The IP (202.4.48.211, until DNS disappeared) belongs to Vodafone Samoa: <isp@vodafone.com.ws> is the abuse address. Note: it's a dynamic IP address, scam sites get hosted on dial-ups or trojaned home PC's a lot. The actual owner/operator will be...

The two spaces only appear after a period that terminates a sentence. Not after one for an abbreviation. That is how you tell the two cases apart.

There are a lot of commercial scientific packages in Fortran that will never be re-written. They get deployed with Kubernetes now, but they are Fortran nontheless.

Now wait a minute. I have no way of knowing but I'd bet it's talked about online. I'm pretty sure Fortran is used in a lot of scientific (at least) programming on modern software somewhere. Perhaps in a university setting or highly mysterious...

So the seller was not Amazon, it was a third-party seller on Amazon? Did they send anything at all, like a brick? Or no package arrived?

This extends the range, not limit it. Smaller prefix -> bigger range. Similar to IPv4, a /16 is a bigger subnet (i.e. more host addresses) than a /24.

Create a port for it, and let the port create the package. Rename the configuration file to *.sample and in your pkg-plist you define it as a "sample" file. This is from security/sudo/pkg-plist for example: @sample etc/sudo.conf.sample This...

Just to jump in, we've never had problems returning things to Amazon or get things fixed when something's gone missing.

Sometimes, engineers think they are smarter than everybody else and end up making very silly decisions. The fact that POSIX standards define the end of a sentence as needing two spaces after the period is asinine, regardless of the technical...

Unless it's absolutely required syntax, I don't double-space. I saw a few apps that did it but thought they were exceptions and didn't know it was a standard :p

I wasn't realistically expecting a refund (was a digital game DLC and well past 30 days), but a human on chat told me they'd put it through. Didn't get it days later, and later chat told me that previous rep was mistaken 😆

Hrmm...I was always taught--perhaps by my mother, perhaps by my 8th grade typing teacher in the 60's--to put two spaces after a period. I do it here as well. As for God, when I was talking to Her the other day, She mentioned that you sometimes...

Please let me explain, cheap package , never received. Amazon keeps me in A.I. loop. Staffing telephone cost them more. But honnest, NO. -Cannot contact vendor -No e-mail address of vendor -No telephone of vendor -No address of vendor Not able...

I agree with Alain De Vos. Firstly Bezos is garbage. He makes workers there miserable--from what I read, white collar as well as in the warehouses. The money saved by treating them like that is not something that he couldn't afford. For me, the...

Yes have this same experience. But Amazon did not allowed in this specific case , on there interface to contact vendor. Got vendor information different. Send an E-mail. Will come back when i have more information. The thing is i personally...

No problems with Amazon. Had some packages disappear, not be delivered at least. Got refunded fairly quickly. They don't do this in the Netherlands, and I presume not in Belgium either. Delivery will send you back to Amazon, as receiver you...

I have reported this as a bug. Bugzilla

kbdmap in console, x11/setxkbmap and FreeBSD documentation book.

I have no difficulties reaching Amazon customer service via chat. Amazon deliveries here have photos where you hopefully recognize your house.

I just tested it using acpiconf -s 3 and it worked OK.

One thing which I can do in Windows is click on Language preferences and I get a popup which allows me to switch to a different keyboard setup appropriate to a specific language. Is there an equivalent option in FreeBSD?

I use lxde and always used to have a ~/.config/lxsession which contained an autostart file, but when upgrading to 15.0 lxsession no longer appears automatically. Could this be related to some changes in XDG?

Yeah, that's generally a bad idea, intentionally breaking something can give you some great insights though 😁

Below is what I have within the Session area of my /etc/pam.d/system file, so it looks like the last line is taking care of that for me? # session #session optional pam_ssh.so want_agent session required pam_lastlog.so...

Got some help to configure the route to the default gateway: ifconfig_vtnet0="inet a.a.a.a netmask 255.255.255.255" ifconfig_vtnet0_alias0="inet b.b.b.b netmask 255.255.255.255" static_routes="lan" route_lan="-host 172.31.1.1 -interface vtnet0"...

It's a bit of a long winded process, but as I remember you need to first upgrade from 13.2 to the latest release of 13.x which I think is 13.5. After that, I can't remember if you can go straight to 15.0 or if you need to upgade to 14.3 first...

Really? It's not that difficult. fetch https://gitlab.com/alfix/kde-installer-dialogs/-/raw/main/desktop

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...
