With elm+ME, which invokes metamail to deal with mailcap for non-text displays, I use: text/html;firefox %s >/dev/null 2>&1; nametemplate=%s.htmland when the iridium package is actually available (which is not very often): text/html;iridium %s...

Some people (Espionage724 is the best example that I know) game on FreeBSD very comfortably. I think he uses emulators/wine. I know nothing about gaming. The last time I played a computer game, I used a Toshiba MSX. Does that qualify as a...

So how about ollama and llama.cpp?

I'm dumping windows for good. For a long time now, I do not need it for work. DAW stuff and games is where it was at. Sadly I do have some investment in windows audio software, licensed DAW suites and plugins. But who cares. Microsoft is a...

No, it can't. Feel free to try your luck in court, but it's going to be an extremely expensive lesson that just because you CAN argue something does not mean that it has any power in court. The BSD license promises no such thing as source...

Yep, right now that is by far the biggest problem I'm having with FreeBSD, and I'm not even using ZFS or having the external USB drive as a part of a complicated mirroring setup. Personally, I've got an SSD enclosure that I'll be switching to...

You can only extend the interpretation so far until you've contorted the license into something that's no longer the license that the parties involved in it agreed to.New rulings don't automatically change the way that the contracts are...

Sure this may be academically intriguing to those in the legal profession. It'll never fly though. Permission does not create obligation. Should any single country choose otherwise they'll royally shoot themselves in the foot. That's just not...

This is nonsense that's just going to pollute the search results more. The license applies to the developer, but because there's generally source available, it's a bit of a non-issue as there's not that many projects where neither the source nor...

I use FreeBSD on my desktop computer for hours upon hours and it never stalls and never breaks. I use Bluetooth speakers. I use openvpn to connect to ProtonVPN. I always have many applications open at the same time because I’m liberal like that...

OP asked a question. Taking his question to LLM and bringing the output into discussion is totally redundant - if OP wanted to do that he would do that. Imagine if someone posts a question and a member copys that same question to google and...

We need to ban ChatGPT here.

Looking for it now and then. Problem is that AI web services aren't going to interface with something to be nested in a text-interface without any credit. They all seem to make it complicated. It's ofcourse possible to just rip the results from a...

Whenever I use script for creating a log it always creates dos line endings, unless I'm missing some option. I know I can convert using tr or dos2unix, but is there any way to automatically generate output the way I want?

ollama and lama.cpp by default run in a terminal. An Emacs interface like gptel can also be used. There is a port for claude-code

Gratuitous shot of first day of spring over southern England and Europe. Gorgeous weather here today.

I get this in my log: postgresql17-client: 17.9 [FreeBSD-ports] [nextcloud] [5/8] Fetching postgresql17-client-17.9: 100% 4 MiB 3.8 M/s 00:01 - postgresql17-client-17.9 [FreeBSD-ports] conflicts with...

Unfortunately when trying to connect to http://nextcloud I get: This site can’t be reached nextcloud refused to connect. Try: Checking the connection Checking the proxy and the firewall ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

The error occurs because postgresql didn't get installed. This seems to be related to postgresql18. After changing to 17 things went smoothly.

Iirc early-on I couldn't get sockets working for PHP-FPM stuff and/or MariaDB connections on FreeBSD; I used ports instead (127.0.0.1:9001 vs site.sock) Like with WordPress I had to set define( 'DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1' ); vs using localhost...

It the DEPRECATED= variable is set in the port's Makefile but it hasn't been removed yet. It's been deprecated for a long time, probably because a good enough replacement hasn't been found yet. As to this being the cause it was removed, I doubt...

It's only the fonts indeed. Thought it was diffferent. I can't read the ctrl menus, too small. I think it's the same system as well as the mouse pointer changing above an xterm window and not listening to the host X settings. It feels old, like...

Be very careful with the readinly property

I've tried running the script numerous times and it fails to install postgresql. I amended the variables at the top of the script as shown below. Here is the last part of a logfile produced when running the script:- #!/bin/sh # Install...

I have internet connection using usb port. It says "io0”; I need internet do download GNOME. I can’t find answer to this. Female programmer. Its some kind of loopback connection.

I love comic books. I don't read as many as I used to, though. Two things I"ve never quitted are heavy metal and comic books. I wish I had played more football (American) when I was young. I still dream frequently that I'm playing a game.

Is this maybe the same zoom effect as pressing ctrl-shift-+ (numpad)? That zooms the xterm font and adjusts the window size so that the text fits the same. I have never seen Ctrl -shift-- working correctly. It mostly zooms out to a tiny...

Hahaha. I don't think I'd ever get any work done!

I had 60 FPS Bad Apple on Vista :cool: (like this video without music)

I had xearth as a background for some time. And after a long coding session, you suddenly see your capital city come up on the right and you watch the horizon getting lit. That's when you put the coffee away and start looking for your bed. Now if...

I just came across this. Dumb Ways to Die, which was a PSA from Australian Metro, but is quite an earworm. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJNR2EpS0jw

The 'downside' of certbot is that it does have quite a few python dependencies. There should be a shell script in the ports tree too, but I keep forgetting the name of it. Edit: Oh, duh. security/acme.sh Letsencrypt uses the ACME protocol.

It's been in use for a relatively short period. It was basically a step between the old analog telephone networks (and dialup modems) and broadband. Before you were born broadband was already in full swing. So I'm not surprised you never heard of...

Will try again need, maybe just right version for my specific card. And have some luck.

Just make sure it's consensual, ok?

Just from that question I can tell you don't know what ISDN is. Don't know how old you are but I'm betting you're not old enough to remember :D I already figured that was the case, which is why I had linked to the wikipedia page...

Also have certbot running, typically use the webroot option. But I have HAProxy terminate the SSL/TLS, added a redirect for that /.well-known/acme-challenge/ path to a locally running nginx. Added a deploy script to copy the received certificates...

I figured Certbot out manually when it first came out I think 2016; I found the Standalone option easiest (no plugins or anything else handling; webserver shuts down, Certbot deploys its own webserver and puts cert files in a folder, then restart...

Yes, I often use that trick to test sites that haven't been made public yet. 192.168.10.10 mysite.example.com

According to Chatgpt - I had to use that since I don't know where else to look. Option B: With HTTPS (recommended if you have domain) your-domain.com { root * /usr/local/www/nextcloud file_server php_fastcgi 127.0.0.1:9000 {...

Forget AI. cat /etc/rc.conf | nc termbin.com 9999 Assuming the FreeBSD host does have a working internet connection.

Doesn't sound like the issue is FreeBSD. Knowing the exact error message is kind of crucial in determining what the problem was, so it's a shame you don't have it. Keep in mind that TrueNAS is not supported here. We only support FreeBSD, none of...

"Don't clog up threads" doesn't need a formal rule. It is common curtesy.

We need to BAN all AI here. This is getting tiresome from a FreeBSD helper standpoint. Bad enough people won't read the manuals now we have to fight outright lies. When we have to fight outright lies it becomes very dull to me. Ban users...
