The problem is I don’t know how to write lo0

Food, spelled with a u, with two dots over it 😆

I used 2GB default every install; apparently I had wild mem use while playing D3 but didn't notice anything :p (performance was good, nothing crashed)

The question is: what does nationality mean. Citizenship of a juridical entity? Membership of an ethnic group? Just be born in a place with an identity?

His family is also from Swabia / Schwaben, his father born in Augsburg, swabian region. But he is born in Salzburg in today's Austria, very Bavarian Bavaria from before the Bavarian colonization of Austria.

It still means the 2x recommendation is bogus.

I'm from the US, so of course, my knowledge of European history just covers basics. I did know the painter was Austrian, though Crivens, I first read your post as Mozart being Australian, which conjured up an interesting mental picture of...

That's why I said "actually actively using" those 2x of swap. Of course swap that is unused doesn't do any harm.

That recommandation is not generally useful. In the end it depends on what you run on there, and that dictates how much RAM+swap you need. The more RAM you have the less swap you need - for the same workload. A system actually actively using 2x...

That's the big trick the austrians played on us. They made the world believe that that painter was german while also claiming that Mozart was Austrian.

I would say he was Schwabe as the Hohenzollern. Prussians disappeared after the Teutonic order was "secularized", around 1700 was their language death.

ollama can run LLMs that are in the cloud.

ollama port has Vulkan issues on my setup, it just won't load the libggml-vulkan that is installed. I have about 6 times more cores than OP's computer, CPU inference is slow. The pace of response makes 300bps serial connection feel speedy...

So you need to find a cloud AI provider that has an API and run that in ollama. You already know that Althropic doesn't like your country, what about OpenAI?

What about the most famous German of all time ;) I guess he doesn't count because he was Austrian...

Yes, it's a resource-intensive process as you can imagine, and usually requires the use of a discrete GPU. There are ways to use the "cloud" if you only have an iGPU at your disposal. Obviously, that means it's not "local" anymore. There are...

You're welcome! Hopefully my post can trigger some more interest. The other day I installed OpenBSD on that device (because unfortunately that OS has no Live Mode like FreeBSD does) and the sound chip was not recognized. In order to respond to...

vulpine, if you're loooking for a word, I'd say tribalism. Whether the group is gay, immigrants, different colored skin, or different religious beliefs, there are always people who just like to bully others. The comedian Emo Phillips once said...

There's a name at the top of the script, but no luck searching on it. No contact information on their website either. I guess they don't want to be contacted. You might try leaving a comment on the youtube video.

Control crisis. Any device that's made dependent of manufacturer software has also been stripped of level-0 user control.. This is why smartphones can't have a hardwired keyboard. The owner of the system could seize authority and exclude all...

CUPS can be used without a browser, and with a printer connected by USB (though I've only used network connnections for years). I'm not trying to be argumentative, and I'm sure you're correct about the non BSD part. I have a page that includes...

This is good, because it will force a compliant implementation to come along. 3 major changes so far in 2026 in response to that mailing list thread, hardly any before this most recently. sysutils/lprng is GPL. It didn't work for me on FreeBSD...

Why manufacturers of electronic computing and communication devices, supported by various IT and software development groups, are pushing the so called "latest and greatest technologies" that require never ending updates, upgrades and fixes of...

How I got Home Assistant running might give you some ideas to try. Save this as a template, uefi-boot.conf for example: loader="uefi" uefi_vars="yes" cpu=1 memory=2048M network0_type="virtio-net" network0_switch="public" disk0_type="virtio-blk"...

... still adding to and sorting the list. An awful lot of people, but I'm not sure who really belongs (like Friedrich 2, who was Prussian, thus not German. Or was he? Introduced the potatoe to the masses by banning it) Carl von Linde...

https://www.audiobookshelf.org/docs/ It claims Audiobookshelf is an open-source self-hosted media server for your audiobooks and podcasts.

"In" or "from"? If "in" (living or dead), Nikola Tesla, Werner Von Braunn and the rest of the Manhattan Project. And if living? My wife. Maybe not important on a Global scale but pretty darn important to em

I just came across a useful resource for FreeBSD users https://www.youtube.com/@femtopc I finally got Nextcloud up and running, although not quite the way I wanted, but it's a start. Does anyone know how to contact the person who creates the...

I am the most important person in my country. Without me, I wouldn't even be able to post anything here.

Just a few off the top of my head. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Boole https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Babbage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing...

I can't seem to get FreeBSD 15 to boot with TowBoot using the ROCKPRO64 img on SD card. I get a scrambled display.

Local LLMs will be no fun on that.

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

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-arch/2026-February/001202.html > How does OpenBSD handle this? It supports lpd in the basic system. They use the same code with the same bugs. DES

Let me summarize a little. It seems to have started with this bug report. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=293278 https://reviews.freebsd.org/D55399 des@ tried to fix it, but it seemed to have a fundamental problem, so he...

well instead of forking freebsd you could instead volunteer to maintain the lpr/lpd port, if it matters to you that much

The show often featured Mel Blanc. The voice of Bugs Bunny and a multitude of other cartoon characters. The guy was hilarious.

Yeah that one was funny. In the hackernews article, someone put a Shakespeare quote in there. The results were amusing.

Original article here. Consider this when replying. FreeBSD runs on this… FreeBSD runs on this… and FreeBSD runs on this…! It’s easy to get FreeBSD running on a Raspberry Pi. It’s easy to manage multiple hard drives with ZFS. So we were...

Heh, I remember in high school, my friend Kirk and I used to go right to my house after school to catch Bugs Bunny. School got out at 3:00, Bugs came on at 3:30, and my house was close enough to catch it. It was high school, and I guess, at the...

This movie's English title is Small, Slow but Steady. In its native Japanese title seems more like Keiko Eyes Open Wide, maybe, but maybe a native speaker could give a better translation. (My wife just said, I'm watching TV, leave me alone--err...

Translate English to "LinkedIn Speak" 😆 https://translate.kagi.com/?from=en&to=linkedin I tried PvP banter; I imagine telling another player that would ironically work better 🤣

Animated series or cartoon series. Looney Tunes (Bugs Bunny, Marvin the Martian, Daffy Duck, and Coyote/Road Runner being my favorites) Les Aventures de Tintin G.I. Joe series Transformers series

Btw why does OpenBSD have songs and we don't? We could've had a prog metal epic called pkgbasify for the last release :(

Precisely, there's also the issue that it's a license to use the code in that way, it's not a contract which brings with it any particular obligation beyond the ability to use the source in ways that follow from it. It's also unclear why consumer...

JohnK I love them. I think they had 4 albums and each is different. I found them when they went inactive and disbanded. This band was well known but it didn't generate any traction live. The project leader disbanded it and went on. If a band...
