According to ChatGPT, the most reliable method (Works 99%) of getting PC-DOS 2000 iso installed on a USB stick is by using Rufus... So I dug out an old Windows disk, I'd forgotten how horrendous Windows is, and eventually managed to find a...

This is the logo concept I like; however, I would need permission from the FreeBSD Foundation before I could officially use it.

Website Development & Domain I chose the domain name osforge.org to evoke a place where developers can shape their own vision of FreeBSD. The goal is to allow users to hand-pick their desktop shell, compositor, panels, docks, file manager, and...

Original article here. Consider this when replying. The second BETA build for the FreeBSD 14.4 release cycle is now available. ISO images for the amd64, i386, powerpc, powerpc64, powerpc64le, powerpcspe, armv7, aarch64, and riscv64 architectures...

vgl(3) is no longer working since FreeBSD moved to vt (from syscons). I am working on an alternative (glass) but frankly it doesn't sound like you want this anyway, these are for running Doom directly in the console without X11. Doom is mostly...

Anybody who wants to know what websites break if you put FreeBSD into the user agent string can just use an extension to change it. Available for Chrome and Firedfox.

I owned the Original Macintosh "FAT MAC". No really! It was called the Fat Mac :cool: -- so I had 512KB ! (Link): Wikipedia Fat Mac To really maximize things you also had to have the (internal) 3 1/2 floppy (AND!) the external 3 1/2 floppy...

Yea like me answering the same questions for you over and over..... I am still not 100% sure you are not AIChatbot V1.

I promise I'm not an AI bot. balanga fetch https://forums.freebsd.org/search/487826/?c[users]=balanga&o=date Not exactly what you asked but it's a start.

Yes I am aware of this, it's just that I would like to download it rather than having to scroll through hundreds of pages.

Now at 147.0.4,2 pkg version. This is my mess-around computer It was just an example of firefox output that I saw while using it, while there's no problem, and it doesn't show any related program component. Can we have a function name or line...

I found and tossed some HTML tags around for a basic status page! This website is also pretty inspirational 🤣

It would be up to technical users / developers to lead the way. Most software engineers have terrible web dev skills, usually a plain text website. If they could normalize on HTML4 rather than some random github pages / wordpress blog, we could...

It was Mastodon for the record.

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.

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...

Maybe a missing dependency. It builds succesfully anyway and it doesn't talk about any problems in the console output, apart from the common useless information overload. JavaScript error...

I have a note for my wiki working best on Firefox :p (it's legit for Chrome not plaintext copy/pasting) I kind-of like the idea of advertising my coolness to anyone paying attention in logs :cool: (I like to think my settings don't allow blatant...

This forum is bad in Firefox. All links have negative color and must be selected to read. Browsers as total solution are a scam. We have a collection of supported web standards. The intrusive advertisiing infrastructure has no business with it...

Check again - it is not X/Twitter.

2 popups? That can't be worth it.

We call them lazy, incompetent fools. We never cared about geolocation, OS, or much of anything else. Never looked for it. If you had the cash (credit card) we'd accept your money. We tested in all the major browsers and many of the lesser used...

covacat Thank you again! You inspired me to write a script that behaves like src(1) in Plan9 and reads the debug data. Here's the post about it in 'Useful scripts' thread.

{ if ($2 == "Abbrev" ) { if($5 == "(DW_TAG_compile_unit)") on = 1; else on = 0; next; } if (!on) next; if($2 == "DW_AT_name") { src = $NF; sub("/[^/]*$","",src); if (match(src,"/usr/src/lib/")) next; if (dirs[src]) next...

People can self-host decentralized empires, but choose Facebook and NextCloud in Docker :p

Sure. Silence is a response. If I refuse to vote for i.e a local MP, it is a measurable value that "I am not fond of any specific (likely criminal) candidate". If I vote for a random candidate, it just adds to the noise. If next election I vote...

Just about anything of that vintage was never fun. There were some projects that you could do with them, but they're slow enough that it's a limited number of projects. I was using one for a while to run Pi-hole. With Linux, I never though about...

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. It's not clear to me whether the difference between a...

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.

See uftdi.

I stand corrected. Well, it looks like ZFS committed a fix.

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. I'm not sure if you are all that aware doa379 , that you really don't have anything akin to a Ron Popeil, "Set it...

Thanks all for the feedback. There are a number of significant correctness updates coming in the next few rc's.

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.

In my case, I have to install xf86-video-scfb to get video.

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...

What USB modem are you using?

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...
