It looks like GRANDACCESSINVESTMENT.COM has disappeared. Unfortunately I can't remember the IP address they were using so I'd like to see if the website is still around. Is there some way to find out? Earlier in this thread it mentioned...

programmers are real, unless declared integer.

Another great use of mtree is in tar: An input file in mtree(5) format can be used to create an output archive with arbitrary ownership, permissions, or names that differ from existing data on disk...

Real programmers don't exist in real life. They are all bots.

Real programmers don't write FORTRAN. https://users.cs.utah.edu/~elb/folklore/mel.html

That's like saying "I'll learn some C++."

Code is all that matters. I see there have been commits in the github repositories for this in fall. I better check that out.

See this long-standing 274743. At worst, need waiting for PORT_LLVM option to be always default and never be (means, "at least theoretically" cannot be made) broken. And this 292101 could be matter, too. Using Rust for ports are fine. But to...

Yes, I know at least Rust uses LLVM backend, but it's NOT the same as upstream LLVM project's one itself. This is the fatal problem. Near-fatal is that LLVM project themselves does NOT releasing Rust frontend. These should cause significant...

And this is where we wrap around to C being the lingua franca of programming. No matter what language you write in, if you want to talk to anything that isn't your language, you must speak some dialect of C. C has become more than a language, it...

i have been using pfsense for a while now. I was running OMV on a hp microserver and moved that to a a8-5500 system. I have since migrated from OMV to freebsd and just flabbergasted how much faster it is. I have a 60TB server that is still...

Me too! For the folks who aren't busy threatening children on their lawns, the first non-business computers most folks had in their homes were known as "home computers". They typically came as all-in-one units which connected to a television...

FreeBSD was installed on my work PC (which had an AMD K5 CPU) in 1997. I've loved and used it since, and "maintain" a few ports. How I used to install it: How you know where it ran: I read the book: I'm not shy about promotion (but...

Opening braces belong into a new line. Ever.

Alpine Linux does not use systemd. It was the most commonly used distro for Docker containers for a while. I dunno or care if that's still the case. True dat. Lennart and his acolytes are at least at good at politics as they are at computer...

With pencil, paper and card punch?

And then maintain the fork? Given the velocity of changes coming in to Gnome? You and what army? Sorry to correct you, but Gnome has announced that beginning with the next version of Systemd, there will be more and harder dependencies on...

A BSD licensed, Qt rewrite of gnome-panel would be much more sustainable IMO. Leave the GTK/GNOME/systemd mess, its shit UX, and its terrible community to Redhat.

The biggest problem for me with systemd is logging. No text file logging, binary files and error messages like a Windows BSOD. Trying to remember some new command to dump a binary log instead of "cat/grep/tail" (which are usually builtins even...

Use Arch for years. Never reinstall on the same computer. But need to make update regularly. One time per week at least. Never use rolling release OS on a server...

Yes, I haven't messed around with it a lot, but my initial look at it was promising.

You might give it another look. Modern Fortran, Fortran 90, Fortran 2003, Fortran 2008, and later versions, has grown up to be a pretty sweet language. There is even a CUDA Fortran compiler, originally by PGI, but now part of the NVIDIA HPC SDK...

And standing in line waiting to use the only card punch on the floor to make corrections.

Facebook/WhatsApp.... I know, I know.... big mistake.

Original article here. Consider this when replying. FreeBSD, The FreeBSD Foundation, and The FreeBSD Forums are not associated with the content of this article.

I don't know if I'll be able to commit it, one of the dependency requires an old version of devel/gn, the newer one is incompatible and probably impossible to workaround. I understand your concern about security, keep in mind that signal-desktop...

With pencil and paper.

Ok, rebooted without issue. Once again thanks to all, marking this solved. For whatever reason, it required the line FreeBSD-base: { enabled: yes } in FreeBSD.conf and having it in FreeBSD-base.conf didn't do it. <shrug>. But all is working and...

AND.... I went to the machine that updated correctly and copied its /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf to the machine giving me problems. bakul, I saw that in that file, (the FreeBSD.conf) it had FreeBSD-base: { enabled: yes } at the top. So...

It's been about 40 years since I last did any Fortran.

Thanks but that FreeBSD-base: { enabled: yes } is what I have now and that gives me the result I mentioned, No repositories enabled. My ports stanza is the same as the one you show.

On a pkgbase installed machine I have the following in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf (*almost* the same as what Zare shows) I have just the following in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf and no other files in that directory. Try this!

This is from my 15.0p4 which has been reinstalled, so no pkgbasify, it's pkgbase from start. /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf # # To disable a repository, instead of modifying or removing this file, # create a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf file...

Comparing the the machine that is working, I'm wondering if my /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf should read FreeBSD-base: { url: "pkg+https://pkgbase.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/base_release_0", mirror_type: "srv", signature_type...

I knew a guy who was using a matrix printer as CLI stdout because he still had to forge the display tube connector for it. It was some sort of fortran/shell input loop thing. Must have been 1 of them They are extremely rare.

I'm wondering if the problem is that the FreeBSD-base.conf just reads enabled: yes without any servers listed. In /usr/share/bsdinstall/FreeBSD-base.conf it gives a url and such.

This is from my 15.0p4 which has been reinstalled, so no pkgbasify, it's pkgbase from start. /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf # # To disable a repository, instead of modifying or removing this file, # create a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf file...

Hrrm, I just did that. Now I know I messed up somewhere because I ran pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-base and I get a message of No repositories are enabled So I'm not sure now where to enable FreeBSD-base. As I wrote above, it's supposedly enabled in...

Just in case, did you use pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-base?

I got tempted and got a book after an early-access game denied me a beta key (apparently too big to hand out freebies even though I only heard of that game once in these forums :p)

This guy does FreeBSD, I tell ya

Vim I also started to appreciate the advantages of pure vi. It's hard to get into it. You'll need to force yourself to do it. But it's worth it. If you really do much editing, particulary coding, take my advice and at least try it. It's not...

I decent pencil is a literal heirloom. I love em.

I use a simple fountain pen. The ball pen generation yell at me. I am totally not surprised.

Dutch and German have the same roots, and for me the first reading was  Belästigungsdienst, which means "bothering service". Quite a good match, yes?

drhowarddrfine Cancelling a gym membership seems to as difficult as a real photo of the Loch Ness monster.

This is a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) template essentially a starter application. The mixer panel and the arrangement view are built as components, and the entire application itself functions as a template. I recently had to begin rewriting...
