I have installed webmin and it is enabled and running. What do I need to do to login? When attempting to connect to https://192.168.1.1:1000/ I get Nmap shows: Starting Nmap 7.94 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2025-11-14 15:06 UTC 2 16:28│ Nmap...

As trivial as it may sound, is there a way to list all periodic enabled tasks for a group (e.g., daily) without having to parse/grep and merge configuration files?

You are mixing things here ZioMario. bhyve ≠ vmm. If somebody created code in qemu that can leverage vmm and have full support of FreeBSD dev team, that would be awesome. But since all hands are focused on inhouse product of bhyve I would not...

According to https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/cutting-edge/ the last stage freebsd-update install process after a reboot is to run freebsd-update install, when I do this I'm told this stays on the screen, nothing else happens, even...

If you think all shoot-em-up games are the same try to use Half-Live's MP5 the same way as Call Of Duty's MP44 and see how far you make it :) One you turn a lupe on it more differences become clear.

Well, sort of. I don't agree with the blanket statement that all games are the same. But I will agree there's not much change in the types of games. It's very rare nowadays for an entirely new type of game to come out. It's mostly variations of...

This step is certainly recommended due to a couple of bugs in freebsd-update that got fixed with 13.2-RELEASE-p4 and 13.2-RELEASE-p5. I see no reason for this step. There is a bug in freebsd-update that was fixed with 13.5-RELEASE-p5 but it...

Many thanks for pointing these things out. It turned out to be a resolution problem, as well as not understanding the messages I was getting. Also I wasn't aware of the update process. I thought you could jump from 13.2 straight to 14.3, but it...

How many jails do you run concurrently? Imagine every jail kicking off the periodic scripts at the exact same time. Typically at 3:00am, the host and all your jails are going to run the scripts at once. If you have enough jails even the biggest...

Enfin! It works!!! ssh -p 40033 (local comp user name)@server_ip Port 40033 is port forwarded on rinetd.conf

Can be an overkill, if you only want to visualize CPU utilization. But net-mgmt/telegraf contains a lot of probes https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs, you can collect almost everything server runs. databases/influxdb...

Yep. But I was too impatient. I used to play the game with the little traced triangle shaped ship on a green CRT that would shoot dot missiles at other enemy ships. It was on a medical computer but can't remember the name of the game. It wasn't a...

Instead of needlessly spending man-hours on adopting new languages I would suggest that FreeBSD developers finally do some serious and organized work on kernel hardware support so that we are not forced to use Linux because of the weakness of our...

I know this post is old, but since its first hit on google asking for opi5-max support I wanted to quick share my experience. By using edk2 port for Orange Pi 5 Max FreeBSD boots up, including HDMI console, Serial Console. M.2 detected with...

It is slow moving. I might've stayed up all night waiting for things to happen the first time I played it. Maybe.

the question has the same energy as asking gay couples "which one of you is the wife" to us

This made me laugh way too hard, that is beautiful. To give my own take, the problem with the question is that Arch fills a need in Linux (or doesn't) that doesn't exist in the BSD forks. With Linux it seems to be either an overloaded...

That was between 1995 and 2000.

This thread reminds me of one of my customers about 40 years ago. They had a new DEC system (I cannot recall the model) running Tru64 UNIX. It was to be used as a web server at the time.They assigned the machine to a new webmaster. She was new on...

That would be my suggestion as well: security/sudo, security/doas, security/opendoas (opendoas may be a better choice, it has the "persist" option available: doas.conf). Do these tools not meet your requirements? Grant specific users...

It's there an open bug for this? I couldn't find any and it's a shame that an issues like this that already has a possible working solution is not properly tracked. Edit: sorry, I just noticed that you're the author and committer of the patch...

Thank you, marking this as solved.

Nothing, if you have correctly set up your local build server, I presume using poudriere, your packages always match your kernel and other relevant libraries. The 'kmods' repository was introduced during the run of 14.2-RELEASE on a somewhat...

He's using ports-mgmt/synth. But the same thing applies.

You could port some of Linux' capabilities framework to FreeBSD. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/capabilities.7.html That allows you to break out of that old Unix framework and do what you want. With a lot of work.

I have spent all day trying to update a few systems from various versions and my eyes are glazing over. Is there anything in particular I should look out for? All the systems are in one room. It could be that some cables are of an inferior...

I prefer the Infocom (zork) games.

I was never in the shoot'em games but I have all the time on games/rocksndiamonds

I almost feel that's contradictory, but ironically I only found my flow disrupted on Firefox when they decided to implement that non-integrated AI summary thing :p

It's fun to build useful things.

Classic! Am I the only one who played SimEarth?

I just found the printed manual for a 1990s copy of SimCity. Went into paper recycling. Remember the 550-point adventure? Skill at making maps, being very systematic, and learning how to distinguish all the rooms in the "maze of little passages...

FWIW (it was not the NIC) and maybe useful for another person running into similar performance issues. The ISP sold the server as 1 gbit unmetered etc, turns out it was 300 mbit capped. And BBR did not like the way they do traffic shaping...

No I haven't, sorry.

You forget city building games or simulators like trains, trucks, farming.

The civilian flightsims are an exception such as Microsoft's Flight Stimulator. DCS on the other hand has you bomb things or dogfight other players.

Well I have been playing with FLUID. It seems the code is different.. // generated by Fast Light User Interface Designer (fluid) version 1.0310 #include "textbox.h" Fl_Double_Window* make_window() { Fl_Double_Window* w; { Fl_Double_Window*...

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

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

Of course that blog doesn't allow comments.

I think SirDice gets what I'm talking about.

What you are describing is not a shmup. These are arena shooters Are all arena shooters similar, or are all platformers similar? Yes, that's basically the point of the characterization, you look for commonality and group them by their common...

But they are. They just go about it in slightly or mostly different ways but they can all do the same thing the same way if their coded for it. Yes but each game is different with different goals, methods and tools. But that has nothing to do...

Of course that blog doesn't allow comments.

Recently updated to 14.3 with Firefox 144, and noticed a new pull down menu on selected text. It offered to send the text to an AI chatbot. To disable, goto about:config and search for browser.ml.chat.enabled, and change it to false. May be...

I'm gonna flail off way into the weeds now. Is The Edge of Tomorrow a film representation of a Rogue-like?

I thought he was describing Battle Royale games. They are quite popular since Fortnite. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_royale_game#Mainstream_popularity_(2018%E2%80%93present) There are a lot of those around at the moment that are very...

Well, now it depends on your definition of shoot-em-up games. If you make it narrow enough you will of course see more similarities. If you are actually playing the differences are obvious. Just the specific weapons are one.
