This week-end, I installed FreeBSD on one of my homelabs and tried to run llama.cpp inferences on it. TL;DR: Almost there! Actually, with recent GPU, it may already be usable. My Hardware I have two homelabs with strictly identical hardware so...

Let us know how it goes. It has been some time since somebody had CUDA running through the Linuxulator. Good thinking about Vulkan instead of CUDA. I'll have to try that.

Try a different approach: install and start X.org, then go to another console and start the programs you would like to have on screen all tthe time backgrounded. I have only X.org and openbox with a keyboard-oriented configuration file. No icons...

Host needs to be running the Xserver. Keep in mind X11 applications are clients, they connect to the Xserver. So in order for X11 applications to run through X forwarding, the host (from where you are running ssh -X ...) has to have the Xserver...

MG if you saw the COBOL jokes earlier, function overloading is very much the opposite. Consider the overloaded operator + that works on integers of different sizes both signed and unsigned, and floats, and doubles. If you've ever added two...

Talk about off topic. Surely there must be a forum around that would have more people knowledgeable about that.

Sorry, thought it said VirtualBox. In any case, it'll work with bhyve but you must UEFI boot the VM and enable the graphics/VNC console. Then you can use the scfb video driver for Xorg.

Reading this thread as C++ noob, isn't it supposed to be that way because of OOP polymorphism support? That was long ago for me. I never used it because it kind of targets group projects but for only 1 person, it's too much irrelevant code and...

It shouldn't be necessary. I see from another post that you're not using vm-bhyve, which is all I'm familiar with, but at any rate, to get X running on a FreeBSD VM, I install xorg-server, xf86-input-libinput, xf86-video-scfb xinit (which...

I'm in the market for a new phone, following this thread with interest.

What you want is called xdmcp, to be able to login directly on a login manager that use Xorg and that support this protocol.

termux should do.

Can you try with a non-root user?

I started off with xfce4 when I first started with FreeBSD because it seemed to be the easiest to install, but after a few years I found that it provided many things I didn't want or need and eventually decided on lxde which is much simpler and...

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...

This is another version of the script that finds source code for FreeBSD base system utilities. Post the about first version of this script. Original post with discussion about src(1) from Plan9. This version has the same interface and behaviour...

not very useful but fun (and benchmark) posix shell (sh) implementation of Conway's game of life by default uses the whole terminal area. i get 60 FPS on a vm hosted by mac mini m4 (30x100) terminal #!/bin/sh frame=0 recal=0 start=$(date +%s)...

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...
