Exactly. That raises questions about trusting unknown blobs. That is not what I want to use.

I've tried that but can't get rid of the files. They are in a jail, which probably has some bearing but the jail is stopped.

Well, it is the road trip that is the point. The eclipse is just an excuse.

It is still possible to install and run Home Assistant inside a python virtual environment, even if not supported. However, I don't recommend doing so unless you run on sufficiently powerful hardware. I run on a single-core ARM machine (similar...

Here is what I get:- ./fd: total 1 dr-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel - 512 Jan 22 20:01 . drwx-wxr-x 14 root wheel - 512 Jan 24 22:30 .. cr-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 0x3 Jan 22 20:01 0 cr-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 0x4 Jan 22 20:01 1 cr-xr-xr-x 1 root...

A mention for ls from chflags: You can use "ls -lo" to see the flags of existing files. ls -l (The lowercase letter “ell”.) List files in the long format, as described in the The Long Format subsection below. -o...

I think you might be running into the classic reparenting issue with Dwm and Java detailed here (along with a solution)? https://man.cx/dwm#heading8 That said, for UML, I highly recommend Dia for simple class diagrams or... DOSBox + Win3.1 +...

Its mainly so people can just grab and run pre-packaged cruft without learning / having time for / doing a proper job. It just so happens that "Docker Image" is an alias for "Bunch of packaged Linux binaries", hence on FreeBSD it just turns into...

Is there a way to show files which have chflags set when using ls? I don't see such an option but maybe I'm overlooking it.

I'm not so sure. By popular, I don't necessarily mean "with individuals". One that comes to mind is trying to tailor the LinuxEmu layer to provide docker containers in the hope that it attracts companies stuck with that kind of stack. Allowing...

Depends on who you ask, 2 or 5. Now that wouldn't be my teachers, but linguists and politicians who 'decide' whether 4 south Slavic nations speak the same language or not. For programming languages I'd say two on this level, too. C I would...

https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/hardware/#sound Correct me if I'm wrong but there are two options if you want to run a new PCI express interface. ESI Juil@ with snd_envy24ht, or RME HDSPEe AIO/RayDAT with snd_hdspe. With the giant caveat...

I'm going to plug my own page. https://srobb.net/fbsdquickwireless.html, gives basic instructions for most forms of wireless. blackbird9's post might have given you most of the info though. Anyway, you have to create the passphrase, as bda65...

It almost certainly does. As mer already said, git(1) would be the most convenient way to find the exact differences between the releases. I guess there may be a more straightforward way in git for doing this, but honestly git interface is a...

For me, it works in both waterfox and librewolf.

While it does happen occasionally under Windows, the sound either works or doesn't. When it starts distorting, you can replug the interface and reset it to normal. It can happen once in a few days of heavy sound usage. It is highly unlikely...

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...

I am planning on getting the PCI-e sound card to see if that fixes my issue since I have a feeling the GPU/driver is causing issues with the USB bus since dragging an xterm also suffers. I just created a new topic on the Nvidia forum for this...

Hello scf@ I'm glad to see a report of this because I experience the same thing but I wasn't sure whether there is something off with my hardware causing interrupt storms. I too have 'mended' it by removing all the sound sysctls I use for...

Every so often I hear crackling during sound playback. It could happen while watching YouTube in Firefox or playing a video or audio file with mpv. "Did I hear something in the music track? Perhaps, the rip had a mistake or the CD has a...

Then why post it at all and why are you posting it here?

Spain, like any place in the present, I suppose, is big and diverse. I had never heard about "café del tiempo" in my whole life. Let's do our research... Ah! It's how they call in Valencia to what we Catalans simply call "iced coffee," or, more...

Have you had a look at /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.linkup.sample, specifically the “shell” and “bg” commands? e.g. execute a program (in the background) to do something (play a tune) when the link comes up: MYADDR: !bg /usr/X11R6/bin/auplay...

