drhowarddrfine what you are showing here is a prime example of blatant plagiarism and an insult to the original Czech Budweiser beer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budweiser_trademark_dispute Take a daytrip from Passau to Budweis, and you will...

back in college we had a legacy network that was colloquially referred to as "the three stooges" because of their reboot routine crayola and prism were SPARC boxes running Solaris 2.7 and served the YP directory service to walt, the Alpha...

I'm reusing this thread because I want to try to infuse a little positivity. Another of the reasons why FreeBSD makes me happy is the passion and commitment of the port maintainers and the developers. I sincerely admire all of them. They invest...

Yes, please.

drm.i915.enable_dc=0 didn't help drm.i915.enable_psr=0 didn't help either. it is definitely an issue with drm-66/drm-latest. I'm not sure what to do next, bug report?

The problem has returned, and I think I found the cause. I have been running with drm-61-kmod but have noticed that the screen in the console gets brighter when it loads; from dark black prior to grey after. So I thought I would give drm-66-kmod...

The January Core/FF was not held. So, we were unable to discuss this. I'm trying to set up the meeting for the end of the month.

That's right, but not the point. It's simply that political stuff is prohibited here by forum rules, and it's off-topic to this thread.

I actually disagree. The foundation has a well-defined purpose: Collect donations and use them for the benefit of FreeBSD (usually in the form of funding development). That's much easier done in small groups, and enough information about the...

Reality: the EU protects the Silicon Valley industrial empire by excluding all competition and locking users in a software construct. Fact: your phone operating system hijacked your admin permissions to have you watch advertisements and exploit...

No worries, it's a rather slippery slope to make such determinations. The planes first commercially viable planes were the result of a series of rather difficult inventions. If the problem of gliders hadn't already been cracked, adding a small...

fernandel I just gave x11/lxpanel a try on my CURRENT vm and it would definitely work for me if tint2 was unavailable. Jose it's not too big and seems to have a lot of same functionality. I just played with it, didn't try to figure out how to...

I have been working on the issue. The problem is that the virtualbox-ose-additions-72 port had went completely over my radar when first porting XLibre. (I have rarely used VBox. BHyve has been sufficient for me) This port provides 2 drivers for...

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.

Just wanted to share my thoughts about the 'state' of porting XLibre to FreeBSD - for me - worked like a charm. I tried XLibre recently when I tried to use as less RAM as possible with some still fully functional and nice looking GUI -...

I'm a boy from China who is 14 years old,I used to use Windows11 and Gnu/Linux. I had tried many Linux Distros. It's a big waste of my time and I even installed Gentoo with full disk encryption. Ops! I had also tried OpenBSD , It's simple and...

Greetings from Indonesia. Sorry, it took me so long to introduce myself here. I am just a low-life webdev, got myself a taste of UNIX-like OS back in around '99 when I played around with Slackware on my Pentium machine. Have to switch to Windows...

Another successful Xlibre install. I'm so jealous. It's not the right time for me to tweak my desktop PC, but I'll do it soon, and the laptop too. Of course it's not! (I use sudo, though; I guess I'm used to it).

I see. That explains it. I was over confident because I had done a 14.3 to 15.0 upgrade a little over a week ago. So it seems that bug fix never got ported back to older versions (which makes sense since they are un-maintiainted). This was a...

Yes, about 100 of them. And plastering a snapshot over / would break such a bad compiler chain. Still puzzled.

Pages I often visit I get via autocompletion in the URL bar. At this time I use bookmark groups pretty much only for transporting them from one machine to another (in the same Chrome login).

How were pkgs installed in the previous version of pkg? Was it something like pkg-install?

I have been using ZFS Encryption for some removable drives and a two VMs on laptops so far. No issues. Trying to send a zfs snapshot without the --raw parameter reliably gives me an error message, so I am not sure where the risk for data...

One of several 16-current machines doesn't build kernel or world, on identical /usr/src trees. The others work fine as always. The problem seems to be rooted at the macro SYSCTL_PROC(...) from FreeBSD base expanding to nothing. [...] -o spa.o...

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...

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.

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...
