As with others here, my ~/Downloads is mostly a mess. For books I want to keep and plan to read I use deskutils/calibre. It's great for organizing content, you can even add extra metadata fields, just set Calibre to use external PDF reader of...

It is back as port? As package?

In the above, I've made a mistake, I meant to put the netmask of /12 as that's what's in /etc/hosts. netmask, gives me /32 for everything I've typed yet. I haven't gotten a hang of cidr. Though, either way, any netmask I had above was incorrect...

Websites on local server, if you stay at home/office like me. Websites can be created by arguments and inside a website sub-arguments (sections and sub-sections). On the disk make the same tree of directories with the same name of the websites...

It's your responsibility to conduct yourself in a mature and respectful manner; especially in a place like the FreeBSD Forums. There's a great amount of prestige and influence attached to the name; and nonsense such as your ridiculous thread name...

I had chromium in 14.2, upgraded to 14.3, and still had it, then deleted it as I deleted the dependency libsysinfo for avoiding conflits when building emacs, and now I do not have it and cannot have it. This is not the first time. One is...

Thanks for the update and for posting your solution, I'm glad that it worked! TBH x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics didn't even cross my mind.

Try to understand how subneting work. I often used this tool to see which addresses are in given subnet. There are some tools in ports which helps calculate subnets, for example net_mgmt/cidr or net_mgmt/netmask.

Well... it seams that starting /usr/local/bin/syndaemon -i 1.0 -d -K solves the issue. At least when I run it manually after mate session started it seams to work. Now i am trying to start it in .xinitrc, but it does not start. How can I make it...

Who or Whom? That's sad 🤷‍♂️ Personally, I don't give 2 eFs about morals, only thing that I do care about is ethics. Looks like it. No and no. IDK from where (that was discussed here) you draw up premises to come up with those...

Sorry Useradd, I'm not getting drawn into a discussion/argument about exclamation points. Charlie Brown, I've already answered this post a couple of times, mentioning that my experience has been fine save for some Nvidia issues. So, I did make...

Because obnoxious tantrums from the likes of you and that Retro person have no validity, nor are they of any real concern with regards to the quality or engineering of the base system. When volunteers spend their time and energy putting work into...

FreeBSD 15.0-BETA1 Now Available contains a lot more detailed info.

Is that not a CMS (content management system)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_management_system I personally order my files in directories, nothing special. Perhaps you can write your own program? I did something like that for my CDs...

Its really sad when project developers get frustrated by so called "users" that have no idea what are they talking about and constantly bitch about everything like entitled spoiled brats. This is why we cant have nice things. Im seeing this as a...

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...

> I will not be surprised if 16.0 adds some sort of Flatpak-type system, or Wayland, or a systemd-style init nightmare. This is simply FUD. All you are doing is demotivating people who are doing the heavy lifting. For myself, I can either...

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

None .. and I have total mess in those. I mean I keep them under e.books/ and e-learning/ for 20 years or so (yeah, dot vs hyphen mistake too). But I still end up googling stuff when I need something even though I do have those books in my...

And we also have users bashing freebsd and praising debian. What are they doing on freebsd forums ?

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.

Well, I knew that the problem has to do with xoauth. thunderbird should ask for the master password if it cannot login. You can perhaps try the following. Login in the web to your google account, go to the 'account' page and to 'security', then...

Requires the Google ecosystem, but anyway: notebooklm.google.com is a nice toy for pdfs. It is a LLM that you can throw a few documents in and it will answer from those documents. Questions, summaries etc. I find it to be quite good as long as...

Sadly, Cohen is dead. Just imagine him touring the late night shows today...

Yep. One thing that has always boggled my mind was people that announce they are leaving a forum. Why do that? Just ask the mods to delete your account/login and move on. If one doesn't like the direction a project is moving, why not get more...

pkgbase concerns me and I may look elsewhere, as I have been using FreeBSD for the last 5 years or so precisely because of the sensible split between base and everything else. A big part of "the BSD way". I you decide to look elsewhere, it's...

When Judgement Day comes it'll find me busy building the kernel & world. I'll shrug it off saying "wait" and then calmly proceed to run make installworld. That's why I don't care about the end of the world or your favourite Doomsday scenario...

PDFs that I actually want to read I stuff into Google Books. It works quite well for that.

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=286592#c13 works for me feel free to test..

Sometimes Google legitimately fatfingers things, too.

This is silly, but made me laugh. https://www.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/The-Adventures-of-Beans-and-Peanut-Back-for-More-Fun-on-Bored-Panda-670d1696ee271__700.jpg

Nobody really knows. I create a title for the pdf that best identifies it if the title doesn't already do that. Then I file it in a directory where I think it best belongs; such as Drive/FreeBSD/ Later, if I'm looking for a particular subject...

Pretty strange because I did exactly what was suggested by Colin and now all my packages are like FreeBSD-kernel-generic-15.0.b1.20251012072228 and [20:28][fmc000@tu45b-freebsd ~]$ uname -r 15.0-BETA1 [20:29][fmc000@tu45b-freebsd ~]$ I...

Maybe I am doing something wrong but the longer is the list of ports I want to compile with poudriere, the longer it takes to configure them versus compiling them. I have a lot of CPUs and RAM and I compile everything in memory. Multiple ports...

You can pick up an old one off ebay, I think it's out of print... good little book. Ha, wrong, it's still in print. Umm... maybe. Not sure!

Habemvs BETA1 packages: https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-stable/2025-October/003387.html I'll stay on 15-STABLE. See ya.

Following on from bsdimp , it is OpenBSD which has Perl in base (mainly for their packages system unlike i.e Debian which uses it for everything). sed and awk are very different to Perl in that they are part of POSIX/SUS. They are also less...

As for audacity, I had been annoyed by this rendering issue for a long time but finally found a solution. The language environments like LANG, LC_CTYPE should be unspecified for an unknow reason to avoid the issue. Since my primary language is...

Nice. Few years ago I started my own. But then RL (kids,..) took precedence.. Out of curiosity: why did you put an extra nop in the handler? When I started my project I hated att syntax. Ended up rewritting everything with att. :). I still tend...
