Hi all. I created an account in order to participate in this topic. A couple of days ago I installed FreeBSD 15 alpha 4 and I wanted to test various things, including Wayland-KDE. I stumbled upon problems that are reflected in this topic, but I...

Hey, hello my dear darth (for one who don't recognize him, darth runs one my fav YT channels and one the few Linux related that I follow and watch regularly @LinuxRenaissance). Welcome to the family! I don't know much about Wayland, but few...

I've never had any problems updating the system to major versions. My previous server was installed with version 9.x and I kept it up to version 13.x. On the even older server, I started with version 6.x, but I reinstalled the system after each...

I want to mention another dog I held for awhile. He was a pit bull, I once worked him with a hidden sleeve, his fang went between the laces, and I still have a trace of the scars. At any rate, at some point, I took him home. He was an incredibly...

This is a valid reason to avoid buying an animal, but not to avoid adopting one. Kennels are full of dogs: we can avoid leaving them their whole life in a cage and give them a house. We both win. Pet food is made with meat non-consumable by...

What if 1 clone snapshot 2 some deletions 3 promote cloned dataset 4 destroy snapshot and old dataset ?

Ignorance is bliss for me here...

FreeBSD is developed as a "base OS". Admins additionally install anything he/she needs via pkg (package management system on FreeBSD and actual packages for it) or building via ports to customize from default. X11, Wayland, desktop envirinments...

...and in Germany it pales compared to Greece, like any food from other countries.

T-Aoki, yes I remember that, and I am also pretty sure some sort of X was included, probably twm.

I'm a Schnauzer person – had one Giant Schnauzer (black, named Koya) and one Standard Schnauzer (salt & pepper, named Bill). Bill is next to me in my Avatar pic. Also had one cat - Katya (adopted, black). Unfortunately, because of my health...

Like most hings people seem to care about, I don't pay attention to such signs on the door or what method they use to take my card. All I care about is the food, its presentation and the ambience. How they charge my card means nothing to me and I...

Unless you have some other test case in mind, I would zfs-rollback the dataset from the snapshot, destroy the snapshot, deleting files from the dataset, freeing space.

Agreed, also I quit reading the xlibre rant by sidetone after I saw only expletive and opinion in the first few paragraphs and no facts. And of course, no sources.

This an experimental virtual machine with 1GB of ram, and eight 1GB disks arranged in raidz3 pool. I'm interested in practicing on how to solve this kind of issue, that clearly could involve moving to another storage the data I want to keep...

I would check x11/lightdm

Good point, except that I don't have it enabled right now!

Vienna is cool but the Greek food there pales compared to Germany's.

I'm looking for sound system improvements that will hopefully roll out in 15.

Ofc correct, but with a historical caveat; XFree86 used to be part of FreeBSD aeons ago when both ports and packages were in their infancy. X was installed from installer just like any other system component such as compat libs. I do not...

I used to train dogs as a hobby/semi-profession. (From the 80's, me with a beard--there's reinforcement in the leg, he's not biting my groin) https://srobb.net/dog.jpg. A crate is essential if you have a puppy, as they will learn it's their safe...

I guess you don't know how freebsd works. The answer is "neither". Or "both".

15 brings in a modern Kerberos among other improvements. Too many people feel updating or applying patches break things. This is probably due to their experience with Microsoft Windows, which breaks pretty much every Patch Tuesday. Other...

I'm still relatively new to freebsd, so moving from 14.x to 15 will be my first major upgrade. I have a test system on which I will try the update before getting started with my main laptop. Anyways, I'm not worried at all because of ZFS, BEs...

Well, OP didn't tell us anything about your computer. How much RAM do you have, OP? Generally speaking dedup RAM requirements are not nearly as bad as they are said to be. Just be sure to configure some swapspace so that you don't have too many...

You can test suspend/resume with a USB stick with 15.x.

You will need to ask this on a Windows forum. We don't do Windows here. (For that matter, we don't do pfSense either, refer to the forum rules).

That would work with dedup on.

The US is also the last Western country where restaurants physically carry your credit card away from you. Even in Canada they use mobile CC readers that they bring to th table.

I've a dataset with an attached snapshot. I deleted contents from the dataset, clearly not reducing disk space usage due to the snapshot. Now I would like to move some things out of the snapshot to the original dataset (not the whole snapshot)...

www/ungoogled-chromium has the same issue, at least for stable-15 amd64. It did fail to build a couple of weeks ago and it did fail again the other day. =>> Killing timed out build after 7200 seconds It's a timeout when extracting distfiles too.

To make that a little clearer, FreeBSD's install is just a base system. GUI's are 3rd party stuff, so, after installation, you can choose to install either X or Wayland, using ports or packages. If you get more into FreeBSD, this will make a lot...

It's Steve Buscemi.

Damn, sorry :) It's Reservoir Dogs (1992) by Quentin Tarantino.

rootbert I'll be visiting in May. You should buy me dinner. 😁

I had two Shih-tzus--brother and sister. Sadie was the perfect dog. Jake was my little buddy. When I took them for a walk in the park, Sadie would sit in the middle of the sidewalk and wait for people to come by to pay attention to her. Jake just...

It's not weird. The credit card machine is part of a cash register of sorts or a standalone machine. Bringing a handheld device to the table is a relatively new thing. If a restaurant wants to do that, they have to spend money to get one and most...

I adopted my cats, got them from the shelter. If I decide to get a dog that would the first place to look for one. There are certainly dog breeds that would kind of fit my lifestyle. But a dog still needs at least 2, preferably 3, times a day...

Pedantic note on buying pets: why not adopting them? There are animals of all sizes, character and ages in shelters waiting for adoption; pet shops and breeders, like every commercial activity, must get rid of unsellable products; in other words...

It's not daily, thankfully, but it is something to take into account when thinking about getting a dog. You have to take care of the animal for the next 10-15 years. I'm just not able to provide the proper care for the dog. Cats are much easier...

Would love to get a dog, but I'm regularly away from home for 12 hours (commuting plus 8-9 hour work days). The dog would be alone at home. Not good for the dog.

They keep bringing it up here to advertise for it. They've done it multiple times.

Five months ago, I got a dachshund puppy—hands down the best investment I've ever made! 🐶 Up until recently, he slept indoors with us, but now he's transitioned to his own cozy doghouse outside. I’ve set up a simple heating system using...

This way there is no pipe, it is more direct and on stdout. For me it's better, I can ask variables in one make call: % make -C /usr/ports/misc/mc -V COMMENT -V DESCR -V PKGBASE -V PKGVERSION -V '${defined(FORBIDDEN):?1:0}' -V...

you can also do this directly with make -V: % make -C /usr/ports/misc/mc -V'${defined(FORBIDDEN):?1:0}' 0 % make -C /usr/ports/misc/mc -V'${defined(COMMENT):?1:0}' 1

Most likely your hard did not support TCP Segmentation Offload in 13.x.
