There are a couple of different ways to handle the text. 1. There are two tools that convert text to postscript file; print/enscript which is used in a filter in the FreeBSD handbook. print/a2ps is more of a swiss-army knife that will convert a...

Yep, but Forth is still there if you want it.

Even FICL entry was removed from loader in 13.2, and environment variables are moved to loader_simp, but also not a word about FICL there. Yes, I know that there is lang/ficl pkg... Not that I'm a Forth expert, far from it, but I'm sorta...

Situation is current wine-devel from packages doesn't have sound working at all. The wine-devel from ports is ahead, and doesn't work with 32-bit wine provided via its pkg32.sh. wine-proton, at least in case of this game (Kings Bounty Dark...

To be honest, after some thinking and testing, you might be right about separate filter/queue, and maybe UJuwMLAx does need :if=/usr/local/libexec/lf2crlf:\ if lpr sometext.txt output is stair-stepped, and if 6515 is printing only first line of...

How true. Everything is polarized. Everything is political. I want to use and hack FreeBSD without politics but politics always seems to enter it. My wife and I have a community garden plot. All we want to do is plant and grow vegetables...

tcl is relevant to me. i don't care if others use it or not. and I forgot to mention awk.

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++

Same.

Yes. For (shell) scripting there's really only one; /bin/sh

Really, I didn't know. I set up a 4.3-RELEASE box a week or so ago, with xorg and windowmaker, and it seems to have perl on it. I probably didn't check the base before installing xorg etc though, I'm so used to perl being there by default, so...

Who needs Rust when there is Lisp?

You guys are investing way too much time into this drama.

To be clear, I listed them as options and enscript can be substituted for the stair stepping code as it converts an inputted *.txt to *.ps. Upside of enscript is a better looking print job with a downside of more processing time - likely less...

CShell wine-proton sound works for game I wish to play. Many thanks :)

The usage of ALSA does seem to be a package build conf issue, and can't be avoided by ports on user side, due to pkg32.sh bringing in ALSA built wine again. (pure ALSA bridge would need to have a kernel counterpart providing devfs nodes. I never...

I got this exact same wine error as well recently... and I never did find a correction for it. My work around was to uninstall wine-10.0_1,1 and then install wine-proton-9.0.3 instead of the generic wine package. I understand that might not be...

This is unclear to me, too. It might be time to email the maintainer and ask them to add a quick description of how sound is supposed to work for FreeBSD Wine to files/pkg-message.

It is. Research has shown that changing passwords too often can lead to weaker password habits, as users may resort to simpler or more predictable choices just to remember them.

Maybe this helps: https://dnschecker.org/ipv6-whois-lookup.php

Hey vermaden I remember seeing your post somewhere, some time ago, where you solved quite similar problem, but for the life of me I can't remember where...

Check the email headers, it probably did not come from the forums and don't click the link. This is why I keep saying "email should be just text"

There is no need for separate txt filter/queue, 6515 can handle txt, ps and pdf just fine. Reason that UJuwMLAx had problem, is that he piped it to nc instead of redirecting to it, please see #6 and my quote there from another thread. P.S...

Sorry, I didn't do legacy BIOS in a long, long time, so can't help much there. Just to make it easier for others to answer, what is partitioning scheme, MBR or GPT; and which FS you have UFS of ZFS?

Hello. py311-awscli utility is broken. How to fix? My system FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE-p3 amd64 # pkg version -v | egrep 'awscli|botocore' py311-awscli-1.29.81_2 = up-to-date with index py311-botocore-1.40.21 = up-to-date...

Well, I received no responses. I moved from KDE to XFCE and I just needed a GUI for the applications.

Yeah such things can get elaborate. I guess if there is a will there is a way, and that could start happening for any contemporary devices if FreeBSD audio starts gaining users on grounds of its merit. Also having any kind of Linux code for said...

Check that your first partition is EFI, must be fromated as FAT32, GUID C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B, and you need to have there: /EFI/Boot/ /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi bootx64.efi is the same file as loader.efi, just renamed when copied there.

Yes, I had the same thought. I have a full USB trace of WIndows XP initializing the MixPre 1 (they never even released software for 64 bit Windows). But it had too much hair for a quick hack to make it work. For starters it seemed to have a...

I would say specific issue would be lack of libusb since it looks like it could've ran on jailbroken devices at least 5 years ago judging by posts. So yeah the general issue is Apple doesn't allow drivers, kernel or userland of this type which...

Yes. The specific issue is that Apple doesn't allow you to load drivers on iOS/iPadOS/TvOS. That is the case. But you can't rule out that there are devices which were made to work on iOS by try-n-error and aren't quite clicking with FreeBSD...

Not an Apple developer so this might be stupid question, but iPad apps cannot generically access USB, only through class-compliant abstraction? This could be used as a good marketing gizmo for FreeBSD audio peripherals. "If it works on iPad, it...

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...

My existing stack of USB cables and adapters makes an army division's logistic center seem small :)

Netgate is sponsoring an effort to bring pf in FreeBSD to be on par functionality wise with the version in OpenBSD. As we all know, FreeBSD's version is way behind the features and functionality in OpenBSD since quite a long a time. Most updates...

"ALTernate Queuing" basically ways of doing QoS on the packets, so some get out quicker. There is an example I think by Daniel Hartimeir (I may have mucked the name) where he had an asymmetric link (more BW down, less up) and he did something...

What's ALTQ for?

I would say that using Whatsapp as an additional encryption layer over the cell network is probably not the worst thing a random UN diplomat can do. Most definitely better than SMS.
