Espionage724 Thank you. I looked at your wiki templates. That's well documented. If my foray into Ansible doesn't work out, I'll try your strategy.

I finally got rid of the DNS resolving problem by removing the leading space before the nameserver definition in /etc/resolv.conf

You can get solder seal wire connectors that both solder and heatshrink in one step. It's probably the easiest way of getting the job done reliably.

The answer is easy enough. Ideas are cheap and easy. Implementing them is hard.

Yeah, I would solder, too.

Some things got me close. Sudddenly dropping SDIO for the Raspberrys after years of promises, without a reasonable explanation. Other thing is the (discouraging if you ask me) Youtube org show. A real nope. I ignore it.

Well, the card arrived while I was on vacation. Today I had time to install it, removed the M5210 (look at the 4th picture where it still was conencted and the 5th where it was removed and the new card connected), but found a new obstacle, the...

I remember reading an article in Newsweek, I think, about a reporter walking with Jobs in San Francisco before the iPhone came about. They walked into a store cause he wanted to see what was out there. He picked up a couple and fiddled with them...

I have heard of people using super glue to coat the wires but I wouldn't do it long term. I agree with ralphbsz. Of course, I'm the type of guy who would. If you ever saw a picture of the original transistor in the lab, it looks like something...

When going to a new release, you can create a new BE and upgrade into it (the freebsd-update and pkg commands have a chroot option) so you can create a complete BE without rebooting. There have been a few threads here where I've shared my steps...

First there was Big Data. Corporations gathered a ton of data, that could potentially be used for reshaping current and developing new products. The world made new databases new filesystems new search algorithms and a ton of new scaffolding to...

To be honest, we kind of see that in humans too. The amount of incorrect / cyclejerk learning that goes on in reddit is cringy. Juniors enter the industry with heads filled with absolute crap (usually involving C++30 or Rust). So job security...

setfib can be used to launch a program with a specific fib. But is it technically possible to change the fib of the process that is already running on the fly? Sort of like nice can be used to start a program with a specific nice-priority, and...

The up to date driver is in the -current src. https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=e28529ca4d34084452ca9acf63aa40279787239a commit e28529ca4d34084452ca9acf63aa40279787239a Author: Brad Smith <brad@comstyle.com> Date: Fri Jan 9 19:57:17...

Fails to build. Now marked `BROKEN` for 13.x so it will only be built for 14 and 15. I haven't the time to even try backporting this to 13, if anyone provides patches they can be included if they don't affect the 14 and 15 packages. Just updated...

Seems to work on the ASROCK TRX50 motherboard. using 15-stable with 1 x 2.5 Gigabit LAN 10/100/1000/2500 Mb/s (Dragon RTL8125BG) chipset. Switch is Cisco 1 Gbit so no high 2.5 Gbit test possible rge0...

Don't have that hardware myself, so cannot test. But this is going to make a whole bunch of people very happy. By that I presume you mean backported to stable/14 and stable/15, so they'll be included in 14.4 and 15.1 when the time comes...

`net/realtek-rge-kmod` is a copy of the driver that has now been added to the main branch. Many people had issues with the official realtek-re driver. My system would crash repeatedly. This is why there's two versions of the official Realtek...

Well, it finally happened. After one year and a half of using exclusively FreeBSD I moved back to Linux. I chose Void because it supports ZFS which is a must for me. I was able to restore all my data (thanks to zrepl ). It can also be installed...

I very much agree with Espionage724. Many times, when I can't figure something out, I create a page on it, and explaining it the imagined reader helps me figure out what I need to do.

Might be recursive, but having a wiki to show my knowledge also lets me expand that knowledge :D I started my wiki to hold config notes, but mainly to show-off how I hosted a public game server to prove its security (it being useful for...

How do you listen to music? What happens with other audio playing in Chrome (not youtube)?

mixer vol=1.0:1.0 pcm0:mixer: <Conexant CX20590 (Analog 2.0+HP/2.0)> on hdaa0 (play/rec) (default) vol = 1.00:1.00 pbk pcm = 1.00:1.00 pbk speaker = 1.00:1.00 pbk mic = 0.50:0.50 rec rec...

