l have issue on 14.3 unable to run games after installed. I just lazy troubleshooting and install straight from guthub.

What if you add analog circuitry? I don't think it's possible to somehow map a device and predict a variating binary number from a digital voltmeter between 2 points. Quite sure that's 0 success rate.

I'd like to see a tool that examines a running system to identify loaded but unused kernel modules. Use that to build a custom kernel.

If you're still having problems, see this bug report: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291768 since you seem to have an EPYC machine. See if the fix in comment 12 helps.

What you're looking for is a cloak (it's an ircd feature meant for masking IP). Libera.chat, if that's the server you're on, is offering them. Apparently, from that documentation page, new accounts now have them automatically activated: You can...

I liked the way the first looked at first, but like the idea of specifying private stuff more! Not sure I'm a fan of the strut word vs class at the beginning of code, but that's nothing :p

This is something I do that I am sure will drive some people nuts. In C++, struct and class are basically synonyms. The only difference is class defaults to private members while struct defaults to public members. You might expect something...

I thought mine was heavy :p (Hi75 at 1.2kg)

The weight of my keyboard is 2kg, metal.

Short answer is yes. Ideally the maintainer catches this. There are too many ports for committers to know how to test every one.

Generally #freebsd is relatively quiet though it will have around 700 people on. Keep in mind that many are just logged on and not watching, but in my experience, if you have a reasonable question, you'll get an answer fairly quickly.

You can always get one of those gadgets that is a wifi client and provides a couple eth ports.

You’re still arguing from a premise I don’t accept. I am not required to be affiliated with the FreeBSD Foundation, nor to design around the historical constraints of ports/pkg, in order to build an alternative system. That premise alone is...

They are project management tools. Talking about software. Just to draw a timeline graphics would be nice. Like historical events. For example the presidents of the USA: a line with a name label pointing to a year for example. Or a bar covering...

Yes, antennas are key. The tiny USB WIfi adapters don't have any to speak of. You can buy wifi USB adapters with bigger antennas. But a dedicated device is even better.

I assume this is going to stay this way for the duration of the 15 branch, commit - 2025-11-15: Add pkgbase signing keys for FreeBSD 15 These keys were generated by cperciva@ using the AWS Key Management Service. They will not be used for...

I'd wondered about this as well, but I can say that when I did a fresh install of a 15.0-STABLE snapshot last month the path in the fingerprints lines is /usr/share/keys/pkg.

The pkg tool and ports system are now fully functional, its just a matter of adding more ports, and fixing any edge cases or bugs that show up. FreeBSD can now become a fully immutable operating system if someone wanted that option. I have some...

Can package updates be pushed to repos without testing? Fedora's OBS ordeal had me asking questions :p obs-studio started fine for me on 16.0-CURRENT too a few days ago (March 2026; streamed Runescape)

Seems like i's trying to imitate online discussions :p And could make a double-edged sword; if something breaks because of incorrect AI response, one might hopefully be motivated to do traditional troubleshooting! Pft (I use Windows today...

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...

Invited adversaries might have more motivation after a while (banks/healthcare get paid to deal with that stuff uninvited :p)

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.

I use a Perixx Periboard 524 with Neo Bone layout (setxkbmap -layout de -variant bone) at home and a Logitech ERGO K860 for Business at work. The rubber dome keys on both boards are not as good as mechanical keys but I get a better angle for my...

Probably, but some homes have the internet coming in in a less than convenient spot with limited ability to run wire. Personally, I'm going to be getting a fiber optic kit as some of those these days can be run discretely along corners, but...

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.

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.

Call the priest with holy water, another AI lover boy

i told claude to rewrite git in cobol but it complains there is no sha1 in cobol and it is hard to use binary data. lazy bi*ch

Clearly not, header is public API, private function is in C code with static statement. A good implementation is the forth of #1 :oops: static void func1(void); static void func2(void); int main(void){} static void func1(void){} static void...

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.

They supply...something. It may or may not be correct. So far it has not been able to help me with setting up anything. I tried to set up Fedora to look at how they did something but AI failed to help. The worst thing is it acts so confident as...

I figure people want to run around like Jimmy Neutron and Invader Zim and their AI partners :p (former made theirs in-house real-world; latter even in Zim's case is more advanced than anything real-world today since it's alien tech) I don't like...

/whois <nick> will tell you what information the IRC server has on you. It typically includes the IP address where you connected from. Everyone on IRC can issue this command. Yeah, no. Going to need some form of contract for that. A legal...

Both vermaden and myself have pages. vermaden's is better, but my page has a link to his. Maybe one, or both of them could help. My page is https://srobb.net/vm-bhyve.html and the link to vermaden's page is...

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.

My obsessive mind is having a little bit of a problem coping with this thread being in "Feedback about the Forum" instead of "General," but I don't want to bother the admins directly, so I'm writing this post instead and maybe one of them will...

Here is the new ports.toml spec. Almost everything is optional. And I currently have 104 ports file including Qt5, Qt6, Gtk3, Gtk4, All the supported Build Sytems(cmake, meson, waf, b2, autotools, ...), Wayland, Mesa, Python and I am working on...

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...
