    Since I was the one who reported the problem, it was eventually resolved after some time, as the issue turned out to be related to my ISP.

    Cloudflare had a really useful test for this stuff, but sadly the service went down earlier this year, and I havent seen anything else that does the same thing.

    On my system with 8 cores + hyperthreading for 16 hardware threads Rust compiles with 14 parallel processes most of the time. The processes are staying within 1 GB each. Some processes multithread to about 500% CPU time. What CPU do you have?

    I remember those far-off days when you had to compile a port and wait two or three days. When it finally succeeded, I was unbelievably happy! 😄 that's an excellent point !

    I had two X220's (which I really liked) and one day one of them suddenly stopped working. It seems like there was a dodgy production run at some point.
  • tembun
    Oh, that's sad :( But do you mean the laptop itself or just the webcam?

    OK so the integrated WebCam is not showing at all in usbconfig. That is odd. Obviously it will never work that way. Webcamd gets its info via usb subsystem. No that is standard output for graphics card.

    XFCE4 was my first GUI but eventually I found LXDE (lxde-meta) which is much simpler. I mainly use a GUI to launch Chrome so don't need all the options which XFCE4 gave me, most of which I did not use or want.

    It makes me happy that I don't have to use Windows to make my computers serve me rather than Bill Gates. It also makes me happy that I don't need to learn 1000 flavours of Linux to give me that alternative.

    Hi all! I'm running FreeBSD 15-STABLE on ThinkPad X220. This laptop has an integrated webcam and it used to work fine and I used to set webcamd for it. But suddenly (today) it stopped working. /dev/video0 device is not created, therefore webcamd...

    Oops. That's quite embarassing for me :). That's what happens when you follow a guide without understanding what is going on. Many thanks for pointing this out, I have it working now.

    I would guess that your USB device is not em0, last time I checked Intel didn't produced USB cables :) You want to NAT on outgoing interface.

    MrBSD: this is exactly the attitude I mean. However, you get that from tools on many Linux forums that know much less than they think. 90% attitude, 10% knowledge. I rather prefer the friendly and supportive forums of FreeBSD or Artix. @Igrant...

    And maybe over-reliance to "we are bug proof my design" is at play here, also. Has anyone seen the amount of work it takes to build a good crypt library that does not provide an attack surface for timing attacks? You might be better off here with...

    Crivens replied to the thread Rust does not build anymore.
    Looks good, but then - Looks like the file system can not find the memory to page in something. It is best to avoid this complexity. If you are using ZFS, a vdev can be better used. And maybe you need to adjust the minfree sysctrl, so there is...
  • cracauer@
    I think that is an important point. Re-writing working things is risky, and it is what the Rust enthusiasts want to do (not that they have a choice if they want to use Rust).

    That's probably a red Herring. SIGPIPE is usually not caught for exiting. But if you run a program in gdb it will trigger the debugger on SIGPIPE. handle SIGPIPE nostop pass noprint

    cracauer@ reacted to Crivens's post in the thread Rust does not build anymore with Thanks Thanks.
    The question is how that was set up - was it file based or not? Because if you made a mistake there and it was not, then it is memory based - and swapping memory to memory when memory gets low ... does not work out.

    Use port forwarding mate. Same as your router. rdr with PF for example. The first command you showed explicitly tells ssh to proxy the connection. -J destination Connect to the target host by first making an ssh connection to...

    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...
