    Can package updates be pushed to repos without testing? Fedora's OBS ordeal had me asking questions :p (I wouldn't want nginx/MariaDB to randomly not start on a webserver)

    Indeed, for some areas of the house I do recommend using these (until you can pass through some proper cables). They typically run embedded Linux but tend to be far faster than i.e Desktop Linux/Windows with a wifi card (and certainly, usb...

    People are often so worried about "hiding your IP". I consider that to be similar to "hiding your residential address" or "hiding your phone number". Fact is, for almost everyone (at least in the western world), this is publicly accessible...

    A PC Gamer magazine got me to try Ubuntu 6.06, and I stayed for Compiz cube :p I'm curious how others switch OSs: Even when I tried Ubuntu 6.06 and messed with Hackintosh Tiger-SL, I still returned to a main OS eventually (Windows). I used...

    That's a bit wild, but maybe they have high-end chassis and plate/rubber tech? I'd be fine with a $50 GMK60 and a spare box of Cherry MX switches ($20) :p

    There are many packages to run AI locally. For LLMs, too, starting with ollama. On FreeBSD you can't get CUDA for NVidia, though, although AMD hardware acceleration works.

    who cares about an advertising platform that always has been intentionally the most developer-hostile environment? If someone chooses to suffer with that junk, it's on them how to get basic tools working.
  • tembun
    For NetBSD people for example it matters, because they are supporting platforms on which Rust does not exist yet, but they might need/want a working git.

    If your computer is a desktop system, you probably don't need wifi at all. Which means FreeBSD is excellent and far better than Linux on the desktop! And has been for 25 years. But let's not bring up the obvious again.

    CPU temperature graph appears to look fine. Averaging around 65-70C, toasty but not problematic, CPU usage graph seems to be an average 50% CPU load. Timelines don't match up perfectly, but assuming this is similar across the board I'd say the...

    Open it up, clean the inside of dust (this task should be done yearly - I must admit I'm not good at taking my own advice here). re-seat the memory (DIMMs). If the temperatures are too high, replace the thermal paste between CPU and cooler.

    If I'm understanding you correctly, you would like some form of AI to completely, or at least mostly, run your system? As far as I know, FreeBSD doesn't have that. I don't think the commercial O/S's or Linux has it either, yet, though some might...

    SSL/TLS only encrypts the traffic between your client and the IRC server (or web server, or whatever else you connect to). It does NOT hide your IP address.

    Basic rdr: rdr on $ext_if inet proto tcp from any to ($ext_if) port 80 -> 192.168.100.12 port 80 Routing table will do the rest. Packet filters like PF manipulate packets, it's not a routing engine.
