    You're so young. ;) In the beginning there was init. Berkeley (BSD) tweaked it a little while AT&T created SYSV's init. Sun came out with an init that worked with their SMF (services) daemon. But init was still there and could be used in SYSV...

    Hello, Previously I tried to use Ollama on FreeBSD with my Nvidia GPU and it did not work, it uses CPU only, on the host or in a jail. Recently I have been using llama.cpp (version 8182, 28 Feb 2026) in a jail with Nvidia GPU support without...

    Because it chokes up the process, so now only the regular www/chromium gets built, something that took almost 25 hours by the way. The Queued ports section is the total of all ports that are set to be built. That doesn't mean they will all end...

    FreeBSD, as any unix, offer a lot of possibilities for building something like a NAS, special in FreeBSD is ZFS with its zpool scrub. You can boot with pxeboot, mount with nfs, or send files with rsync, etc. But the biggest problem I always...

    What is the disadvantage of providing a ZVOL to a non-COW fs VM? I'd like to have it all on ZFS if at all possible, so that zpool and geom do not interfere. Unfortunately we should not swap to a zvol, although this is explicitely handled in one...

    Not that I'm aware of, but I'm not a ipfw user so never looked for one. But the general gist is to query the contents of the table (sort the results), then use drill -Q mysite.example.com (sort those results too), and compare both outputs...

    As -nographic sets the console to stdio you need to have serial console enabled to see it. On FreeBSD that means console=comconsole in /boot/loader.conf. Not sure if multicons was supported in those early versions. If you have qemu compiled with...
