Ha oldfashioned logo. Not watered down orbs. Was the best on T-Shirts. Had folk get upset at mine, I'd simply say "Not demon in the Biblical sense, daemon in the Greek sense of helper". Wound up with discussions and "Oh, I never realized...."...

Yes I realize my examples are a bit over the top but they are realistic. The basic premise is someone has thought a step ahead of you. Faces and fingers? I think there are actual examples of that. Your spouse thinks you're cheating, then...

What I loved most about "Bayerische Motoren Werke" design was their slanted dashboard, it was quite unique and iconic, pity they abandoned it at the beginning of this century.

Sorry, but I actually do drive a BMW myself.

MrBSD, I can't argue about IT security with you since I'm just a hobbyist user, but looks like you never hung out with actual hard-core criminals, just based on your assessment what's possible/probable. You have no idea how (and what about) those...

Oh who cares

I guess it shouldn't be too hard to mod port, KDE 6.4.5 works okay with XLibre on Gentoo (OpenRC), OpenMandriva and Fedora (only 3 that I'm personally testing in VM just for that combo)

I guess plasma will be difficult since it pulls in xorg afaik. So it may require adjusting the port to remove the dependency and then manual compilation.

Both "Day-tuh" and "Du-tuh" are actually correct and perfectly understandable, like English pronunciation of "tomato". From time to time you do run into people who get snobby with their limited view of what's 'correct' pronunciation. Spoken...

Bayerische Motoren Werke 🤣

Yep been there. Government/classified systems typically disable USB stuff. Yubi keys, good stuff, but again, need to have chain of custody. If someone manages to abscond with your Yubi key that is tied to everything else, does that give them...

Not everybody uses them, even among the big guys. I'd know, at one of my $JOBs they were actually prohibited.

My guess: tint was mater of artist choice, or it got screwed with converting from one ICC to another. When working on bitmaps, you always want to use some (very little) of Gaussian Blur first, just to blend hard pixel edges with background, and...

What bothers me is what is the right pronunciation of data: IPA [ˈdæɾ.ə] or IPA [ˈdeɪ.ɾə]? I'm hearing both from well educated people? I was thought that only first is correct and that second is always wrong...

Singular form of "data" is "datum"... 🤪 Well, "datum" can also mean "Geodetic datum" as in "unambiguous geographic point of reference", and the city of Chicago lays claim to "Number One City Datum" 😂

About this "Survey Beastie": Decopy AI says 0% probability that is AI, wasitAI is "quite confident that NO AI was used when producing this image", only sightengine is "Uncertain if AI-generated or not" at 39% probability that is AI (GPT-4o...

on emulators/wine-devel, you can use the audio panel in winecfg (running wine winecfg) since it now correctly show which audio driver are available and used.

Thanks for correction, I wasn't sure, so I checked and one of the first search results was: "Produces | meaning of Produces" video by The Definition Channel I'll post video because now I see that they are a joke as well:

I'm sorry to be obnoxious, and I suspect you are not a native English speaker, but I have to correct you: The plural of "product" (a thing that is made) is "products". With s a the end. The plural of "produce" (a thing that is grown, like carrots...

I agree, IMHO Alan Ford is one of the bests comics ever! When we are talking about translations, Croatian translation of Alan Ford was brilliant, witty and funny, but later (post '90s) Serbian translations/re-editions were simply awful (no...

Ok alsa-lib without alsa kernel module won't present any "soundcards" but it can implement virtual devices eg "PCM" in their nomenclature. alsa-lib on FreeBSD is built with oss PCM module. It is what that synth UI shows too. To play music on...

I have a Ryzen 5 4600G and drm-61-kmod worked fine on it.

In the future that can be avoided by staying closer to the facts in the first place.

Well, you still have that awful thread title up blaming the Foundation (who have nothing to do with Rust decisions) for Rust in 15.x. The 15 is in your thread title.

Is the AI fakery before or after the Foundation forced Rust into 15.x base?

The German translation is funny enough to place the series at the top. I can't directly compare to the French edition due to lack of language skills.

... are here: https://freebsdfoundation.org/insights-from-the-2025-freebsd-community-survey/ Don't see them highlighted at the foundation web site, nor discussed here in the forum. People should read them; it's about 30 or 50 pages, and quite...

Dennis the Menace (US one, not UK Dennis the Menace and Gnasher) Originally by Hank Ketcham (later by: Marcus Hamilton, Ron Ferdinand, Scott Ketcham)

Calvin and Hobbes, of course. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes

The 6% desktop usage result on page 22 luckily should help to dampen the "break FreeBSD" crowd.

Unfortunately, IDK French, but Asterix & Obelix in Serbo-Croatian translation was hilarious, IMHO much better than English one. For example, Getafix (Panoramix) was in our translation named Aspirinix 🤣 Other names were similarly good, but it will...

Naturally. Of course. But only in the original language (french), and until #24 "Astérix chez les Belges", which was the last book Goscinny has written. ...but if we start to name the classics, then we also have to name André Franquin, Gilbert...

P.S. Edit: Corrected thanks to ralphbsz; please see post bellow (#1,334)

There's a few Drake meme generators online that you can use for this.

Thanks all for suggestions, while I understand this is not the recommended way of using storage, I was curious to understand what is the syntax to achieve such configuration.

Wouldn't that joke be better if written as "I like Apple products :(" <-> "I like apple produces :)"?

The apples from my yard are nice and punchy - but no, I'm not a fan of iPhone... 😈

Zagor Te-Nay (The Spirit with the Hatchet) by Sergio Bonelli & Gallieno Ferri. Originally in Italian, it was mega popular all-over ex-Yugoslavia, since 2015 available in US in English by Epicenter Comics.

Too risky. Suppose one of the disks in mirror-0 (1 to 4) dies, then you've lost the entire half of the mirror. Any disk failing on the 'other' side (5 through 8) would destroy the entire pool. I get what you want to do, but the way you presented...

Given 8 identical geoms, how can I create a mirror of two 4-disks stripes? The following creates four mirrors of two disks: % doas zpool create tank mirror gpt/disco1 gpt/disco2 mirror gpt/disco3 gpt/disco4 mirror gpt/disco5 gpt /disco6...

Asterix & Obelix.

GPT has been the default for quite some time now. And the fact you have partitions with p1, p2, etc. is an indication this is GPT. MBR uses slices and partitions; ada0s1a for example. Board supports UEFI boot.

https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/x_org_on_netbsd_the but it's down right now. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40269680 is about that article, but it's a long discussion with a lot of it noise. If this information is there, it's difficult...

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

I tried sudo once, when I was in college and learning on Debian. And while that was the standard thing for the class, I discovered that I don't like it. It's freakin' twice the complexity of su! Security and convenience are two sides of the...

Code. Changes. Code review. Merges. Fun stuff. Some people look at code review and merging as "I have the power to say no, just because word is misspelled". Others look at the technical aspect of the change: Is it correct, does it fix the...
