If you use Poudriere, it is best to create a make.conf file. For example, if you are creating ports for a Poudriere jail named--> amd64-15-stable Create a make.conf--> amd64-15-stable-make.conf I noticed yesterday ftp/curl failed to build...

It should be under the "Security" tab, there you can switch secure boot on or off. https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht509044-how-to-enable-secure-boot-on-think-branded-systems-thinkpad-thinkstation-thinkcentre

It's the difference between forwarding packets, and proxying them. The first command proxies the connection, the connection is made to the first host and a new connection is made to the second host. The first host acts as an intermediate. When...

The original chess game, that is supposed to be in /usr/games/chess, might be restored in future releases.

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.

Thats the same, thanks, so hasnt changed.

Indeed. It was resurrected by dummy0 as a fairly suspect and generic post. Oh well, at least this gives us a chance to turn this into another of our Rust vs C++ threads :)

Whenever said process keeps the log file open (filehandle). And it may not be SIGUSR1 (30), some processes require SIGHUP (1) (see signal). The documentation of the service in question should mention it. Valkey might be sending it's logs...

Thank you, That was very helpful! Makes it much easier where to start, when configuring log rotations for other daemons. MariaDB is next in line. Thanks again for the explanation, Much appreciated,

Generally it is best to use the C API rather than scraping data. Check out sysctl(3) for how this can be done via C. As opposed to sysctl(8) which is the userland program.

Oops - I see this should be in pf.conf and I'd added it to rc.conf.

Define NAT rules: Add the following lines to the file to configure NAT. Replace em0 with the name of your external network interface and 192.168.1.0/24 with the subnet of your local network: # Enable NAT nat on em0 from 192.168.1.0/24 to any ->...

Or you could use securelevels. The security(7) man page provides a brief description. You can google freebsd securelevel to find some howtos. Basically enable the immutable flag on any file/directory you might want protected. Set the securelevel...

No packages found. The system is currently running 14.0-RELEASE. I checked this also https://www.freshports.org/graphics/drm-510-kmod/

Just to confirm that drm-61-kmod works fine on my ThinkPad P14s with Alder Lake-P after deleting the xf86-video-intel driver. This is FreeBSD 14.1. No X configuration is required.

Also of note, with PRERELEASE 15.x changed to no longer default to a debug'n'checks kernel, as well as a no-debug malloc. If you want those features you have to turn them back on until 16-current is underway.

Well, you're mixing things. First of all, the Ctrl+C bug has nothing to do with KDE it's a pure sddm bug that is now partially address with the latest release in the ports (which now crashes for me when trying to move from the Wayland GUI to a...

Asking the obvious, did you try `make config`?

What guide did you follow? I must be searching for the wrong thing because I can't find anything on it.

How would we know to do this? I can't find any documentation on how to setup Wireguard on FreeBSD

I don't know of their current community, but for awhile, at least it seemed to consist of fans bordering on the "too much", and a bit nasty, especially if someone thought someone was overly complex. There was a guy who would nastily close threads...

For many years I mostly know Arch through their excellent Wiki.

Do you mean that with 6.5.x windows get restored in their original positions, in the respective monitors in a multi monitor setup? That would be news indeed.

Wow, that's impressive. Very nice indeed.

Afaik session saving doesn't work in wayland yet because of protocol implementation. At least this is what happens with kde.

I recently rediscovered an old Z83 Mini Computer and was surprised that I had somehow managed to install FreeBSD onto it. Now I'd like to see if I can find a video driver for it, although not entirely sure what to look for... Running pciconf -lv...

Just to break things down into small manageable without the possibility of screwing things up through too many options, my first goal is to be able to ping 8.8.8.8 from anywhere on my LAN, where all the hosts have static IP addresses, at least...

From a technical perspective I still recommend rsync's built-in TCP serve mode.

As part of this can we reimagine email as just plain text with attachments?

It is always best to work on something that is interesting to yourself. For ports that roughly translates to "a port I am using is unmaintained, maybe I could maintain it?". If you want to tackle a slightly bigger hurdle, there is always the...

I think I have the anwser

You need FreeBSD, plus the following things from ports / packages - a DHCP server - a firewall -a NAT "thing" (if not built into the firewall) configure will be command-line and (text) file based There are a few "nice to have" things as well: - a...

Just like in any other place where a variable name is immediately followed by some other text. Just wanted to clarify (that this is not heredoc specific).

Hi, When is it necessary to send signal 30 to a pid with newsyslog? Is there a way to figure out when it's needed? What's the difference between these two for example? /var/log/valkey/valkey.log 640 14 * $D04 J /var/log/fail2ban.log 640 14 *...

Yes, but as it's an automatically-generated file, how do I change it? I presume these are the default options, specified somewhere else and written in this file as part of the build.

You have 3 UNSET options in there.
