FWIW I usually have hundreds of tabs open and it works kind of fine. I know where you are coming from, some style of study works better with opening lots of tabs for later, and memory is cheaper than brain. Well, memory is actually not cheap...

Many thanks. I guess I'll need spend some time getting familiar with what it offers. I have far too many tabs open but am hesitant to close some because of some info I tooks weeks trying to gather and have currently put on the back burner.

Extension "session buddy" will deal with remembering your tabs. You can also go into the task manager inside Chrome and randomly kill tabs you don't need right now. The tab will stay open with no content, but the URL stays. Later you can just...

Thanks for the suggestion. Just closing Chrome made a huge difference. I didn't need to do a reboot. Maybe I should close down Chrome every couple of days.

Closing Chrome itself will free up a lot. When you restart it, it will not load everything right away but will do a "lazy loading", only loading the active tab and a few visible tabs until you load more by actively clicking on them. Of course...

Also, never confuse who patented an idea first with who invented it. Benjamin Franklin seems to have a few discrepancies there, among many others.

For FreeBSD 15, install graphics/drm-66-kmod. Also try X without any configuration first. Let it figure things out on its own.

Of course sorting is implemented, but the question was if it is really used in sh? Otherwise I could use something like: `ls -1 pattern | sort | tr \n ' '` I also do not remember seeing unsorted output. But you know, the few systems call...

I have dozens of Chrome tabs open so I'm sure Chrome is eating up my memory. Is there some way of preserving the addresses of those tabs as I've probably spent ages finding some info I would like to be able to retrieve some information in future...

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...

Here’s a look at the GUI API in the C++ SDK. The code shown is the demo application used in the example above. Useing hml(aka my version of qml) you would radically reduce the amount of code your writing. I provided a example of hml below. int...

How?

Very cool project! It would be interesting to see a FreeBSD using that kind of package management. In particular I like the feature of having multiple releases of the same program or library installed at the same time.

Thanks! You’re welcome to use it, it’s designed to be dropped right into a fresh install. It’s not currently ready for release; I only have about 25 ports working. It’s a constant fight to add more, because it feels like everything is built for...

If pf is the problem the OpenBSD nfs aoopication isn't. If the OpenBSD nfs-implementation is the problem, pf isn't.

Err..no. Big no. Hell no. The reason to use swap is so the kernel can swap out the inactive memory pages, which will enable it to have more available pages and hand them out faster. (simplified, in a nutshell) So, even if you have a terabyte of...

That’s pretty much the model I’ve been thinking about. A recoup-then-open approach. Each piece of software has a clear development cost. While that cost is being recouped (via name-your-price sales), the code stays closed. Once it’s met, that...

When it first came out (available only in theaters right now), I think it was the AP that said they were surprised at how good it was. But, on Rotten Tomatoes, early movie reviewers of newspaper critics gave it 8% (very bad) while users gave it...

Yeah, similar idea (linear layout), but not the same thing. GtkBox is more “pack children in one dimension.” Yoga what I am using is literally the flexbox algorithm (grow/shrink/basis, alignment, etc.), so it behaves like web flex layouts.

What? You want some recommendings for movies? Sure. My personal video library currently contains ~450 movies, and ~50 TV series. What are you interested in exactly? Just a tip for the weekend? What do you prefer? A plot that is told in ten...

4) Depends on how big a server you order. Not answerable but we hosted three not-static ecommerce sites on one vps with far less than 20GB. 5) Yes 9) ICANN won't be the problem as they charge far less than a dollar of your total fee. Your...

This is interesting. Isn't Gtk's VBox and HBox essentially just flexbox? Same with QT's QHBoxLayout/QVBoxLayout. I originally implemented FLTK's FL_Flex to mimic flexbox and used the Gtk behaviour as inspiration. Looking at the mess that other...

Implemented matching server side decorations support in the compositor.

Well, if the OS doesn't support something networking-related, pf has nothing to block because there's no data. Can it work without packet filter? Also, why not just recomfigure the client if it's possible? You can leave the server, on which...

What to do when swapfile is full?

So, pf has nothing to do with it? I don't think the nfs server as well as the client of OpenBSD demands UDP-only and it can't be corrected to comply with a "modern" server.

What simple graphics program, equivalent Windows Paint, do people recommend?

It's not possible to fix the client? I wouldm't buy this situation. If the client is the problem we aren't going to "fix" the server. But what is the problem now? Why does OpenBSD use UDP and can't change that? (Which I doubt because it's often...

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?

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...

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
