I have a friend who loves Mecha stuff. I never have. I think my favorite anime is Gintama--sometimes serious, sometimes silly--probably close to 400 episodes though, plus two live action movies, a few live action specials. To give an idea of why...

I have 3 Beelinks, 2 running FreeBSD. It may not work with wireless during install. Had some minor issues with one of them. The boot only ISO couldn't see the wireless or the ethernet card. I used the disk1 ISO, and that saw the wireless. It...

Either worked fine for me on 8th-gen and FreeBSD, and I could swap on-the-fly from BIOS no reinstall (kind-of impressive; I couldn't figure out VMD on any Linux distro :p) I'd use AHCI (afaik no RST benefits off-Windows); RST booted slightly...

*bong noises*

One of my favorites too. Mecha franchises were so popular back then. There are many others whose names I don't even remember. But my favorite is still Transformers. The figurines were so fun too.

Knowledge is knowledge about the own knowledge. Does one know what one knows? Perhaps only as far as one does not know what one does not know about what one knows.

I do; it was a fun day on Windows when I found how to use curl :p (Linux/FreeBSD I use wget but did manual browser DLs/clicks on Windows)

Whats a good size on a partition? ’N’ mountpoint

Well, I am not a professional programmer, I write my programs to solve my tasks. Documentation are normally then commentaries in the code. Of course, sharing is a nice idea, but who shares his improvised solutions for own tasks?

It doesn’t find the installation in any boot option :)

When I installed from ACHI it keeps booting in UEFI

Shall FreeBSD be installed with ACHI or Intel?

The problem now it boots in UEFI. Help needed!

Now it says Invalid signature detected Disabled Secure boot solved this! Think the Ports tree is definately recommended here You could create a partition here and this is DOS Partitioning is always recommended Although on my device it says no...

Hey there! As the creator of daemonless.io, I’m thrilled to hear that the project helped you get Immich running! I completely agree with your frustrations regarding Podman, but here is the wonderful thing about OCI images: you are not required...

Something like hover boards :p

thanks, I tried that and solved it eventually while I was writing this reply ! opencl now works for me with rusticl: pkg install opencl mesa-devel mesa-gallium-va clinfo then define the env variables: RUSTICL_ENABLE=radeonsi; export...

Seem like I should be installing using UFS

I get this message (booted in multi-user mode.) Loader variables: vfs.root.mountfrom=zfs:zroot/ROOT/default Manual root filesystem specification: <fstype>:<device> [options] Mount <device> using <fstype> and with the specified...

git pull first. Your local copy apparently isn't yet aware the branch exists. So pull first.

Maybe it's time for developers to start writing better software that doesn't require so much RAM! I feel the pain though, I wanted to get a system that could handle compiling some ports but the prices are pretty crazy. I was tempted by the...

It says mountroot>

Here is an excellent article by Stefano Marinelli (the BSD Cafe guy) about problems he's having with customers who use AI to suggest fixes. I love that last part. Also, And here's a thought:

I set this up today, using the JM20 with freebsd 14.4R running the windowmaker desktop. I have mpd configured according to the forum howto here:- https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/howto-desktop-musicpd-mpd-configuration.54600/ and there is a...

Well, I don't know if this is what you mean (output from dmesg in Fedora): root@fedora:/home/werner# dmesg | grep i2c [ 1.875746] i2c_designware 80860F41:04: I2C bus managed by PUNIT [ 1.893183] axp20x-i2c i2c-INT33F4:00: AXP20x variant...

My wife is Apple everything, but I always went with Android because side loading was easier. At the time, I would frequently transfer epubs over--I don't know if it's still a pain with Apple or not, but at the time, side loading epub books...

I've had the Brother multifunction MFC-L3780CDW for a few years now and though I don't use it often, it works well. At one point, I had a color inkjet HP and monotone Brother laser when I had more need for both. Brother's always served me well. I...

Ethnically, he was Ashkenazi. Are Ashkenazis Germans? In my opinon yes. The word Ashkenas is used in jiddisch daitsch to call Germany. But one could consider it as a separate ethnicity from central / east Europe that spoke a German dialect and...

Not so simple. The question is, if there were Germans in the year 0 or only Germanic tribes, mainly divided in: Rhein-Weser Germanenen (eg. Franken), Nordsee-Germanen (eg. Frisians, Saxons, Angels), Elb-Germanen (the wildest according to the...

Postscript is a wonderful high level programming language, PCL low level, I doubt it is usable to write programs by hand. Postscript printers process it inside the printer. The first postscript printer, made by apple, had a more powerful...

Maybe we should do away with countries at some point and just accept that we are one world? That would put a lot of grifters out of a job, that's why it will not happen. Which is sad.

ok so I wrote an even simpler example and it turns out it's hanging at ret = clGetPlatformIDs(ret_num_platforms, platforms, NULL); printf("ret at %d is %d\n", __LINE__, ret); ret = clGetDeviceIDs( platforms[1], CL_DEVICE_TYPE_ALL, 1...

It was "self-healing"! That guy was way ahead of his time! Yes, tongue firmly in cheek. By the way atax1a thanks for the link! That's an awesome repo and blog post.

Such "clever bits" are usually like a double edged sword. Some time they are just right but you really have to know your stuff.... Incidentally siglongjmp() is preferable to longjmp(). I remember struggling hard to make this work correctly when...

what's your point ? I doubt it's an issue with those simple examples... every simple OpenCL test I built and tested causes a GPU hang. I also tried the Khronos OpenCL examples from the SDK, they all hang in the same manner for me.

I'd get an iPhone in a heartbeat but I'm tied into the Google stuff too much and don't want to fight with "making it work". If I had Apple gear I might switch. My one son is in theater and film so he's all Apple everything

Weren't Postscript printers more expensive? As they were identical to another printer, but had an added letter to some they were Postscript, for using licensing rights. Postscript printers are required for older Apple though. But PCL is a more...

one time at a previous job some HR recruiter wanted to see our linkedin for some reason or another, and we said "i don't have a linkedin account" and watched her struggle to process this revelation. still don't have a linkedin! 8D

Just because one member criticized some of your posts, don't take it too hard. Your choices of subject are, even if sometimes, not technical, often interesting in other ways. (Speaking as another who tends to post too much about non-technical...

I wouldn't have thought of Muir first, either, (though I was thinking USA, not just CA). And no, I never realized the flugle horn is a tuba--I always though of it as a sort of trumpet, or maybe French horn. I think it was used in the Who's...

OnePlus 6 is the best phone I know of (8G RAM, SDM845/upstream Linux support, unlocked UEFI bootloader with Renegade Project that even ran native Windows 10 ARM, and Qualcomm EDL tools for complete R/W any partition) I use one now with LineageOS...

absolutely! https://github.com/kragen/xcompose/blob/master/dotXCompose That's not ASCII; ASCII is definitionally a 7-bit code. You're talking about IBM Code Page 437.

Agreed, (stops to add a like to hruodr's post). I've avoided HP for many years now, and I'm sure, that like any other vendor specific program, they add a lot of unneeded cruft.

Technically it is allowed to use longjmp from a signal handler. But in practice you leak all kinds of resources. Doing it from a segfault handler (when you don't use segfaults on purpose) is a bit adventurous.

Hello, I am trying to get OpenCL running on my Freebsd 15 PC. I have 2 AMD MI50 GPU (vega20, radeon pro VII bios). These work great to run llama.cpp with the vulkan backend for general LLM, so I know the hardware works. I would like to also run...

What should or could give a different impression? And who are we?
