Here is a tinier version! $ cat imp.c # imp for impersonate #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #define _s(x) #x #define s(x) _s(x) int main(int c, char**v) { char* e = 0; if (c < 2) e = "Usage: imp cmd [args]"; else if...

I will try using it instead of doas, which is specific to FreeBSD, without using ports. I really like this.

I've been using mdo for a month now. It does all I need as a simpler sudo replacement. Realizing this, I just ran $ mdo pkg remove sudo

I hope this hasn't already been posted, I did a search on 'Phoenix' but didn't find any related hits. It's a bit out of date. https://linuxiac.com/phoenix-emerges-as-a-modern-x-server-written-from-scratch-in-zig/ This one looks like a clean-room...

My beef with C++ is that the amount of writings you have to consume to just use many of there features. Obviously for this you don't read the lawyerisms. The point being that the purely practical side is large.

I'm finding certain things don't work correctly with it. Trivial things, for instance a script that goes sudo something sudo alsothis, and if I change it to mdo -i something alsothis, it won't start to do the script till I exit. Also finding a...

I don't believe it. If the product prices duplicate due to lack of supply, adding production capacity can't be a problem. The problem is not needing remote services because the PC at home does most of what's required. The scarcity is fabricated...

This looks like a situation where FOSS institutions need to band together and get some crowdfunding for legal advice. If writing software is a means of self-expression, does dictating how it should be written and what it must contain amount to a...

Same as usual: - https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2020/10/30/realtek-usb-wifi-review/ I did not found anything better since then ...

Unfortunately using at the moment a motherboard without PCI, otherwise I have two good PCI cards. Terrible.

I'm using a PCI AR9462 ― if it helps in the aspect of chipset. Works very reliably with good speed, just checked with speedtest: Download: 165.09 Mbps Upload: 103.38 Mbps

Following on from SirDice message, possibly you were thinking of linprocfs(4) which is a Linux specific proc compat useful for the Linux Emulation layer.

Indeed. And i worked with java, when garbage collector tells, i have no time to work for you to reclaim memory, you have a big problem. In other cases garbage collection, can be fun. No need for deconstructors, manual memory management.

-XX:+UseSerialGC ran Runescape better than anything (Parallel, G1, ZGC, Shenandoah; I tried a lot of random stuff to try not use Serial up to Java 25 but it was like a 20 FPS difference :p)

I am using it right now, but it is slow, 1R1T. It is indeed the best in OpenBSD also. But I need it for my Desktop, not laptop, I need something faster.

Ok. Ada. Databases. Why in the world would an airframe need to access a database? Inputs, outputs to controls, best 3 out of 5 guide the delta change in the flaps. No need for a mysql query. Garbage collection. That always makes me think...

Can someone recommend a Wlan USB Stick that works good with FreeBSD 14? g / n? The one I am using, Ralink, behaves unreliable with the new AP (Router). Note that the chipset is the important part, devices with the same model may have different...

Also is useful to enable PHP log file in php.ini (if not already enabled)

There are Universities that begin / began with a functional languages. I am not computer scientist, I learned first to program the pocket calculator, later FORTRAN, took a lecture on computer architecture (real computer, without...

I'm not sure how common knowledge it is, but Stroutrup himself defined exceptions as "just another generic mechanism of program execution", not for the explicit and exclusive use of catching errors/exceptions. It seems that the restrictions on...

Interesting. I recall in one of his books(?) he mentioned that using an exception to escape a deeply nested loop was "cute" but then went on to discuss other approaches to doing so. I have no idea which though... It was certainly an earlier one...

host is in base.

The obvious way is to define and use a custom shell functionmain() { ./prompt -a 1 -b 2 -c 3 -d 4 }so any long parameter list is in one place only. This can be abbreviated even further:eval ${1:+yes |} exec ./prompt foo bar able Are you sure...

Good to see you find some languages not interesting, Alain.

The point is that in other languages setting up exceptions is much more expensive than in C++, and actually throwing them is relatively cheaper. Common Lisp is an example. Sadly.

Just don't use exceptions for regular flow control. Apart from bad style it is also horribly slow to actually throw exceptions (as opposed to just setting them up). This is also unique to C++, the fact that unthrown exceptions are very fast...

94970 goto to 5990 uniques label, top 10 gives a serious clue about what goto is used for: 14543 err 14159 out 7788 fail 5162 end 4774 done 3715 cleanup 3663 error 1707 bad 1016 Exit 766 failed

Disabling Skia and enabling HW acceleration on Windows LibreOffice was a cool trick; latest surprised me a bit by not allowing it :p Changelog covered it though: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/26.2#Graphics Skia/HW-disabled...

Use tmux

So am I. They allow writing code much more clearly, because correct error raising and handling becomes either very concise (just say throw Exception('foo bar wen wrong')), or even invisible (most functions don't need try/catch blocks, because...

Not a problem. My italian is limited to counting to 10 as my Sicilian grandfather taught me.

I'm compiling some code from an Area51 repo just to get to KDE 6.6.0. Official FreeBSD repos are still on KDE 6.5.5 at this time.

xterm -geometry 1920x1200+0+0 work for me. Milkytracker save the window resolution if it's used in fullscreen with a WM, it start in fullscreen without WM. blender -W also work

Windowmaker can do what you want. Right click on titlebar, then you can choose window attributes and have options to switch off all window decorations including borders, and you can set 'start maximised'. The next time you start the program it...

wmCalClock, wmnd :)

Ok let me first depict what is the target. The program 86Box is an emulator that has a static non resizable window with a menu, toolbar, and virtual machine graphics output - the window size will be at the resolution of the emulated display *...

I'm a big fan of exceptions. And its often annoying that a lot of "safety" subsets always tend to think that the language is magically safer without them (sometimes it is but not always). That said, I have seen some crappy parsers throw...

In C++ you also have lambdas that can help you do a "double-break" to get out of nested loops in one step. But it doesn't work for nested lambdas :)

C++ is the favored language of pedantic language laywers

Defer is useful for dealing with temporary stuff. e.g "sharedVar.Lock(); defer sharedVar.Unlock()". Not when you want an effect to persist past a function return. If for example you must return 3 open files from a function or none in case of...

nslookup is in port bind-tools.

Maybe dig? (I used that a few times)

Just for my own clarification, can someone explain how all the functions refer to each other since I'm not clear how to identify an individual host or its location. I notice that FreeBSD does not include nslookup. Why is that? What to use...

My bad. I apologize. It was a stupid post on my part.

Turns out I haven't got relay_domains set - using virtual_alias_domains instead! Once I pointed fast_flush_domains to that it worked! Thanks for all your help.

I transcended typical window buttons :p
