If it's remote you need IPMI or some other remote KVM solution. What about typos in /etc/fstab? Or a botched upgrade? There are many reasons why a system could fail to boot.

Status update I noticed the usual warnings of geli in the log regarding "Failed to authenticate ... bytes of data at offset ..." but noticed that some of them had pretty small offsets. Therefore I started to fill the geli device with random data...

I lean toward the later because I am not developer, not distribution architect or such. I just use the computer, I like UNIX with BSD flavor. And if one wants, can also dismember FreeBSD and mix it with other software.

Looking at the mailing list, I think they are deciding what "shot" is the correct one. So far two things: Overly modularise and reduce things. Typical developer mindset which creates DIY Linux-like platforms rather than operating systems...

Fix pkg first; pkg bootstrap -f (This runs pkg, not pkg) Then force an update of the cached catalog; pkg update -f Then upgrade/reinstall everything; pkg upgrade -f But your /var/db/pkg/local.sqlite might be corrupted somehow. There's a backup...

That will simply show the architecture of the kernel, not what the CPU is capable of.

Was the /dev/gpt/labelname.eli the same? That might be linked to a, now defunct, pool.

You don't create a pool if you only want to replace a broken drive from an existing pool; zpool-replace. Or was this a single drive pool? That's now dead? Make sure to remove that pool before creating a new one with the same name.

According to ChatGPT: Here is a simple and clean setup for Nextcloud on FreeBSD using Caddy + PostgreSQL + PHP-FPM. This stack is simpler than using Apache HTTP Server and works very well for home servers. 1. Install required packages pkg...

The pkg version in ports is very different from this script. You should set HOSTNAME and probably NO_CERT=1

No recordings of yesterday's talks. Maybe youtube has something on agents chatting on discord. Might not be too common, yesterday's presenters were top notch.

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...
