You could also reconsider using a custom kernel and simply use GENERIC. I've always used a custom kernel but I had been using -STABLE, so had to build everything anyway. When I got a lot more systems I used a -RELEASE version and the GENERIC...

In that case it's probably a profile gone bad (e.g. corrupt cookies database). Rename your profile directory and try again.

freebsd-update won't overwrite the active kernel. The active kerne, if it is named kernel, will be renamed in kernel.old: /usr/sbin/freebsd-update 620 config_BackupKernelDir /boot/kernel.old You can rename your renamed custom kernel...

Hi gang! Editorial Fun fact: I've been using FreeBSD for quite a while now and to be perfectly honest with you lot I'm (still) quite passionate about the whole thing. Always have, always will be. At the time of writing my backup VPS server is...

It's probably a good idea to post the actual error. "Cannot reach" and "unable to ping" aren't very informative. Are you getting an error resolving the domain name? Or are you getting a time-out pinging the IP address? The end result is the same...

I have Ventoy installed on around four disks and am a big fan of it but had problems trying to install Windows from an ISO using Ventoy.

It took ages for me to find a version of Rufus which was actually usable. https://rufus.ie/downloads/ I think it was Rufus 3.20 which actually worked. And getting Windows XP to install was a time consuming task to say the least. I'd...

Your production server probably has a login.conf class defined for the postgres user and it doesn't exist on the new server. It's not something that's defined or configured when installing PostgreSQL and has been added afterwards.

I can see already by the picture that this is "one of these monster snakes eating monster trucks" YT videos I don't even bother to click on, especially not wasting my time on watching such. But by what others wrote - and I agree with it's...

Which says something about the quality and information density in "the internet".

Am I correct in thinking that pkg install drm-kmod installs around 800 files? All I want is i915.kms.

You can't live without the Internet these days unless you are in some isolated jungle in the Amazon. If you work, are retired or sick, or want to buy a ticket for travel of for some performance your details will be entered into a database. How...

People say, that loading modules loader.conf sometime important, little chance that it can help.

Ok I guess I could try that, every tip is welcome, as I still have no clue what's causing these issues with large tables 😟

Why is everyone so unaware about how the howto/faq section works? Every reply has always been moderated for at least the last 7 years. During certain hours, and certain parts of the weekend, nothing posted is shown. It's from evening to after...

At least, we have some idea about what it takes. It may be different for different topics, as I expect that it's not a given for every topic, and any topic may have a higher bar. Enough threads and anything reasonable may be considered. Within...

Why not? Apparently the bosses don't like to have empty (or almost empty) boards here, so at creation time there should alredy be a good couple of threads that can be immediately moved to the new board. (I might have a different viewpoint, but...

Use zfs-set(8) to set properties for ZFS datasets and zvols. The zfs-set(8) and zfsprops(7) manpages will describe the details. Of particular interest to you is the volblocksize argument. It is not retroactive. You cannot change a zvol's...

No idea what it is. Move 2 random objects made of cubes through a space. That's 2 3d arrays. At the moment 1 cell of both is the same (x,y,z) position, we have a collision. Then you need the 2 vectors before the collision to calculate some kind...

What's his point exactly? I don't understand the 1 person thing, Consumer computers are a scam, yeah. They shouldn't be monolithic disposables but a scalable amount of processing units that provide a predictable performance and are individually...

Posting a video without comment should be a stoneable offense. Especially if it has shocked youtuber face in the opening screen.

Did something change between 15.0-RELEASE and now? My laptop server seeming needs console="nullconsole" to boot with lid shut now or else boot loader doesn't load (when lid-opened after POST it sits at flashing cursor and flickers screen) I...

They removed the dupe glitch https://github.com/diasurgical/DevilutionX/issues/919 Reason I looked into it was because my mom was used to playing with that glitch and wondered why it didn't work :p

Sometimes playing retrogames is exactly what your soul needs. I played in the last few weeks: emulators/wine: Anno 1602 A.D. Warcraft 2 emulators/dosbox-staging: Lands Of Lore - The Throne of Chaos The Settlers 2 I'm currently doing a...

It's quite impressive. You download 30 GB and get kinda the Internet.

That seems interesting; I thought PSP was only on CPUs but why would AMDGPU use it? Do you have an AMD CPU? I'd try different drm-kmod versions (61, latest, etc)

PMc, you seem a bit of a cynic. And I find myself agreeing with almost every post you make. It's sad what the world has become.

So what? Instead of helping, he is spreading paranoia and making money from it.

T-Aoki and Charlie_ I just tried doing a build with the suggested changes in the patch, and after a few mistakes, where it still asked me what file to patch, (not sure what I did wrong, I just removed it all and started over), it worked as you...

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...

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.

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...

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.
