No. We are not amused. And as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be...C-base kernel without end, Amen!

FULLY offtopic (pls no kill me!) But this whole thread does start to remind me about my old C64 days... oh dear... 10 print "This computer is hacked!" 20 goto 20

You can prevent coredumps by putting kern.coredump=0, or reroute them by putting kern.corefile=/dev/null in /etc/sysctl.conf.

When I came to Unix my programming ability was ahead of my ability to appreciate the existing tools and libraries. I wrote many a naive replacement for existing stuff, usually crippled versions.

I just fully replaced Java (a remnant from my old Solaris days) with Python, and I am hyped. Meaning: this wasn't just about purging, this is also about rewriting and rebuilding so many Java programs I made in the past. Not only did this...

Isn't this already a thing though? Anyone looked into /usr/bin/newgrp recently? It needs SUID to work, but it doesn't get it out of the box. Better yet... peter@zefiris:/home/peter $ newgrp newgrp: need root permissions to function properly...

I've just recently come back to FreeBSD after a period away and I had forgotten just how good core has been on the whole. I logged in and after a few years of modern Windows and Linux, I had forgotten what it's like to use an OS where there are...

Solaris introduced RBAC, role, profile and pfexec, but revived sudo in Solaris 11. Maybe it was too complicated for administrators to properly configure them. I find few people complain about SELinux these days compared to when it was introduced...

"It depends". (omg, why am I now thinking about Kill Bill? Ahem, anywhoo...) First things first: ports and packages? They're more or less the same thing. When you build a port? You're actually building a package which then gets installed...

Dear all, I recently installed FreeBSD 15. During the installation, I chose the packaged base installation. That means that now, my kernel is a part of a package. # pkg which /boot/kernel/kernel /boot/kernel/kernel was installed by package...

Creating a custom pkgbase kernel package alone is unsupported, currently. There are plans to add support for this. A custom pkgbase kernel package can be created, but it requires "buildworld" and other steps, unnecessarily IMHO. Aside from that...

Too bad. I just remembered that I wrote up the other changes back when. I currently don’t have the mental bandwidth to check through this thread, so I’m just leaving it here. Maybe there’s something in there that helps you...

I'm all for people who are capable of raising so much money. Good for them. I couldn't raise $0.50 to buy a loaf of bread if a were starving. Besides, this quote from the money-raisers is very interesting: That's what coding needs. It needs to...

I have always considered git to be a pain in the rear. We used it cause others used it and we had to interface to them. I think "them" used it for the same reason--other people used it, not because they liked it. If git was that good, why are...

I'm grateful there's people like you, even if it didn't work!! It was more than worth a try. Thank's for the link, I have been there already, but I can't remember if I tried the kern.maxdsiz settings. It might be far fetched, but I have my...

Hi! I've been in Linux for 5/6 years. I started quite early with Arch, been a while, and than switch to Artix (no systemd). Recently I discovered Alpine Linux, that is a great OS, but I started feeling the Linux universe was not enought for me...

Exactly, the problem was to make my homedir accessible for system-wide bin. Probably I'll follow the tip and create /opt. Thank you everyone for the exhaustive answers!

When I have something that's not in ports, I create a dir in my user home/. Maybe this will help you: hier.

the clue is in the error message for em3 em3: failed to allocate IRQ for rid 0, name irq0. for some reason, the driver was not able to find a free irq for em3. Perhaps there is a limitation on which irq's it can use. Unfortunately no clues in...

Oh no, it didn't work on, at least not on my FreeBSD-RELEASE-p5. # dmesg -a ... No core dumps found. --- Starting local daemons: cannot define inactive set table ddos: too many elements. Consider increasing...

Hello, I wanted to try out this WM built atop of fvwm2. My main desktop is KDE Plasma, I also use Windowmaker, and some tilers occasionally. In the first-run wizard NsCDE asks about theme integration. It doesn't mention that these are global...

du -sh /media/da0s3/lost+found 8.4G /media/da0s3/lost+found Looks like quite a bit of wasted space.

Hey there. I've just come across this discussion after a long time absent here. I don't have a real solution for this issue but you may appreciate a potential workaround. I still run into the error when loading large IP lists into tables. PF...

Thanks for your input on this herrbischoff Appreciate it! The information might help me (and others) solve this issue, especially the load on boot, If I'm lucky. Hoping for the best! Sounds like you have made some digging about this. Since I...

Looking through lost+found I see lots of files which simply consist of binary zeroes. How do I identify files which consist of binary zeroes?

Big server and a pool of machines that boot via PXE (diskless). Each physical machine can boot any of the OS installs based on what the server says, there is no fixed assignment.

Not always. For example Samsung allows to create a a bootable USB disk. I used it, and it worked.

Likely the next generation of juniors will be querying why its not re-written in MegaLang2126. And that FreeBSD is *still* dying because the masses aren't interested in C. Of course the Linux kernel will be an eclectic mess of C, Rust and...

When it comes to, ahem, "adult AI" then I'd rather rely on ComfyUI and some specific models ("checkpoints") from CivitAI. Also open source (actually developed in my favorite language of Python) and actually runs local and thus doesn't try to...

If you want to build a nuke or two it is more straightforward to directly look up the documents that Klaus Fuchs gave the Soviet Union. At least those are proven to work.

These statements somewhat contradict themselves a bit. Normally a user doesn't have r/w access to system folders and it's also common practice to prevent anonymous access into home directories of random users. Sorry, bit of a lame comment from...

You aren't telling us anything beyond "it doesn't work". Need details of what you did and what response you are getting.

Lua is utilized in base system and it has broken my installation before. I don’t think many know that. Sorry Lua community. But Python runs a rigorous development process with PEP and it compiles directly down to C. Has been around for a bit of...

What have you got on your Home Lab

Hey all I've had this issue for some time now but never got around to post it here. I'll post the error messages I get from knot DNS, however the issue is more general and happens in a similar fashion in my nginx and my hedgedoc jail. I have a...

No. If no one is interested in adding new devices or updating for existing devices, /usr/src/sys/dev/ shouldn't be updated, but it's continuously updated. And for USB devices, if no one is interested in adding new devices...

It doesn't seem really modular. Does a minimal concept prototype installation exist? What's the problem with running it virtual/emulated, apart from lack of fast direct GPU access for the speed? That can be considered 1 program...

I use $HOME/usr_$arch-$os/bin for the case that I'm on an NFS homedir. /opt is where I put self-compiled larger packages meant for the whole machine.

You need a program running the thing, such as llama.cpp. And there are many size variants of this model, you need to pick one to fit your hardware and speed expectations. Some assembly required.

It should be made to a normal installable program so it can be documented. I see no reason for some complex deep system integration. It can be an application that runs under a normal user unless it's hiding things.

To update disk firmware you usually use the vendor-supplied tool, which of course is windows only.

Then the issue is on the host or your router. Not the FreeBSD guest. Can you ping the default gateway address?
