SOAP looks complicated - like it was designed by committee. However, there are code generators that turn a SOAP schema into classes in your language of choice. REST started as one person's idea that became refined over time. It was easier to...

That's still no reason to post AI slop on a forum. And we will see how many of the maintainers of the affected software will agree that these bug reports are valuable.

One thing that FreeBSD has over any other OS, as you can see, is a passionate community eager to help. That's for sure.

Before even thinking of installing FreeBSD you should check if it can run on your hardware: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/hardware/ FreeBSD is not good with the latest notebooks. Expect loss of functionality.

Well, the member of this forum obviously think FreeBSD is good. Libreoffice and Youtube aren't a problem.

There are many things to try to exclude possible causes. Power-off still doesn't work without anything except / mounted? This means it's not a storage device having trouble. What happens after the physical shutdown button? In case no power-off...

The fix has been committed, so very soon we should all be able to install tint2 by pkg on CURRENT.

Hi everybody 👋 I'm just getting serious about switching to FreeBSD. :) It's funny, it doesn't feel like I chose it as much as my path led here. It just makes sense for me to move to FreeBSD. It's not my first experience with FreeBSD either. I...

I am aware, I didn't realize your rant-y post was about signing up; I thought you ranted about posting bugs via email. My mistake. Also, my comment was not aimed at you specifically, it was aimed at any reader of this thread that might think that...

Benny Siegert, a well known NetBSD developer, gives some reasons why in his opinion Rust will never make it into the NetBSD kernel: First of all: I’m not so sure that Rust in the kernel would have been chosen to cater to a younger developer...

A very safe solution is to install FreeBSD to a USB stick and boot from it. This will be slow at first but if you also have access to a fast disk parttion, you can move things to it and limit access to the storage on the original bootdevice to...

Windows can access the FreeBSD disk. But if the FreeBSD filesystem is encrypted at rest it would be annoying to get into that. You'd have to manipulate the FreeBSD OS to log the key for the encrypted filesystem somewhere. This is not what...

Hi T-Daemon Thank you for your reply. That's clear now: What I did is: make buildkernel pkg unregister FreeBSD-kernel-generic-15.0 make installkernel DESTDIR=/ Thank you very much. Regards, Cédric

Intacto

Why buy new RAM when billions of PCs are being decommissioned due to Windows 11 requirements? I recently purchased four HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Minis, each equipped with a 7th-gen Intel Core i5-7500, 16 GB of RAM, and a 500 GB SSD for $100 USD total...

To put a distinction out there, the command line or terminal does not imply CLI. It may as well be TUI and automagical. Consider somebody just copy pasting what the website told him, into a terminal and hit enter - a shiny colorful script loads...

A lot of that is because people have gotten used to GUI tools that do the same job in a far less efficient way, or don't do everything and then just accept that it can't be done if the tool doesn't allow it. I've been using computers since the...

I wish I was only 53! ;)

ASN.1 is a real pain to program for, though. As most Telekom formats.

I'm not sure space saving is that important because the formats are so redundant that they compress very well. Unless you want to mmap(2) them later and don't have a filesystem with compression.

And if you can, consider installing a UPS. Even the most basic ones will give you enough time to save whatever you're currently working on, shut down the machine properly and some more. They will also protect you from power surges.

Haha, that's what first came to my mind, too!

Being up to date regarding security and errata patches before doing any minor or major upgrade is standard procedure, recommended even in the Handbook.

I got to test out a little more last night at home. I ran this on my primary FreeBSD installation on my home computer. I have three monitors, and experienced the same issue andger reported with multi-monitor. Not sure if this is not yet...

Ahhh. The wikipedia band member timeline chart. Thanks. Clearly I would just use whatever wikipedia uses.

Me neither! In the spirit of scientific discovery in inexact sciences, I will note here what has resolved the issue for me. First, more cache was needed. I set sysctl vfs.zfs.arc.max to 8GB. This permitted things like nightly reports to actually...

If you are used to the insubstantial blathering AI produces, any text actually written by a real human is good. 😁 (Not really. [This just as a prevention before some one points me to bad texts written by humans. I was joking, of...

I saw a video on that yesterday. I think what that sort of thing should tell people is that we need to return to the way that things were decades ago when most interactions with other internet users were some combination of forum, email and IM...

My Samsung S20 broke a couple of weeks ago. Insurance replaced it with a S22 Ultra. The thing has so many settings, it's like setting up FreeBSD. And don't get me started on how much power it sucks up. It's about twice the battery but dies just...

Who or what is Gantt? Can I drink it?

Your text is excellently written. You are a good writer. As for the topic you propose, I profoundly disagree. I started on the command line, in the 1980s, on CP/M and then MS-DOS, being very young. So I've done a lot of command line work, and I...

The lack of awareness is frustrating. I mean, looking at the computing specs of my previous Samsung phone, this is more computer than the last Pentium. People have no idea what it could be because everything is polluted with commercial platforms...

I had my colleagues literally freaking on me, as a technical superior they would come with project problems, and I would just tell them off; the problem is some of the GUI tools is now not working. A IDE is not pulling correct dependencies, IDE...

Please forgive a small digression, but behind everything a human creates, understands, and uses — even in the world of computers — there is always a quiet reflection of emotion. Lately, discussions often appear suggesting that BSD is meant for...

Are we now living in a world where a vnet jail is being considered "more safe" than a non-vnet jail?

if you think any of this slop is anything remotely close to safe we have a bridge to sell you

Nope: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MXV80q17ww Year of the FreeBSD desktop for me started 2024 :cool: (I started 14.1 and it only took 1 version to see what's good) That video doesn't show much, but FreeBSD's the only OS I wanted to...

I'm continuing to figure it out; is it possible to expand the collapsed window of calls_cli_raise_toggle again without using the mouse?

Currently you can only raise with the mouse. The mode algorithm needs a little more improvement. Please try again in a few days time. Thanks for pointing that out.

I don't have an example picture. Time should be shown from left to right and as in the Gantt diagrams the bigger wholes of work should show as bars from start date to end date. After these, maby a red to green bar to show software maintenance...

I like knowing exactly what this one-liner does consistently (installs a specific version of DXVK for WoW): DEL /Q "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\World of Warcraft 3.3.5\d3d9.dll" "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\World of Warcraft 3.3.5\Wow.dxvk-cache"...

I am using Postfix. In /usr/local/etc/newsyslog.conf.d there is only rspamd.newsyslog.conf. This issue is not limited to maillog — I just rotate maillog daily,so it is easier to notice there. The same behavior is observed with other log files...

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...

ZFS uses transaction groups. Writes go into memory initially and are committed to the drive at the end of the each group. After an unclean shutdown the systems comes up a bit out of date, but fully self-consistent. You may be thinking of ZFS...

At this point, if you've successfully checked the filesystem consistency, reinstalled all your packages and recreated Firefox's profile, I'd seriously start suspecting disk damage. If I were you I'd do a backup of anything of value ASAP and run a...

I had problems with Firefox a few weeks ago. This fixed it for me:
