    Elektor Formant. A very ambitious project for a 70's electronics magazine. Elektor was really a cut above the other electronics mags, high quality, as you can see from this copy of the original series of articles. One of the nicer aspects of...

    Phishfry what I did, though I don't say it's a good idea, is run pkg create on 15-RELEASE. Then I put that package on 16-CURRENT and ran pkg add and it installed. I didn't try to build it from a port, just used the binary.

    I do that with the dd command. 1 disadvantage may be that it breaks on any failure. dd if=<input device/partition> of=<output file> bs=100M Make sure to read "man dd" and test a backup recovery procedure. You can also recover specific content...

    Sorry about that. Sometimes information takes time to sink in. And sometimes your answers get 'modified'.

    How I remember struggling with this command set thirty years ago. Eventually I got myself a usr robotics courier hst 14400 which provided the 'fastest imaginable connections' over POTS. I kinda miss the noise they made on connection. Would be...

    Looks like an antiseptic gel cover. And our local hospital has a MRT machine (7T) that will happily turn some types of ink into second or third degree burns. That's another reason why I won't risk getting inked.

    fernandel I just gave x11/lxpanel a try on my CURRENT vm and it would definitely work for me if tint2 was unavailable. Jose it's not too big and seems to have a lot of same functionality. I just played with it, didn't try to figure out how to...

    I congratulate the tint2 developers. They have created the perfect bar. I have no bugs with it and can find none. I simply turn off #time2 Amen brothers. No need for feature creep. It works very well. Just like OpenBox. Take it or leave it. I...

    If it is the last post we're answering, then possibly the quote won't be used - for example if I was referring to something eternal_noob wrote, just picking up my post for archival, is loss of context. For this purposes (getting all the jpegs...

    balanga replied to the thread IP address of DHCP Server.
    I don't intend to run clients disklessly normally, I'm just experimenting at the moment to see what I can do. My latest idea is to change rc.conf to ifconfig_em0="DHCP" after my dhcp server has booted so that I don't get a duplicate IP address...

    MG replied to the thread Downloading my content.
    I don't think there's an official way and the forum probably won't allow automated requesting of all posted content of a user. It should be an option, though. It's not complicated to offer all users a on-the-fly generated textfile with everything...

    I'll keep that one in mind if it ever gets to not being able to use tint2.

    Once I use x11/lxpanel it works but I didn't like it (possible because I am using tint too long).

    balanga replied to the thread setting boot flag.
    Interesting that you mention this since I just added 'echo "hello" ' into my rc.conf and couldn't understand why hello popped so many times. I'm currently trying find out what is considered to be 'late'.

    This was a very rocky road and maybe its just me, but I found next to no helpful information in getting the 780M graphics of the fairly new AMD 7940HS to work on FreeBSD. Here is a short list of the things I had to do to get this working...

    rc.conf runs as part of every normal rc script. The early-late divider prevents a script outside /etc/rc.d/ from running in very early - by default before FILESYSTEMS.

    No. As far as I understand I'd need a thick jail. As both services access data on the host system, I think this is not easily possible; besides the huge overhead?

    MG replied to the thread Solved A reliable backup strategy for a newbie.
    If it only has to be reliable at home, I can recommend a random laptop, 1 or 2 USB SATA disk readers, a bunch of loose harddisks of 1-3 GB and a non-permanent textmarker. Most reliable disks are 5400RPM Seagates to my experiemce. For making the...

    Crivens replied to the thread Do you use AI @work without formal employer approval?.
    Yes and no. It's most likely not a carbon copy but it will be stuff from inside the training data. The llms most likely roam inside the envelope but can't leave it - or has anyone seen something different?

    grok may help you to debug it ... But my question is not answered: did it really create it? Look at the message: grok called it 'request dumper', I did not use that word, just described in very few words what it should do.

    This is an abomination unto DIN and VDE. The work of a heretic, surely drhowarddrfine I have seen boards where some chips were superglued on belly-up and all pins nicely soldered on 5mm of wire to the board. Seems to happen from time to time.
