I have 16GB, but not sure how I would add swap space. I think I will simply monitor the situation and close Chrome when the swapfile is full. With that I think I will mark the query closed.

do not do this! ls is not meant to be parsed, and this will cause issues with funny characters in file names. see https://mywiki.wooledge.org/ParsingLs and https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls#for_f_in_.24.28ls_.2A.mp3.29 for further details

bash, ksh, busybox sh, zsh, mksh all adhere to POSIX for collating glob expansions. The one thing I was ever surprised about was a Linux system that would do "lexicographical" sorting in ls(1) by default, so A then a, then B then b, etc, instead...

For me it is the other way round. I learned to deal with many open tabs. Trying to remember or re-look up something on the other hand is highly distracting.

As I said, it is IIRC. But I think the buffer cache on the plain file is the problem, and that wouldn'r apply to the zvol. Of course given a choice a partition is better, unless you want to survive disk changes.

But bookmarks, as opposed to open tabs, do not go away when you are done with a page. My browsing style, and I think that of the OP, is to open all interesting links in tabs first before reading them as a batch. That requires that those you...

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...

IIRC what can lead to deadlocks is swapping to a file that lives in a ZFS filesystem, not swapping to a zvol.

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

Bookmarking isn't great.

Which is a sub category of beer, but enough of this in this dry place. We shall continue that discussion over the corpus delicti in question. To the foreign readers, when you want to see what is worse than two rednecks arguing...

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...

Could you take a screenshot please?

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...

+1 for independent movies. If you are into it, check out "The Gamers", its also on YT.

Lately I prefer European cinema. Here are some recent productions worth checking out. Luchshiye v Adu (Best in Hell). Simply a masterpiece. Furthermore, neither side is portrayed as "good" or "evil". Trailer: IMDB entry...

Egypt and Mesopotania want a word with that. The first laws about what can go into beer are, if I remember correctly, in the codex hamurabi. And Egypt had beer for who knows how long. Something must have been in play when they build the pyramids...

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...

This one is disabled by portmgr I guess, but build fine otherwise. So you only get 1 chromium based port, like there is only one electron port available as a pkg binary.

Don't intend to drag this off topic, but consider, emergency patient needs to be discharged, how are you going to check out his documentation? USB keys, emails, cellphones, whatsapps, social networks, none of it is a solution. An insured patient...

Old people? They still give you CDs in our central hospital's emergency ward ;) And all the private practices and specialist institutions have USB DVD ROMs to read them.

Dare I say you started building it because you wanted to build one ;) Because all the stuff you mention, would be solved by using current systems in place. Your toml seems to do not much more than automate the easiest, default build...

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...

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...

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...

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.
