FreeBSD's strength lies in being what you want it to be. And indeed, support for more hardware leads directly to increased power. Bright days ahead!

In the professional audio community NVidia graphics cards are known to cause latencies large enough to disrupt sound, in some cases. I would be curious to learn whether the onboard sound on the NVidia card itself (the HDMI/displayport one) is...

It's hacker to play Windows games on FreeBSD in such integrated fashion :cool: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlx8DyYKkkg

You are an idiot. You posted in the howto section, you moron. I apologize.

Speaking of beer and coffee and continents: I have "found" more places where both are served at the same temperature in the US. Some places aren't neat enough.

BSDCan conference in Oddawha. ELS 2026 (Lisp conference in Krakow). Wacken Open Air \m/. Spain road trip with a group for the solar eclipse. So far so good :)

I use Tcl (often with Expect) when I get to choose. I also like Perl. Python's not my cup of tea. I studied it for over one hundred hours back in 2017; I found it ever more insufferable the further I went. But it's hard to avoid by those with...

That's not my recollection other than in couple of very specific spots. That's looking back to Fortran 77 anyhow.

How do people mark text in a file in doom emacs in text mode and the get it into the system clipboard? Is it possible to yank stuff into the system clipboard? Sometimes I can manage to use Shift + LMB but it often doesn't work. Do I need to...

php is another superfluous language. With perl and Tcl there were enough choices. Perhaps Ruby as 100% object oriented is more an alternative than python.

Even while Perl was not my first choice for a beginners language neither, I find it way better than its reputation. In my eyes Perl is bad-mouthed, was simply dumped for no real reason, but maybe because of arrogance or ignorance by those who...

As somebody who was away for a few years and has come back, I'm not seeing any major issues. Apart from the fact that the system that I didn't buy with FreeBSD in mind needs a different wifi card to work, if I want to do that and that 15.0...

I don't have this problem, if that's any help. I guess check which packages are on the work laptop relating to pdfs (and maybe cups or whatever you use to print) and see if they're all on the home laptop. Also, the obvious, make sure that they're...

I guess the reason the ISO file won't apply the BIOS update is because of the settings in the img file and that I need to autoexec.bat, config.sys and/or cd-drv.bat.

Try Belgian trappist. Those monks knew how to do it only.

And for that reason alone, apart from anything else, I could never take python seriously in an industrial development or production environment. Guido had an idea that eliminating the block start/end keywords from the language would make python...

I was kinda hoping that it would work on all BSD variants as I'm trying to find out if it ought to work on FreeBSD v1.0

We can fix that by turning this into a decent flamewar, you...

You'll be surprised that it tends to just work on all BSD variants. Stuff that breaks: PROG & PROGS with multiple targets. To enable warnings I set both `WARNINGS= yes` and `WARNS= 3`

I know the commands were simple to follow and I tried a hundred times and it did not work!

fsck_msdosfs /dev/md0 And now it works! Thanks very much covacat

fsck_msdosfs /dev/md0 and let it fix it then mount will work # ls -1 /mnt/ AUTOEXEC.BAT CD-DRV.BAT COMMAND.COM CONFIG.SYS HIMEM.SYS IBMBIO.COM IBMDOS.COM IBMTPCD.SYS MSCDEX.EXE QCD-DRV.COM

ls -l /dev/md0*

I set-up and updated my Dota 2 and localhost WoW and Runescape notes; I'm ready :cool: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaE_loHeIUU

Do ls -l /dev/md0* and see if any partitions (BSD partitons, noe GEOM partitions) show up?

You don't need to touch /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf. This is a route issue. When wlan0 is created, up and connected to the wifi access point, the default gateway is set to the wifi access point (here 192.168.43.1), e.g.: % ifconfig wlan0 wlan0...

Maturin Coincidentally, I'm reading "The Sweet Life in Paris" by David Lebovitz. He has a chapter--and general running commentary--about coffee in France. The book came out in 2009 so the comments may be dated.

Does bsd.prog.mk get changed from release to release of FreeBSD?

file -s Boot-1.44M.img:- mdconfig Boot-1.44M.img:- file -s /dev/md0:- mount -t msdosfs /dev/md0 /media Anyone care to comment on what I've done wrong?

if you did not find out yet, there is an explanation in the handbook: Here are examples showing jails in action for each different case, good job from this guy BTW: https://etherealwake.com/2021/08/freebsd-jail-networking

Within your examples, GhostBSD alone is different. If I understand correctly, it is basically FreeBSD, with original installer that installs GUI components via bundled pkgs, some original and additional ports, and possibly some modified default...

Speaking of Arch: how does Arch avoid the problem we have with occasional build fallout and some packages becoming temporarily unavailable due to dependency breakage. I understand how Debian does it, but Arch seems to do what FreeBSD does, but...

I didn't find another good way. Would be happy to learn one.

I owned five Subway shops for 33 years. Opened the fifth one in the state of Missouri. It's always on your mind. For most of that, I had competent staff so I didn't have to be there all the time. Then we caught one stealing and I took over...

It's not 24/7 in the restaurant. Every very early morning you go to the market to buy ingredients. Every fucking morning. Would drive me nuatz.

Muscle memory is a powerful thing, and muscle memory in the hands for computer use is no exception. That is one reason why 30 years of Emacs use and customization can make you very effective. Same for vi I assume. The Unix commandline as well...

My stuff might cross into intellectual property, so it's more fun to just share it freely :p I mainly started hosting public notes to show I knew how to host WoW servers :cool: (most back then were doing it sketchy and insecure)

Neal Gompa is a nice fellow and the replies are clear: KDE will continue working on FreeBSD.

What a fuss for nothing. KDE Plasma ecosystem already has several incompatible applications. Also don't conflate using "user friendly" thus bloated desktop with the skill level. There are a lot of professionals that use FreeBSD/KDE. Plasma for...

Heh, I can't come up with a name for how I write game server notes :cool: Like for a WoW server; when others provide a pre-compiled binary it's usually referred to a "repack". I wasn't a fan of repacks like that (usually no source/detailed...

BSD is different to me like Windows, macOS, and Linux: Windows has editions macOS has numbers and names Linux (I suppose interjecting the main kernel part :p) has distributions shipping that kernel to users FreeBSD is FreeBSD No mainstream BSD...

Have to agree with the "money rules" comment. There are a lot of things I think I'd like to try and make for fun but the thought always crosses my mind, "How can I make money from this?" Or I won't make it because it distracts me from something...

It says: "FreeBSD users will still be able to boot into Plasma with any other login manager that works on FreeBSD, including SDDM, which is upstream from Plasma anyway." I use plasma. I love it because I can use it alongside Krohnkite (an...

I think I'm beginning to understand. Allow me to rewrite your question in more standard terminology, maybe that will help a better understanding. You have written your own driver, which lives in the lower half of the kernel, and is loaded as a...

This whole thread belongs in user development, not FreeBSD development, since we're discussing the API for user-space programs here. I presume you're talking about user space processes ... if not, please explain what you're talking about. In...

The short answer is no. The kernel does not work like that. Signals are managed by the kernel. Their impact is always on a user process. User processes operate in user (unprivileged) mode. A driver operates strictly inside the kernel (in...

We need to find a non-Linux term for this. Perhaps "derivo" or "derivistro" to show they are derivations and not distributions. I'm not sure "derivation" is the correct term, either, since they are FreeBSD with pre-defined packages installed and...

Looks like I peeked inside a brand new world full of new abbreviations and new choices none of which I understand. Maybe this video will help to enlighten me. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2Jqz1tvsoM
