Do you have links maybe?

Not much. If it is a dedicated machine, it can be thrashed. Isolate it on the network and you should be good to go. If you need mgmt after you boot the agents, login to root on physical console.

I feel a compromise can be had. Doing nothing at all, could well be that ;) No need to FREEZE. Of course I am happy for them to fix lpd if they had time. Or as cracauer@ mentioned, prove how a disabled by default program can be a security...

I nominate Harlan as the new FreeBSD mascot.

I disagree. Social networks enable completely new ways to bully someone even if they're not part of it. I believe this things should be regulated. I don't know what you mean by nanny state. Is nanny state a country that intervenes when parents...

Not sure how to set the property of sysvshm to enabled. Should I be able to install using these settings:- ? APP_NAME="Nextcloud" APP_VERSION="32" ADMIN_PASSWORD="admin" MX_WINDOW="5" DB_TYPE="PostgreSQL" DB_NAME="nextcloud"...

Cool (no pun intended). I think I'm too set in my ways but that's good to know. Also at Kai Burghardt I might be misinterpreting your post but units uses degF and degC, upper case, e.g. You have whatever degF, you want degC

Oh no, someone is wrong on the internet. The unit name uses a lowercase character (degrees fahrenheit), the unit symbol uses a capital letter if the unit is named after a person (°F). By the way, you can do it all with shell arithmetic expansion...

I'd say that even one A4 piece of paper is bigger than nearly any SSD in existence. 😏

From The dead Internet is not a theory anymore:

I need to connect that thing to my Ebay sniper program.

The case is actually old one. I hope I remember it correctly. There were multiple client processes forked after the accept-function. Each process were reading from a file descriptor from the accept. It was meant that there would be more than 1000...

des@ is in a difficult position here. On one hand his action would require providing evidence of insecurity. On the other hand that would tip off people who want to hack all the systems that still have lpd/lpr (otherwise known as all of them).

I don't think it will allow you to use labelclear on a device with a mounted pool.

There is a difference between Windows drivers, which will never work under FreeBSD and Windows userlevel applications that talk to the device directly over USB. They usually do configuration tasks such as routing. Such userlevel applications can...

Yesterday I have seen some demos from people further along in the AI journey than me. From what I have seen I wouldn't rule out that a LLM could turn destructive without the authors doing anything along those lines. Some Discord conversations...

Good points. But I am also concerned about a LLM wiping out filesystem contents by accident, like Google's Antigravity did. I think against accidents it is the better solution to require a password for sudo as an LLM can casually use sudo with...

That gets fuzzy very quickly. I use the emacs extension gptel as a frontend and it can give access to file buffers (for coding related purposes). What do I know whether shell and Lisp buffers are also usable from the LLM? I also want to...

It is not airgapped. What I mean it doesn't have anything important on it and is dedicated to the messy tasks. It is in fact PXE booted, with a local disk only for the models. Snapshots and diiffing of snapshots happen on the server. The machine...

I don't think HTTP is the issue people have with CUPS. The extra dependencies it drags in isn't really HTTP related either. But going with your analogy, people are completely OK using a lavatory if they have an upset stomach but don't want to...

.

You need to use the units from TheRegister, like double decker busses, brontosaurus, hedgehogs per fortnight, speed of an unmolested sheep in vacuum, ... And can we toss these imperials and farenheits onto the midden of history? They make no sense.

Does CUPS have command-line for adding printers with IPP?

So... download the source code and try to compile it and get it to run? Completely lost why people don't do this any more. Literally -- we would receive and/or download the source code "just like this" to whatever platform we were using, make...

Your carrier might be using some kind of tunnel somewhere. Some of my clients use encryption tunnels on private circuits between two cities. MTU is about 1450.

Never tried it. What goes wrong if you maintain 1C = 1.8F and assume an amount from 0 like a currency? Not too difficult between boiling and freezing points. On Mi to km, imperial wins on unit size this time. 😆

I'm trying to to upgrade from 14.3p9 to 14.4 following the instructions: # freebsd-update upgrade -r 14.4-RELEASE # freebsd-update install # shutdown -r now # freebsd-update install First command runs well, it downloads the 4814 patches and...

Unfortunately no, not Linuxulator. A true Linux as the only OS in hardware. What would be the best approach to inspect kqueue and select functionality in kernel and userland to see if there is automated in-kernel buffering of incoming network...

A friend had a system to do it in her head. Cx2+30=F. F-30 divided by 20=C. It's a rough estimate and off by a few degrees, but works fine for temperatures around 20 to 80 F, which in NYC is usually what we deal with. For example 20 F is -6.6 C...

My personal problem is converting videos towards an audio-codec my DVD driver understands. With never videos always fail ...

Now I have succeeded the test in the case of x86_64 FreeBSD to emit ELF relocatable object file. Link successfully completed. The hello world code works.

I spent 3 months nose down with ffmpeg correcting the green tint on the original Fellowship of the Ring Blu-Ray. Nice text adventure.

Y'know, I take care to be technical here. Providing technical reasons for not needing something is not considered demeaning at all, at least not on these Forums. Asking someone to stick to the topic of the conversation is NOT a rude thing to...

> So I went out and bought six or eight computers That's some dedication to OS testing. 😅 EDIT: and to avoiding saying "six, seven"

I think I am lucky that i can passthrough some USB ports of my desktop to one VM without buying anything. $ pciconf -lv | grep -A4 xhci xhci0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x0c0330 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x1022 device=0x43ec subvendor=0x1b21...

I just use a small script I wrote years ago, because I'd look up the temperature and my wife is more familiar with Celcius. So, I'd look up the temperature in Farenheit, from a local site. Then #!/bin/sh echo "Enter Farenheit temperature" read...

That bug was fixed in an ALPHA before 15.0-RELEASE. And it wasn't so much a bug in 15.0-RELEASE, it was a bug in freebsd-update (on older releases) that failed to account for some changes in 15.

ffmpeg looked complex and I haven't used it directly :p I compiled StepMania with it, and iirc think ffmpeg or libs were useful for video playback or thumbnails. I used HandBrake for video converting and stuff with subtitles.

I am running Nextcloud v31.0.14 (Hub 10, bc v32 still does not support Maps) on FreeBSD 14.4R by Hiawatha HTTP server with PHP-FPM, MySQL and Redis (recommended over Memcached).

Hi all. I've got a strange issue that I hope someone can help with. I have had an OpenVPN server running on 13.5-RELEASE for many years, and I recently decided it was time to update to 15.0-RELEASE. Everything went fine, but when I rebooted I...

I've never heard of caddy. Can't I use apache? I didn't see either caddy or postgreql among the pkgs installed in my iocage jail. Maybe I should start again and post my edited install.sh...

The script installs caddy as the webserver, either mariadb or postgres depending on what you choose as the database, and configures the admin user with a random password. All the info is shown at the end and saved inside the root directory...

If you only have the bare metal and one VM then a simple PCIe card will be enough. You run the bare metal one with the on-mainboard controller and the VM with the PCIe card. But you don't know what you need in the future. Maybe more VMs. As I...

They have several now. The classic in-kernel one and the one that systemd brings.

You need to upgrade all of your packages anyway so why not just save yourself the trouble: backup anything you may want to keep from /usr/local and then nuke the entire thing (pkg databases and /usr/local) and reinstall your packages. It will...
