While I don't understand the problem in detail, I think you should go source-based for everything because of specific needs that aren't covered by a default installation of binary programs and drivers. Is it a good idea to rely o pkg and the...

Yesterday's dhclient security change turned out to have bugs, corrected today. I don't think today's fixes should require a reboot. And they are not security fixes.

As seen in the PRs, I've proposed temporal fixes (but as I wasn't enough sure, not as attachments but described inside my posts). But the devs seems to be working on upgrading upstream and update ports once it finishes, rather than introducing...

See my comment in that PR. git -C /usr/port checkout to the commit previous to d94082fc7 to build drm-6{1,6}-kmod.

Usually, fixes are first tested on main (aka -CURRENT) branch at least in 3 days, then, MFC'ed (Merge From Current) into affected stable branches. If the codebase affected are already NOT in sync, this is needed to port and confirmed the fixes...

With duplicates. 😭 When I filed 294870, there were no others yet. Encountered when I was proceeding the last-minutes rebasing for patch to upgrade NVIDIA driver ports to 595.71.05 before filing PR / opening review for it, thus, pending until...

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...

GTK Ptyxis and iirc kgx do it with GNOME GSK_RENDERER=vulkan default

Xterm could still be improved a lot. How about spreadsheet mode? Output screen with infinite dimensions. Make all compiler commands appear on 1 line and move the viewport around fast. Stepless scaling and vector fonts would be nice too. That...

Thanks. Sakura seems to at least not choke on homebrew and is proper x11.

Dunno. All I know is that they are inserted back as commands into the shell. Similar effect to cat(1)ing a binary file in xterm.

I don't see themm doing anything 3D. They just use those APIs. Maybe to be portable?

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...

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...

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).
