    Why would you want full disk encryption on a VPS? In case somebody breaks into Amazon datacenters and runs off with your physical instance?

    Your setup is slightly incorrect. You're actually running it within twm. This is still a small bug on my part. cwm2.bin needs to be started independently (not from another wm). You are currently running twm. You can set a wm by creating an...

    Thanks - I had forgotten about that. gop list shows a range of modes, and gop get showed that mode 2 (800x600x32) was selected. Doing gop set 0 (mode 0 is 1920x1200x32) got me a high resolution console (framebuffer) and then scfb works in native...

    Hi wonslung, Just to put it (very) simple: in FreeBSD, all processes are either capable of running (placed on the run queue of the scheduler) or are waiting for some activity (blocked, placed on sleep queues). When processes are blocked on...

    So, I tried. I created a VirtualBox 7.2 VM running FreeBSD 15 on my FreeBSD 15 host. I installed Xorg. I downloaded your wm. I compiled it successfully but, when I executed it, the result was not what the example screenshot of your github shows...

    I get what you’re saying, but I don’t really agree with the conclusion. Yes, the existing FreeBSD tooling can solve these problems, but in practice I found it more complex than what I needed. This isn’t about raw capability, it’s about...

    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...

    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.

    Zare replied to the thread Can I set a swap in zvol?.
    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...

    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.
