Merry Christmas to all of you and the FreeBSD Foundation 1. Ott - The Eternal Mrs R 2. Ace Ventura - Brave New World (MantisMash remix) 3. Klaada - Voyage into the supernatural (Unmixed version) 4. Cosmic Trigger feat. Raja Ram - SNAFU 5. Oscar...

Merry Christmas, and may there be peace and happiness for all.

The tricky part begins when you try coding with LLMs using bigger codebases and large context windows. I'll ask a friend to run tests on his.

Never said they were useless, just something that a bit of forum searching would give a good starting point. "There can be only one" :)

Don't think zfs-autobackup does any HTTP requests, so CVE-2025-13836 would never get hit. Even if it did, at most you would simply run out of memory. Annoying but not "dangerous". Unless you're running this on some important server, it might take...

... as to why that is the case: the X session attaches to the first unused virtual console, and since FreeBSD has eight active virtual consoles by default, that will be the ninth (check /etc/ttys).

A similar device also causes a kernel panic under 15.0-RELEASE, reported in Bug 291883 - iwlwifi crash Intel(R) Wi-Fi 7 BE200 320MHz CURRENT seems unaffected (for this particular device). DefensoEBO, perhaps you should join that bug report and...

Perhaps, but if two interrupts come in at the same time from the DCD pins on two different com ports, I'm not sure how accurate the timestamp will be

It's pretty easy: I did my config on fvwm2 before 3 was released. When I switched to 3 my 2er config did not produce the exact 100% same result on 3. There are some mismatches with my multihead setup, and some few other minor things. Not really a...

For all what?

Over the years I've gone more and more minimalist, so that may explain why I barely noticed the switch. That and maybe having a single-screen setup. As I understand it, there has been some work done related to multihead systems. Fair enough. For...

I tried this one: # ipfw add fwd 192.168.1.1 tcp from any to any 25 via em0 # ipfw show 00100 0 0 allow ip from any to any via lo0 00200 0 0 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 00300 0 0 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to...

Merry Christmas, and may there be peace and happiness for all.

What does fwget say?

Adeste Fideles, Trier 2020 I wish people would bethink more about what christmas really means. Sysadminotaur #125 I wish you have a peaceful time, not matter where you are, and whatever you believe, or not.

A simple CPU knows only how to add; he doesn't handle directly any subtract nor multiply, nor divide. All is done by adding. Just use two's complement. #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { int a = 10; int b = 2; int res = a +...

Probably not allowed due to copyrights on the ROMs. Builds fine here. Nope. But even if it did, the ports system would simply build it with GCC. Plenty of other stuff in the ports tree that does require GCC and fail miserably with LLVM. So...

For the past four years or so, yeah. x11-wm/fvwm3

Absolutely my first question. Does it have a GUI?

Do you care to elaborate?

The GPS Receivers are ublox LEA-M8T's with a pulse jitter of ±11 ns and accuracy of ≤ 20 ns https://www.u-blox.com/sites/default/files/products/documents/NEO-LEA-M8T_ProductSummary_(UBX-16000801).pdf I've read almost all the David Mills material...

Thank you! I had this two ideas about renaming either target or script files to .sh. I suspected that these are the only available solutions, but I just wanted to really make sure that what I've described in the post is not implementable :) So...

Subtract two numbers without using the subtract function (aka: minus, -). *** General 'code challenge' Rules (subject to change): 1. No external links. 2. Give Credit (e.g. "My submission, using Ricky's method.") 3. No attachments. 4. Open to...

make(1) is a very simple tool to manage targets. It is not made to support verbs like git(1), cmake(1) or any other modern tools do by separating the command, verb, and arguments. make(1) treats all arguments (modulo flags) as targets...

Ladybird is rapidly evolving and the FreeBSD port isn't catching up. It has no maintainer and hasn't been updated in more than a year. The former maintainer said this before throwing in the towel: This unfortunately doesn't bode well for the...

I was very interested in NetSurf... like a decade ago. It sounded promising for a while. But this isn't the late 90s/early 2000s with its text-wall websites and flashy gifs static content. Not supporting modern standards nowadays means a...

What exactly are you talking about? His former addiction? "Former" is the keyword here. If anything, it shows his resilience and strength of character. From what I've gleaned by listening to interviews with him and to his own content, he also...

It's looking for base OS libraries. So unless you used pkgbase it's not going to find a package that contains those libraries.

You probably want to add it to /etc/sysctl.conf, not /boot/loader.conf.

Hi! (I realize that the case I will describe is very uncommon or even weird.) I'm having trouble writing a makefile the only purpose of which is installing programs (not compiling or making them in any way). I have a dozen shell-scripts that I...

I sort of disagree with that. I think that when a system becomes popular, hardware and software vendors become more willing to put in extra work to support it. My memory may be off, but it seems to me that Ubuntu came out, began becoming...

Merry Christmas to all who observe.

;)

By it I mean: I wish you the best, fellow human, on your own terms. Do no harm; have fun!

If you are the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room.

Back before Cracked.com had complete platform decay (to use the nicer word (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification), and had some really good articles, one of their writers, David Wong, I think, did an article about how Christmas, as much...

Merry Christmas to all who observe.

XFCE

Look at the examples section of the man page maybe? It does the same kind of thing and doesn't drag npm into the system (ick).

Not yet. From what I am reading (YOU CAN) get it to work on Linux/Proton Wine with the following recipe: Recipe Here Once CMO does work - (apparently) the game was been coded to use a "Font" that is proprietary to Windows (aka the font itself...

Xkcd had a calculation about the bandwidth of a container ship loaded with containers full of micro-sd cards. Do not underestimate the sneaker network.

It's been tested. It works. No joke. :D https://blug.linux.no/rfc1149/writeup/

Do you remember the port lrzsz ?

So there are 3 lines in that BIOS screen: Serial Port Device Settings Change Settings Serial Port can be enabled or disabled - user selectable Device Settings is only an output - I cannot select/change anything there - and I do not know why it...

I've put up a page, which I hope gets the information in one place, at least for ZFS. Haven't tried on UFS. https://srobb.net/fbsd14_15.html. It includes getting the right keys.

After celebrating Festivus yesterday and having our airing of grievances around the aluminum pole, I sure hope my Christmas is merry.

Yeah, playing quake on that link really took the 🍰

Only people who think that "popular" is in any way important cares about that. Once you have learned about how to use FreeBSD in a way that is useful for you, it works for you - popularity isn't part of the equation.
