Good thing it got patched. There's a security advisory. What more is there to talk about?

Assumed that you machine has 2 M.2 (or other to connect fast NMRAM) you can use a mirror and always have a spare that you glue inside the case of the machine. You can compute the propability of failure and maybe it's low enough for you.

Often confuses newbies. With FreeBSD there's only one ports tree. All supported versions (at this time that's 13.5; 13 will soon be EoL though, 14.4 and 15.0) use that same ports tree. Which basically means all versions of FreeBSD have the same...

Oh, and just checked, nothing disappeared. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/easily-install-and-run-apache-in-a-jail.102145/ Yep, that seems to be the case here.

Dammit, apparently you need to be a mod to view that list. Anyway, active mods/admins are Crivens , DutchDaemon and me. I'm usually not around during the weekend, although I might drop in to see if anything's stuck in the queue for too long.

Thanks for taking time to make a how to :)

Sound daemon like sndiod, right? I tried it, but it seems that it doesn't work: % sndoid -dddd -f /dev/dsp.mymic snd0 pst=cfg.default: rec=0:1 play=0:1 vol=8388608 dup snd0 pst=cfg.0: rec=0:1 play=0:1 vol=8388608 dup...

It doesn't look like I ever booted FreeBSD 15.0 on this Pi5 16 GB. I should do so.

Sounds like an old install that used the old EFI loader image. Partition is bigger but the FAT32 image is much smaller, that kind of messed up the filesystem. What does gpart show tell you? How big is the efi partition actually? You may need to...

Not related to your issue, but don't use /mnt for anything 'permanent'. It's supposed to be a temporary mount point. /mnt/ empty directory commonly used by system administrators as a temporary mount point hier

Posts perhaps, thread starters probably not. If the thread starter is in the queue (because the OP edited it for example) the whole thread kind of disappears.

The if_re driver is included with the GENERIC kernel. No need to load it explicitly (it's going to complain it already exists). https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC?h=releng/15.0#n272 This has nothing to do with the base...

Ya, because USB 3.x nowadays is the common interface to transport virtually any lower protocoll. I have dark memory that there exists a physical plug & interface to connect SATA external (miniSATA?), but I guess it's rarely used. USB 3.x should...

I just found out you can use openldap on freebsd & forward to Active Directory ... With all your FreeBSD stored in AD. The inverse does not work, Microsoft always does "hostile takeovers" of "Standards".

My issue is: A "nopulse" flavor was created cause not everyone was happy with a taskbar pulling in a sound server as dependency. Now there is also Pipewire which would be pulled in also by the "nopulse" flavor, which might make the users of...

Better still, stop using windows and use a real operating system like freebsd.

I frankly agree with SirDice on account of Windows administration. But... for comparison with UNIX, root account is generally limited to the machine... and it's possible to organize/limit daemon accounts if they want to do admin tasks on other...

We have a Cyber Security group within the DoD organization and I do not see the need for them to have Domain Admin as their job is to view the DC's security logs and scan the network with Splunk.... They do not need Domain admins right specially...

I'm very sorry, but I don't understand at all what you're trying to say here. Can you explain terms like "Cyber Team" and so on?

Old thread that got necroposted by a spam account.

So it's something you coded yourself? Add libblocklist functions, then you can let blocklistd add those rules dynamically.

The sizes of your support vdevs seem strange to me. I computed the sum of the sizes of all small files in my data: find / -type f -size 1 -print > files.1blk.list ... find / -type f -size 16 -print > files.16blk.list wc -l files.1blk.list...

This is ok if the log and cache vdevs are on devices that are faster than SSD_A and SSD_B. But your log vdev has a lower redundency level than the zpool has, and that violates common practice, advise and common sense, too. It might be ok...

We have a new and fresh VM Ware install of FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p5. When trying ports-mgmt/portmaster after running net/gitup , we get the following several hundred lines on the screen: ... ===>>> No /usr/ports/base/FreeBSD-xz-dev...

A zpool cache vdev can not be a ZFS mirror -- RTFM zpoolconcepts; it could be on a geom mirror though, IIUC. Please read carefully the description of my setup: All L2ARC caches are striped over partitions on 2 NVMe SSDs * The redundancy...

The short and most simple fix on is to use GnuTLS as far as curl is concerned (especially if you're on i386 given the above), going with compatible options and curl's own unit tests it's the most compatible alternative. I doubt you'll notice a...

Well, lldb shouldn't just hang even if the user code is screwed up. Also - Ugh eclipse.

One way is to put a sound daemon and instruct the daemon to open this device.

It is not clear to me what you need to know. You just start the thing and pulseaudio clients will work (as well as jack clients).

Heh that's not the way it works. Quake 1 is not a 16 bit game, it is 32 bit. DOS isn't a OS in 2026 terms. It has residency - it sets up code in particular pieces of memory, and wires them into software interrupt services. The program called...

Hey guys I'm documenting the behaviour and uses of pmap_active_cpu(9), this function was written by Konstantin Belousov in 2021 i guess for implementing membarrier() syscall in FreeBSD. pmap_active_cpus(pmap_t pmap, cpuset_t *res) I understand...

Hey... The new version of x11/sfwbar (1.0-beta17) has added pipewire as dependency (I have an upgraded port locally). There were discussions about having a 'nopulse' flavor here: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=285476 So I...

To an extent. They can do iterative work (i.e scan a little bit of the file, then poll the GUI) but the debugger (cooperative and interrupt driven rather than pre-emptive scheduling) very much allowed you to pause and interact with the program...

I finally have time to return to this. I implemented poll handler for my virtual dsp device. Now, virtual_oss command above does work and registers my virtual device: # cat /dev/sndstat Installed devices: pcm0: <Conexant CX20590 (Analog...

That Java project required JDK 8 for building, but seemingly Adoptium's JDK on Windows does something different than JRE for GUI (app won't do OGL/DX with JDK8 but it's fine JRE8). That client was the oddest Java set-up I had so I was going to...

Anything with achievements (a Steam feature) needs a working client, which is the vast majority of games. You can work around that with a "Steam emulator", but meh.
