    Sounds as if you're using the older fcitx rather than fcitx5. (I think FreeBSD only has mozc with fcitx, and with fcitx5 you have to use anthy) To quote my own page https://srobb.net/jpninpt.html about FreeBSD and fcitx (as opposed to fcitx5

    It's backslash with me always. I mostly notice what happens. If things stop working suddenly, that's a typo in 1 of the last files. You could use the locate-db to scan all files with shell code and check the first line,

    Is there any way to tell if CUPS can actually see my printer? The printer is connected by a USB cable.

    You're supposed to copy/paste these to a prompt, the # of root's prompt kind of adds a layer of protection, as it's interpreted by the shell as a remark. It prevents accidentally copy/pasting something utterly destructive as root. Think it's...

    Yes, I know they are prompts, but when you are copying and pasting them they are a pain. I just noticed a little icon that copies the code to your clipboard. Is that a recent addition?

    This problem is update and upgrade related and this post should have been in another forum. In the update from FreeBSD 12 to 14 there were (new?) xorg.conf files in default search path in /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf when there were old...

    Indeed. In embedded, the freestanding C++ standard is quite common. Things like Zephyr let you drag in small subsets of STL as seen fit. The STL gets so much wrong in terms of safety that at work we tend to avoid it for lots of things. Actually...

    In fact most of the std is useless and prohibited in embedded. The C++ standard library is awful mess. C stdlib gets flak for unsafe functions and undefined behaviour but that's just because people don't understand what type of shit C++ std is...

    Perhaps too complicated for today's AI, but it is also pattern matching, the phrase "code documentation system" is a pattern, otherwise it would not exist, and new means apply chaos to find something else than the "c++ code documentation systems"...

    Then that nonsense starts to evolve and converges into meaning. I am curios what AI would come up with If I asked it to create a new c++ code documentation system.

    I disagree in my culture nothing I said was out of line or even odd. It would be like me getting upset at you for expressing things you find odd in your culture.

    This whole thing has been on topic. It's about AI how did you expect it was going to go?

    hruodr replied to the thread AI for writing documentation.
    You are adding geography, a parameter that has no influence in the phenomenon. AI would have probably not done it. Perhaps the reason is that you expend too much time at work with top engineers and do not have contact with normal people.

    When you create a jail with poudriere, it copies the host's /etc/resolv.conf. Looks like you may have created those jails when your host's /etc/resolv.conf was a bit dodgy. You can set an alternative file it should copy to the jails (at creation)...
