You should report it. Sounds like a bug. https://github.com/freebsd/drm-kmod/issues

Openssh never accepted any changes that added a dependency on systemd. The various distros had custom patches that would link Openssh to libsystemd. This means that BSD systems would've been unaffected even if they'd managed to get this backdoor...

xlibre pkg seems good on 16.0-CURRENT :D (GW2, wine-devel 11.3; evdev xorg.conf forced) Having XLibre's Intel DDX installed had X not start and report some unwind error (was fine installed and xorg.conf-forced on Xorg), but removing it and...

I have good results with Claude Code but still try to push local LLMs. My computer for that is exploding.

Yeah, Startech is usually a premium brand for exotic gear like this. Screw it, I just ordered one. These things have a tendency to not be available when you need them.

You need a separate controller, with its own PCIe interface. The easiest is to get a card. Note that there are cards specifically for this purpose that have 4 separate controllers on them, so that you can pass them to 4 different VMs.

If there are no custom port configuration, pkg-fetch [2] could primarily be used instead, to get a complete official FreeBSD package repository, in considerable shorter time than building the ports tree in days/weeks [1], which will involve...

My knowledge at this level doesn't go beyond IBM 8086. I can imagine a construction that combines short binary values of different threads into a long modern register to save 1 separate instruction.

It's basically a by-product of the superscalar pipelined CPU architecture of today. This allows it to handle more than one instruction at a time.

It's hyperthreading. Basically two front ends feeding one back end of a core. Brings total throughput to about 118% of just using one frontend.

It has never been clear to me. What are "virtual cores" Some circuit state doing fast content swithching to make it look like more cores than physical. Processors actually should have a glass window like long ago so you can check it with a...

? Of course it does.

I disagree. Of course you need enough RAM to feed all the processes on all the cores. But once there extra RAM is of little use.

I am definitely sure the whole controller is set as JBOD. It's set in so-called IT-mode or HBA mode. The drives appear at boot time. I am not familiar if there is a hotplugging enable parameter on this controller, I'll search for that but...

I realize that, but that doesn't change the matter. 6 cores, hyperthreaded or not, are not suitable.

Thank you all about the good points, especially the markdown This time a plain spreadsheet -document did the trick and it was a good to clear out that it was a Gantt -chart. Thanks eveyone.

The 5600X is 6 cores, not 12.

Errr. That's not gonna work. The problem is that it will take way too much time to go from one build failure to the next.

Some controllers allow you to set the whole controller to treat each disk as a JBOD, some controllers need to configure the specific individual drive as a JBOD. Is hotplugging actually enabled? This can sometimes be turned on or off.

Ok, just solved it! :) As FreshPorts' page for plasma6-plasma-workspace reports for version 6.6.0, there is a bug (293368) that causes this loop. The workaround is to set the Clock widget to never show seconds. More infos on the commit...

As you might imagine, this is not a good way. If you break something (which you will inevitably do) you might end up with a broken system. Depends, for userland changes a jail might suffice.

I am not using hardware RAID, I configured the controller to be just a JBOD and present the drives straight through. Since I configured it that way (which I detail here https://blog.tinkerbox.org/pc/hba_mode_DL380p_g8/ ) I have never messed in...

The controller probably has it as "unconfigured", you probably need to configure it first in the controller's firmware.
