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

Hello, I've been using Linux and BSD since the early 2000s. I would really like to thank the entire FreeBSD 15 team for delivering such a high-quality desktop system. I run FreeBSD 15 with Wayland (Plasma), and it absolutely screams. There is no...

Hi, I'm runit. Also Ashley. I've recently gotten into the BSD family of unixes after a long history with mostly Debian and Fedora (10+ years) primarily because I am concerned with security issues (that I perceive) in the Debian project, as well...

This is a weird way of investing the little developing power these fellows (OpenIndiana's developers) have: https://www.phoronix.com/news/OpenIndiana-Next-Gen-IPS

I believe I am ready to submit the ports... 🙏

I saw this recent video mentioned on HN and (having watched it) thought it was pretty good: The Internet Was Weeks Away From Disaster and No One Knew Just to add the HN link: Related HN thread

That option enables a very small set of code paths for compatibility with the newer NVIDIA driver ABIs, nothing substantial is added to the resulting packages, but the X server driver ABI is changed. You could disable it if you are running on a...

Just when you think things can't get more ironic.... https://ewontfix.com/14/

Let's give it a whirl. The maintainer, Yuri, seems to be keeping this very updated.

! VIOLATION ! This thread would have accepted either 11 or 3

Incorrect. I gave "The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything" therefore it is never wrong.

The modern stuff is woke crap. You have to watch the 60's and 70s stuff. The recent BBC/disney series from Russel T Davies are rubbish, and their audience figures have cratered; it's unwatchable now, imho; I can't stand what they've done to it...

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

C++ is the favored language of pedantic language laywers

we are arguing about gotos 57 years after Dijkstra’s “Go to statement considered harmful”? Real programmers don’t waste time discussing such tired old topics; they write working code! I once wrote an emulator for motorola 68hc11 in C. Using gnu...

But that is like a label and a goto!!!!

I can't stand Dr. Who. One of the worst shows I've ever attempted to watch.

sounds like making a contract to the devil to me.

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 still use the algorithms published in the Journal of Applied Statistics, mainly for the code quality and robustness - all the mathematical issues, convergence, handling of floating point, etc, have been carefully thought through...

C and C++ have goto. Pascal and Object Pascal do as well. It's sometimes useful (Oh, no! Sacrilege!).

Or they are back at their old desk two month later for twice the bucks as a freelancer. That happend to a coworker of my dad. You can say about banks what you want, but they have a better sense of risk-down-the-road than the run-off-the-mill...

Maybe it's a ring. 122

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...

Beyond pushing pills most doctors are too busy or too clueless. Ask any experienced nurse how often she had to intervene to keep the doctor from killing their patient. Skip the carbs, processed foods and all sugars. Mediterranean diet with...

we like durian

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.

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.
