Indeed.
This happens when computers are seen as completely black box.
People does not know for what lpd or cups is there, only know that they must do something with them for printing,
and if lpd is not there, then cups must be there.
Cups...
No, it is not. Period.
It is perhaps easiest only for people that do want to take a little of time and learn before configuring.
That user should be using MS Windows, not FreeBSD.

I'm trying to get the install script from https://github.com/tschettervictor/bsd-apps/tree/main/nextcloud working but could do with some clarification if anyone is familiar with it...
Hi gang,
What is mtree?
mtree is a utility included in the base system (/usr/sbin/mtree) and can be used to compare two directory structures thus allowing you to spot any kind of difference. By default it does this by comparing file size (in...
Here is what I do.
I maintain a jail template that is never directly used as a jail. The jails merely mount it either read-only using nullfs or mount unionfs filesystems on top of it. Any local jail modifications written to the unionfs...

What I had proposed earlier was moving it to a base pkg. I’ll go deeper in the example call it FreeBSD-printing if it doesn’t have its own already. Then just don’t install it. Make a set for optional.txz for future things like this and so on...
As the response to that states, possibly its worth discussing with the OpenBSD guys why they themselves don't see it fit for removal in an OS focused on security. Hopefully he does and they have some good insight.
I missed this.
I don't know if OpenBSD's implementation of lpd is vulnerable. Perhaps a quicker fix would be to import that.
Looking at the code (and noting last commit message), I don't immediately spot anything that is very unportable. des@...

They use the same code with the same bugs.

I always managed to use OpenBSD without cups (and tex live)
In FreeBSD is a (probably unnecessary) dependence of a lot of packages.
Bloat brings bloat as dependency.

Whilst I don't disagree in principal (after all, cups is generally needed for most printers anyway), the dependencies pulled in are fairly extreme for functionality simply to replace lpd.
Highlight includes, not one but two python interpreters...
Heh, I was going to write that this error happens so infrequently that I can live with it, and now it happened again already

Keep in mind that you can mark certain windows "sticky", so that that particular window follows you around over all workspaces.
I use that quite a bit when (also) watching video on one workspace.
For most people CUPS is the better answer. It is a larger footprint and has regular security issues of its own however. I think it's a matter of taste. Some people prefer pulseaudio over OSS. I prefer OSS. I even took the time to make an OSS...
This is another version of the script that finds source code for FreeBSD base system utilities.
Post the about first version of this script.

There is a script in this repo to install Nextcloud from source, and it uses caddy as the webserver. I’ve been using it to spin up Nextcloud instances for a number of years now.

I read that you could incorporate various CMS's. I think I saw Drupal mentioned.
I just came across this link if anyone is interested in using Nextcloud with Drupal.
x11/kde is a meta-port. It doesn't build anything itself, it only depends on a bunch of other ports/packages. Can't tell from the screenshot where, and what dependency is actually failing.
When developing in Linux,SELECT behaved unexpectedly when there were a large number (tens of) accepted TCP-sockets. This was fixed by implementing a buffer constantly reading from the TCP-connection and writing to a UNIX-domain pipe and then...
You're not seeing a directory (thus filesystem permissions are irrelevant), you're seeing a list of shares. Shares are publicly visible, unless you set browsable = no.
