I didn't realize this is already in. This is the way to go of course.

As of December 1st of this year, I will make my last house payment and will be totally debt free sans personal property taxes and utilities.

They let guinea fowl roam the park by my house to keep ticks and other insects under control. They always show a great interest in my little shih-tzu dogs. Guina fowl are so ugly they're cute.

Reken Have you find the solution?

I'm currently using Ubuntu Linux as desktop, and have been using FreeBSD (currently 14.3) in a VM for a while to get a feel for it, so far liking FreeBSD a lot but have decades of Linux "dependencies" to get rid of first. I used to run Solaris...

I am Manley Pager, just a simple man trying to make it through these difficult ages. Not an IT professional or even a hobbyist. Just someone with an appreciation for simplicity and a lot of time on his hands. My personal computing needs are few...

How long do you think the hardware will hold out at the required temperatures?

Yep, 6.5.0, launching from SDDM has been fixed! Next issue to work through is power management - SDDM does require restarting by hand if the monitor goes to sleep. (with service sddm restart, run as root) But at this point, I don't consider it to...

As a desktop user, out of Windows slowness frustration, and hopping to Linux (usually Debian) and Windows, back and forth, some years ago I don't remember exactly when, I tried FreeBSD 12. First, I was just curious. Then, I noticed how stable it...

OK. I first pkg delete nvidia* Then did pkg install nvidia-driver. Still no nvidia-modeset module loaded. I get the same error messages as previously. Rebooted, and did all the above again. STILL get the same error messages and nvidia-modeset...

Well, I read your comment at messages #17, thoroughly. Have you read my reply at message # 21? I suppose there is something else which could cause version 580 of the Nvidia drivers to not work correctly, but if everything in version 580 is...

You need to upgrade to 15.0 (commit). I have no idea if you can just patch just like in the post from covacat.

That'd make it #2.

It is not mine but it was something similar :) Monitor was Philips VGA, Cherry keyboard.

Okay, under "Weird-looking" I dare to throw something really weird looking into the pool. When you need more drives than your case can handle, you can either buy a new case, or just create more slots: 9 HDDs (the other 4 are in the default...

Was it this? That was my first computer! It had Windows 98 SE and Intel graphics (810 or 845). My friend had a SiS 620 computer that ran Crimsonland better and I tried just changing the driver under Device Manager to it 😆 Local repair shop...

Mr. Sneezy Egg Separator, because it looks so fascinating and is so easy to use.

I read about Radon baths. Supposedly expands your blood vessels, reduces inflammation and pain etc. The Soviets had a whole bunch of sanatoriums for such treatments. Look up Khoja Obi Garm & Tskaltubo. Also used in Europe. Here (in the US) any...

That's not what the graphs are telling me. The number of users has been growing quite steadily. It may have had some dips here or there, but overal the numbers are rising.

scottro had it mostly right. The Forums started out not only because other forums failed or went away, but also because people at FreeBSD felt it needed its own community support beyond the mailing lists. This was at a time when mailing lists...

Finally, I unmounted the MySQL databases, and now all three user datasets are separated from zroot/ROOT to the common zroot/DATA array. Many thanks to SirDice, Erichans, and vermaden for clarification, especially for the principle of purpose...

OK. Success. X is now working. Here is what I did: pkg delete nvidia* The system them deleted all of the nvidia-580 files, 4 of them. I then input the following: pkg search nvidia The result was a long list of available nvidia apps. The most...

I'm glad you found your happiness and the meaning of life through eating eggs.

To revert the cursor back, put about:config in the address line. Search for the widget.gtk.legacy-cursors.enabled option and change it to true.

That article presents the mainstream reasoning — that modern OSes only use two rings due to paging granularity and portability concerns. But my goal is quite the opposite. Non-portability is intentional, not a flaw Many OSes avoid segmentation...

I do not eat eggs or anything with eggs.

OK. I'm going to begin again: It seems obvious to me that the nvidia-modeset.ko module, which is required by X, is not being loaded. Inputting pkg info nvidia* returns the following: nvidia-driver-580.95.05 nvidia-kmod-580.95.05.1403506...

You might buy the wrong stuff? Our Dishwasher (Miele) had a five year warranty and has now been running without a hitch for 10 years. Our car (a Tesla Model S which I would not buy again for unrelated reasons) came with a total bumper to bumper...

I've never been interested in theming (GTK or QT), but I think there should be a setting that determines whether applications use a dark or light theme. The GTK theme you're using probably doesn't fully comply with these settings. I personally...

Did you use the lang/dotnet8 package (or port) or did you install it manually?

"A weird little computer" I'm currently working on ... ASRock 4X4 BOX-4800U AMD Ryzen

One more from history. The Jupiter Ace was the worlds first micro with FORTH in ROM, instead of BASIC. The design of the Forth ROM software was excellent. Like the ZX80, this was implemented in discrete TTL, no ULA, and it had the same crappy...

I just finished this one. It's an 18x5x14 inch case. The inside is a Dell SFF, RX 6400, 16GB DDR3, 250GB Sata SSD, Intel i7-3770 CPU, 300W inverter, 4A 12V charger, 12V 10AH LifePO4 battery. The interior top is made with MDF with 2MM mousepad...

Yes, but the keyboard wasn't that great. Better than the ZX-81 or the ZX Spectrum, but not great. I still have my Oric-1.

I soon outgrew the ZX81 and got an Oric 1 which was another brilliant design (and of course I got an atmos a year later). This one was 6502 based and much higher build quality, in fact the build quality of these was excellent. Great machine...

I was going through some of my posts and stumbled upon this one. It has been an interesting year, I'm still on the same team, things are ok, at least I have a stream of work. The team is not well organized, so the backlog refinement doesn't...

Ken Thompson Recalls Unix’s Rowdy, Lock-Picking Origins.

hardworkingnewbie That's disgusting. I want one. Until recently, I did all the cooking at home. I always separate eggs with my hands. Using a shell there's too much risk of puncturing the yolk. Happily, I'm taking cooking up again in January.

That's literally a crap PC.
