There's a Perl script on the internet to see the exact memory usage on FreeBSD, I have ported it to sh and updated it a little (added ZFS ARC/cache/buffers/laundry to the math) Not sure if it's 100% accurate, in fact it uses the same logic as...

You could try the option in the BIOS that presents a USB keyboard as a PS/2 keyboard, often indicated as "USB legacy" or something to that extend. This is typically an option for legacy operating systems that have no USB support.

Try having a running joke for the duration of a 76-episode story from 1980s taking place in Germany! Plenty of counter-examples in animes if you actually watch them. Even old-school stuff features that. Not completely sideways, but definitely...

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 have tried out many configurations, the winner was kind of weird. Had to create a main device, and 1-1 for the speakers and bt devices... then I "route" them "on-the-fly" with a shell script (from dwmblocks :D ) Also have to mention btavctpd...

Wine seems to have dropped jack support? (So my question to Alexander is void...) Pity.

It's funny how we must turn sideways to smile in typed text :) but Japanese folks who bow as form of respect, will not do that when smiling ^^

The gist of my problem is that wine does not present an MME audio mapper, but wine-proton does. I will disregard wine-devel for now because I can't get it to run all the test applications, and unfortunately the same for my EL9 work laptop -...

You guys oughta be sent to the punitentiary. :) (For non-native speakers that's a pun on penitentiary). Some consider puns the lowest form of humor, but they make me laugh. Though I do remember making a pun in Japanese years ago, that I...

Yes, I know.

Trouble with explaining how passwords and security systems even work - is that rank-and-file users have a tendency to latch onto one single detail, and conclude that the whole system revolves around it. That does lead some erroneous conclusions...

No. I'm saying protecting your passwords with a password does not increase the strength of those passwords. Using a pw manager means you neither have to remember, nor type them yourself, so you can use ludicrous long, so very strong passwords...

There must be some sort of permissions set for users to mount file systems, otherwise, mounting (unmounting) a file system by a non-privileged user would be denied: john:~ $ zfs list -o name,mountpoint,mounted,keystatus zroot/enc NAME...

While this provides the situation as I wanted it to be, it turned out the situation I described was wrong. The above creates two mirrors, with 4 disks mirroring each other, while I want a mirror made by two 4 disks stripes. Another layer is...

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

For japanese characters, emojis etc.. I install the meta package x11-fonts/noto maybe it could help you aswell?

After installing CJKUnifonts, my firefox automatically shows Chinese fonts. Yay ! and it is pretty font, like calligraphy.

chinese/CJKUnifonts [1], package name zh-CJKUnifonts. No www/firefox configuration needed to display Chinese characters. [1] Alternatively choose another chinese font: https://www.freshports.org/chinese https://www.freshports.org/x11-fonts

The list of fonts in <Preferences...Fonts for Chinese> does not show any Chinese font. So, I guess I have to install it. Can anyone point me in the direction to installing Chinese fonts ? And where to find Chinese fonts for firefox. Btw, my...

Firefox allows you to change fonts depending on the script desired. If Firefox is not using the correct fonts, you may want to configure which fonts are used for Simplified Chinese and/or Traditional Chinese: Preferences > Fonts and Colors >...

Hi, I was using VIMB browser, which shows Chinese fonts good. But VIMB has problems crashing when using youtube, so I switched to Firefox. Firefox doesn't show Chinese fonts. In Firefox's preference, I don't see Chinese fonts. So, why...

Thanks to all, who read my post and invested time and thinking for it. I apologize for wasting your time. Both problems stemmed from a common source. The owner of the share /zroot/smbshare/ turned out to be a user I deleted after creating the...

I would like to see benchmarks for those HA distributed filesystems.

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.

Well, as long there is a mutual consent among you and your matches, I'm not the one to judge, on the contrary – you are giving me some ideas 😈

I also have a box of matcha:

I'm a passionate advocate for using ternary logic, that way we can avoid failing into paradoxes traps. 無 / む (in the Zen sense) FTW! BTW, even Patriarch Knuth advocated for it in the Bible: "The Art of Computer Programming", vol2. Soviets were...

I wonder now how do you match with any of them if you keep all your matches in one box? Aren't you worried that they'll gossip among themselves about you? 😜

BTW, we do have similar words in Serbian, so called 'pluralia tantum', like for door/doors -in Serbian single word 'vrata' for both singular and plural; back (as the posterior (rear) section of the body) - Serbian "leđa", again, for both singular...

I still have a box of unspent matches in my kitchen, BTW 😂

Winecfg show alsa for me. But I can't change any of the options.

That isn't the case for me : wine-devel-10.10,1 Microsoft Windows compatibility environment wine-gecko-devel-2.47.4 Gecko Layout Engine for Wine development branch (HTML support) wine-mono-devel-10.1.0 Mono .NET...

Cute af 👍

There was a very charming FreeBSD sys admin who used to be at conferences in a very good looking daemonette costume. Not going to post her name, privacy matters. Photos of her can be found online, search for "FreeBSD daemonette". Never talked to...

I had even funnier experience, one that didn't even involve pronunciation, nor another person, just stupid me, barely understanding English at that point – very early '90s, pre www. I stumbled upon matchmaking BBS connected to internet, and I...

... 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...

I remember at a Thanksgiving dinner, my niece brought a friend. He asked what I do and I said, I work at a data center. He though I said dating center, and the conversation went on a few minutes, making perfect sense to both of us, until...

Sorry, that does not survive dictionary attacks.

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?

Unfortunately, I'm not trolling. I met people who will not drop a drop of sweat to do (to you unimaginable) things just to for a score 🤷‍♂️ We can. They will not.

Ah, perfect opportunity to remind y'all about Linda Branagan and her FreeBSD Daemon 🤣
