Nothing against Arch Linux, but I am not a fan of their "community" or systemd. Both issues are resolved for me by using Artix Linux instead (most of my systems are FreeBSD anyhow) - much friendlier and more helpful community and a choice of sane...

Very useless thread, except to expand my Ignore List. Can we please close here? Nothing productive will come out of this.

Unless he disagrees with it, then he's not so pro free speech any more.

I see. I disagree with you, but these forums aren't the place for such discussions. And I'll stop there.

It seens this is not a case of OOM, but if it is, and it is only one job, that sheds a flickering light on rust and the ecosystem around it...

https://www.theregister.com/2025/11/07/unix_fourth_edition_tape_rediscovered/?td=rt-3a The University of Utah had a tape labeled as a complete copy of UNIX V4 (which was lost media until now). Hopefully the CHM can manage to dump it.

You can check in top(1) to see whether parallel jobs are running. OP,, how much RAM do you have? I would fine it strange to OOM with 1 parallel build job.

cracauer@ That might be it, but I was under the impression that this already was single threaded. Maybe not.

So it isn't just network you need advice for, you don't have a disk solution yet either? FWIW you would have a hard time wearing out proper datacenter SSDs.

It is probably overall faster to reduce parallelism during the Rust build than running it with heavy paging. Depends on how much time is spent in the overflowing periods of course. I am unsure how to control the parallelism on the Rust build...

totally agree, why make traffic that could remain in the internal network, go through the firewall ? You can also tighten security that way, keep admin urls to within the local network only for example.

That's all that's important. Only put the url entry in there. All others will come from the default /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf. There's no need to copy those too.

Combo, reduces load on the USB

To be honest I've never configured NAT, I'll give it a go after reading this FreeBSD guide. After looking through https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/advanced-networking/ again, I see no mention of NAT, which seems like a major omission...

rsync using rsync's own TCP service. rsync over ssh will be limited by ssh's speed.

Yes. Anything with a full kernel will read that pool.

Its usually only 2 things you need to make a system with working internet connection a router: 1. forwarding needs to be enabled (gateway_enable / net.inet.ip.forwarding) 2. NAT 1 makes sure the system forwards traffic according to its routing...

It comes preinstalled. It supports everything that Firefox does. Librewolf is just less shitty version of Firefox.

Use Librewolf. The setting you shared is set to false by default and all Firefox hardening is applied out of the box.

I would suggest to remove the swap file. Also, swap does not need to be that fast. Idle memory is swapped out, and in later. The file system usually sees more traffic. Heck, back in the days, we had systems which had swap over network. And it...

You might get away with using an USB stick for this. File handling needs memory itself, so swapping to files can run into out of memory itself while trying to swap out memory to free memory. I had a swap file for some time, and I ran into trouble...

Are you seriously swapping on a 'md' device? How is it set up?

As kpedersen mentioned above, those chipsets work out of the box with FreeBSD. Personally I have dealt with FTDI and Prolfic. E.g. this one is based on PL2303 (Prolific). "RS-232" should be in the title, not just "Serial" or "UART", and no TTL or...

Many thanks, I'll order one of these.

One thing to check is if you need 3.3v or 5v. Usually it is the former. You generally have 3 popular chips: Prolific FTDI ch340 I use these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/AYMBH-Converter-PL2303HX-Supports-Compatible-Black/dp/B0DKWWS7GM...

Hi guys, I am curious if anyone can help to explain the dscrepancies of sysctl output of cpu frequency whenever I tried to run the sysctl -a |grep freq vs sysctl -a dev.cpu.$d.freq. I could not find any related info from the driver man page or...

How can I tell which ones would work? (Using FreeBSD)

See point 2: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/topics-about-unsupported-freebsd-versions.40469/ However, 15 is now STABLE and is therefore discussing it is within the rules of the forum.

Are you sure about this? AFAIK only -CURRENT is considered OT here and I never mentioned it in my post.

It turns out the magic feature here is called labelsize. I also colored Shutdown in a RED. Fl_Button *b5 = new Fl_Button(40,585, 430, 130, "Shutdown"); b5->labelsize(30); b5->labelcolor(fl_rgb_color(162, 60, 20)); b5->callback(b5cb,0);

Oh heck I cant resist. Its like baby pictures. My first GUI. Yet unnamed.

According to their wiki the serial port is real RS-232, which means that usual 5V and 3.3V TTL USB adapters may not work.

My only Internet access at the moment is via my phone. I connect a cable between my phone and laptop, switch on USB tethering, and after some msg about URNDIS I run dhclient ue0. This provides Internet access on the system which I am...

I've taken the path of least resistance and installed Roon Server in a bhyve VM running Debian. Given that there's an ongoing, 10-year-old thread (🎂) on the Roon Community forums asking for native FreeBSD support, I don't think you're going to...

worse, he invented javascript.

Actually it was in the process of trying to install OpenWrt on this router, a Teltonika RUT 955, that I bricked it. The device reported that it was running OpenWrt and I did install the latest (Teltonika version) of OpenWrt via the GUI, then on...

unrelated, we think it's hilarious that there's still slots in the details for AIM handles

Gnome 3 isn't really a shell. It is a massive collection of libraries, programs and general clutter. But I think the DE wars fizzled out about a decade ago. Perhaps people realised that all DEs have stagnated in terms of innovation and what...

It's been added. I also like to stress it's not required to be filled in, it's entirely optional.

There are a number of recovery methods depending on the Make/Model of your router. A good resource is the OpenWRT project: General OpenWRT user guide Specific OpenWRT Recovery Methods
