As 15.0 release date is approaching I'm curious to know about the this bug. It depends on many others, a few of them regressions from previous releases. I'm pretty scared because I'm one of the reporters of a (pretty nasty IMHO) regression from...

Maturin, ok that made me laugh enough to make me cough. Good way to close the evening. Now, as for any AI in the browser, some web searching has said that these are the ones to be sure to change to false in about:config to get rid of AI in...

See, scottro ? latin. :cool: I guess you have one of those automatic helpers active in your browser - "your computer knows better what you really wanna do, than yourself." 😁 - If I had to make a guess would bet on some AI plugin somewhere from...

If they push it back up into Debian it would be public again. But generally, a large part of organizations using FreeBSD are GPL haters.

Fuck knows what is going on here

Właściwie próbowałem skonfigurować język polski jakiś czas temu, ale przez długi czas nie korzystałem z moich systemów i teraz chcę pozbyć się wszystkich polskich wiadomości ktore od czasu do czasu, gdy się pojawia i nie mogę tego rozgryźć.

Left to right, meaning left component must hook on to right's API.

That diagram is userland to kernel. On FreeBSD jackd sits on OSS and doesn't need changed options when compiling. Pulse needs to have the jack option enabled. There are some ports that have a jack option that needs turning on, e.g. mplayer...

In case the system needs to be bootable on a BIOS machine, there is no need to wipe out the disk completely and start anew to add a proper sized freebsd-boot. Just shrink the "efi" partition on the current setup by 1 MB to make room for...

I do have one FreeBSD-14.3 that I'm planning to upgrade when 15.0-RELEASE comes and that one machine has an AX200, so thanks for your information on this.

Reporting back: - I installed freebsd 15.0-BETA4 shortly after it was released - iwl0wifi device works now, no crashes, it actually works really well! I'm getting > 360 mbps upload and >400 mbps download, which is even more than my phone. In...

Yup. I've met more firewall admins who only understand IP addresses and port numbers, and don't understand the TCP/IP protocols. For example, I was working on implementing Veritas Bare Metal Restore, part of Veritas NetBackup. It required DCHP...

This evening I tried booting FreeBSD-15.0-BETA4-arm64-aarch64-memstick.img.xz, but the same problem persists: usb not working - so no progress.

I abandoned VS Code because of this.

Yeah, not just on ARM, it's a drag on AMD64 too.

It's also so awesome when the "security" team talks down to you when you try to explain why ICMP is needed. "Everyone knows ping is unsafe. Duh."

Correct. For IPv4 ICMP types 3, 4, 11, and 12 are required. For IPv6 ICMP6 types 1, 2, 3, 4, 128, 129, 133, 134, 135, 136, 138, 139, and 140 should be passed. Too many firewall admins block all ICMP because of the ancient Windows XP ping of...

make sure that you're passing at least ICMP types unreachable, param-problem, and time-exceeded. dropping all ICMP can cause major problems with path MTU discovery and otherwise jank up a mostly-working network.

Can't even tell I was here...

Indeed. Just like they did with the "White House", the Rust lobbying committee are quite smart; they target the right people to confuse. Usually these are non-technical people who hold sway but have limited technical understanding. When it comes...

Hi. I have a Wireguard server behind NAT, but can't get it to work. Seems to missing routing between wg interface and rest of the system. I'm using a Wireguard service from wireguard-tools pkg. The system is 14.3 fresh install My system is not...

Well, over the past few days, several things have occurred: 1) I "fat-fingered" an rm and so damaged my system that I had to completely reinstall and reconfigure it from scratch. :rude: And 2) I can, now, no longer find my office printer at all...

cracauer@, you have been mostly right, and I wasn't completely wrong. Since the games I played in the 80s on my PC1512 (8086, IBM compatible PC) provided something like music without a soundcard, made me suspicious. As always Wikipedia brought...

The worst things happen when you force somebody to add comments who is just not suitable to imagine what other people need for comments.

To write good comments is an art of it's own. When I programmed in assembler - which is a "language" that teaches you to document your code - I started on writing the comments first, before I even dropped a single line of code. Prose: What I'm...

Thanks! I set the CFLAG to -I/usr/local/include, and it got past that error. There's another file it can't find now, but I should be able to work from here. I'll report back on what I find.

PREFIX and X11BASE typically determine where the executable (or library) gets installed (often it ends up in ${PREFIX}/bin for example), it has very little to do with the location of the include headers and/or libraries. Almost correct. It's...

To start off, I am very inexperienced with modifying makefiles or CFLAGS or anything of the sort. This may have a simple solution, but I haven't found documentation yet that points me in the right direction. I am still looking, but am asking...

1. What messages are in /var/log/messages? 2. Are you running ipmon, if yes, are there any messages? 3. What does ipnat -lv say? 4. What does ipfstat -sl say?

Maybe not with the current driver. But the hardware should be able to do it.

Hm? That should work to play a lower volume sound on the speaker.

If you want to build the ninja macho ports such as Electron, Chromium etc you should really think about a beefy computer. It is not so much the 3 day compile time until you get a package. It is the 2 day compile time until you hit an error and...

Try pulse width modulation.

Because this picture was taken on December 7, 1972, so before the bypass was built, it shows the Mark I.

The Zenarmour rundown is funny. AI slop article 100%.

Is that a picture of Mark I or II?

Apropos not matching the port name, not only non-trivial ports but also trivial ports like deskutils/bookworm are affected. I had to look up the packages binary name, the "bookworm" command couldn't be found. It turns out the binary is named...

It's variable. Many of those have various backends to stack them on different things. For example, on Linux it is not uncommon to have a stack like this: - ALSA as in the hardware driver - PULSE on top of ALSA - ALSA as in the compatibility...

Why are we over 50 posts in this thread? OP decides FreeBSD doesn't work for them, ok fine. Don't use it. Why be dramatic about "leaving FreeBSD". I've never understood threads like this. If one decides that a Ford automobile does not meet...
