I wonder if a child with the ability to install an alternate OS would need protection from the stuff the bill covers? Would they have the free time to get sucked-into social media, or be too busy fine-tuning their alternate OS after learning how...

It is very common (at least here in Norway) for software developers that contribute to open source projects in their spare time to have an agreement about that - any work done outside of work and unrelated to work (in other words: not a competing...

There is no output on green, line out connector on the mainboard. Completely mute. pcm4: <Realtek ALC1150 (Rear Analog 5.1/2.0)> (play/rec) default pcm5: <Realtek ALC1150 (Front Analog)> (play/rec) pcm6: <Realtek ALC1150 (Rear Digital)> (play)...

If you want to try repairing it... remember these things are mostly SMD construction, so various degrees of difficulty repairing them, depending on what happens to be wrong. Personally I wouldn't bother, just get another one. View...

I wouldn't know how to fix a ZFS system.

T-Aoki Just came across this actually. A strange coincidence. If they can resolve your hidpi concerns, then we are back on track ;)

Update: devel/rubygem-multi_json has been updated to 1.20.1. This fixes the annoying bug. Note that quarterly still has 1.19.1 though.

What about comparisons to websites about alcoholic drinks? They're required for the user to enter their birthdate to enter those sites. That's all that's required. Also, when you keep children off of computers, lots of us have been using DOS...

That might be just a little bit beyond my skill level land experience. However, for the time being I was able to connect an external Seagate hard drive while it was running Ghost, and I was able to get my stuff copied over that way. I still...

A figment of your imagination 😁

Another interesting fact about /rescue, everything is one executable. Almost all files are hardlinks to one and the same file. Just have a look with ls -li /rescue, the first number is the inode, almost every file is linked to the same inode, in...

I always have a few FreeBSD installations on my Ventoy disks, as well a as a bootable Iso. Being able to boot mfsBSD via PXE is also handy.

I always wondered what that directory was for but never asked because I thought I ought to know.

Absolutely, /rescue can be a lifesaver. Rarely needed it, but I'm always happy to know it's there, just in case.

Might be easier to NFS mount it? It's what I did for many years, NFS mounted /usr/src and /usr/obj, built world on a "big" machine and installed it on a "small" machine. You must make sure the time is correct on both machines though, or you'll...

In future I will run freebsd-version -ukr to check that how far the update has got. It's all part of a learning experience. At least I found out something useful about /rescue.

Just to get you onboard with the correct nomenclature, zroot is the name of the pool, the filesystem is ZFS. Either way, the filesystem is irrelevant. Alright, that's the part that downloads a bunch of stuff from the NodeJS repositories. Maybe...

Yep, I understand that.

But not ALL Nvidia. It seems it was one particular card or driver and only on 15-RELEASE at the earliest but, NOTE, I haven't followed the story.

Looks like you got hit with this issue: https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-EN-25:18.freebsd-update.asc You need at least 13.5-RELEASE-p5, 14.2-RELEASE-p7 or 14.3-RELEASE-p4 before you can make the jump to 15.0-RELEASE.

It depends. At least in the Netherlands. If you were tasked with writing the code, then it doesn't matter if you wrote that code in your spare time or not, it's still owned by the company.

Thanks. Will try it.

New release - v2.1 — 2026-04-29 - Simulation mode active (dry-run): no changes applied, only logged. Try FBSD-Net-Autotuner

Ok, ready for dry-run testing.

If you have an alternative computer for emergency internet as I proposed before, perhaps an old laptop, and also have a crossover cable, you can boot the main computer with PXE for saving data, you can also boot FreeBSD from a Linux computer as...

I never use .0 versions on anything I care about losing.

All additional software comes from packages but built from source. The idea of my build system is to be able to quickly try out and change things on all levels without the need to recompi;e things that are already good. After a completed run, the...

If the voltage fits exactly, rated power or current is >=, and the plug matches, which could be replaced with the one of the defective PSU (watch out to have correct polarity!), then yes. Except: I guess it's something to avoid you're using...

Shouldn't be any difference, except you don't have to copy everything and can use it immediately. So it should save a bit of time. Alternatively, you might want to have a look at building your own pkgbase packages. Same for building packages...

I have a set of scripts that create a graphical system from only source data in a chroot tree. An entire run from scratch takes +/- 6 hours on my fast box. It currently completes without problems on different computers. The only thing about it is...

The games/minecraft-server port includes a proper rc script, take that as an example. Modify it a bit so it starts your minecraft server including the mods. That'll get you something you can use to automatically start the game server, and be able...

Even if it's linked in the kernel statically, it's still going to be built as a module.

The issue seems to be fixed by glebius.

After some searching I'm told that I need something which has 'Lenovo barrel plug + ID pin handshake'. What on earth is ID pin handshake?

The PSU for my ThinkPad W520 suddenly stopped working yesterday and am wondering what to do about it. Are they repairable or do I need to find a replacement? It's a really big heavy PSU, a genuine Lenovo 170W 20V. Every other PSU I have is about...

Oh nice, I didn't know that was available.

I wish I had read that yesterday so that I could have tried the suggested solution just to see if it worked for me. I remember the problem referring to libc.so.7 but don't recall if it mentioned ld-elf,so.1. I could not find any command that...

Perhaps for GUI or TUI application to dynamically control the wpa_supplicant daemon for scan/add/update/delete password protected wifi AP. wpa_supplicant is the daemon handling the encryption/decryption parts of the password protected wifi AP...

wpi_cli allows you to dynamically connect to the wpa_supplicant socket and control it dynamically. I.e so you don't need to terminate and restart the wpa_supplicant daemon if you want to change to a different access point. It also can modify and...

Ok, OP only performs dry-run. For what I experience, it definitely would print some messages informing packages are not being upgraded due to lock when run with the actual pkg-upgrade command. Let me verify the dry run command on my setup once...

The OP says the locking does not work for him in this post, and shows what output he gets: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/i-think-that-i-have-met-my-match.102526/page-2#post-757746
