It's available in the ports tree (x11/bitmap).

Use the mailing lists. There are very few developers here.

What's running usually? It sounds like a memory leak. Process growing over time until everything clogs by out of memory and swapspace.

It's coming. I quit throwing away old computers. The old hardwired stuff like AT and 8-bit machines are even more special now. In Europe it's too silent around this. Quite sure they are all in to protect US big tech, what this is about. Most...

yes, but only clients, who already get configuration before error. my new clients fail apply config :(

There's a thread on something similar going on in Brazil. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/practical-suggestions-for-resolving-the-brazilian-problem.101913/ I kind of think as has been said earlier in this thread, it's MS and friends...

I have a Laptop with an Intel Atom Z3735F CPU and since FreeBSD now supports installation for 32-bit UEFI, it is installable on that machine and actually works like a charm, booting fast and using few resources. Unfortunately, FreeBSD does...

My great-grandfather sadly died at the age of 99-3/4. He had lived by himself (in a 5th floor apartment) for dozens of years. He liked to drink Schnapps (old German), smoke cigars, and play the guitar. And make dirty jokes. He hated most of the...

Dijkstra was all about putting more rigor into programming. Harlan D. Mills, too. The current trend of vibe coding would have driven them nuts.

I don't feel this law is truly enforceable but if they do, our packages system (being a centralised system) could be at risk but our ports collection would not be considering FreeBSD as a vendor so likely to be fine?

I've seen that error too. But it doesn't prevent puppet from working though.

FreeBSD and most *NIX operating systems doesn't have accounts, just users/groups and home folders. The term "account creation" is meaningless in this context.

Hello world :-) For anyone having this issue some hints below, this may not be related to packages but local configuration :-) I hope this helps and if you find any information incomplete let me know. It would be nice to add PulseAudio section...

It is worth noting that the same mechanism which prevents misuse of minority owned business tags by racists will also prevent the misuse of this mandate by pedophiles in search of verified children.

Thanks this did not fix my problem but it did lead me to this: build@daredevil:/usr $ ls -la lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 18 Feb 23 15:14 bin -> /.bastille/usr/bin I'm guessing that /usr/bin/ being a symlink my be the issue as mdo is actually at...

The folks at Fedora have some interesting comments at https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/california-age-verification/. Canonical had released a statement that they were implementing age verification then retracted it. As I said in the...

So does it just stop when you run out till you pay up?

My personal favorite; install x11/slim and x11-themes/slim-themes. Edit /usr/local/etc/slim.conf, change current_theme: # current theme, use comma separated list to specify a set to # randomly choose from current_theme fbsd Because we...

It's just the f-word, unlike the s-word that has killed so many people across history.

And it is still lure-in prices, they're still supported by state grants and whatnot. I will gladly use them for sporadic stuff in their online chat form as long as they're free. I have a hunch that people who overly rely on agent-assisted...

I saw that earlier, but didn't have a chance to get a source for it. This is in some ways a much bigger deal than in the US where the laws are likely to get tossed. I'm pretty ignorant about how exactly the legal system down there works as it's...

Like I said, IANAL, but it is worth keeping in mind that it's unlikely that this will actually be constitutional in the US. And it's questionable as to whether they could extend it to developers that are writing code on other sections of the OS...

I just started with Anthropic myself, so I do not know yet. They certainly don't bump you up to the higher plan automatically. In github copilot (now canceled) I had surprise extra charges from when I apparently selected premium models to answer...

Yep. The key word here is moderation.

As my grandfather said (he made it 101): a little bit of everything. Basically don't over indulge in anything. You want cake? Have slice of cake not the whole thing. Wine? have a glass, not a bottle.

I hadn't thought about that. Was getting ready to give it a try soon so that's good to know. Do they automatically bill you for that or do they just shut you down till you pay?

I guess you didn't read this bit of the California law: (b) (1) A developer shall request a signal with respect to a particular user from an operating system provider or a covered application store when the application is downloaded and...

It is more complex. Google's Gemini-powered Antigravity IDE wiped out a whole filesystem, famously. If you run inside Emacs in gptel it is my understanding that the LLM cannot access anything outside. I have no idea what the native Claude Code...

It is a proper e-sport.

pkg-install disagrees: -y, --yes Assume yes when asked for confirmation before package installation. This one's useful too: ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES # env ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES=YES pkg install -y ipmitool Updating dicelan...

That's been my experience too.

Until now, all AI development aid systems that I have seen take more time than doing the development for real. I didn't look for some time. Can it already make a working Qbasic Tetris game?

https://claude.ai/install.sh doesn't look too complex (looks like OS checks; if there's a native FreeBSD binary somewhere it looks like you can just mkdir and toss it there?) I'm not sure if that's really the new installer, but...

I dont want to brag, but hey not for everyone, i'm luckely retired, walks at 6u30 in morning, one hour after midnight i can do. But which this not for everyone, needs attention, same time give alot of love. And Labradors, you must have one to know.

Why can't the AI figure out how to do a port of itself?

Maybe it is sufficient and much easier to move the post box of the foundation to, say, Geneva?

Yeah, you can fetch a ports tree using various techniques, but you cannot convert one method to the other. So the simplest solution is to delete and recreate. Originally poudriere-ports defaulted to using portsnap, but that tool has since been...

IANAL, but from what I remember from the business law class I took, unless the developers live in CA, or at least have assets there, there isn't really anything that can be done to developers outside the US. They could potentially convict/fine...

That's not how I read it. I think every application has to check the age and then see whether any of its actions have an age verification applied to them. In that case the local chess game would have to check which age groups are permitted to...

Thank you so much. It's simple when you know how! It's years since I built the ports tree and I'd quite forgotten where it came from.

Just delete that ports tree (poudriere ports -d -p local) and create a fresh new one (poudriere ports -c -p local).
