Got it fully working on a 4K display with bspwm, st terminals, regular desktop applications, WebGL, VirtualBox, RDP etc. Too easy: pkg install xlibre xlibre-nvidia-driver-470 Thank you Xlibre guys.

I'm not sure courting end users should be the goal. Look at what Gnome, Wayland, and even newer Firefox versions are doing. They are requiring more and more Linux-only software and design choices (pulseaudio, Wayland only, systemd, etc). To run...

graphics/viewnior simple, lightweight and get the job done.

Find the commit hash for OpenZFS 2.4.0 in the stable/15 branch and git-cherry-pick the hash in releng/15.0. See Committer's Guide, 5.3. MFC (Merge From Current) Procedures for merging details.

Why not? I didn't have to configure anything /etc/rc.initdiskless related when booting diskless. Aside from that: FreeBSD handbook, 34.10.1. Setting Up the PXE Environment

That's your opinion that is not valid for others.

There's always a reason why anyone does anything.

I know that this is a old message but just to clarify, the Euro GPDR stuff ensures that companies that deal with data collection specifically declare themselves as such and abide to some practices in safeguarding the data integrity and...

Not sure what you mean. Fdisk options -b and -f to read or write a partition table in ASCII format. Not binary but bytewise. :D I'm still looking for something that can see what's the problem related to this method and fsck inconsistency errors...

FreeBSD can read ext4 (I think write too iirc), but NTFS worked easiest Linux and FreeBSD for read/write. My main NAS drive gets formatted to whatever OS I'm using (full-immersion :cool:), but I rsync it to a spare NTFS drive first and then...

Is there anything like a binary editor for boot and partition records which will translate the values in the areas and show data at various disk addresses?

The most recent reference of vermaden about getting Windows XP to run on Bhyve using VirtualBox as a middle step, as Emrion has commented, that I can find is this one...

I have a page on vm-bhyve, which also has a link to vermaden's page on it (which is more complete). https://srobb.net/vm-bhyve.html But in your case, I think all you need is vm create -t centos7 myvm with myvm being the name of the vm. For...

And if you're in X and using a terminal emulator such as Xterm, scrolling is done using Shift+Page Up/Down.

That's because this website (which is not affiliated with the FreeBSD project) has an outdated version. It's currently 1.2.1_1, not 1.1.3_1: https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/spoofdpi-1.2.1_1.pkg If you have access to...

You can't boot from a USB drive? That would be problem solved, I think? Watch out with choosing the target disk in the installation program. It has kind of a strange order of actions. Also you might check /etc/fstab after installation to see if...

Yep and I think Emrion may have a bit of insight into the tool ;)

You could try installing sysutils/loaders-update and then running loaders-update show-me From the ports description: "This utility is a tool designed to keep the FreeBSD bootcodes and loaders up-to-date. It's useful because the FreeBSD upgrade...

I definitely agree with labeling the disks using the relevant utilities. I'd also recommend marking the physical disks themselves so that you don't ever screw up that portion of it as well since you seem to have more than one disk.

I would rather trust the in-kernel ext2fs than the fuse exFAT. Not to speak of performance.

wow it's slop all the way down

Bucky You're welcome mate skhal brought some good info too about difference between both packages minimal and base, thanks to him. I came to the same conclusion, at this point thin jails do not exist anymore unless someone come with a solid...

gotnull, agree with you. Did the setup as you described and both basejail and minimaljail up and running with no troubles. Shoutout to skhal as well. Now to figure out when to use the minimal jail vs the basejail in production. Thank you!

Veracrypt - not password specific but it's nice to have an encrypted volume you can move between systems.

My Recommendation: 1. Back up those files to an external drive. Immediately. You are one wrong keystroke, one botched update, one hardware glitch away from losing everything. In my years of doing computer support, I have seen this scenario...

I'd try the mailing list. Although I'm not sure which one would be appropriate, perhaps try ports@ first.

Think of "latest" as "bleeding edge." These are essentially nightly builds of the packages, and they aren't always processed and available at the time you want to run the upgrade. If you don't want this situation, you need to run "quarterly" or...

For what it's worth, my VM host runs 15-STABLE (stable/15-n281412-26365bf2516f), all VMs (except one) are running 15.0-RELEASE. The one exception is Debian 12.

I suppose it may be possible using the grub2-bhyve loader? Though getting a working Windows installation without using the UEFI graphics stack would be a lot of work. It may be more reliable and easier to just use QEMU.

Looks normal. That's to say, it has that state on my VM host too, and none of my VMs are hanging (they're all just happily chugging along). root 62436 13.2 3.9 8481452 3972216 - SC Fri20 1041:21.70 bhyve: sdgame01 (bhyve) root...

Directory indexes are turned off, probably for the same reason they've been turned off on the package repos. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/why-pkg-freebsd-org-subfolders-indexes-are-forbidden.76191/

You don't. Just wait for 15.1-RELEASE.

I really don't know how to thank you. Thank you so much... I downloaded it and I'm now installing and configuring it.

I uploaded spoofdpi.pkg to my google drive, this is for FreeBSD 14.3. I hope you can download from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17gdIbk9s64igg4xzaTP8QDbr-cqN5WVw/view?usp=drive_link Try pkg add <pkgfile> # pkg info spoofdpi...

Unfortunately, the package is not available for download on this page (404 error): https://freebsd.pkgs.org/14/freebsd-amd64/spoofdpi-1.1.3_1~9117419a62.pkg.html Even the prerequisites for this package are not available too! This was the only...

Downloading a single package without its dependencies is going to be hard to install locally, but it can be a start. You download that package, try to install it locally, see what dependencies are missing, and then get the packages of those...

Good luck, Maybe you could also try building it from ports tree if possible.

Thanks, I'll manually download the package with vpn on my phone and install it on the system to see what the result is...

Maybe anti-DPI proxy solutions such as net/spoofdpi could help? To put proxy in /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf: pkg_env: { http_proxy: "http://127.0.0.1:8080", }

Honestly, I don't trust any of the mirrors at all, but I'm really forced to use them. Even to install other tools like Laravel, I had to use a mirror, which is completely unsafe :( I've submitted a request ticket for FreeBSD packages to the...

It should be easy to configure lpd just with ghostscript, without cups: https://www.openprinting.org/printer/Brother/Brother-HL-1240

In those websites (they are not package mirrors, as previously established) there seems to be part of the FreeBSD base system in different formats, but I doubt that you can find the ports/packages there (they are probably too big). Anyway you can...

Thank you. Do you have any solution or suggestion for this problem? If you were in my situation, what would you do, considering that VPN services are also having serious issues...
