You don't need necessarily a Linux installation, a dedicated partition for only Grub is sufficiant, I've done it before. Web search "Grub on dedicated partition". EDIT: You can fast check Grub without installing, using "Super Grub Disk"...

a) Don't run it as root. The whole point of miniconda/conda is so you can easily install python modules as a user. b) it's miniconda-installer. Conda, like pip and CRAN, is a popular system that allows non-root users to install many binary...

The Hans Reiser lesson?

Fixed that for you.

cracauer@ you did omit this for purpose, which is not ok and is not fun: First: Every product we build must give people agency in how it works. Privacy, data use, and AI must be clear and understandable. Controls must be simple. AI should...

I dunno. I have a strict rule to not use software made by madmen. It never leads anywhere good, even if the initial direction looked promising.

libm.so in FreeBSD is a symlink to libm.so.5 - libm.so.6 is provided by the Linux compatibility layer AFAIK. [17:05][fmc000@dabrafenib ~]$ file /usr/lib/libm.so /usr/lib/libm.so: symbolic link to ../../lib/libm.so.5 [17:05][fmc000@dabrafenib...

Yeah, my bad. Still a whole lot more work than the simple flavorized approach baaz implemented, and still way more friction to someone that just wants to try out Xlibre without spending a bunch of time on it.

Have you read the whole post? I've written "and create wrapper port to choose proper one", means, everything currently provided by both needs kinda wrapper keeping each filenames should be created by the wrapper port as symlink to whichever...

Or just use vanilla FreeBSD and configure carp + pfsync *A LOT* faster than over some clunky GUI. And still: putting the actual firewall/gateway into a jail gives even more isolation (and flexibility) than bare-metal. I've been running this for...

Fixed that for you.

You refuse to answer the most basic question here: why use a hypervisor on top of a single node to run a single instance of OPNSense? All that does, is introduce a pile of unnecessary complexity to your stack. It adds moving parts (like your...

It looks like it's all about xsane. Both uiscan and xsane call xsane's probe. Checking the messages it shows: Dec 17 10:27:33 deborah-ghostbsd xsane[3156]: common/utils.c 245: unable to load library libm.so: Shared object "libm.so" not found...

I just checked it out and it only contains binary zeroes.

Not sure what you're getting at here. LOGIN & STARTTLS achieve different things. STARTTLS is advertised by servers that support TLS connections and I would expect dma to spot this and use TLS if possible by default as SMTP over TLS is pretty much...

If you don't use Windows, you can safely remove it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Reserved_Partition

I've just bought a new 4TB SSD and when running gpart show for the first time I see a a single 16M partition identified as ms-reserved. Can I delete this without causing any problems? It seems I can't mount this, but just out of interest can I...

I'm hoping to install a new disk in my ThinkPad W520 and was wondering whether to expect the same performance when installing the disk in an Ultrabay as opposed to installing it in the body of the machine. Any opinions?

Things that aren't opt-in aren't optional. You can't have Chromium without Google, just like you can't have "an Android" without Google. Pulling the plug to Google's servers will not undo Google's influences. GNU IceCat? True. There are...

We need a totally new approach. We need to kill the entire web stack because this is getting absurd. All this build atop of protocol used for fixed document transfer and display? It needs to die so a optimal solution can be realized. However I...

It's time for me to finally turn my back on Firefox, and Thunderbird. I used them both for over twenty years exclusively, but they piss me for almost ten years, because they go only and more and more downhill with every new version. Mutt is on...

To be fair, an mp3 at reasonable bitrate does a lot less damage to the sound than -say- a 1980s tape cassette deck. Standards for media are higher now. Sadly, transducers (loudspeakers) are not clearly better now.

This is what is behind that link. Be cautious with 3rd party packages.

Terrible "development", because Web-Developers do not leave other alternative than chrome and firefox.

I know it when I see it :)

Quite nice, actually. I have two of those and both are rather quick with whatever task they get.

Why don't those who wait for Ladybird just help NetSurf out for the time being? It's already there, it's mature, it does not have any known madmen in its team - and it is much more portable than Ladybird.

Unlike Windows, the current working directory is never part of the PATH on UNIX(-like) systems. And I suggest using sysutils/linux-miniconda-installer instead.

Thanks. After another try, this time, reinstalling bhyve-firmware, it's been working again, this time with the switch, and sign of improvement, I'm able to destroy and recreate the switch. But I'm definitely keeping your config on file for...

I will just copy my config here so you can adapt it and try it in your environment: rc.conf: /data/vms/.config/system.conf: /data/vms/debian/debian.conf: and in sysctl.conf:
