Late to the party but was looking for a USB drive myself.
I think some USB 3.* drives have a firmware file that gets overwriten with the "dd" command. I had that happen with a Team Group drive and it was not uncommon. There was a recovery...
Well, Linux has quite a few mitigation mechanisms in the kernel, many more than FreeBSD (without capsicum).
The problem is that applications don't use them, respectively don't make an effort to be able to operate under those (useful)...
I've used my and my employer's phones as hotspots for three of my FreeBSD laptops (and for my employer provided W11 laptop). No problems here. The three FreeBSD laptops had iwm(4), iwn(4), and rtwn(4) NICs.
Network performance was poor, though...
What the hell are they useful for besides violating copyright, collecting personal data, pushing teenagers to commit suicide, using massive amounts of electricity, and just generally being useless?
I completely disagree. Wikipedia is a fine resource.
The founder of Cuil was a colleague of mine (at 3-letter computer company), and his wife came from Google's search engine team. I knew him well, and the wife only a little bit. He was a...
I disagree. They whole web is under attack.

Even if its not bots the web is under attack.

I just tried it again on another computer and it works fine.
The problem was that I also had an ethernet connection and did know how the change the default route.
I don't think it can help. The whole nvme subsystem disappears, along with the zpool hosted on it. It's really not only the filesystem(s) I'm worried about.
If this is your main system so you are worried about damaging data, one thing I try when debugging suspend/resume issues is to remount the filesystem ro first.
# mount -u -oro /
Of coure this assumes that all volatile things (i.e written log...
When I use my pone as a hotspot, I have no problems connecting to the Internet from Windows, but can't get this working under FreeBSD.
Previously I was able to connect from FreeBSD via a broadband router, but simply changing the SSID and...
Ok.
Jailed datasets are mounted inside the Jail after the jail has started, and unmounted before it is stopped ... at least in BASTILLE. That makes the jailed datasets near useless, or require some dirty hacks, what I don't.
# Start jail...
per this: https://ezntek.com/posts/librebooting-the-thinkpad-t480-20241207t0933/
a few things on T480 doesn't work in libreboot:
perhaps the problems are the same in coreboot?
but the function keys should work.
Did you update the BIOS before...
I've been dd-ing flash drives for as long as there have been flash drives to dd on FreeBSD (24 years?). I just use the cheap ones Microcenter gives away or whatever someone gives me for free. I've never had dd fail or brick anything and I do this...
Well, covacat's suggestion got printing to work!! Almost instantly, too. My thanks to him for his suggestion. Once I properly entered the necessary info into /etc/hosts, the printer instantly spit out the files that had been waiting. I was...
No, in this case the site is running an older version of the check with a bug that is known and fixed in newer versions. Disabling Javascript results in the block page considering that you are probably human but not playing along with the...
Yes, I did. It all "just worked" using the configuration step I described in my earlier post. Which version of FreeBSD are you using? The one I was using when I wrote the earlier post was 14.2.
When I try starting Chromium, I get an error msg about the profile being in use by another process and is locked.
How can I tell what process is locking that profile?
The forum is full of very nice and capable people, please don't think everybody are all the same.
Just wait for the right person to help you, add the necessary information when it's needed and be patient.
For the rest, just ignore those you don't...
I have a Bastille Jail with some jailed zfs datasets for mariadb.
Jails are created using Bastille, datasets are jailed using Bastille zfs command.
The problem is when the Jail starts, and try to start mysql-server service, seems like the ZFS...
No, I was more worried about the partitioning. Older versions used a different set up with /, /usr, /var and /tmp split up into different partitions and filesystems. I installed 10.1 in a VM a couple of minutes ago to check, and your partition...
As SirDice already recommended: NFO, RFB (nuke from orbit, rebuild from backup)
A clean new install and importing user data from backup will be much faster and less troublesome than dealing with all the fallout such a huge update step (or many...
Something else I just thought of, how about the hardware itself? Is it just as old as the OS it's running? So ~10 years or even older? It might be worthwhile to invest in some new hardware too. While I have no problems running the latest FreeBSD...
Live USB 15.0 doesn't resume from suspend. Not even the first time. It's actually even worse than the normal issue I'm seeing because with live USB the screen remains black.

As I said on the first page of this thread, this forum isn't the place for this discussion. I doubt any of us have convinced anyone disagreeing with us with our words, so let me stop being a hypocrite, at least in this thread, and leave said thread.
I honestly don't know enough about it to make a judgment, but accessing the wiki, from New York in the US, I only get a flash of checking you're not a bot before it goes right to the page. I don't know where either of you are located, but could...
I've been dd-ing flash drives for as long as there have been flash drives to dd on FreeBSD (24 years?). I just use the cheap ones Microcenter gives away or whatever someone gives me for free. I've never had dd fail or brick anything and I do this...
Because if dd was actually killing flash drivers, you would be reading about this everywhere. And if Kingston is really that bad, no one would buy them. Its a simple elimination logic. But here you are blaming the dd and Kingston.
Buy a new usb...
FreeBSD does not brick any flash drives. It does nothing out of the ordinary, just writes to the storage device. If the device can't handle writes and breaks down, that's the device's fault not the OS.
