might...

It means, the greater the power the more ducks have to get in a row to activate it. Imagine a nation where the head of state goes insane, what is in place to stop him from commiting huge atrocities using the power of the complete state? That...

As someone with an actual Computer Science degree, I can say that higher-level languages aimed at web design and UI design are really venturing away from what I see as 'real' computer science, and into realm of providing people with eye candy. In...

Generally speaking we need to know the make and model of the drive to interpret all the SMART data. The "188 Command_Timeout" value of 8590065670 can probably only be made sense of with that knowledge. The TrueNAS Hard Drive Troubleshooting...

The important part is that 196/7/8 are all zero: no uncorrectable read errors. The temperature of 38 degrees is excellent. Probably the sweet spot for disks. The only concerning thing is the age of the disk: 7.6 years, with about 10K power...

My background being electronic engineering, I grew up on machine code and assembly. When I program in C and doing things like manipulating pointers, I actually see the address lines and data lines running between the different chips and how that...

I second that. But I like IDA. There's also Ghidra. I didn't do cracking (though I did burn some midnight oil in z3 solver problems), I played CTFs, focused on pwns. That way I played around handful of architectures: x86, arm, mips, ppc. From...

Seems 0x8086:0xa7ab is not supported by graphics/drm-66-kmod. But support is already added in main branch and is subject to next drm-6.11 release.

Beckhoff does industrial automation, this is a PLC or a controller. Nothing from them is free. And you can't download the software unless you have paid for a product that requires said software.

What is the output of pkg update -f ?

Ask around, rustdesk is well known and it's really unlikely that noone hasn't noticed anything similar so far...

which is why using a cellphone for ANYTHING other than making social calls is extremely stupid! When folks got lazy and allowed cellphone carriers to provide a "you don get admin access to you device" model the writing was on the wall.

Do you have graphics/gpu-firmware-intel-kmod installed?

https://arstechnica.com/google/2025/09/in-court-filing-google-concedes-the-open-web-is-in-rapid-decline/ I consider classic forums like this one a part of the open internet. It is indexable by search engines, visible to everybody without login...

Library/package installation (pip for Python, crates for Rust ...) and package deployment systems (npm, docker ...) are orthogonal to the question of procedural, object-oriented, functional, ... coding style. Except that certain languages are...

I don't know coding or OOP, but don't like the complexity I've seen with Node packaging and npm stuff. If OOP means or encourages packaging like that then nah :p That's why I like Java :D An old version of Runescape with JOGL built on Java 17-24...

Javascript is prototype based, not class based. That are two approaches of OOP. In the first you clone (and modify) objects, in the second you define classes.

This was all Apocalypse Now AFAICT. They even shouted out Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Great book.

I'll just drop this here... View: https://youtu.be/sCfAk7E1E4g?si=MZmk4i_KYmVwLDS2 Have fun.

Oh I remember them, no worries. And my kids are indeed out tonight. But - do you have anything better? Then, please show.

This would also benefit Linux LLVM users (and macOS if ever we can get the macOS port back to being tier 1). It's more likely just to hang. And easy is all relative. Again this would also benefit Linux (and eventually macOS).

That's great! Now please read again #16 carefully and try it again step by step, making sure that you type everything correctly. And please, don't add full stop ( . ) to the end of termbin links.

There is. But that is not the line the powers that be draw. Comparing the media around the world and what government messes in the news - some counties have some explaining to do. Fake news, anyone?

Ok once again attack this The above links to other posts are still good My error in the log is my cron log for the same period (since it happen ever 5 mins thinking cron) I hve no running actions with the pids given newaliases...

What was your output of pkg query -e '%a = 0' '%n'? I said: If this worked, you probably mistyped something in the steps after that I recommended, but if you didn't see list of pkgs after this command, all commands after that are pointless and...

It is possible that they aren't related so my evidence may be poor. But there is something about the port 25 probing from that specific IP that isn't normal. The connection attempt at the mail server level doesn't actually try to send any mail...

It was not. The great advantage of Unix in today's world is that it happened to be there at the right time, when PCs became affordable. Although there were operating systems "early enough" with V10 UNIX and – later – Plan 9, which took something...

First: don't use generic labels with GPT partitions. It is not necessary and only complicates the setup. Instead, use GPT labels with gpart: # gpart modify -i2 -l ezfreebsdfs ada0 # gpart modify -i3 -l ezswap ada0 These labels will appear...

There's a difference between advocates of murder, terror and mayhem running a platform and everybody else. I thought my point was clear.

That is how MTP works - after 1st attach phone/USB device is visible but you can not mount anything - this is the time you are asked on the phone screen if you want to share the files - then You agree and this '1st' device disappears and new...

Done by massive commit 6e2da9672f79f44048d597f0f61e4646cdeade9d at Nov.06, 2024. But yes, I cannot find related heads-up at least on freebsd-ports ML.

Sorry, I don't trust many of the "small groups" with such devices. In a normal state, the power of the state is in the hand of many, and it can be diverted and vetoed by even more inside. Power needs to be controlled, and the control needs to...

I have enjoyed David Burne's work for a long time. His film "True Stories" was ahead of its time. https://medium.com/counterarts/david-byrnes-true-stories-as-a-search-for-autistic-connection-43629c62cd07 View...

RHEL10 and clones are very easy to install in vm-bhyve. I have a page https://srobb.net/vm-bhyve.html. But with RH, both 9 and 10, I was able to use the boot iso, then run vm install RH <path to iso> and it was simple. Some of the later 9.x...

Thanks everyone. Funnily enough, I have been programming in DOSBox with fasm for some time. But even with extenders, DOS programming follows an 8086 programming model. I would like to practice 32/64 bit assembly programming and make a positive...
