I would like to configure a Hairpin NAT within my network. An axample diangram below (image from https://support.netstream.cloud/knowledge/hairpin-nat ip's in my network are different, but idea is identical) my current ipfw.rules are...

Running the same software GhostBSD will use exactly as much RAM as FreeBSD.

I had the same behavior, that's why I use Ethernet. I also tried it with FreeBSD-RELEASE 13.x and I think with FreeBSD-RELEASE 14.x too. Maybe you could try experimenting with the arguments in rc.conf create_args_wlan0="country US regdomain FCC"

Not sure why but re-installing LXDE-META sorted out the problem.

There is no need for an unencrypted /boot partition. The FreeBSD loader can boot the kernel from a full encrypted Root-On-ZFS [1] or Root-on-UFS [1]. geli init Initialize providers which need to be encrypted. ...

1. don't post pictures of text; copy the text and use the 'code' tags so everyone can read and quote it properly. 2. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/ghostbsd-pfsense-truenas-and-all-other-freebsd-derivatives.7290/ TrueNAS is not FreeBSD and...

Moving this to "Emulation and virtualization", seems more appropriate. The cloud-init images might be more useful for you.

https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/disks/#disks-encrypting Other than that, the installer can take care of encryption with geli for you. Install x11/nvidia-driver, which is the actual FreeBSD driver from NVidia. That's honestly a bit...

I just noticed on my system that I upgraded using pkgbase from 14.3 to 15.0 that the upgraded system shows up with fewer packages. I see two patterns: apart from logical differences between two OS releases it looks like that the upgrade process...

CoPilot Usage Metrics.... My graph would show zero.

I never tried this port. The errors look ugly. Since they are type errors there might have been more useful warnings at compile time.

I am trying to boot a FreeBSD VM on a remote Linux host, CLI only, no VNC/GUI or anything and I also don't want to go through the installation process. I tried to use a script like this...

I'll just answer the comment on wireless. I have an AX200 on a Beelink SER5 and it runs quite well, comparable to Linux speeds. Wireless is getting better and better, at present some cards only run at relatively slow speeds, but some, such as my...

The quality of the audio on the streams is horrible. Not a good look.

I have no screen controls whilst running Chrome under LXDE. Unable minimise. maximise or exit. Alt-tab is unresponsive. Chrome is running full screen and I have no access to LXDE's options. This has only recently happened. Things were working...

The AI LLM web scrapers are freeloaders that contribute nothing back. That is the issue. They only take, with the aim of making their investors rich, at the expense of everyone else. LLM's don't benefit me one iota. To hell with them.

Or an AI bot?

As a maintainer of hobby forums in other areas, I can assure you that this has *NOTHING* to do with zealotry of any kind. Bandwidth and compute do cost real money. AI bots don't respect robots.txt. The stuff I run for myself and a few small...

OP is just a troll, just ignore it.

Again, this isn't the place to discuss politics. Fights on a forum aren't going to change minds. I've gotten engaged in them too, so I'm at least a hyprocrite who knows of what they speak. But we come here for FreeBSD stuff, not politics. :)

Yes Poudriere Image with a big list of WITHOUT_'s or NanoBSD for building minimalist images. https://bsdrp.net/documentation/technical_docs/poudriere

It would have been nice if the links to the streams would have been made more visible. I had to dig around a fair amount to find them, (could be on me and I just missed them). Day one: View: https://www.youtube.com/live/UB4xpQ5ad0Q Day two...

Only if your FreeBSD ain't satisfactory set up right yet. 😁

Deleted a bunch of unrelated political banter. Might need to delete some more.

You could always try to boot a Linux liveusb and see if things work differently / better there ...

or to (eventually) be replaced with RISC-V, once that side gets their performance up.

This has to be the most disturbing thing I've heard today.

I have the same problem on my Raspberry Pi3. I was using a Realtek RTL8188EUS usb Wi-Fi, and the connection kept degrading every time under not very heavy loads. I couldn't figure out what the problem was... the driver, the configuration, or the...

End of life and not supported since July 2023. I suggest you go with 14.3 or try the soon to be finalized and released 15.0. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/topics-about-unsupported-freebsd-versions.40469/...

A thought, what if you dd the raw drive of the same model to a file? Theoretically, you could restore the drive by dd'ing it back. Also a comment on why you used such a big drive when the image would fit on something much smaller? Kinda like...

Being from Yorkshire myself, I find that hilarious. Many thanks for posting it.

I had a BBC micro and microvitec monitor at home with kermit in an eprom that was used as a terminal, and a very slow acoustic coupler (phone handset) dialup modem to talk to the univ. mainframe... I can still remember the dial-in tones. I can't...

Hi tingo, me too. But I am considering that. If i find a good buying option on that Oragne pi 6 plus I will really consider. Now I am looking for the ethernet chip to see if its compatible, and for firmware options (u-boot and edk2, so far...

There MAY be some weirdness having to do with the print-buffer, but I have not yet tracked that down. Still working on it... Ken Gordon

There is this nifty x11/xtermcontrol port that lets you send control sequences to manipulate xterm programmatically. I wrote a perl script to use it for changing the font size or face. You can map it to CTRL+KeypadPlus in vi or maybe even to a...

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...
