Been doing a lot of driving lately. I used to listen to the radio but no more. Too many commercials on one. Too much whining and complaining on two. Too much "we're the downtrodden" on the third. Made me tense. Then I remembered that I don't...

My first PC dated May 1986 is still happily working and it has never ever had a fault. Last quirky computer I had was still in 20th century... Maybe the issue are the various peripherals and stuff people use, like the TV card you mention...its...

I don't think that's appropriate here. Let's talk about

At first I thought you meant Trump.

My laptop sometimes freezes at POST; I downgraded the BIOS to before-MFG (along with XHCI + other firmware) and ME disabled with probably some on-chip version higher than the BIOS hookups so it could be anything, but everything's fine once it...

Very true. Both sides are more similar than they think. For AI - Bullsh*tting that AI will take over the world. Against AI: Bullsh*tting that AI will take over the world.

I have a Carbon X1 under Linux where the wifi hangs once in a while. Unfortunately in Linux you can't reset the wifi hardware without reboot the way you can under FreeBSD netif restart. Otherwise things are pretty stable.

whatever's built into the third-gen iPhone SE

I know the rules, but saying it like that casually sounds odd :p I might phrase it "Me and some friends are headed to the store" (implying they're my friends but not double-subjecting)

Guys. I was baking sourdough and other breads every week for 10 years. I also owned restaurants that featured bread. It's not that I don't know how. I just forgot a few things and need to get back into the rhythm after not baking for five years.

Ah, I could see that. To comment about it would get into the realm of politics. Was it Barnum who said no one ever went broke overestimating the stupidity of the American public. (Meaning USA).

I'll do it for $9 million.

As a user Subversion did all I ever needed..

fwiw, I have never had a hardware failure. Unless you want to include the mouse that went bad on me just a couple of months ago. Or the keyboard I spilled coffee on. The computer I bought in 1998 or so in my basement turned on and ran just fine...

scottro I was talking about American populated sites where the educational opportunities passed them by, apparently.

loveydovey You can also wear jeans to the opera and run Windows. You can buy bread in a plastic bag from the grocery store. Some of my breads take three days before they're ready to bake. One of these things is not like the other.

At a local Trader Joe's where I frequently go (hrm, sounds like a poem), they often have this one on. I'm putting a link to the official video, which has Dr. House (Hugh Laurie, looking as he did in Blackadder) and John Malkovich in it. View...

So you can create a thread here.

I should mark this solved, as deleting all content and leaving the thread's page seems to successfully do what I want.

I am realizing my reply was wrong. These are server side cookies retaining content. Draft writings saved. So logout does nothing. Toggle BB code and manually delete content. That is how I do it.

I promised myself to not waste any more money on aarch64 hardware that tends to lose support the day its released. ... so naturally I recently bought an E20C. Why this stands out is that it is listed as officially supported on OpenBSD's...

Very true. Both sides are more similar than they think. For AI - Bullsh*tting that AI will take over the world. Against AI: Bullsh*tting that AI will take over the world.

can't fool me, that's a photo of a meyer lemon with the hue adjusted in post.

I get about 210MBps (using dd) under FreeBSD. IIRC it was 340MBps or so under linux on the same pi4 & same SDD when I last measured it. Also note that USB 3.0-3.1 raw speed is 5Gbps, while USB 3.2 gen 2 can go to 10Gbps. BOT has much more...

The major problem I see here is the external USB connections which could be or become unreliable. A rebuild or a mirror on a large disk is probably taking many days on here, and you would have to do it after every USB hickup.

I do not know. I have found my notes dated back to 2020 and retested them with Win10. Fortunately, my local git kept these old patches.

I did bootable USB flash from Windows ISO couple times with ntfs-3g, ms-sys and 7z. Its rather easy. Just keep few things in mind: 1. NTFS partition should be created with some offset from start of disk. 2. 2 bootblocks should be installed with...

So I need a Windows 10 ISO? Will it work with any other version?

Assume that da0 is clean USB stick and Windows10.iso is ISO image. Proper command sequence for patched ntfs-3g is: sudo gpart create -s MBR da0 sudo gpart add -t ntfs -a 8064 da0 sudo gpart set -a active -i 1 da0 sudo mkntfs -v -f /dev/da0s1...

Does ISR differ from hardware/driver handling? A quick search sounds like it's software-based QoS (sounds like em/igb could do something hardware-specific?)

I just tried ms-sys -7 /dev/da0 ms-sys -n -f /dev/da0s1 /dev/da0 was not bootable. Can /dev/da0s1 be created with gpart? And does it have to have a particular partition type and fomat?

Trying to understand the advantage. Where does the time profit come from. if any? It looks like trying to SMP something while it's a sequential process anyway. Everything in the line has to finish without errors.

Your experience is a bit different than mine. I've found that most non native speakers prefer to be corrected. (Though privately, if possible).

That is a beautiful cat and a great picture of said cat.

Going to try the manual stick creation and module loading tonight. This seems the easiest to me. I think it will work. I also suggested to put the kernel module in the memstick image root. There's a few KB left, so no problem. It takes a few...

Can I just say something? Wow. It's so nice when you spread network processing across all cores. It's palpable for a desktop FreeBSD user. It's literally heaven on earth. And the tunables are so accessible (unlike Linux). /boot/loader.conf...

Good. I thought the topic will be about a president.

Nanopi R6C 6 Watts running opnsense with nvme Orange Pi 5 Plus 8.5 Watts running opnsense with sdcard

Have you looked at drsnx60 's suggestion? Apparently updating the seconds of the clock app sucks up a lot of CPU cycles. That might be the reason why everything else feels sluggish and the system refuses to sleep.

Because the defaults are supposed to be reasonable for every use case, not just desktop.

Absolute lowest power requirement possible. I know it can be done on amd64 with messing with the BIOS, too.

I can report that Orange Pi 5 Plus and NanoPi R6C work with FreeBSD 14,15,16. Both boards have HDMI output functioning. They require the EDK2 instead of the normal u-boot. EDK2 UEFI firmware for Rockchip RK3588 platforms

I mentioned EDK2 firmware above and the real solid option for that is Quartz64. There is a github forEDK2 instead of U-Boot for Quartz64. https://github.com/jaredmcneill/quartz64_uefi/releases/tag/v1.2...

It looks like you can strike ROCK64 from my recommendation. I cannot get HDMI working on ROCK64 and looking back it has not been supported. hdmi clock missing. https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/RockChip So RK3399 is really only option among Rockchip...

The Anthropic guy said this: So in my mind that's saying: "We're not going to support FreeBSD."
