I thought that you were going to ask for assembler programmers rather than one of those fancy new high level languages.

What about web and database server?

The nextcloud package should already depend on what's required. So I think there is no need to install extra package unless told.

Am finally going to install Nextcloud. Can anyone tell me if these are the requireds pkgs for Nexcloud (using Postgresql)? pkg install nextcloud postgresql16-server apache24 php82 php82-pgsql php82-gd php82-curl php82-zip php82-mbstring...

So for Anthropic Claude it is like this: - No API keys at all for the monthly plans. You pay extra for API key usage - Monthly plans can only be used from provided interfaces, hence no API keys - usage limits for plans are undocumented, flexible...

I don't if this was a line from fortune or somewhere else, but I remember the line, Health food fanatics are going to feel awfully silly lying in the hospital, dying of nothing. (Probably not the exact quote but similar).

As tedious as it can be I would probably take a look with wireshark and see what is actually happening at the packet level to make sure that looks sane and compare it to the working zone.

Good point, but considering that for Thiel it was just payback, I was rooting for the other side--who, to be honest I don't remember their name without web searching, just remembered they were a scandal type site.

It was hard to decide who to cheer for.

In the US, at least, it was fairly well known, I think.

How do you know? What did you test and what was the result?

I am guessing this might be also an initiative because of this? https://freebsdfoundation.org/blog/getting-ready-for-the-cyber-resilience-act/

If the router is also dns server, shouldn't the defaultrouter ip be the same? Not sure. What kind of internet connection do you have? I never used something like 9.9.9.9. I wouldn't trust it because it's off the norm. Nothing finds this range a...

Indeed. This reminds me of one of the first DVD drives I had. It had a jumper sticking out trough a hole which would cause problems if you would slide it into a box from the front. The circuit board was visible and the jumper was labeled "RC...

Hello, I have found this thread because of the keyword "es8316". I am not sure if I understand this thread right: The RockPro64 hardware includes the es8316 sound chip and you guys managed it to work in FreeBSD? I have a laptop with an Intel Atom...

This video covers more than what I have already considered. It is worth watching. View: https://youtu.be/VliKQmEPDnA

FreeBSD Enterprise Working Group is working on supporting SMB/CIFS 2.0 or later, but not finished.

Wow, he's human? Another piece of human garbage, ruined a company because they printed something bad about him. If curious look up Hulk Hogan and Peter Thiel. Unfortunately, in this world, if you have money, you can do that and avoid all...

My in-laws's lives are probably pretty interesting. Mine...not so much. :) But thank you for the kind words.

On the contrary, I found your last two posts really interesting. You seem to have quite a fascinating life. Having a Hiroshima survivor in your family alone is remarkable.

telnetd had a big security hole discovered just recently. At least the one on Linux, dunno how many variants are out there. If you had a telnetd running as a backup to sshd you would have screwed yourself.

telnetd was always something that should never be exposed outside of a private and secure network. A bit like NFSv3 or.... lpd ;) And lets be honest, Linux probably badly integrated systemd into it and fscked it up. My bigger concern is when...

Small changes to big existing software are not exactly LLM's strength right now. They are better at writing new software in small pieces.

They at least keep it small this way. A FreeBSD amd64 world install is about 450MB Assuming it's not the HP agenda of owning 100% corporate control of printers. Cups obsoleting support for old printers was already suspicious. Same problem...

This one was a little crap in my opinion. Sure, SSH is kind of the secure alternative but if you have ever tried to log into a truly ancient machine, it simply fails because the different encryption methods no longer align. A more resilient...

PS: I actually eat very healthy food, but the last line of homeadm's post made me think of this. It's in jest.

If you hang around the open source world, or really computers in general long enough, you'll have favorite pieces of software that get discontinued for one reason or another. If you're lucky, it can be run in an emulator or container, for most of...

FWIW we are in agreement in our distaste for removing software just because upstream hasn't be changed in a while. There is such a thing as finished software.

Sort of, any software that doesn't have DRM tied into a server can potentially be used forever. The open source stuff offers more options in terms of keeping it going longer, but nothing is permanent. But looking at what's been happening with...

There is a thread about a similar idiocy in California in the US. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/will-freebsd-be-available-in-california-in-2027.101846/ Another stupid law. Disappointing, and the conspiracy loving part of me thinks MS,et...

Weeell, hold on a second. Some of us use open source software specifically because this cannot happen against the will of a sufficient fanbase of such software. You can never really take it away. The issue at hand here is that software with...

Well, my nurse relatives never told me that but bgavin you're right they're too busy.

mer, yeah, abiword is alive and kicking. Just for the heck of it, I did, on a vm that doesn't have too much on it, just X, openbox and maybe featherpad which I use to test Japanese in QT apps, pkg install abiword and got abiword: 3.0.5_15...

I found myself surprisingly more healthy by replacing getting comfort food delivered to my door with cooking the exact same thing myself. I'm not sure exactly why. I suppose it may have to do with doing smaller portions, and/or putting less salt...

Besides, FreeBSD is not child's play, it's a serious operating system without any kind of "app store" :D I'm not worried... In fact, if children used FreeBSD (or even Linux) on a daily basis, there would be far fewer problems in the world in 1-2...
