I'm not fighting anyone. I'm just trying to point out the huge difference in complexity between a motherboard or SSD and a car engine to someone who seems to think them comparable. Your observations are quite correct. Electronics these days has...

kjpetrie and rcbsdpge, I never repaired a car engine. Maximum my bike :-) I propose this hopefully "balanced" position: a car engine is so costly, that it makes sense to repair, while a motherboard not so much; a car engine has many parts that...

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...

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...

Interesting. Are they going to change sudo to call into something like systemd and get that to execute the command under a priviliged context? Seems kinda messy. Edit: Yes it seems. runorun0 from systemd.

Wait, in the HowTo section of this forum not only new threads are moderated, but replies to such threads, too? That isn't very useful then to estimate demand for AI discussions.

You cannot have more than one Linux for the Linuxulator at a time. However, you can have as many Linux chroots as you want.

Here is how to run the uncensored model that loveydovey was talking about in https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/completely-uncensored-qwen3-6-released-for-freebsd.102399/ This time with a direct download, not using llama's internal cache. You...

I'd rather it be off-topic if AI has to bully its way for a dedicated forum spot. Afaik Bun support was holding up Claude, and I requested Bun support plenty of times prior to Claude; I'd rather AI intermingle before isolating itself (AI's...

Two more FreeBSD security fixes out of Anthropic Claude. The two kernel security patches released today (both privilege escalation) have been marked as Credits: Nicholas Carlini using Claude, Anthropic I am unsure whether that...

After upgrading my 15.0-RELEASE to 15.0-RELEASE-p6, plasma is nimble from the start 👍

I bound mixer to Volume keys: xfconf-query --channel 'xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts' --property '/commands/custom/AudioRaiseVolume' --type 'string' --set "'/usr/sbin/mixer' 'vol'='+5%'" --create xfconf-query --channel 'xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts'...

Never mind. Apparently, it seemed to be related to my having another "FreeBSD.conf" file in the /usr/local/etc/repo/ directory.

For freebsd-update, if source (and kernel source) is installed, it will be updated.

If you run a standard FreeBSD Xfce4 install, you want to install xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin. Then it just as simple as right-clicking on your panel of choice, do "Panel". "Add New Item" and the choose the PulseAudio plugin.

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...

I am using 15.0-RELEASE-p5. Just recently my usual pkg upgrade on a daily basis got interminably longer. Specifically, when it's update ports from the repository, it sits there for a couple of minutes. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Here...

Of course I know about compression - Hooke's law and all that. If you think a computer is comparable with a car you really haven't grasped it. In the 90s the most complicated technology in the car was the CD player - far more complicated than the...

Why would we need group passwords? Just make a group for whatever the need is and change the permissions so only the owner and group can do whatever, with no permissions for other. So many of these things seem to have been created because people...

Cthulhux, I'd argue that for some, even if not me, it has useful defaults. So, I wouldn't call it useless. That is, of course, a matter of taste.

Thanks, I'll give that a try, probably tonight and report back.

Note that patch phase on building ports asumes -p0. So prepended a/ and b/ harm.

Well, I recommend editing the moveresize patch and place it in files/ directory. What need to be fixed would be: Remove diff --git a/config.def.h b/config.def.h index 1c0b587..ff863c9 100644 and diff --git a/dwm.c b/dwm.c index 4465af1..89483c1...

Being asked for filenames is unrelated to modifying two files. Because it's impossible to identify the files to which the patch should be applied. Please remove a/ and b/. /usr/ports/x11-wm/dwm/files$ diff -u dwm-moveresize-20221210-7ac106c.diff...

I think the xfce meta-port doesn't install a volume control app, you can manually install audio/xfce4-mixer or audio/volumeicon and add it to Settings -> Session and Startup -> Application Autostart

"ssh passwords" is expressing that you use ssh with the regular login password. I can't imagine this being useful for orchestration (typing the password every time you hit a given machine) when ssh agent login is around (typing the passphrase...

Is there pf_load="YES" in loader.conf?

No, that file only contains the following: /boot/loader.conf kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable="0" kern.geom.label.gptid.enable="0" zfs_load="YES"

Yes. It's complicated. In some years, I can invite my kids to a DM in good old Q2Lithium and wipe the floor with them. Having them talking about this in school is not what you may want to happen as long as they got their first set of teeth. So I...
