If you like it, power to you, I'm sure it has it's use somewhere But me... I can't stand it! I'm so tired of being cockblocked on linux because I don't want to type my password a million times, and after each linux install I have to manually tell...

Just 15 years ago, Linux didn't have anything like this. And if it did, it was somewhere deep and fragmented. For me, Linux has completely exhausted itself as an adequate system. I no longer have time to read Linux news deeply and thoughtfully...

.... | awk '{print $4}' |xargs kill -9 kill dash nine, kill dash nine

Between /bin/sh and perl, there is awk. It is actually quite a bit more effective than most people think. Some example functions. My general language scale tends to be: /bin/sh -> Awk -> C/C++

Coming from Linux, I used to use bash. But since I've been using BSD (FreeBSD and OpenBSD) more often for a while now and I don't want to have to install bash on every system, I preferred to adapt my scripts. Your answers confirm the usefulness...

Jobs really had the whole thing already developed and a proof-of-concept machine already launched with NeXT when Apple brought him back in, so he had a real story to tell and a code base already in place. The man knew what he wanted. NeXT was...

A sh script will run on any (Unix-like) platform. PS: /bin/sh

With apologies, Void Linux is a serious distribution, far from broken, far from unfinished. Not a very popular one, but I would rather use Void than anything systemd. Probably the closest to FreeBSD, if we ignore Slackware. My two cents, I might...

No, you're not. Just let your skills go wild for a good cause. AI might be your friend, to some degree.

Forgot entirely about dhclient.conf. It's been a day. Thanks for pointing that out! Brain is full zombie atm EDIT: Unfortunatley that doesn't seem to do it for me. Will need to go the VM route until I figure this out properly

BeOS is not a Unix-like system. I think that was one of the goals.

Whoewer decision this was, this is definitely what shaped Apple to become the giant behemoth that is today, for better or for worse. One of the most important decision in the IT world in the past fifthy years of so for sure.

I’ll sound like beating my own drum again, but IMHO one of crucial factors for OS X success was combining ColorSync with Next’s Display PostScript, which they morphed into Quartz 2D which was PDF based, so no more fees to Adobe and happy...

Hi bakul - don't sigh :). rm -vxw ocd-data/ would sit and sit and sit and never print a thing: I don't know if the problem was because of trying to buffer the list, or some other reason. rm... never showed excessive RAM usage in top/htop, but...

Noooo Don't give in. For all we know the delete would work if you execute it on a server with -say- 256 GB RAM. If you don't have a spare computer with that much RAM, there is an easy way to do it. Rent a AWS EC2 machine with 256 GB, export the...

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. They absolutely needed Jobs to come back when he did, they were teetering on the brink of oblivion, with no vision and a muddled product line. And basing MacOS X on a robust, mature UNIX-like OS was definitely a better...

AFAIK _theoretical_ limit is 2^24, but for single process that uses the default C run-time libs limit is 512. Just checked net config server on Win10 Pro and Maximum open files per session 16384, but that’s for net connections

They will probably be long gone now, considering that Jobs practically resurrected Apple from the edge of bankruptcy, even as his first official role when he got back was only consultant (he was back to be a CEO only three years later), but in...

You can run lsof to see how many files are actually open to gain an understanding. Output to a file.

You would think many Microsoft projects have more files than FreeBSD. But maybe Windows does indeed have a dynamic maxfiles.

How did they expect this to ever work?

usr-is-merged is their script to move all /bin/ contents to /usr/bin/. It is a script run during dist-upgrade. It is a fragile piece of shit that among other things doesn't work on NFS. I recommend doing a regular Debian install and then copying...

Just checked my sysctl.conf, and kern.maxfiles="200000", but TBH I can’t remember when nor why I changed it. Last edit was in Nov ’23, but that’s telling me nothing. Man, MS(G35) is such a bitch 🤬

When I tried editors/vscode several years ago, and tried to open /usr/src, vscode want to scan everything (and keep opened at least until it finishes) under there, and kern.maxfiles="25000" was insufficient. I needed to bump it to...

see tuning(7): The kern.maxfiles sysctl determines how many open files the system supports. The default is typically a few thousand but you may need to bump this up to ten or twenty thousand if you are running databases or...

You are still using /boot/loader.conf instead of /etc/rc.conf for loading .ko’s, and you are doing it wrong, it’s never =YES" but should be ="YES" Also, your /comapt/ubuntu/ looks strange, IDK what debootsratp/ is doing there and you don’t have...

Well, this is my actual situation brave-browser related with... When I run brave-browser I get the error you'll see in the matching image. /boot/loader.conf and /etc/rc.conf were modified by suggested installing method.

Try: /boot/loader.conf ums_load="YES"

There are two officially documented forms for use in the X config file: In 'symbolic letters' (note the different order of 'domain' in the sequence): vgapci1@pciW:X:Y:Z:, must be converted to BusID "PCI:X@W:Y:Z" (long form) or BusID...

How about this one?: What if Apple had chosen BeOS instead of NeXTSTEP as the base successor to the classic MacOS?🍿

okay, here:

Update 2: Spent a month trying to see if the graphics stack works on that laptop. That month was spent first on trying to install packages (and failing to start Xorg), and then compiling ports from ground zero. When compiling ports, I turned off...

Population, yes. Land area, no. Those eruptions do add land area. One year, I visited the Isaac Hale black sand beach in Puna area. Came back next year. The beach was sticking out into the ocean a good 20-30 meters further than before, and there...

But it does make one (at least me) wonder "What next"? Is it possible the changes could affect other filesystems (even ones not yet created)? Are the basic filesystem needs public (what used to be known as VFS layer I think)? I think (vague...

Even if it's not directly related to Sun's history, I really enjoy reading your posts. I have to say this forum is a genuine computer enthusiast place 👍
