I'm into puzzle games, there are many in the ports collection that are excellent. When I was young i was more into shoot'em up but they was 30+ years ago, Doom - Doom2 - Duke Nukem 3D era.

Do you have users or are you the only user?

I have read a number of posts about such a problem and tried the recommended solutions that I haven't found one that works. I am running FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p2 which maybe part of the problem but am unable to update it. root@EMTEC:~ # pkg...

You can easily restrict the use of an application to one user by simple file permissions. But that doesn't prevent other users from downloading the same application and run it from their homedir. Or are you talking about setuid programs?

Do you have any idea how much of a problem this is going to cause? Anyway, good luck with that. https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/mac/

Probably. I have s3 on fast pool and slow pool is used by surveillance program. I don't want to say, that find consumes all CPU resources, but other daemons consumes more CPU resources when find is active. It is a pure speculation, but in NUMA...

Look in /var/log/auth.log.

I moved my main private email hosting out of Google many years ago. Then with my own mail server I faced a similar problem, but with Microsoft sending my messages to spam. They used to have automated means to rectify that, but after a week or two...

One day is too much, and I am waiting since more than a month for at least an answer. I regret that I am using Gmail for my private Emails, it is difficult to change because a lot of people have my address. Despicable!

I'm seeing these messages again. Anyone aware the cause?

As you have discovered, the periodic activities can absolutely hammer a server walking file systems with lots of files, especially if directories are large. In addition to what you have already identified, I suggest you also look at 310.locate.

Doesn't ring a bell. If you can you should run a non-background debug printing sshd on the server. It will print the rejection reason.

There are lots of other types of games, puzzle-solving games for example. World-building games, management games, the list goes on and on.

Can I not update from 13.2 to 13.5 which is supported up until April 30, 2026?

I read the Makefile yesterday and it says that it sets the location for temporary compilation files to workdir, away from $TMPDIR. Apparently you are not the first one to have encountered this, but it should no longer apply. # rustc stashes...

This call at the start solves the problem: signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN); The prospect doesn't look as gloomy as it did yesterday. Thank you.

Flightsims would like a word for starters?

Has anyone tried FreeBSD on a Raspberry Pi 5 16GB recently? The wiki isn't very clear on the issue of that works or not https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/Raspberry%20Pi%205

A number of people here are into shoot 'em up computer games. I am not. When I see videos of people playing computer games it seems they are all the same. You get placed into a battle zone of some kind, you run around trying to find bad guys, you...

Can I not update from 13.2 to 13.5 which is supported up until April 30, 2026?

I have experimented a bit with arm64 laptops (Samsung Snapdragon, Mac M2), but they do not work for FreeBSD yet. ("Do not work" -> I haven't managed to install FreeBSD on them). And from what I read on these forums and elsewhere, Raspberry Pi 5...

**sigh**

In my context: "work" means I can install, run and upgrade FreeBSD on it (command line is fine, desktop not needed). The goal is to explore working with FreeBSD ports and other areas of interest on arm64.

tingo, in my case it's some quite old Rock64-s. Everything that I need works. Haven't tried newer / shiny hardware yet.

As I mentioned in my original post, I have running freebsd-update. Here's why:- I'm trying to upgrade from 13.2 to 14.3 and have no idea why I get this.

The GNOME/Gtk section might be particularly overloaded. Unthankful job.

This got the job done for me

Tangent: interested parties wants to know which small arm64 systems work with FreeBSD.

FreeBSD *always* has a shortage of hands to do all the work needed, especially for ports.

Hmmm, a find(1) shoudln't lead to 100% CPU unless you have exceptionally fast storage and slow CPU. Maybe you have very large directories (many files in one directory)?

I still have these days when I compile www/ungoogled-chromium 😄

Yeah, I also tried different settings, but it didn’t make any difference. Back then, I thought the problem was with my adapter — I had bought a very cheap USB adapter without an antenna. But now it seems to me that the issue might be with the driver.

We also transfer a huge number of video files. The files vary in size — from very large to very small ones. It seems to me that your question lacks some details. For example, what hardware are you using? But to answer and share some of our...

Actually, quite the opposite. Greybeards definitely remember how outdated freebsd-update script screwed entire base on upgrade some time ago. I always upgrade system to the latest patchlevel since then.

I've identified that the issue is triggered by chksetuid periodic script. It uses find to scan all files in all datasets. It is a lengthy processes itself and while it is active, everything becomes slow. For example, database/opensearch using 0.2...

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

Fetching metadata signature for 14.3-RELEASE from dualstack.aws.update.freebsd.org... failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up. This may be because upgrading from this platform (amd64) or release (14.3-RELEASE) is unsupported by freebsd-update...

I hate running freebsd-update because things have not worked properly in the past, but I guess I need to get my systems upto date. Can someone just clarify that upgraing 13.2 -> 14.3 involves these steps:? I'm not sure is freebsd-update...

MrBSD, I doubt anyone will kill you for that. :) I think we all dislike help vampires (probably a link to a post on are you a help vampire on the Arch Forums.) I mean the attitude (again, I haven't frequented those forums in a long time), of...

In fact, I also love the overall hierarchy so to speak: I love the separation into /usr and /usr/local, the entire separation into base and third-party, the easily configurable files under /etc. You know, it's just really well-designed and it...

Having Laptop that has everything working with FreeBSD makes me want to post this. XDM (got fed up with stock look. Slim seams to have some bug in combination with x11-wm/fvwm3): www/qutebrowser: and finaly empty Viartual desk of...

Principle of least surprise is what it does for me. I have primary things to do. Surprises in OSes are not to my liking.

Can webmin take care of basic network server/router point and click configuration on FreeBSD?

Well, the default signal handler for SIGPIPE will exit, and silently so. You can install your own which doesn't exit, or prints a message or whatever you want.

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

In that case, my point is entirely moot to this thread, I apologise. I will edit the post, so there is at least less pollution.
