Never tried 2 Xorg servers 1 computer but with a root window overlapping 2 displays, I comfigured openbox to start different programs always on the same monitor depending on the executable name. It also supports keyboard shortcuts to move...

bakul, Emrion, guys, thank you so much for such valuable information! That's really interesting, I never even thought that just using a pointer can make a considerable difference.

When in doubt about something then don't forget about the -o option for ls: ls -lo: peter@zefiris:/var $ ls -lod e* dr-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel schg 2 Nov 29 2024 empty/ See?

How do you produce that graph?

I plan to post how to run GPU-accelerated local LLMs on FreeBSD right now, which models to use for coding, how different hardware trades off. How huggingface works, how llama.cpp moved the caches around. Moving into post-training (on FreeBSD) soon.

Once, I stumble on this question: why a pointer of pointer and not a pointer for the next element? I talk about double chained lists. I read that to write the base functions of such a list needs less code and will be faster. So, I coded myself...

The best way to understand this is by drawing a picture of such a queue. The head has two ptrs, one to head and one to the next field of the last entry. Each entry has a next pointer *after* 3 integer fields, for example. Now draw pointer...

That can stay in offtopic. The forums are here to help people installing and configuring various components on FreeBSD. We're not a generic discussion platform. That's not how it works.

That's not possible. Regardless of whether the pool is manually or automatically imported, the zpool-import log is recorded in any case in the pool history. There is no option to exclude it.

I'm honestly looking for posts that would fit, it's rather pointless to create a new forum if there's no content in it. Most of the AI posts have been rather generic. Not that much relating to configuration or setting it up on FreeBSD. Even...

Or a firewall that's blocking it, or the packets aren't NAT'ed and thrown onto the internet with an RFC1918 source address (so you will never receive the responses). In any case, the local network works (you can ping the gateway and other hosts...

Dodgy internet connection? And a service that tries to call home, but ends up with a couple of retransmissions due to the bad connection? Not everything is within your control.

I had two brothers. Both passed away suddenly (a few years apart), but fortunately. my nieces and nephews knew their passwords. I have a death document for my wife, and a script so she can reboot into xfce and click to get to necessary...

I guess I start to sort of understand it, but it still is not very clear to me, where the optimization is... Could you please elaborate a bit? Yeah, I already did that, that's why I actually ended up having this question - this is how I saw that...

stqh_last points to the next *field* of the last entry. This is a slight optimization. The macros are hard to read but you can define a sample tail queue and operations on them using these macros, then look at the output of cc -E to make sense of...

It's PCI/PCIe, the days of messing with IRQs, DMA and I/O addresses are long gone.

When in doubt about something then don't forget about the -o option for ls: ls -lo: peter@zefiris:/var $ ls -lod e* dr-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel schg 2 Nov 29 2024 empty/ See?

I'm exploring queue framework - both its public API and internal implementation in sys/queue.h and I'm a little bit confused about one thing in structure that is used for {S}TAILQ head: #define STAILQ_HEAD(name, type)...

Might make cool wallpapers, too. https://www.nasa.gov/gallery/artemis/

https://www.nasa.gov/gallery/artemis/ I know I posted this elsewhere cause I forgot about this thread.

As a hobbyist some years ago now I built 3 telecaster clones with great inspiration from TDRPI. Did all woodwork including neck and also winded the pickups. My amps these days are all software. Trying to migrate from Mixcraft with Guitar Rig...

`dmesg` might have more details when this error occurs. As for the BIOS, as I said before: mess with all options that have "irq" in the name.

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. https://www.asus.com/supportonly/m5a97/helpdesk_manual/ But, you're probably...

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...

Anything in /etc/dhclient.conf? Perhaps it's trying to set additional routes (that aren't needed because it's an implied route).

I suggest enabling verbose booting, that might give some clues where and when this error happens.

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...

You didn't mess with /etc/defaults/rc.conf? Or at least I hope you didn't.

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...

It is likely a reverse proxy. Not the actual web server the application runs on.

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/ (Over here we tend to call a 'trail' a...

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'd rather have a search engine that worked and forums not blocked by cloudfare than any of the AI tools.

Any tips on how to do this?

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...
