I don't have a 4, so can't test that.

I did use older FreeBSD images on various Pis. There were no steps other than burning the SD card. It boots into a full OS, there is no installer. Which Pi do you have, exactly?

For PC laptops the most important feature is a good return policy.

We have tiers for programming languages? Rust should work just fine most of the time because it is needed by quite a few ports. If Rust breaks a lot of people get notified.

Gogogo. If you can make this work that would be a very valuable patch for the FreeBSD port.

I'd say the most expensive laptop is the one you buy and that can not do what you want it to do.

It's where the sponsors wanted the money to go. The GUI work is not that laptop specific, though.

It is the most complicated driver ever.

Thank you. Can I update releases consistently? (13.2 -> 13.3 etc.)

It's '14.3-RELEASE' and '13.2-RELEASE', not '14.3' and '13.2'. And it's the wrong way around, your jail is currently running 13.2-RELEASE and you want to upgrade (-r) to 14.3-RELEASE.

Zio did you call the bank to block the card?

I will be able to go on with my FreeBSD projects and with my life even if I've lost the money. I'm a strong man.

Also what we could try to do, is make a SD card image of already-setup FreeBSD for some Raspberry Pi, with the choice of software Peter would like to have.

It is a FreeBSD users forum, so it's natural we'll be a bit defensive. Consider we will always advocate FreeBSD usage. Somebody being curious, then falling out quickly, will naturally ignite some responses. However it's all fine and civil...

FreeBSD is a bit like "Windows Core" or "Busybox+Linux". The user installs what they need from scratch. This is perfect for people who don't want i.e a GUI desktop but does mean that those that do, need to install the extra packages themselves...

The one that bought must return the product. I hope he did not give the name of ZioMario as the buyer ... But this is very probably, the thief wants to keep his name secret.

It's '14.3-RELEASE' and '13.2-RELEASE', not '14.3' and '13.2'. And it's the wrong way around, your jail is currently running 13.2-RELEASE and you want to upgrade (-r) to 14.3-RELEASE.

As said, for payment in internet, I use an account in one of these new smartphone banks, neobanks, without any credit line, only with a small deposit. Now that there is in EU real time transfer, you can transfer to it just short before a bigger...

4 Months ago I bought 2x12TB WD Red Plus HDDs. Since 1 week ago I got a unrecovable read geli error on one of the HDDs, and I thought, I will scrub the HDDs. That error went away, but now I get on the same HDD the same error. This is a snippet of...

The case has been solved just right now. I found the smoking gun. I received a spoofed email that looked like it came from my bank, and I clicked the link. I even found on the history the fake webpage showed on that email,so it's sure that I...

Short update for 15.0-RELEASE, I've just tested this with 15.0-BETA2: - jlduran@ has imported blocklist 2025/04-/28 in https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=e2dcc9fc4 - upstream has renamed blacklistd -> blocklistd so we have followed suit...

Also very rare... I remember X62 (!!) It's very special :) https://www.notebookcheck.net/X62-Laptop-Review.211598.0.html Sadly, seems https://www.51nb.com/ does not exist now. I'm still hoping for a motherboard upgrade for X220 or X201!

OK - I was not specific enough - ThinkPad T25 with ANSI US keyboard.

Please show us the output of gpart show -p gpart list zpool list -v

A number of years ago I would/could snap that up right away.

You still need to do the install part of the upgrade. freebsd-update -r <some_version> upgrade downloads and prepares the upgrade, it doesn't make any changes yet. That happens with freebsd-update <options> install.

I have a Windows VM with IP address 192.168.0.77. I use this tcpproxy.conf rule, on a FreeBSD server, for accessing this VM from Internet via Wireguard: listen * 3390...

You've installed Cinnamon but configured .xinitrc to start LXQT. Replace "startlxqt" with "cinnamon-session". Redirect the screen output into a file, example: startx >& xorg.log. This log file can then be sent to a text storage site. I.e.: cat...

Maybe it makes sense to list the releases in order of release and update each one in turn?

.

Yes. Yes. But I did these manipulations, and after mergin the files that need to be merged (combined?) jail stops loading. In 'data' jail userland is for 14.2, as I understand. But freebsd-version displays 13.2. After freebsd-update -b...

No. `make extract`, then compile the work tree on Gentoo to see whether that works.

Did you compile Chromium on Gentoo? If so you could cross-check whether compiling the distfile (no patches) from the FreeBSD port still works.

Brave (the browser) is a cryptobro malware. Don't.

worse, he invented javascript.

Great advice. I think fighting for a refund is wasted time.

While thread says "good amount of money" I have a feeling it was not that much. Enough to get angry for sure but not enough to sue a bank. One more "beer advice" I'll give -- consult this with a lawyer. 200-300EUR for consultation would be worth...

I mean me too to be honest. Some don't require 2FA for sure but CVV was sent (name+card #+cvv). But I know some don't and I think I was suprised like this before. But here only ZioMario knows what he was actually doing (hopefully) and what he...

Well, that is your opinion and you do have right to fight for it in the court of law. I'm not a lawyer, I can't advise on that. If we are drinking beer (or wine) together I'd tell you to forget about it and learn from your mistake.

I mentioned it now 3 times. Not all transactions require CVV. But yes, this is Mario-styled thread :) There are more questions than answers.

worse, he invented javascript.

The thing is it doesn't matter what kind of token generator you have, either hw or sw based. Problem here is that Mario sent his token to a 3rd party.

I don't use my phone to authorize logins or bank transfers. I don't have a bank app installed on my phone either. So if someone takes my phone or even steals it, they won't be able to do anything about my online banking.I only use FreeBSD and a...

If you want to dig into it here's a good start. Look for low value transactions and exemptions from strong customer authentication. But for the conversation here saying some payments are excluded is enough and it's a feature. As this is...

Yeah, you get the ease of switching branches and versions.

I welcome KDE option in the installer. - we used to have GUI installable years ago - KDE was initially inspired by CDE which is a true Unix thing - KDE on FreeBSD receives much effort nowadays. It is the farthest ahead in fat desktop...

FYI, there's an update and fix mentioned in the PR.

KDE ports team is being the most productive and it has the most attention among any other DE , so it is reasonable choice. If you make grep in git history in ports tree you will get what I mean. I am not a KDE proponent, I use wayland for many...
