IIRC, you can thank Sony for that. People used to have PS3 based clusters that may not have hit the top of the list like that, but could likely have scaled to something rather monstrous.

We had this point already somewhere.
When i recall corretcly, the point simply is, if you(r browser) don't identify with some "commonly known and accepted" OS, then many websites simply refuse to work correctly, or block you complelety.
Just pulled the latest update. The issue I reported is resolved. This is testing on my VM at work. I will test on my home computer with multi-monitor this weekend.
I'm looking to treat this as a closed problem. Every line of code is accounted for. This is not a huge project but not particularly trivial either. I'm not looking to complicate it any more than it has to be. Any program around a given API is...
This is pretty exciting - watching a new WM enjoy a public launch with enthusiastic elbow checkers / adopters climbing on board.

Great, the last update fixed the behavior of windows with multiple monitors. Thank you! 🤝👍
However, I noticed another problem: when I work with multiple monitors, I can't embed xclock into the panel.
I was on 27mc packet radio in Eurooe long ago. There's not much left of it, afaik. The bandwidth goes in bytes per second...
At some point truckers started buying break devices to bug the protocol of bidirectional radio links on their channels.
I am using, in this case, an FTDI UART to mini-din 6 pin. The radio is set up for a minimal type of CAT. It works under Windoze, but not yet under FreeBSD. I am getting extremely disgusted with Windows and am trying, desperately, to move...
Yes. An FTDI UART with a minidin 6 on the rig end. I had been using a similar cable which used that problematic Prolific chip. I managed to work around that POS, but decided to move over to the FTDI instead.
The above works with Flrig under...
Not sure, but the serial interface seems to be based on CP210x chip series. Try to load uslcom

Ha ha! No. You can do that yourself. :D
I have been a ham since I was 13 years old in 1956. I am 83 now. We use the internet for information exchange and discovery, but have no need to use it to communicate with. We prefer just good old Radio...
As a separate shoutout (sorry, I don't know how to help you with the the actual problem) - how cool is ham radio internet? That's, like, 10 times better than TOR. Is there a world wide ham radio web? Can you hook us all up?
I'm not sure I understand your setup here.
Does it look like this:
"C", a single FreeBSD system
"R", a Rig Blaster connected to "C" via USB cable
"F", an FT-890 connected to "C" via USB cable

I actually combatted an earlier price range by lowering my speed. I forget the figures, but the lessening of speed didn't have any noticeable effect. As we all know in the US, there's no real competition.

What makes a USB device bootable depends on whether the system is using legacy BIOS or UEFI, but in both cases the firmware must find valid boot structures on the device.
In legacy BIOS mode the USB must contain a valid MBR in the first 512...

What makes a USB device bootable?
I know you have to enable BIOS for booting from USB, but I often find that some devices don't show up and sometimes they show up but you can't boot from them.
If they do show up, does mean you should be able to...
scottro Spectrum raised my internet rate, too, by five dollars with no notice. Spectrum gives a good rate on phone, too, that includes international calling when I travel. Phone usage is all Verizon. But that means I'm stuck with Spectrum should...
Yes, they (spectrum) just raised our rate. (NYC). However, my wife has realized she doesn't use the TV, so we'll be able to save a bit by getting rid of that part of it.
I don't know if it's still around but there's also Nomad BSD which is meant to go on a USB stick. It uses openbox, a more minimalistic window manager. But glancing again over the thread, I think I'd agree with many here. There's a ton of Linux...
Try a DE from the most unique computer you have (High DPI/res, touchscreen, 2-in-1); that's what had me choose GNOME back around 2014 (Plasma 5 didn't have an on-screen keyboard; GNOME was consistent everywhere)

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...

First, I have installed FreeBSD ver 15.0-RELEASE and the Lumina desktop. Mouse and keyboard are USB and are recognized and are working correctly. I am trying, almost desperately, to get a completely operable system fully outside of Windows. FYI...
You could install a few desktops. Don't use gdm, kdm, sddm, dtlogin or any other XDM-like utility. Just use xdm. Now create your own .xsession file with the following:
