In all these jurisdictions the foundation should employ lawyers to contact relevant agencies. The foundation should work with lawyers to outline what FreeBSD is, and how it is used and what is the difference between accessing online services from...

scottro I can understand that but don't recall it being too bad. It showed it in a realistic light if anything but it made the book more interesting while I was waiting.

I think it would make sense for the Brazilian FreeBSD user group to send a polite letter to the Brazilian National Congress explaining the reasons why FreeBSD (and similar projects) should be exempt from that law and asking for an amendment to...

I would recommend to upgrade to FreeBSD 15. There you have drm 6.1, 6.6 and 6.9. You can also install the new kernels with the new DRM alongside to take a peek without having to upgrade.

I use registered platforms, too. But the problem is that everything DDR5 registered has been very expensive as far as motherboards are concerned. Every old EPYC boards for DDR4 have always cost a premium. Even when RAM and CPUs were cheap.

According to https://www.sharpwriting.net/project/nextcloud-on-freebsd/#3 Next, we need to configure Apache to handle php files. Go to /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes and create a new file. I called mine php-fpm.conf but you call it whatever...

Server platforms use the same RAM chips, but not the same DIMM modules. They have an extra register chip and can take more modules per CPU. You can't use them in consumer platforms, which use unbuffered RAM modules. There also is ECC versus...

I think that is overly optimistic. For one, the manufacturers cannot bump up production because facilities don't exist. And then there is the problem that they probably make registered modules from the regular RAM chips, not unbuffered. So you...

Joanna Lumley's Greek Odyssey For me she has good traveling series.

I agree with AlfredoLlaquet it would probably only last 20 seconds. The payoff was worth it in my opinion. Shucks, here's another Monty Python on why Michelangelo didn't paint the last supper. It's about 4 minutes and change, but worth it in my...

Thanks, I've got a bunch to read right now but seems interesting. I see from a Wikpedia article that someone or other felt it showed China in a negative light and some company then changed their mind on publishing it.

scottro Not a movie or Japanese but I have a feeling you might like the book, "Waiting", by Jin Ha. It's slow and you get tired of waiting and you can't put it down till you finish.

Sometimes the cure turns out to be worse than the illness. What is peddled as an alternative to established parties over here is not a new set of ideas in any way, they just went into hiding for the last 80 years. Doing nothing is not the way to...

Thanks. The tables and macros are apparently a bit of an exception in terms of the order. For my own sanity, I tend to put the various stages into different files and just include them in the right order.

Yes, I added --js-runtimes to the config. No, it never worked works. I don't know what special sauce deno or node brings to the table that openjdk-jre does not but it must something special as they're tremendous.

put the scrub line before the table line. Scrubbing is "normalization" in the list there. I think table switches you into "filtering" state, and is thus causing your error.

That is the part that confuses me. There is network filtering and there is packet filtering. And I struggle a bit to work out sometimes whether the filtering is being done at the network or the packet level. According to the man page, the...

TBH, I still find this fairly confusing, but in this case, scrubbing is part of traffic normalization. Which should put the scrubbing after those blocking rules. The statement order is in the pf.conf man page. It kind of makes sense as there's...

So I have another update; due to some unforeseen circumstances I'm not sure when I'll be able to get a monitor cord now. However I will still be lurking around until then.

You have just blown my mind to smithereens. I didn't know this was being done. The video is so bad that it seems a mockumentary, but it is very real. It's worth noting (I've looked it up) that they don't use human embryos to create the neurons...

This is a question of law, which is decided by a judge. As you said, it would require a law suit. A lower level court case (in California court called "superior court" does not usually create precedent though. The fact that the law is insane or...

In the 80's I read Eji Yoshikawa's book on Musashi. As far as I can tell, it's more historical fiction than biography---It's a long book and I've seen it divided into several shorter paperbacks. Anyway, at the time I thought, Gee a young Mifune...

Going back to reading, my wife often watches Korean shows on Netflix. She has the subtitles set to Japanese, so I sometimes will try to read the subtitles. (Usually aloud, which annoys her, but I only do it a little).

I like your Windows theme for XFCE. I see on your terminal that it's called Chicago95 (so I guess it's a Windows 95 theme). Let's make a web search (I use Brave Search)... There it is: https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95 I use Plasma, and I...

Did you configure yt-dlp to use it? Add --js-runtimes deno:/usr/local/bin/deno --remote-components ejs:github to ~/.config/yt-dlp/config

And why would you do that? When pkg pulls in a dependency, it's because the software needs it to run properly. The deno requirement has been the case for a few weeks now and yt-dlp has been warning about it a few months back already. Recent...

tuaris, it seems the update failed before applying any patch, which is good. Clear the freebsd-update working directory with rm -r /var/db/freebsd-update/*, then try to update the host again.

Worth mailing the maintainer about.

The past cases in USA e.g. somebody vs Apple or Google store, don't exactly define an App Store. There is a notion of it being a "distribution channel" however App Store was treated as a marketplace and these cases were based on transactions and...

pkg install python3 This is a meta port to the Python 3.x interpreter and provides symbolic links to bin/python3, bin/pydoc3, bin/idle3 and so on to allow compatibility with minor version agnostic python scripts.

I have recently switched on some of my machines to FreeBSD. I have also adjusted my "make your life easier" scripts to work on FreeBSD. Some of them are written in Python, and I am looking for a way to write shebangs in such a way that they work...

I am not expert at US law, but I would be confident (bet money confident) that deeming a package repository as app store would fall flat at the court. Package repositories predate app stores; they're not open source app stores, but package...

I'd like to know what Theo had to say to such a request, if it was anything beyond that.

All I have to say to that is good luck. They cannot stop people who really want to do something they don't like.

Sleeping room,

I believe that FreeBSD updated their license to add "Not for use in California." So they are going to refuse to implement it. I read somewhere that in the Linux world, someone was going to update SystemD to implement this, but the same issue...

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...
