I genuinely wonder if anyone uses x11-wm/dwm without any configuration. I think that this might be the most useless port in all of FreeBSD, as it is most likely never ran without manual patches anyway.

I recently migrated from Slackware to FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE and ported my full suckless desktop environment. Sharing the process and the gotchas for anyone wanting to run dwm + st + dwmblocks on FreeBSD. My dotfiles are at...

Reminds me of this joke: A town council decided not to build a new station because, as the mayor put it: "It doesn't make sense. Every time a train passes through here, I look out the window, and there’s absolutely no one waiting to get on!"

I'm not going to create an empty forum and wait for it to fill. Period. When I added "Emulation and Virtualization" it was because "General - base" was swamped with threads about jails, virtualbox and bhyve. I created it because those threads...

T-Aoki, I got the patch from suckless, they call it dwm-moveresize-<date>-diff. I rename it to patch-move-resize. The patch patches 2 files, config.def.h and dwm.c. The patch is from suckless not from FreeBSD which already has a few patches in...

Just search archive.org for some "id software". Now there goes my weekend...

I'm not intimately familiar with the details, but I suspect syslogd.casper alludes to libcasper (capability framework), while system.net is probably the part that handles sending/receiving syslog messages over the network.

pkg-which exists. Might work for some ports, but not all ports actually have a pkg-plist file, some ports (partially or entirely) generate it dynamically.

But that isn't something which Portmaster decides on its own, things like this happen because such environments are part of the build dependencies for some ports. Something which you can check for by running make build-depends-list. This is also...

This is what I ended up doing, to almost get it working, if someone having similar problems. Still getting an error about an anchor during boot, and sometimes about memory allocation. /etc/rc.conf pf_enable="YES"...

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!

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...

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.

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.
