Did you set/unset options on those ports? If not, then there's really no point in building from ports in the first place. If you did customize the options then installing the package would 'reset' those. The packages in the FreeBSD repositories...
I'd remove everything inside that directory. They're a result of a filesystem check finding issues, you can usually do absolutely nothing with those files.
I think that's old news. There was a small period where Portmaster didn't have a port maintainer and I believe that's when things started to turn towards port removal. However, nowadays it has a new maintainer and the script continues to work...
PCI Slot 1 shares the interrupt with the onboard Realtek network. You're probably not going to need the onboard LAN so I would suggest disabling it in the BIOS.

For those wanting to test new wow64, here some patches for it: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D56178 .
Currently it appears that intel gpu are broken for 32bit and dxvk, but it could be nice to have more testing.
Changing DNS settings isn't magically going make routing work.
Again, the issue is not on the FreeBSD guest. The FreeBSD guest can ping the gateway but nothing beyond that gateway, which means the problem is on the gateway itself.
Guys,
write your passwords on paper, and deposit that at some safe location, let only trusted ones know where to find it.
In the last half year three people died in my social sorroundings. We already are in an age where people have all their...
Back in the 1970s, a radio station I worked at had an audio board from the 1940s that we had to use for recording commercials and the news. Parts of it didn't work and management was cheap and wouldn't replace it. One night, one of the guys took...

For patches, you should be able to use the files directory, that is /usr/ports/x11-wm/dwm/files and put your patches in there. Building the port should handle it. I use the move-resize patch and put it in there, then, during build, as the...
Thanks for checking it out! You're right, the port is a great starting point - I didn't know about the make extract approach, that's a clean way to get the base source with FreeBSD paths already sorted.
In my case I went the manual route because...
I'm not familiar with that particular PC, but FreeBSD works fine on a Beelink SER5 Pro, as well as a Beelink SER5 (don't really know the difference). I think wifi worked out of the box on both, with an AX200 card. You might be able to find the...
There's nothing in your rc.conf that seeming does anything with routes, except maybe DHCP on your re1 interface. But that's not going to touch lo0 or 127.0.0.1. Anything in /etc/rc.local perhaps? Also check for files in /etc/rc.conf.d/.
I was actually thinking of the coast trail https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Coast_Trail . It looks pretty nice! I found some good photos here: https://oregonessential.com/best-hikes-oregon-coast/

No sound, you probably just need to select a new output, see here: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/multimedia/#sound-setup (specialy section 9.2.3). If using pulseaudio (or pipewire with pulseaudio support), check the mixer app on your...
I'm realled pleased with my mfsBSD img now, although it would be nice to make some additions.
One thing I would like do is use zsh as my shell because I use mc a lot and it works just the way I like under zsh, so apart from adding it as a pkg...
Turns out there's at least one useful zero-byte program. I ran into it on Hacker News, but the original site appears to have been taken down by AI bots. Here's the last version I can find on the Internet Archive...

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...

What's wrong with this evergreen guy from the first chapter of Genesis? Why hasn't it been fixed for so long?
In theory, it's a perfectly mature product, developed according to the canons of software engineering...
My usb mouse works without any moused_* settings in rc.conf.
The moused daemon starts automatically with type 'evdev' on port '/dev/input/event6'.
Maybe your old settings are interfering? Try to comment out those settings (except maybe...
Kind-of curious if this would work, but unplug the mouse, run this, and plug it in within 3 seconds of running (used to do it for a joystick and U2F key):
su - root -c "sysctl 'hw.usb.usbhid.enable=0' && sleep '3' && sysctl 'hw.usb.usbhid.enable=1'"
I’ve been using a customized *.kbd keymap located in /usr/local/share/vt/keymaps/, dating back to March 9, 2024. Despite multiple minor updates within the 14.x branch and a major upgrade to version 15, the file has remained untouched. This...

I think it's worth mentioning vermaden's article that seems to have, at least to me, sparked a fresh interest in mdo on FreeBSD.

back in the day there was this quip going around saying that bsd users like unix, whereas linux users don't care about unix and just hate microsoft, because of ini files, the registry, and incomprehensible event viewers and service management...
Nah, in a hundred years there will be >1k additional new languages.
The purpose of each also will be to avoid C, because this didn't actually worked with any former language so far.
And each and every one will be way better than any other...