Yep. Even here in the home of Budweiser we have had quite a number of local breweries that make pretty good beers.

Well, it is the road trip that is the point. The eclipse is just an excuse.

I never understood what the big deal was about seeing an eclipse till one was in my area a few years ago. It was the most surprisingly spectacular thing I've ever witnessed but I'm not sure I'd spend money to travel far to see another.

I think git history can help figure that out.

It almost certainly does. As mer already said, git(1) would be the most convenient way to find the exact differences between the releases. I guess there may be a more straightforward way in git for doing this, but honestly git interface is a...

Our group had a good run with the last 2 eclipses. Maybe we'll be lucky again, but if not that would be OK.

FreeBSD's direction is the contributions that happen to actually roll in. There isn't much in the way of decision making since there's nobody to boss around.

dear all. thanks. i have study what is TUI program, CLI program. thanks. ;) problem solved with moc player..thanks.

There have been reports that the area in Spain which is in the path of the eclipse is notorious for cloud cover. Please don't set your hopes too high. And also: "Helgaaaaa!"

Fair point, it's rather late here. It's been ages since I used that command. Did anything actually get installed as part of the update attempt here? Because the log that you posted seems to suggest that it barfed all over some update databases...

I have backups, the RTO is not ideal if the base system is trashed. This is freebsd-update, not pkg. I re-ran each freebsd-update command one at a time and it looked like things are okay. The jail restart fine, but I'm afraid to reboot the host.

As nvidia doesn't state supports for XLibre (and as far as I could heard of, unlikely at least for now), if any issue specific for XLibre (means, cannot reproduce on Xorg) on nvidia GPUs are needed to be fixed / worked around by XLibre side, at...

Finally some good news for the weekend :)

Unless I'm missing something, as long as the local package database hasn't been corrupted, it's probably not that big of a deal. The files in the /var/db/pkg directory, specifically the local.sqlite is rather important. I would make a point of...

I didn't realize this was a bad idea, but I ran two parallel instances of freebsd-update. One for the host system (on 14.3-RELEASE) and one for a jail (13.4-RELEASE). freebsd-update fetch install freebsd-update -j myjail -r 13.5-RELEASE upgrade...

Original article here. Consider this when replying. I doubt you’ve been living under a rock for at least the last decade, so I won’t explain containers for you. I will, however, mention what the Open Container Initiative (OCI) is, since FreeBSD...

Thankfully with FreeBSD 15, just running gssd with -h suffices without the gssname option- presumably MIT Kerberos related. I think that's always been the case as long as you leave out the gssname option though. In addition, watch out for your...

In Spain exists a bunch of kind of coffee: Cafè del tiempo (cafè del tèmps), cortado (tayàt), bon bon (with condensed milk) bon bon del tiempo, carajillo (with cognac or other liquors) and, of course, espresso. I usually take cafè bon bon...

...Americans talk coffee...😳 Okay, you correctly call your stuff "swill". That's why you are allowed to enter my personal coffee class.🥋☕😁 So, let me put some things right, before some one mentions Starfu...🤮 Level Zero: I am not talking "I...

According to ChatGPT:-

blackbird9 thanks for the suggestions but my aim is to apply this upgrade via LAN. My attempts up to now got as far booting up to an IBM DOS Version 5.00 prompt the same as booting via Ventoy from the ISO file. I need to figure out how to link...

The easiest fix would be to install via Windows. But that would mean admitting defeat ;)

When I did this, I actually burned the .iso to a physical cdrom, and installed it on the X61 using a portable usb dvd drive. That worked, I remember. Sometimes the easy fix is to use hardware.

Indentation had a simple role, no big semantic meaning. See "Fixed layout and punched Cards" in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortran

Yeah, but how do I monetise ... 😂

I've gotten myself involved in some things that have me coming home with a bit of stress. At the same time, I had a number of bottles of liquors in my cabinet given to me by someone who realized they are a borderline alcoholic. The only liquor I...
