    Have you looked at dns/dnsmasq ?

    So, no 3.5" mech disks? A mini PC with a few small drives and 2.5 Gbit network is possible but that gets more expensive if storage space counts. Especially now. Prices are ridiculous. We need more manufacturers of memory and storage.

    IIUC this wastes memory. Maybe not much, but it could be zero waste if only the neccessary modules were loaded. When you change some hardware, e.g. the soundcard, this test needs to run again and increases the boot time. Why do modern UEFI...

    I reported a horrible bug in the default configuration of local-unbound in FreeBSD more than 5 years ago. NOTE: This bug does not affect the upstream (genuine) unbound, instead just FreeBSD's configuration of it shipped as default in the base...

    Many thanks to T-Daemon for pointing out something I hadn't noticed and that I could use iocage list -l which gives me what I need. ps. I noticed iocage list -PRO which looks quite interesting.

    Mjölnir reacted to SirDice's post in the thread How to set ServerName on home network with Like Like.
    Many, many years ago I set up an "authoritative" domain with a bogus TLD .home. For multiple reasons, the first was that I wanted to learn about DNS and how it worked. The second reason was to have something I could use for my homelab to register...

    Did you add the directory in your httpd.conf? Or just put it in the directory? What I have found, (not that I know much about it), is that for example, I have my DocumentRoot. Then, not touching the conf file, I make a subdirectory under it. Now...

    Why waste precious memory? Even if the memory for the modules is labeled as "file-backed by an immutable file", i.e. it does not need swapspace because it's immutable, any unused module loaded still comsumes some kernel metadata, since the...

    It seems that IOCAGE works very differently to other jails. I can achieve what I want by writing a script using jls and the parsing the output to run jexec JID ifconfig and parsing that, but I thought there may be something ready made. Maybe...

    I disagree about SSD vs HDD for the simple reason of price per GB. HDD is still cheaper and with proper buffering/caching the end user shouldn't notice any throughput difference. Also HDD tech is very mature and public. flash memory is still...

    Welcome! I think you'll like FreeBSD. It is in some respect simpler, neater, and more organized than Linux. It's easier to see and control all the moving parts in it.

    IMV the major difference is /dev/sda1 v /dev/ada1 or /dev/da1 for naming devices which must take some getting used to for a seasoned Linux user. The great advantage FreeBSD has over Linux is its package management system, ie pkg v pacman, apt...

    The meta-loader can simply load the correct kernel module. Similarly to snd_driver (which loads every available snd_* driver), but maybe with some added logic to only load the appropriate kernel module? Not sure if the logic is possible, it might...

    Is that the same CalJam that Deep Purple played at? Ozzy really shouldn't cup the microphone like that, ruins the sound. Or maybe it is the sound he's looking for.
