I appreciate the answer. We can continue this discussion elsewhere when it is appropriate :)

Plus, I don't think there is reason to be suspicious, it's following the exact same hype cycle all trendy techs have done before. It always peaks with people being frankly fanatical about their tech, until comes the time where it's not new...

You generally won't see Rust on many job apps during our lifetime. But there is still a push by small but vocal companies to "sell" you new products (IDEs, books, courses) because there is less market competition compared to industry standard...

I have no interest in pushing my views on anyone but you asked me a question, so here it goes: To me, the nanny state is obsessed over our personal lives wasting resources on victimless crimes. As I age, I lean more and more to anarchist views...

If it's a Java application, why run it on a Linux OpenJDK when there's a 'native' OpenJDK available? Or am I misunderstanding something here?

the new revision of bi came up. try it. tuned some points.

Is the drive itself still good?

To be honest, that CPU never had its time. It was utterly under powered from the start. The only positive thing it had was its power consumption.

That's not humorous.

We found this spoon. (I wonder, how would a coop of Monty Python and Mel Brooks have worked out? Or is that the lethal joke that sketch is about?)

I don't understand the persistent desire of it being in the base system. It makes me suspect corporate involvement. What exactly is it supposed to do, that apparently isn't possible while it's an external program? Are we sure that no other...

Is there such a thing?

AlfredoLlaquet that's the guy who does various movie pitch meetings, which can be funny. But that one was more scary. :)

The updates and patches are downloaded and stored in /var/db/freebsd-update/. The install phase loads them from there. Saying 'no' to the proposed changes stops the entire upgrade process. Your freebsd-update .... upgrade never "finished", so...

From The dead Internet is not a theory anymore:

Given that you've already identified it as an untrustworthy machine, I don't really think it matters. Just properly isolate/firewall it, so that it cannot be used as a spearhead for further incursions.

They probably are thinking comparatively to Rails or Node.js, as many on-premise webapps in the self-hosting circles are written with those. Lemmy is an ActivityPub-based software, for which the big dominant big brother, Mastodon, is a Rails app...

It looks to be more than that. Knock yourself out :cool:

CONFIGURE_ARGS are arguments for a ./configure script.

Port is unmaintained. Open a PR, attach a patch that updates it and ask a committer to have a look.

FreeBSD actually works fine with readonly filesystems, Things like logging will fail. It can't write a new /etc/resolv.conf etc but it will still run fine. With my NFS boot readonly would be easy to implement. But I don't want to cripple the...

It exposes a bunch of stuff in /proc that FreeBSD's /proc does not. Can be useful for FreeBSD programs, too.

Hmmm, this is no good. Some random binary gunk should not block ZFS from initializing. Much less with a useless error message.

CPU time is pretty low although not as low as a good C or C++ program. The way that linking works makes the binaries bigger than C. C++ of course can be bloaty. Off-hand I don't know whether a modern C++ program or a Rust program come out bigger.

Maybe run: geli list

There shouldn't be any significant overhead. Can you run a program that prints the size of the eli block device?

Does Rust have a lower footprint than alternatives? https://join-lemmy.org/ mentions:

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...

Oh they did that, big time, in the railcars carrying mail between BRD/DDR and back, so you could have letters which were opened twice in transit. And of course you can depend on telephones being listened to. I always joke that the internet...

Our local TelCo is floating plans to have AI agents in all calls which you can summon by saying "Hello Magenta" which is supposed to help you with matters. I just hope we are not so far up idiocracy creek that people can't vote with their wallet...

That may be the goal for some companies involved. Because parents are the administrators, and administrators must be trusted to do "the right thing". So, with great sadness, it will be decided that nobody can be the admin on their own system...

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.

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.