It's: mixer vol=1.0:1.0

Sorry, I don't use Antigravity on FreeBSD.

Perfect example as to why I like games running localhost :p View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvlAKEBq3h4&t=215s

mixer vol=1.0:1:0:- mixer: invalid volume value: 1:0 pcm0:mixer: <Conexant CX20590 (Analog 2.0+HP/2.0)> on hdaa0 (play/rec) (default) vol = 0.86:0.86 pbk pcm = 1.00:1.00 pbk speaker = 1.00:1.00 pbk mic...

This manpage says: but no such file exists on my installation of 15.0. Where could I get it from?

Thanks for the link but I'm baffled as to what to do with it. Is it a Chrome extension?

I'm pretty sure that I can make a video louder by using mixer. That is, meaning a youtube video. You could try, next time a video is too low, running the command mixer. It might show something like vol = 0.85:0.85 pbk as the first line. Then...

While you read all that, and check cracauer@'s sensible suspicion, you may also install an extension called Improvedtube or Improve Youtube. I use it on Firefox, but it seems to have a Chromium version as well. It lets you do a ton of stuff...

As it happens, the current edition of the FreeBSD Journal has an article on the sound subsystem which you may find informative: https://freebsdfoundation.org/our-work/journal/browser-based-edition/freebsd-15-0/vox-freebsd-how-sound-works/

The only way to do this is to write your PF rules such that traffic is only allowed from specific IP(s), and to specific IP(s), and block everything else. If you have any rules that allow traffic from any IP, then that rule allows port scanning...

Heh, could I trademark that definition somehow? I like my definition more than the AI use of it :p

toddg Unfortunately, no. All my Ansible-related files are private. I recommend that you consult the documentation for the specific module that solves your problem, but I also think you should read up on the basics, such as variables, templates...

... and then there was overlays, which brought a whole lot of other problems to the party...

Thanks, I've been having consistency problems with my jail's net connection when also having podman containers and vms. Setting the non-VNET jail to use bastille0 with aliases for the appropriate IPs seems to have done the trick.

Hmm, messing around with it some more it looks like the FreeBSD machine is forwarding incoming packets to its default route, whether PF is running or not. And it stops doing that as soon as I start up OpenVPN.

Meh, I would, and already did it a bit :p (wildest set-up had 4 metal servers, distcc on 1 with my workstation, shared DB on 1 with webserver and game servers on separate machines, and the DB machine was also a NAS; even had an arcade machine...

Use caution with rsync -a. If used by a normal user, it doesn't get permissions quite right. Having spent quite a while trying to get rsync to do everything exactly the way I want, here are my options for its use. I'm just showing the options...

Yes they do it all the time I have lived it for the as I said past twenty-five years or so using it. Usually it is the new shinny coming along then they take and adopt that dropping the old like hot potato. Throwing away all of that work that...

Give them time. I'm sure it's coming.

FWIW, the better rsync command for just copying is `rsync -a -S -H ...`. That deals with sparse files and hardlinks.

It was the most complex for me :p I had two parts for a daily updater at 4AM: FreeBSD's easier: I put the stuff in a .sh script I can run/edit flexibly, and one line in a cron.d: Windows I put stuff in a script like FreeBSD, but scheduling...

Hard to tell because they stopped doing IRC logs in 2024. The previous directors meetings here show very little action. Almost nothing outside of XDC planning and re-elections. More leadership is demonstrated in an average Xlibre bug ticket ;)

That is the monitor lottery I spoke of earlier as I call it where they desktop opens the program on any damn monitor it chooses to do so on regardless of where you had it located. I eventually found a .kwin script that the author wrote to fix...

This all seems very familiar - and many or most should have learnt the hard way by now, from the systemd debacle, that this kind of thing is often agenda driven. What was so wrong with SDDM, that it had to be forked to a systemd dependent and by...
