It takes me 3-4 minutes to fully build Wine with just 'make'...and I'd probably need 50 GHz CPU if it were single job per defaults ;)

Because 22 years ago Perl was ejected from base for good reasons. It took alot of work to correct that work. Please learn from the past. Minimal base system is best. I am not a programmer. Just a user viewpoint...

I am hesitant to assume this is an OpenGL spec issue because it is specific to Android (i.e desktop GL on Linux/Windows/Web never strips the context). So it is definitely within the OS layer (perhaps not driver layer). Don't get me wrong, the...

I believe this variable doesn't exist in currently supported variables. There are four JOBS related variables defined, none of them is the one you mentioned. It can't be found nowhere in the ports framework. Wherever you got the info from, it's...

As I can see, article talks about Data Translation DT2871 HSI Color Frame Grabber card and Mercury Computer Systems MC3200 (Weitek XL-8032 chipset) add-in card/processor for balanced MIPS/MFLOPS vector and scalar operations.

I guess Rust users are part of the "woke" crowd of programming.

Chernobyl stalker Vicky found an electronics magazine in an abandoned apartment in Pripyat; one article appears to be discussing the design of a 24-bit graphics card or perhaps an external framestore for what looks like a PC, I can follow some...

FWIW, I'm leaving this thread as I'm back to 14.3-STABLE because of 290265.

I’m not a programmer (can do only some sh, bash and awk), but following different events and dramas online, it looks to me that Rust doesn’t have “Rust Language” problem, it has “Rust bros” problem, and that’s what some folks are allergic to...

No. I'm still here.

UPDATE: turns out i just misunderstood the purpose of MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE: i thought it was a variable that forced the build system to do a parallel build, because whenever i'd run make -jN on a port, it'd most of the time throw an error telling me...

I don’t think that this sysctl is related to the problem at hand (default is 12 for a while now), but hw.psm.synaptics_support=1 might be?

Please see 85232

And we consume a bunch of them with every meal 😉

DNA is a complex molecule, and even by itself, it does have an outsize influence on our lives... as well as hydrocarbons and carbohydrates :P

Poking him while he peeks – is his name maybe a Commodore? 😉

nope, just poking him while he makes a silly face

Are you attempting “cat hypnosis”? AFAIK this will be more effective if he is on his back 😜

here he is again

Khm... C21H30O2 😜

This article says "QR (quercitin) may hold therapeutic potential against SARS-CoV-2 due to its inhibitory effects on several stages of the viral life cycle." and "However, large well-designed RCTs of quercetin-based compositions are still needed...

Charlie Brown I did know about various Gentoo groups, and I haven't asked on the forum. My logic is that I figure this is probably a bhyve issue, rather than a Gentoo one, and I already get in somewhat embarrassing email exchanges with my friend...

Yeah ! Definitely share it just here, on that thread. Do you know that there is a Gentoo Discussion chat on conversation app ? Have you asked help on Gentoo's forum ?

Unfortunately Rust can't protect the data from being stripped out under it. Same with the difficulty of using C (or traditional C++) middleware with smart pointers. Unless Rust "owns" the memory, it can still only make (educated) guesses at its...

Oh, you would be surprised what can happen. Consider this: dma->src = source; dma->dst = dest; dma->size = len; Now, these registers are right next to each other in the address space. The compiler could figure out that invoking the load store...

I find it more weird to find this thread here.

The wife.

No, sadly, no luck on it. I might just let it go. I'm not super interested in Gentoo--no dislike for it, just no special urge for it. As it was, I'd written a quick Arch howto (https://srobb.net/archquick.html) and my Gentoo friend said, you...

Rust is a high-performance Algol like language like C and C++ with zero or low cost abstractions. It uses manual memory management (not a garbage collector) like C and C++, but it is specifically designed to raise problems with your manual memory...

No. I'm still here.

Some words about why OSes don't use the 4 rings. https://superuser.com/questions/1063420/why-do-x86-cpus-only-use-2-out-of-4-rings

Of course it's cool and tricky, but I would metaphorically smack anyone who did that up side the head, while yelling "bad engineer! no cookie!" Actually, someone may come up with some esoteric need, but I'd more take offense to it if the...

I wonder if this is a reason "An apple a day keeps the Dr away". Jose only if his mother was a hamster.

Update 2: In FreeBSD 15-STABLE loading from /etc/rc.conf vboxguest_enable="YES" vboxservice_enable="YES" works okay with X/Plasma6 again, no need for using /etc/rc.local for vboxguest

dear vermanden vermaden : what is the good news. i cannot open that link. the GOV block that web site... please show something to us. thanks.

When we move to pkgbase, will we have all those few hundred system packages listed in pkg info, or will we have some sort of separation? For example I dislike how dpkg -l on a minimal Debian install still spews out few screens of packages...

I always upgrade when the version I currently run is EOL at the earliest. Especially in this case 15 seems to bring some major changes, so I expect it to still have some flaws left at official release. That ain't no malice insinuation. It's...

This is the exact reply I did not want to get. I'll refrain from posting sarcastic remarks about the discovery of grep. It is what it is and I don't like it.

I am actually considering switching some of my machines to NetBSD, as I feel like FreeBSD is going down a road to Linux. NetBSD has a better non-linuxified X implementation, and no pkgbase. I fear I will have to stick on 14.x until it is EOLed...

in 15.0, our ancient Heimdal 1.5 was replaced with MIT Kerberos. this means we now support modern key types (Heimdal was limited to aes256-sha1, and defaulted to DES), and the new libgssapi implementation provides better compatibility with...

There is this thing called rolling linux distros. Im still traumatized by broken grub updates and dead xorg servers. I dont want to go back. :)

Could you please elaborate on that or give some links?

Exactly. I will stay on 13.x as long as there is a supported 13.x version. Then I will switch to 14.x, and stay on that as long as there is support, which I think is until 2028 or thereabouts. Not clear yet whether I will move to 15.x ever; that...

Most of the more complex drivers for Intel chips in the Linux kernel are written by Intel. It is simply unknown whether the documentation is sufficient for writing drivers without internal help.

Microplane Zester. So... you smell of elderberries?

Gotta be the gas stove. Concerns over nitrates leading to cognitive decline are overblown - that ship sailed long ago. When the power goes out (as it often does in my neighborhood) I can still have hot food.
