Arch and derivatives have not become my Linux of choice when I need one. In my impression they don't replicate the FreeBSD update model, they just "do like ports" for the whole OS. They don't have any of the concepts of a separate base system...

Er, what's the simplicity of a car engine got to do with the complexity of a single chip in a computer?. The most complicated part of a car engine these days is the engine management unit (a few chips in a sealed unit), but that can't be repaired...

I remember how up-in-arms the social LLM users were with one ChatGPT upgrade, where the new model (just a point update from the desired one) was perceived as utterly cold and unsocial. OpenAI actually re-enabled the old one as a choice. I...

Arch/Gentoo/Void/Etc are simply wrapping around the Linux kernel, they are not real operating systems.

I was curious how to undo censoring on a LLM, but my local LLM won't tell me :)

Would a useless game be possible? It can't have a clear goal or some kind of victory. The graphics and music must be so abstract that it doesn't add anything. The gameplay must be absolute nihilist. Doing anything else like passive screen staring...

I don't. A reminder that technical discussions of other operating systems other than FreeBSD is not allowed. Including here in Off Topic.

Heretic I'd use Doomsday Engine (I used it for Hexen and Doom 1 on FreeBSD)

Dosbox or Qemu

I guess all the old ones you can just play in the browser. I just did this with Lemmings.

*laughs in OpenBSD*

I wanna share this talk by Marshall Kirk McKusick, it has a pretty good information that is relevant to the topic.

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.

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...

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...

KDE,

That's not quite true. There are IRQ sharing options in many modern BIOSes.

Yes.

Which one of them can compile itself from source like the BSD's? They all don't seem to like that. Afraid of a fork?

Well if you track "latest" in packages, the difference should be only a couple of days max (assuming that you build ports every day).

Neither is the network_interfaces, it gets those automatically too. The OP doesn't have those settings in his rc.conf though, so that can't be it.

Not what I think people will reply to that and my followups. In any case, use of an advanced local LLM is so slick that it is a 2-liner *assuming you start from working GPU drivers). Not much for the initial HOWTO post. I kindly ask to give...

You sure? The one I checked didn't have that routing error message anywhere. Do you have any jails running?

This sounds like a candidate for "Howtos and FAQs".

This seems certain to be true. Gotta keep the brain juices flowing, whether you like your chatbot or not.

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.

This nonsense wouldn't have existed if p2p filesharing networks weren't killed for the profit loss of media giants. I believe the OSS world has to seize control again like in limewire/dc++ times. If companies are legally permitted to download...

I found the article about connecting a normal phone to a FreeBSD server (via an ATA adapter and Asterisk) very interesting. I love projects like this!

do you have pf_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf? This ends up executing pfctl -e among other things. You can check pfctl -si to see if it is enabled.

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

Original article here. Consider this when replying. FreeBSD, The FreeBSD Foundation, and The FreeBSD Forums are not associated with the content of this article.

Yes.

Thank you for posting a summary and not just a link!

Original article here. Consider this when replying. Open source infrastructure depends on more than new features. It also depends on the steady, often unseen work of identifying risks, improving processes, and making systems easier to maintain...

Just tried that on a dual screen system: A window manager is already running on screen 0. So this needs a special xorg.conf with 2 screen sections?

What you say seems to contradict itself. Either way, llama.cpp with hardware acceleration through Vulkan works out of the box with the packge.

I'm not using IPFW myself, but what I gather from the FreeBSD handbook this service can use 2 types of logging: either through syslog or using ipfw0. So my guess is that your service uses its own logging.

Wrong direction... View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gWzt4x_FG4

I used Zaphod mode until recently. With fvwm2. Things can be confusing since there is only one window manager for both displays.

also there are lots of tools like this in ports / packages, net-mgmt/darkstat for example.

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...
