What marketers are currently calling AI is really just a group of algorithms dealing with clever processing of text. Since software is generally written with text, it makes sense for these algorithms to be relevant in this area. To...

It is impossible to enforce a complete ban on AI generated code (or any text).

insufficient! we should be doing the handoff on skateboard in the middle of the night, like in Hackers

I'm going to take the time to recommend another Mike Lucas book. A relatively short (and relatively inexpensive one) on ZFS. Though it's a bit old now, the information, IMO, is still valuable. It answers some basic ZFS questions...

cracauer@ my thanks is because that made me laugh, early in the morning. (I might not have laughed were I more awake, but as it is, I found it funny).

The right tool in the right hands makes all the difference. The OP seems to think that slapping together some code will get pushed in the source tree willy-nilly. Sloppy/bad code won't be accepted, doesn't matter if it's written by AI or an...

That's what they want you to think!

We enabled Anubis on various @FreeBSD.org servers because the number of hits we were getting from the scrapers brought the response times to a near halt. That's it.

I have no idea, I am a tcsh user and never used something else, but looking at the sources, it looks like a plugin that should be copied to some directory used by bash/zsh to load extended functionality (/usr/local/share/something). A bash/zsh...

You think installing FreeBSD on one of those devices would be plug and play? How do you expect "installing" FreeBSD on an embedded device would work?

It won't suddenly do this on its own, the default language is English. So it's something you've set somewhere. What does locale output? https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/l10n/

Actually, I didn't know about two-finger scroll and wasn't sure how to do it, but with a little practice it does work. That is, in LXDE.

Can you do two-finger scroll on this touchpad? I have an old Dell laptop and while touchpad works in base mode I could not get more complicated gestures. I tried both synaptics and libinput with XFCE

It is difficult to get specs for the chips. Some of the chip developers write Linux drivers but do not provide specs to write drivers from scratch.

Original article here. Consider this when replying. The second release candidate build for the FreeBSD 15.0 release cycle is now available. ISO images for the amd64, armv7, aarch64, powerpc64, powerpc64le, and riscv64 architectures are FreeBSD...

Recently Claude AI helped me a lot to backport a driver from Linux 5.x to 4.x. It saved significant amount of time. I still had to adjust a few things though. I'm not a big fan of AI/LLM, but there are cases it can really help.

That's what they want you to think!

dang, you're getting that pirated 0day freebsd? hook us up!

Yeah but to attract people you have to give them something fun to do. Rust is apparently less fun than C. I don't think how increasing the amount of Rust code in a project gets in more volunteer developers.

Yes and no. You can not use it simultaneously from two machines (not even two VMs). You can export it and import it from a different machine. If the two machines are different OSes, or different OS versions, you need to make sure you only...

You will quickly find that your Reddit-like insult responses, especially on only your second and third posts, won't be welcome here.

I started Linux Distro OS hopping since I was in UNI time. Working in IT industry for more than a decades, I have mainly stuck to Redhat for commercial works and Fedora for my personal workstations. Probably I am getting older, Linux feels like...

When I have to connect to a UART debug interface and cu is installed by default :-). But really the whole community and attitude. Much more sane than Linux.

I've git cloned it but have no idea what source redo/redo is supposed to do. How am I supposed to lanch it?

Is what you're looking for something similar? It is for bash and zsh, I never used it, my shell is different. https://github.com/joknarf/redo

I am currently on linux, which has officially opened the floodgates for vibe-coding, that is, coding with AI and using AI for bug fixes, and sure they have to specify it, but like with the crowd that forked GZDoom to UZDoom; once it's in the...

Yeah, totally doable. Easiest options: Use history piped into a pager: history | less Boom — scrollable history. Searchable history with Ctrl-R: lets you jump back fast, way better than UP/DOWN. fzf integration: HISTFILE=~/.bash_history bind...

I can hardly wait till USB cables have AI built in!

Of all the reasons to pick an operating system, a political one is among the weakest. Why do you worry so much about AI? You mention the AI bubble (which is real, and a bubble). But you have to remember that BSD is older than the internet, and...

How would that suddenly make the game slow on a machine? If that was the reason, the game would always have been slow on that machine, yes? To avoid misunderstanding: the game was working normally on the core2 machine, then suddenly it became...

I now have a ZFS installation which boots. Can I mount the ZFS partition from a different machine?

According your ps aux RSS the top two memory processes are: librewolf 2 814.82 MB (web browser) baloo 1 334.48 MB (search index) I think you should look into baloo_file indexing. https://community.kde.org/Baloo/Configuration

Besides ZFS, what else is running on that system?

You have to realize that all teh files already in your system, including all the system files that make up an "installation," exist already on a given file system. Changing the file system in situ would probably mean creating zfs partitions...

If you had been using it for 30 years, you'd be starting to get the hang of it ;)

IF FreeBSD will go no-ai then I may actually switch to this OS.

Of course you want the language with the most compile-time checking for LLM generated code. We covered that.

fygar256 let me second that. I was just making a silly play on words, a 駄洒落

That's where Golang came in. Google was Python on the SRE side and partially C++ on the SWE side. Golang was intended at Google as a replacement for C++. The C++ folks wouldn't have any of that. But the Python crowd jumped on Golang big time...

Hi thanks for your answer, I already did provide the output asked previously, you have to extend the quotations the see that output.

LLM will generate test cases with the code if you ask them to. But good luck making them troll the edge cases. Or for that matter, good luck making human QA cover the edge cases.

One way to debug this is x11/xvinfo. It tells you whether you have acceleration for video in an x11 server. You should post the output here.

Heh, no. scottro and I were joking. No actual offense taken ;)

The think is, you can fix these errors in a higher level much easier than in the lower ones. Once upon a time, C compilers wrote out assembler code files. The assembler proviedes no error or type checking, but when that is done on the upper...
