SirDice Thank you. I was under the impression I had tried this. Obviously not. Works now. Sorry, stupid mistake.

Yep, so this thread can probably be closed as "solved" (since I don't know of any open issues with RHEL and CBSD based distros at this point). jazzi as for FNOS issue, try to recreate the symbolic link yourself (or delete the zvol and create the...

Oh, sorry. My mistake. A copy and paste error: root@www:~ # pkg root@www:~ # pkg-static root@www:~ # I just get back to the prompt without delay, output or error.

Hi, I am having a rather peculiar problem here. A virtual machine (bhyve) seems to have crashed during the second stage of the upgrade from 14.2 to 14.3. for unknown reasons (after the reboot). I started it again, the machine is running and...

The main issue is the fact that majority of people have sacrificed their privacy for convenience. I have no issue with iot stuff. I use tons of it. However, none of my devices have access to internet. They are isolated on their own local vlan...

Can you post the client config? Mark out anything important like passwords or actual server/client IP addresses. I have both client and server with user openvpn etc. And have zero problems. So I'm wondering what's different. (Moved it to "Web...

I like this comparison of the BSDs: https://unixdigest.com/articles/the-main-differences-between-openbsd-freebsd-netbsd-and-dragonflybsd.html 😆

2.5 Gbit will work fine on Cat 5e up to around 100 meters; most home networks won't have cables that long. You can even do 10 GBit up to about 50 meters with Cat 5e.

Correct. This is also true for freebsd-update fetch (for patch updates). Files are modified only on the freebsd-update install stage. Yes, you can prepare everything in advance before actually committing to the upgrade.

You're right. I don't remember if I was looking at when 1.0 was released in 1994, or if I just messed up. NetBSD's first version 0.8, but the first release is what matters, as it's subjective to anyone, including those who released it, what makes...

It looks like freebsd-update will remain. https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-stable/2025-September/003182.html At present we anticipate that it will be possible to use freebsd-update(8) to upgrade to 15.0-ALPHA3.

NetBSD was started 1993/04 and FreeBSD later on 1993/11. Besides that - thanks for gathering all this stuff in one place.

It seems I've forgotten about an implementation of NetBSD with the Minix3 kernel: netbsd-based-system-using-minix3-microkernel-announced-by-andy-tanenbaum.62501. It was a temporary version made by Vrije Universiteit (in Amsterdam). This...

Great! Now just doas pkg upgrade -f P.S. Hm, how that doas is working when you said that you deleted all in /usr/local ?

You can build and test newest modules from git, and not wait for ports/packages.

Is this behavior observed with any VM or FNOS only? In fact, it is a symlink to zvol (if you use zfs), so ZFS must be mounted ( `zfs list |grep fnos` ). Or it can be a regular file (UFS, NFS, GlusterFS, S3/fusefs), you can recreate it: rm -f...

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.

Needed to install a new system, downloaded ports and installed git-2.48.1, vulnerable version. After updating ports, I try to update git, and what it offers me: To close one vulnerability in git, you need to install another libxslt. Vicious circle!

Linus Torvalds joins the debate: View: https://youtu.be/PaKIZ7gJlRU So many on here would agree with him. I agree with a few points he makes, and why he chooses not to use GPL3. I partially agree with his views on GPL2, but I believe, that's not...

I would not trust Linux lsblk(8) either - that is why I wrote my own lsblk(8) version from scratch for FreeBSD - https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2019/09/27/list-block-devices-on-freebsd-lsblk8-style/ - details here. Also - Linux lsblk(8) is...

I always encourage people to learn some Assembler, because it teaches you a lot about machines, gives you a lot of understanding, and can be useful for some certain debugging issues. But if you're not going to program 8 or 16bit microcontrollers...

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.
