If you want to track stable/15, it should be "GO AHEAD". But if you want 15.0-Release afterwards, it should be "wait for annoucement for BETA1 and switch to it". Now BETA1 should be on build / preparation for distributing. As I'm on source...

See handbook 4.5. Using the Ports Collection , note the "Warning" yes | make config-recursive See handbook 4.5.4. Upgrading Ports, 4.5.4.1. Tools to Upgrade and Manage Ports, and see the manuals of those tools regarding options.

/etc/dhclient-enter-hooks and /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks are not directories in which scripts can be stored, these are the scripts for defining $reason. dhclient-script OPERATION ... Before taking action according to $reason...

Now on my system I have three repositories enabled: FreeBSD-ports (included in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf) that tracks "latest"; FreeBSD-ports-kmods (also included in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf that tracks "kmods_latest"; FreeBSD-base (included in...

Some of negative feedbacks come from lack / unupdate of knowledges / understandings. A latest example I've replied is 290143. But should not be limited with this. The root fact there would be simple, source codes of loaders (now) don't exist...

Sorry to hear that... sometimes uninformed users do stir up shit just because they like to talk. Bashing something used to be 'cool', but persistent bashing by the uninformed masses who don't contribtute otherwise - that, IMHO, is going too far...

I was reading this while watching TV and eating a sandwich, and even so, it was a complete waste of my time. (cracauer's and cy's as well.) There is a reason why I do not often visit the forums, and this thread is an excellent example. Sigh.

When the only thing the _volunteers_ get is negative feedback, it is completely demotivating. For paid employees, it's different. I agree that regressions are bad and I spend some of my own free time trying to highlight them in Bugzilla. But I...

(with respect to forth) It had gotten to the point where very few developers wanted to work with forth. There was indeed discussion about including lua in the base system, but the compromise was to restrict that minimal version lua to base...

So we have 6 pages of fear and loathing by now and the only real thing that is reflected in code that was brought up is pkgbase.

At least nvi CANNOT be pulled out, as it is installed as vi, which is part of POSIX. To pull it out, POSIX needs to pull out first. So as ex, which is actually the same binary as vi (hardlinked, historically) and works differently with argv[0]...

"someone" was wrong. perl was removed over a decade ago. It became too complicated to try to keep perl-in-base up to date w/rt our release schedules.

Colleagues, could you please tell me what I need to do to get dhclient hooks working? I created the directories /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks and /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks. (That's how they're named in /sbin/dhclient-script. Without the ".d") Then, I...

Except it wasn't. Ideally you want to have the whole base covered with tests that run in CI. Adding & running tests for the r* commands would be a waste of time and resources. Most plaintext & insecure daemons could be moved to ports without...

Try with: make BATCH=yes config-recursive

So what started as a security precaution has blown up into a major fiasco that shows how truly fragile and low quality a lof of FOSS software really is. I had to change my google account password because it is on a device I no longer control...

Yeah, that's a proper spirit of OSS collaboration and helping fellow users /s Do you have any idea to whom you responded? IDK scottro personally, but I learned so much from his posts here, and even more before on the other BSD related forums

OMG! Scared myself. I thought I accidentally clicked on a Reddit link!!

Just from one of the secondary installs (not even my main desktop which has way more pkgs, but I'm booted in Alt Linux ATM building 16.6.7 kernel for QEMU aarch64 Gentoo – it will take some time) pkg info | wc -l 1768 Last time pkg wanted to...

I've been using the Perixx 535 for over a year now at work and at home and it's pretty much perfect for me. I had quite a few microsoft, logitec or cherry ergonomical keyboards before (all rubber dome) and they all just gave up after ~1 year of...

If reliability is the main criteria, then IMO no switch can beat Japanese Topre.

It's brilliant, but I'll recommend reading books first. There are two TV shows made, a Chinese one, Three-Body (30 episodes; slow going but quite good) and a Netflix 3 Body Problem (8 episodes; meh)

From DOS to FreeBSD I am using Cherry keyboard(s).

Perhaps that is the reason. I have 'only' 4GB in my Desktop. Perhaps I upgrade to 8 GB. The other solution is to install FreeBSD with UFS if I decide to work with FreeBSD 15 and when I do it. For A NAS I will need ZFS, or perhaps Hammer 2 ?

Bhyve. However, it seems to be broken for me in 16-current.

Do you believe there is intelligent life beyond the earth. Why or why not. Personally i think but they are to far away to make contact.

Tragic. Perhaps a metaport "classicbsd" with all that programs and the games will be necessary. Another called "mitxclients" is necessary already now.

As long as it is that pkgbase packages are build from /use/src it is only a question of how that is sliced. Pulling in stuff from /use/ports into base, now that is what Linux is doing and getting into hot water with. And I have seen enough Linux...

But i'd love to bump into Eccentrica Gallumbits.

Gnome is a genetic dead end only missing its rename to systemd-desktop. Their dependency on Systemd dynamic users is a mess. Hard forks like Cinammon or MATE if you don't care about using X.org is better. The latest GDM on Linux needs like 35...

For the younger folks here - first post by David G. Potter (April 3, 1947 – June 13, 2001) under pseudonym Gharlane of Eddore (Sep 25, '92): Sneakers: Moral Confusion?

No, I haven't read that book, but I remember Stephen Hawking's warnings... you wouldn't want to bump into Gharlane of Eddore... :)

Bhyve. However, it seems to be broken for me in 16-current.

Which is, IMO, a good thing! Haven't you read Remembrance of Earth's Past by Liu Cixin?

I just ordered the MX Mechanical in the "tactile quiet" variant. It was 30% off on Amazon. Thanks a lot!

I'm trying to connect LAN networks to servers. When I ran ftpd from the same IP range connecting it to a network for other devices, I could access them from these devices. But when, I put ftpd on a different range, I couldn't route them, despite...

The backlighting effects are on the keyboard, not tied to the OS. I have wired versions, and you can change the options from the keyboard. Illumination levels, "patterns" etc. OS doesn't matter. This is what I have...
