POSIX says in https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/index.html 2.14.3 Patterns Used for Filename Expansion [...] If the pattern matches any existing filenames or pathnames, the pattern shall be replaced with those filenames and...

Yes, it is, you can verify it: $ touch b c 4 ab k_l $ for f in *; do echo ${f}; done 4 ab b c k_l Is is implemented in FreeBSD sh, here some source code references: - 1. qsort in expandmeta(). - 2. strcoll, which is used in the abovementioned...

Are the $f in an expression like for f in file[0-9][0-9].c; do echo "doing something with $f"; done taken in lexicographic order? It seems that POSIX demands it, but it is always implemented? In FreeBSD and elsewhere?

Farest east? You should get a recent map. Things have been happening... And you seem to have a coffee insufficiency right now. I used your joke as a start ramp for another one. Hope I need not explain...;)

FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE xlibre-minimal-1.0 xlibre-nvidia-driver-390-390.157_1 xlibre-server-25.1.0 xlibre-xf86-input-libinput-25.0.0 xlibre-xf86-video-vesa-25.0.0 I installed Xlibre for testing. Mostly no problems so far. The only thing is that...

I really enjoyed Michael Lucas's article. Agree with most of what he said, but I will admit that freebsd-update was the game changer that opened the door (for me) to adopt FreeBSD more. I run 100's of FreeBSD systems and can't imagine life...

Yeah, you won't have enough neurons left after that. Bad POSIX. BAD.

Yes, it's in the news, but that's it. We have such an awful lot of them, you can't shake a stick at them all... We had that a long time before, but we had reigned it in somewhat to the point we had workers rights and pensions by then, introduced...

Crumb 1520: What Is Freedom: Freedom is being able to do and not being afraid of doing anything that doesn’t physically harm anybody directly and doesn’t curtail their freedom directly. By Alfredo Llaquet-Alsina. Written in LibreOffice Writer on...

I was pretty cool at school to have Spiderman 1 on an iPod while it was in theaters :cool: Although one might think Amazon's Prime TV and AI would be better at knowing I have a daily router reboot and to buffer extra data around that time for 1...

The car, fair enough, but light bulbs, computers and aircraft were all done in the US first from what I can tell. Or at least those were the first instances of any of those things being practical and from which the more modern versions were...

I read in a few places (even the man page I think) that GELI supports up to two independent keys, but I wasn't able to find or figure out how to use or create these keys when creating a GELI partition. Does GELI only support a single key upon...

On a Linux forum I saw a hilarious combo of users with that letter avatar; some coordination could make that amusing 😆

Accidentally mastered Bnet client too :p (notes; silent install and min-spec launch) --headless --single-process --disable-gpu and --renderer-process-limit=1 --in-process-gpu --process-per-site --disable-gpu differences were interesting

I've just installed it and am running it naitively so I'll see how far I get after just extracting base kernel and src txz's without any packages.

Train Dreams on Netflix right now. Great flick.

Bollywood 🤣 There was some hilarious movie a couple years ago that got me into that genre

Firstly it is a pleasure to introduce myself to the community. I've been a long standing advocate of many things Open Source, and the after-life Unix community. I currently run a multi-purpose FreeBSD backbone server as part of my financial...

Note to future me: By default, all installations are global. A “local” install is simply a global package whose accessibility is restricted to a specific user.

Somehow I missed this. 2 and a half hours live performance. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD3i6XYHjQ0

Not entirely sure but I think it's a good idea to have the build machine booted with the i386 kernel so all the system calls are compatible. I wonder how far a amd64 15.0 system gets with crosscompiling, though. Is i386 even suported still?

I guess I need tocd /usr/src and make buildworld and this shouldn't depend on which version I want to build and being in a jail shouldn't make any difference. Have I got that right?

Do you want to change that? By the time you have Netflix running on FreeBSD you will have more of a clue about computers - whether you want to or not.

I purchased a Lenovo LapTop"IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1 16" as a gift to my long time Veteran Buddy. It has an Intel graphics card on the MotherBoard. I have been able to make my personal PC load and work by adding 20-nvidia-driver.conf to the...

Right. I is actually a huge advantage for Google that they have a pre-AI-slop copy of the Internet. Including youtube.

Looks cool!

I know it's not a "great" thought but this is why I choose C and "no dependencies" if I can.

Apparently storage is relatively cheap on a datacenter scale. And even though much content is not interesting to general human audiences you can always let an AI play with it.

Well, OP would be doing high-level programming, just in the kernel.

Running on fvwm3 with 1 xterm/vi, galculator and two iconified xterms. There are many missing external files though so the only thing you can see of menus are their borders.

The is the layout visual debugging, we use flexbox for most layouts which give the capability of being responsive, nether Gtk or Qt has this feature. Gnome fakes it in there desktop shell. If you have ever done any development with qt you would...

I saw the one you put on the F'in Rams. And the whiners.

Seattle is where I live!!!! We have the loudest fans in the GAME!!!!!!! Go 12's!! Did you see that ass beating we put on the 40 whiners!!!

Zare No doubt but OP stated wanting to "practice more low-level programming" which I took to mean in-kernel.

I was able to knock off a bunch of low hanging fruit, 1. Desktop Icons and Rubber Band Selection 2. Windows style dock with quick launch, task list, date/time, status icons 3. Hotplug Daemon for Removable Devices.. This is the dock.toml it...

Ohhh OHHH!!!!!! what was that score!!! 41 - 6!!!

Rootin for the New Seattle Patrihawks. Cause ‘Murica.

Your missing out! Seahawks fans are the loudest in the GAME!!

Not in this thread. And a page is 24 lines of course :)

Probably a temporary glitch. Have you tried them again yet? I can fetch packages from both servers through https without a problem.

Ubuntu does more bloaty things than just install a bunch of random *.deb packages.

I read somewhere that you need to be a serious computer enthusiast to run FreeBSD so I don't think it would be right for the OP.

Maturin I'll be in Passau for two days.

bonta what are the flags (if any) that you used when mounting the NTFS?

I know, from USA every country looks small - especially from somewhere more in the middle, like St. Louis (I've been on the arch.) And apart from many of your countrymen you actually travel outside the states, so you know, there is whole world...

My other half is Hungarian. I'll be visiting my grandparents home town of Budapest in May.
