I can vouch for Xfce working (not sure about NVIDIA)

Unlocked BIOS on my laptop gives a SIO option, but trying to see what's under it throws me back to main menu :p (no idea what that option or word means)

This company demanding this IRS Tax fee has now disappeared, although I'm pretty sure they will turn up again under a different name.

mount --libxo:J gives you the mount table in JSON, and you can walk that to determine what you're looking for. a lot of freebsd tools have the --libxo option.

I have an HP P420i SAS controller configured in JBOD mode (I booted linux and used the official ciss utilities to configure it that way) so each drive is passed as a plain device, no RAID. I have 4 drives used, 2 of them in a mirror, the other 2...

One of the things that Rowan did that he was actually funny in. I really need to get a copy of the series for my collection. On the topic of British TV programming, I recently saw the first couple episodes of The Brittas Empire and now I'm...

I made a script from Dru Lavigne book BSD HACKS. Book is from 2004 but it is useful still :). Thank you.

I'd go for the mini PC. Nice specs but how is it doing at full load?

TBH, personally, I'd use a VM unless you're at the stage where you need to test on hardware. There's also the option of just running off of an external USB drive for a test run. But, if you're looking to buy hardware, the mini PC is far less...

The courts could strike or put it in abeyance under the 'void for vagueness' doctrine, or under contract law between buyer and seller of, or coder and user of, the product under contract unfeasability clause rulings. For starters. [[...

I had options i915 enable_dsb=0 in a modprobe.d on Linux. I have has_dsb: no under GuC notes, implying DSB might be related to GuC, and on FreeBSD I disable GuC with hw.i915kms.enable_guc=0. Iirc drm-kmod versions affected whether GuC worked on...

I'd go with the Mini PC for a calm set-up (I'd be wiping and trying multiple OSs for a while from the Lenovo if it had better more interesting hardware like a dGPU :p) The Mini PC coming from China might have an interesting BIOS or be less...

Not enough details on the two computers to say. Generally, laptops suck. If you want to compile big things an i9 in a desktop will spank a cheap laptop.

OpenJDK JRE is a *Java* runtime environment. Deno and Node.js are *JavaScript* runtime environments. Apples and engine parts. yt-dlp can use the following runtimes: Deno (default), Node.js, Bun and QuickJS. Are all your ports/packages up to...

OBS Studio 32.0.2 builds and Runs on Freebsd 16 current, when built from PORTSs. FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT #4 main-n283331-cd730bef74f9: Xorg / KDE Plasma 6.5.2 CPU: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700K (16) @ 5.00 GHz GPU: NVIDIA...

wine-devel maintainer here. You installed Wine how, through Ports? Which version? Also what does "uname -a" say? Try set all these sysctls to 0: kern.elf32.aslr.stack: 0 kern.elf32.nxstack: 0 kern.elf64.aslr.stack: 0 kern.elf64.nxstack: 0 And...

Try lsblk(8) or fstyp(8) or file(1) as: file -s /dev/mmcsd0 for detection.

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.

FWIW, as I mentioned in the CA thread I did eventually send snail mail to Governor Newsom. I made the points that these would probably not deter young people, that they did give an advantage to MS and other large companies, and that in a way it...

fstype /dev/mmcsd0s1 Just because the slice is labeled as 'ntfs' doesn't mean the filesystem is NTFS.

Try fstyp.

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...

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...
