You are confused and having hardened FreeBSD even more would not have solved the problem. The problem was with XenForo's software taking XenForo's generated forum offline. FreeBSD was not involved in that process directly as evidenced by the fact...

I have read that PHP 7.x had a lot of these kind of problems with SSL. As this seems to be related to CLI only, I'm thinking there might a need to tune something in FreeBSD, maybe a kern settings? Ulimit/Open files etc?!

For me, DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ssl=openssl35

I interpreted "jumped from" as a forklift upgrade and suspected some dangling library dependencies; but in this case you should be fine. Any chance the script is using openssl in some way and in particular something specific to 1.1.1 which is no...

I am using astro/foxtrotgps and x-forwarding that on some boards. Lowered ssh encryption level to improve display speed. Contemplating building a WAP with the Atheros instead of client mode..18650 Battery Box in the works. I bought a bunch of...

You'd be surprised. The other day I had the misfortune opportunity to run Firefox remotely. I tried tigervnc and X11. My highly scientific findings are: X11 via ssh was a no go. Scrolling down pages was grim. I even tried changing to the...

I would like it to run astro/opencpn on a reasonable-size monitor (say 27") and maybe support remote X forwarding or XRDP or something like that.

How much is double? I have 64GB but it's kind of too much for anything except multiple vm's or memory disks. No real user application, only experimental possibilities.

Here are some pictures of my current work.

I like the Rockchip brand. We have good support for RK3399 as seen on the Wiki for RockPro64 But sound chip unsupported. No audio output for me. DRM driver needs much patching to get working. SCFB is capable. So not an ideal media player. What...

AMD Athlon II: That's about 15 years old. Maybe the board the just dying from senility.

Forget about GPU (at least for now) but RK3399 boards are by far your best option, RockPro64 works well (for what it is), Pine64 (Allwinner) should also work pretty good. Radxa Rock 4SE should also work (not tested) but you need to pull in this...

Actually the sysrc line is correct, the service line was wrong. But that isn't the cause of the problem/

Whilst that was wrong it wasn't the cause of the problem.

Is it /usr/bin/xdg-open or /usr/local/bin/xdg-open? If former, you did some terrible things to that system.

Real Amazon or third-party sellers on Amazon?

Is it /usr/bin/xdg-open or /usr/local/bin/xdg-open? If former, you did some terrible things to that system.

Some people may find that interesting but it has nothing to do with FreeBSD. Or Linux for that matter.

I cannot believe that I have to convince you to act like a normal person. This is not something obscure. https://access.redhat.com/articles/2094931 Any JavaScript run as ROOT is a horrible idea. Browsers interpret JS. Ponder that. Browser...

Running a Web Browser as root user is probably the greatest inflection point. Do you realize what a web browser can do? Now give it unlimited root access to your system...

You obviously have poor OPSEC. Even after being electronically scammed out of money you still flout the norms. Why?

There was no server takedown attempt. It was forum software only and the problem was isolated to that and that alone. The server was fine. The mods had complete control over the server and were able to fix the XenForo software by remote access...

SLC is optimised for write speed. It's something like 10x (or higher) faster to write a single SLC cell than it is to write an MLC cell. For write-heavy workloads, like a ZFS log vdev, this makes a *HUGE* difference. Read speeds for SLC aren't...

It was some kind of user content injection for what I understood. Wouldn't it be preventable by quickly analyzing posted user content in a RAM sandbox to catch suspicious results? There must be arbitrary differences between actual substantial...

Yeah. Borland sold to CodeGear and then Embarcadero bought that if I recall. Since C++Builder 6, they bloated it up considerably though. (Actually C++Builder 5 was the peak in my opinion...) Borland Kylix was cool in theory but I never quite...

What we're trying to do is just establish that the power supply is working with a very fundamental test. By taking the negative lead of the voltmeter, the black one, and touching the black wire of one of the connectors (or the metal of the case...

It sounds a bit late in the process, but one of the things that I always do first when a system isn't responding to a button, is to disconnect the power and hold the power button for a good 30 seconds. For some reason that seems to dissipate...

During the setup of my NAS/Home server, I encountered some flaws. One is that I miss a geom_arc module -- the gcache does s/th else, it would better be called geom_rs_xlt ("recordsize translator") or such: Since CoW/CoW suffers from write...

I've looked here: https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm And I've looked here: https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/arm/#hw There are a lot of boards and a lot of caveats. Do you have practical FreeBSD experience with an ARM board you would recommend?

I do not understand. You had A, you flashrom'd B and put it in the B board.

I do not understand. What do you call connector here? I could remove some peripherals, but not the place where they are connected. Should I test that peripherals get electricity from their connectors? You mean to test that plugged cables of the...

underscore "_" in service name not "-" for php_fpm service php_fpm restart

What strange, obscure or long obsolete C and C++ compilers did you use to write software? Here are some examples that I professionally used at one point or another: Borland Turbo C Borland C++ Builder Desmet C (ran on IBM PC DOS 2 or 3.x)...

I had a M4A88TD or something very close to that model; the BIOS chip was socketed/removable. I had a BIOSTAR mobo too and booted it to Linux LiveUSB and flashrom'd the ASUS BIOS image to the chip and put that chip in the ASUS board (I broke a...

OK, here's a useful trick to test the PSU standalone. Check that the PSU is producing the correct output voltages, that's a good first step. View: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NQUYWGKJj7U

Use more-optimized software with lower RAM requirements :D Become a E-recylcer and visit some companies :p (I don't e-recycle but most of my hardware is free decommissioned corporate stuff) Disk swap might be useful (didn't help on Linux with...

OK. So I'd bet you have one connector that's not hooked to anything. Or you can remove a connector to a peripheral device like networking or the graphics card. Black is ground. Measure the voltages on the other pins. You should have something on...

Well let's think about that. I would think chainsaws would be less secure if they were running but pigs are always on except when they're sleeping.

I have one. What should I mess?

The only real grief I have about yesterday's ordeal was the fact I skipped my workout, skipped dinner and probably smoked an entire pack of cigarettes in less than an hour. I'd do it again without hesitation whenever the need arises, that is a...

hruodr Do you have or can borrow a voltmeter? I don't remember what country you're in but Harbor Freight sells a cheap one for under $12 and I once saw it on sale for $4. It would be good enough.

Many people complain, but only a few are truly willing to offer support.

This is literally what happened. SirDice and myself both caught the defacement live (and in some way, caused it by being online -- see point 3 in quote). SirDice analyzed the code (which was put in a simple post), nuked the user and their post...

Not that I could find in our situation. I took apart their injected javascript. It didn't do much besides redirecting to a github repo that hosted the "defacement" page. That defacement page also contained some javascript, but that was nothing...

My info.php <?php phpinfo(); ? is not resolving. Can anyone see what I could have missed by installing Apache with this code? #!/bin/sh # Ensure the script is run as root if [ "$(id -u)" -ne 0 ]; then echo "This script must be run as root!"...
