I'm not sure, I'll see. I was just going by what I had read from various sources.

Apologies, but shouldn’t you be able to just do `pkg install nextcloud-php84` to also install all dependencies?

Very interesting.... Release 4.0 ! Quite a while ago. Strange to see Last modified on: February 21, 2021 by Danilo G. Baio at the bottom.

I tried explain that the nextcloud-install.sh runs and installs all the pkgs bar one, ie postrgresql18-server. This makes no sense to me and I'm trying to find some explanation.

21 of the 22 pkgs get installed without this.

It's hard to tell what happened without seeing your pkg upgrade output. But db5 is still a package. What is likely is an upgraded package depended on a package that conflicted with db5 resulting in db5's removal. Without looking at your pkg...

You need to execute the nextcloud-install.sh that it builds.

This post is something of the prequel to the Meta blog post above. https://jasone.github.io/2025/06/12/jemalloc-postmortem/ It's great to see a turn-around.

Surely it does a return somewhere?

I used a 10TB drive in USB NAS since late 2024 (WAVLINK USB-C 2-bay) The 2 cords it came with deteriorated enough to cause random errors after about a year (relatively stationary so real portable use would have probably worn em sooner); a...

I have the following script to install all the packages I need for nextcloud, but for some reason it runs without any errors although postgresql18-server does not get installed. Can anyone explain what the problem could be? Installing it...

fork(2) is legal to call from a signal handler. malloc(3) most certainly is not. Are you saying the malloc is inside the signal handler?

There is no such pkg as php**-fpm but php-fpm does get installed in /usr/local/sbin as part of some other php pkg.

I think that trying to do this is basically proof of concept rather than being of any real world practical value. A few years ago I tried to set up a Seagate GoFlex Net as a NAS and it would probably have been usable but never succeeded in...

back many years ago (when USB/SATA converters became commonplace) I investigated using USB for NAS/RAID in lieu of buying dedicated disk controllers. When you begin to understand the architecture and bandwidth sharing that goes on in USB, not to...

Yes, custom ports. In a separate ports tree (only contains my custom ports). Same repository where everything else comes from. Building a custom port takes a bit of effort at first (getting things correct), but in the long run it's easier to...

I get about 210MBps (using dd) under FreeBSD. IIRC it was 340MBps or so under linux on the same pi4 & same SDD when I last measured it. Also note that USB 3.0-3.1 raw speed is 5Gbps, while USB 3.2 gen 2 can go to 10Gbps. BOT has much more...

Probably not a great idea to build a NAS connecting over USB.... Not to mention FreeBSD doesn't support the faster UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol). I do have a SSD connected via USB3 to a Pi4 and it works fine but I don't stress the system or...

The major problem I see here is the external USB connections which could be or become unreliable. A rebuild or a mirror on a large disk is probably taking many days on here, and you would have to do it after every USB hickup.

What speeds might that be needed? Iirc I was doing 200MB/s from a USB 3 drive with NTFS yesterday (seemed just as-fast if not faster than Windows)

Accidentally found machdep.idle=hlt that looks like idle=halt I was doing on Linux :D machdep.idle_mwait was 1 prior, but I wonder how that would work if mwait was disabled in BIOS? I have machdep.idle_available: spin, mwait, hlt, acpi (default...

Yes. And a pkg-autoremove would also remove the build dependencies that were installed with the make install-missing-packages (they're flagged as "automatic").

If you look at the existing emulators/wine port you'll notice a whole bunch of ./configure arguments. CONFIGURE_ARGS= --verbose \ --disable-kerberos \ --disable-tests \ --without-capi \ --without-coreaudio \ --without-dbus \...

libcapi20: Disable it, you're not going to need to support ISDN connections from within WINE. With regards to other libraries, you often have to instruct ./configure where those files live on FreeBSD.

Please give it a try. I consider myself a slow coder. I mainly work on it little by little on weekends, and development takes me several years.

Make sure X works first, then you can think about making it start automatically when the system boots. I'll throw in the analogy again, when you build a house you build the foundations first, then the walls and finally the roof. You don't start...

No, it's a command you enter on the command line. The sysrc command will add an entry to rc.conf for you. I understand FreeBSD is entirely new to you, but do you have any prior experience with command lines? Perhaps on Windows or Linux?

You don't. sysrc is a command to conveniently add/remove/modify entries in /etc/rc.conf. Other than that, rc.conf is just a text file, you can use any preferred text editor to modify it. Do NOT put commands in /etc/rc.conf.

elephant (like that name, by the way), I can't duplicate your issue. mdo -i pkg update works fine for me. My user is a member of wheel,video, and vboxusers (which I'll remove when I get around to it as I've switched to bhyve). Hrmm, if I...

My experience is like AlfredoLlaquet and Espionage724. Links are reddish. This is on Waterfox and Firefox.

general.useragent.override on Firefox seemingly does it too; I haven't noticed anything different on websites yet: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; FreeBSD 16 x86_64; rv:140.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/140.0 I'm curious what else can be changed on UA...

I still have my X220 ( need to fix it ), my OG T61 ( but no original parts from original one left ) I got my from xyte, nos - i think it costed me around $1500 plus taxes, imports. They still keep prices and in Europe Thinkpad`s are way more...

Can It also use vim plugin? That's amazing.

The interesting part for vnodes is at the middle, a bit to the right. There are still free vnode data structures left, so there is no impact on cache performance from the vnode number. That is limited by your free memory. And yes, inactive memory...

I have iFi xdsd that works with FreeBSD.

Oh, im in the club since 2022 lol ... i think its me who should welcome you to the club ha ha :)

Yep - I got mine in 2025 - up till then I was happy with W520 :) ... and I still keep many X220 or W520 or T520 (with 4C/8T CPU) machines :] There was time when original T25 was available in my city for $1100 - in NEW condition - back then (in...

Have you tried to use beadm(8) for this?

Yeah, the crap that the browser generates I am also quite happy to blow away on each reboot. I would probably opt for @reboot cron task though rather than storing in ram via tmpfs.
