/etc/passwd; PUBLIC /etc/master.passwd; VERY PRIVATE Both in the same /etc/ directory.

Just an update, spent some time on it this weekend. Got it to build without errors, but I'm having some weird pkg-plist issues. Not sure where these are coming from, the plist is pretty much the same as for the previous versions.

I know the Cisco router problem but it used the existing administration channel and a installed embedded OS. Those were entire computers including software.. Spyware needs a channel to the spy himself to make it useful. And with that, any...

Could I expect to get this working out of the box by installing the Beta 1 build snapshot of the 15.1 Release which was released 1.5?

"Best" is relative, and more of a personal choice. What works best for me might be utterly useless for you. Why don't you try it and figure out if it works for you, or not?

I used LXTerminal, part of LXDE, for quite a while because of tabs. I could never get the hang of Xterm. Then I discovered, very late unfortunately, the existence of tmux. Now I'm very pleased with this combination of Xterm and tmux.

Contradictory statement. ZFS doesn't create a lost+found and neither can you run fsck on it. It's the external disk that's using UFS? Why do you think it matters which filesystem the host itself uses? And? What does that have to do with an...

I had a look at tabbed and it wasn't immediately obvious what it provided. Is there a guide to what it gives you?

I recommend the "old" Thinkpad. they work very well with FreeBSD.

I have an idea - xenoforo has ways to embed media into postings, and this might be the place where media is embedded into pages. Maybe you have blocked some media sites in your firewall? That would explain that the call fails - but this is a shot...

Bit like on a game company's forum.

Not at all. I just want people to have descriptive titles. That I don't want the uncleaned masses using FreeBSD is a different story.

Tabbed has a port. I just tried it, and I think it looks a lot better than the native urxvt support for tabs. Try urxvt -pe tabbed if you want to try the latter.

I think some of it is driven from the survey e.g. https://freebsdfoundation.org/insights-from-the-2025-freebsd-community-survey/ Who does know what is important? As in what group knows? Personally I do not use Wifi or desktops or NVidia with...

It seems unlikely. That's only the most low-level things. Now trying a clean build to repeat the exact same problem. I also needed xorgproto as run-dependency for it. How strange is that?

The Gershwin Desktop environment featuring the first iteration of the native window manager was presented today during the GNUstep monthly meeting. This was a huge milestone for us today with a wealth of information about the design and...

fernandel, I guess you're older than I thought. :) Forums and mailing lists used to be, generally speaking, a lot harsher on newcomers. I think that drhowarddrfine, and myself disagree on it being a good thing that things are easier today. My...

I don't think so.

The make install needs a /lib file but it's not a dependency, apparently. Maybe I have to check the exact versions of all deps manually.

/lib is the wrong location for a ports/packages file.

cd /usr/ports/graphics/Imagemagick6 make make install /lib/ImageMagick-6.9.13/modules-Q16/coders/wmf.so:No such file or directory *** Error code 1 This happens inside a chroot dir that builds +500 ports. I have no idea what I'm missing. The...

For users of the Fluxbox window manager, this isn't a problem, since it allows you to create tabs even for different programs. :)

This change just got committed so it should be live soon: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/commit/e1f0ac50e8abf2fb87326218a4ed435150144c8d

You sure about that? Maybe some new kid in town wants to make a name for himself and there is a new square wheel, more square than the previous ones, next year or next month. I, personally, don't trust them. YMMV.

I've opi5max, it does well what I bought it for - tier1 storage for my home lab (Linux though). Without Joshua's extensive work it would have been powerful, yet useless piece of HW. I'm afraid this is also true for this new HW. Their forums is...

Is there such a thing as a front end for graphics/p5-Image-ExifTool? The man page looks pretty extensive but I'm only interested in a few of the options which a front end might easily provide for me.

Without antenna and transmitter, only on very short range. That's no real tap. And what's in the RF signal? You can't put a lot in it without needing a analog-digital-analog conversion without the owner noticing anything. A 2 amp PSU isn't going...

Vmware is indeed a nice product.

Does a proof of concept exist? There's no transmitter. I also nave never heard of 2 SBC's communicating via flux field signals of components or something like that. That's real paranoid. :cool:

They chose an odd name that matches a legendary Android phone :p (OnePlus 6/OP6; RPi can do that but OrangePi 6 needs the whole shebang)

It doesn't have ME or PSP so that cuts out much of the US spyware at least.

Sorry, I should've written "fixed it" instead of fixed it. Of course not. This is to deal with negative publicity.

Looks like they partially fixed this. See here and here. Until the next time.

A comment from the commit thread: "I am not using copilot, I have "chat.disableAIFeatures" and co-authored by copilot still gets inserted into commits."

I guess I can just repeat what has been true for the last ~25 years: "f*ck microsoft, don't use their crap"?

You never will. The point is not to seek for enough knowledge. That's impossible. The point is how to deal with missing knowledge.

Supposedly, scaling them up led to a huge increase in their usefulness. That improvement seems to have plateaued at GPT-5, and the gains now are incremental. But consider I got all of the above from a Youtube video by an infamous AI skeptic. I'm...

nope, sorry... this is physical hardware... but will report if it happens again

You mean the circle of life versus do-gooders ?? How long do we give Timmy before we declare the thread SOLVED ?

This is a lot more complicated than clickbait media wants you to believe. Maybe it works, maybe not. Only one way to find out.

No offence was intendet. What I could imagine, this was meant as a poison pill for changes in licences, for the fear of licences including a "No AI training" clause. When you want to re-licence something under that, you need to get the OK from...

After a few reboots it stopped happening. I am confused. Didnt touch the server, it just stopped, will se with next cycle iteration. Anyway, ifconfig said interface doesnt exist, kernel module was still loaded, nothing special in dmesg except...

Basically you are looking for interface UP/DOWN messages or maybe something DHCP related. You can check the interfaces interrupts easily: vmstat -i Personally my first check would be PCI-E devices. Make sure it is "em" interface and nothing...
