AlfredoLlaquet, I understand, I think, your point, but keep in mind that many people run FreeBSD servers that many people depend upon, and doing a reboot could literally inconvenience thousands of users. So, it's not just a first world problem in...

Thank Mythos for that.

Exactly. Right now the AI companies are under-pricing their products to gain market share by burning venture money. Eventually some small number winners will emerge and prices will begin to rise to match costs. I have no idea how much they will...

In the short term, the firms selling AI services can set the prices, but the economic costs of compute are something they do not control. (In fact they'd prefer those costs to come down, even as their demand for hardware and energy is pushing...

I don't see why not. I'm a Pisces, and I don't enjoy walking on the beach.

Not to start a fight, as I like both AlfredoLlaquet and drhowarddrfine, but while it is a first world problem, though not as bad as the ultimate one (my oreo cookie is too big to dunk in my glass of milk), it's a small thing that can be helpful...

Back in the Usenet days there were posted rules and article about postings and having good, descriptive titles. Now I see this in all social media but notice it here more often lately. A thread is started with a title such as "Computers" or "Is...

You expected everyone to read your mind, and was told that context was lacking. Due to lack of retrospection, therefore, you respond like so. This is how you respond to someone who asked you politely, then responded again politely: AI can...

Learning from experience. That's how most of us became adept at FreeBSD and most things in life.

Symptom of bad quality software. Whoever wrote the software (that requires special terminals) didn't think about requirements, usability, integration. They wanted to quickly solve their own problem (installing software on a Mac, using an AI to...

Today's patches seem to be an amend to the April 29 dhclient patch. Maybe that one was rushed.

Yes, today I'm upgrading my server and workstations (VirtualBox), system and ports and today there are 2 more updates, also graphics/drm-66-kmod give me error, looking at freebsd bugs there is one about it reported today. I do not care a lot, I...

I just about had it with your constant barrage of useless, meaningless replies everywhere. Why are you doing it?

I've just bought it. It's normally batteries and chargers that go first on most laptops I've had. I think the first thing I'll do is invest in a spare. Thanks for the recommendation. 👍 I've installed BSDs on a few machines over the years with...

I mean I see why this is happening, the authors of the programs don't care about Unix, only a small piece of it. Both MS and Apple and, since recent times, Red Hat and Canonical only want first-tier access to FOSS devtools. The reason why OSX...

Worked, thanks a lot!

Hmm, no portsfallout yet. any chance your ftp/curl has the option ZSTD turned off?

I forgot that Python's pip also falls into the category.

If you plan it right (end of financial year), you can get some really cheap ex-business surplus Lenovo/HP/Dell laptops. Following on from cracauer@ 's recommendation, I agree, my regular goto has one going very cheap (£168). (If you can get...

Earlier in this thread (post #10) I said I have never had a hardware failure. I shouldn't have said anything. There is now a slight rumbling coming from a fan in my box. It's either the fan facing the floor on the bottom or the fan in the power...

Interesting but it should be noted that the costs are completely arbitrary and are not dictated by any kind of technical limitation. Next week they could be completely different. Higher or lower. In a gold rush, the costs are dictated by the guy...

I designed a medical computer in 1992. Before that, to upgrade any hardware, they had to throw away all the electronics inside the machine for any upgrade. My design had small, pluggable cards that allowed upgrading of everything by just swapping...

Yeah...poor terminal handling discipline...brought to you by the same neophytes who think it is acceptable to embed color codes in CLI programs.

It would have more sense to virtualize Windows, than stacking another layer adding Linux too. Indeed. Just use Wine on FreeBSD like you did on Linux, it's a cleaner and better solution (especially performance wise).

Why not wine? It's on ports. And it's better integrated with the graphics stack of FreeBSD for windows programs. By default the linux compatibility layer (rocky linux 9) will only support OpenGL (with patches/hack vulkan works, cuda maybe)...

Is X forwarding an option?

If you are not comfortable building the kernel and base packages from source, build drm-kmod from ports in a out-of-date you are using for mfsBSD BASE downloaded base.txz jail. Or, if you want a up-to-date system, use STABLE (now...

Machine Learning (ML) is a type of AI for how a computer organizes data, often for a next step in AI to process this data. It is described as how a computer predicts how data is to be organized. Data is retrieved through sensors, like cameras...

Maturin, please re-read my post, I thought I explained what I wanted to achieve, ie the use of labels in fstab in a MBR based system and how to set them. It looks like I can't do this using gpart BICBW.

After adopting GPT as my partitioning scheme years ago have forgotten about BSD slices but am trying to change an fstab entry from /dev/ada1s3a to something which uses a label. gpart modify -i 3 -l freebsd-main ada0 does not work. What should...

I really wanted to make this article short … but I failed miserably. At least I tried to organize it well so one may get back to it after ‘some’ reading because its not a short lecture. I wanted to title it Why FreeBSD? but when you type that...

WHat's the meaning of this post?

Anthropic's Mythos Preview writeup from 7 April was pretty upfront in several places about the cost of finding their exploits, at least in terms of API pricing (the true cost may be higher, of course - but also bear in mind the long-term trend of...
