Stallman and the GPL the original masters of framing a prison cell as freedom.

16-current just replaced GNU diff3 with a BSD version. The only piece of GPLed software left in FreeBSD is now dialog/libdialog.

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

The compositor and the desktop supports multiple monitors now. And I just realized that monitor color settings are not the same. Lol ;)

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, and his exact words were “So white-collar work, where you’re sitting down at a computer, either being a lawyer or an accountant or a project manager or a marketing person — most of those tasks will be fully...

Then don't use it.

You would not kload it. Once it's installed if you run startx, then X should start. You might be better off with vm-bhyve, which automates some of it. Then you could use a template like loader="uefi" graphics="yes" xhci_mouse="yes" cpu=1...

Plank now, after having always used Tint2 :'‑( , with OpenBox I'm using also it with Polybar. One at the top, the other at the bottom. Vermaden has an excellent tutorial with dzen, conky (modified, etc.)

It's true, no chance the company I work for is going to pay an engineer six figures to write documentation, we give that shit to interns who we don't have to pay or can pay very little.

I hate writing documentation. We give that job to the people in the company no one trusts to write code.

I’ll watch it, but before I do I can tell you upfront that San Francisco is probably the reason for whatever he’s going through. I have a friend who lives there she has a PhD in psychology, and jobs are insanely hard to get or keep in that part...

It depends what you're doing with that writing. Personally, I tend to use Zim desktop wiki for such things, just because it makes things more organized and I don't intend to share it. But, if you're writing technical documentation, most of the...

The company I work for has a $25 million contract with OpenAI, which gives us access to models that aren’t available to the public. AI is insanely good at programming and teaching, but the versions the public pays to use are not the same ones...

Does it obey to all the rules in mdoc(7)?

C++ opens up all kinds of problems. On the overloads, I'm in no way or shape or form pro or contra. If the API library you're using uses them, you use them, plain and simple. Consider also operator overloads as something that is very concealing...

Hmmm, why doesn't ZFS use the crypto routines that are already in the FreeBSD and Linux kernels?

I do have. I would not trust it for writing a program, but for writing documentation is OK, I know what the program does and can check correctness of the description. The errors I mentioned are probably in the code examples, to be seen as typos...

Exactly. JSON was not created as a replacement or substitute for XML.

Thus the problem. There is an article online that says the free AI tools are not what company programmers use. Those types pay for the AI tools they use and that means hundreds of dollars a month. Even then the generated code has to be gone...

This is the version in OpenBSD, look at the license...

Very good chance. The legacy kernel screen was still the 80x25 hardware console. Kind of a loss. It's good to be able to look back until power-on.

I think it's more of a matter of taste or habit. Furthermore, comparisons should be made not only for the web and related documents, but also for other applications, using not only JavaScript as a yardstick (by the way, in vulpine's link doesn't...

I just used claude AI for writing a man page for a trivial, small script: https://chiselapp.com/user/hruodr/repository/Txl/dir?ci=tip I think I would never have done it without this help. I would not have wasted time. It would have remained...

I remember to scroll back to the bootloader output but I can't get there anymore. It seems to be removed. Maybe the kms graphics can't remember it after changing resoluton.

Don't do photos. Copy/paste the actual text.

There is a slight quirk here with inheritance. virtual void Employee::jump(); void Employee::jump(float _height); // Manager inherits Employee void Manager::jump(); You can't now do: Manager m; m.jump(9.0f); Weird huh? When a derived class...

Maybe the underlying problem in comp sci is that the focus has changed in newer generations from creating languages that encourage creativity, to restrictive languages that chase the latest "best programming paradigm", whatever that paradigm of...

That's not a problem. It's a feature.;)

The fix has been committed, so very soon we should all be able to install tint2 by pkg on CURRENT.

I'm going to mark this solved. Those of you who use tint2 have probably noticed it's been updated to 2.17.

Well, diff3 was actually a whoopy to replace. The problem is solves is difficult and some serious comp-sci is involved.

I wonder when the scary admin will appear out of the shadows and send this thread to off-topic.

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...

Function parameter overloading takes care of the following API syntax struct user * find_by_name(const char *name) struct user * find_by_id(unsigned id) into user * find(const char *name) user * find(unsigned id) I think the way GCC...

From what I understand of the issue that was fixed (FreeBSD-EN-25:10.zfs), the problem was not in the encryption engine itself, but in the handling of non-raw send streams for encrypted datasets. In other words, the AES-GCM encryption layer was...

So you think those messages get recorded in /var/log ?? That was the obvious place to look.

No, function overloading by parameter type is not polymorphism. Polymorphism is when the same function (with the same parameters) is implemented different in different derived classes. For example: The base class Animal has a function...

That's not a problem. It's a feature.;)

No, those messages are not written to dmesg. The messages you see during the very early boot phase (loader, BTX, and early kernel initialization) are printed directly to the console before the kernel message buffer is initialized. Because of...

I really think this thread can help if the OP tells us what is "needed". That's kind of the starting point. They talk about this on a server: my experience with servers is "I want to have a couple terminal windows open so I can compare, maybe...

Thanks gatekeeper for porting 86Box. I used to build/run it manually but before writing this tutorial :)

Nice :-) What a great tutorial! You might also want to check out here: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAcaQiq14yw It includes configuration of X, and also configuration of LAN. Since this video, I ported 86Box to FreeBSD so that you can...

Do the messages which are highlighted during the boot process get written anywhere? I'm talking about messages such as start FB_INFO and the following block. dmesg does not show such messages. Is there some way to get them recorded?
