yarn config set strict-ssl false in fact resolved the certificate issue. There were a lot of other issues originating from the "migration". Sadly, I can't say exactly what solved my issues. But overall it had to do with permissions. I have been...

??? yarn config set strict-ssl false ? yarn config set cafile MYCERT.pem ?

You're not the first, and won't be the last, that accidentally pushed passwords or other credentials to a public git repository.

Cribbed from hackernews. Do read the comment thread on this commit, as well as on hackernews! I am glad I stayed away from vscode. Now to remove all my repos from github..... https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/310226...

I tried tabbed urxvt -embed like the man page recommends and it worked out quite nicely.

Does anyone know of a live currency exchange chart program or website where you can set a target exchange rate and be notified if/when that target is reached within a timeout period? Maybe it's possible to create something like that ones self.

No, I mean people replacing their own roofs or windows, installing their own central heating, or rewiring their own house. Some people are competent to do these things and the DIY shops used to produce helpful leaflets showing how it could be...

Are your switch ports configured for LACP?

Both 6 and 7 have the same dependency for the WMF option: WMF_CONFIGURE_WITH= wmf WMF_LIB_DEPENDS= libwmf.so:graphics/libwmf@${FLAVOR} Is your graphics/libwmf up to date?

My opinions only (and recognize I'm probably in the minority): Tabs, on a terminal window, are like tabs on a browser. A couple/few (no more than 4 for me) I get lost in "what's where". A terminal window that supports tabbing is useful for...

xterm is intended to remain quite spartan on interface features so doesn't have tabs. Two options that I can think of: Run tmux or screen inside the terminal for multiple shells. Take advantage of the flexibility of X11 and the xembed protocol...

Don't worry, it'll probably appear. And even if the user has researched, it may not be an obvious error. For example, they do some searching, read FreeBSD is similar to Linux--and it's so obvious to a FreeBSD user that they might not even think...

Trying to build that. It installs a bunch of new dependencies and misses file Xos.h which is part of xorgproto so I installed that too. Now the build result: tage/usr/local/share/doc/ImageMagick-7/www/Magick++...

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

You made it to level 3. Welcome to the show, buddy! You are now an official FreeBSD user. :cool:

Well, a few days ago I thought that it was end of my adventure with FreeBSD, but now I'm happy to report that I seem to have a stable installation of FreeBSD running on my computer again, I think that I understand why my desktop failed the other...

Think you're confusing DIY home improvement with moonlighters.

Which reminds me Ilovehotdog, do check the handbook's section on Wayland if you've not used it. https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/wayland/ You will have make sure you have seatd and that it's running.

The "default" was set to graphics/ImageMagick7 quite some time ago. That said, there are still a number of ports that depend on the 'old' 6 version.

smartctl (from sysutils/smartmontools) is a good indicator. But it may or may not work with external drives, some of these (cheap) controllers don't pass the SMART data.

You might want to run a check on the disk itself too. While unplugging without unmounting isn't the greatest, it generally doesn't cause this much problems, certainly not if happened only once. So there might be other reasons for the filesystem...

I only use 2 command line tools of it for scaling pictures. I forgot the names. Maybe I'll replace that once. tool names: convert and showimage I don't know how to build them separated. That would allow me to skip the entire Imagemagick build.

One bit of advice for old laptops is to buy a cheap 3rd party asian battery clone whilst they are cheap. No battery lasts decades but a 3rd party one has the circuitry bypass that you can replace the cells yourself. The DRM(?) on the official...

I remembered this good series of videos about the X200/201/220. She describes running linux, but the videos are equally valid for running freebsd. She takes you through a full description of the hardware and all the upgrade options that can be...

Build on a 15.0 world where xorg-server with dependencies is already built and installed: pace.Plo mv -f magick/.deps/libMagickCore_6_la-blob.Tpo magick/.deps/libMagickCore_6_la-blob.Plo mv -f magick/.deps/libMagickCore_6_la-compare.Tpo...

Agree! Or ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 AMD. Actually got this one myself a couple of weeks ago and I'm very happy with it so far. Prior to that, I had a ThinkPad X220 - excellent machine too. Both are not that expensive and do well with FreeBSD.

Thinkpad T14 AMD gen 1 (not T14s).

Did you run fsck before or after it was mounted?

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...

Wayland and "best" usually don't go together for me.

Some variants of the x220 have a single USB 3 port built in, IIRC.

I think it is asciidoctor the program itself that is missing. It is gmake complaining, not asciidoctor.

STABLE refers to the ABI. stable - firmly established; not changing or fluctuating; permanent. In other words the ABI is kept stable within that major version branch. This is the reason why it's generally not a problem to run a userland...

That's been in place for quite some time. Whenever Freshports got hammered, logged in accounts get priority over "anonymous" requests.

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 have one machine, running that combination. One nice thing about sway and fcitx5 is that I don't have to declare the variables, such as XMODIFIERS anywhere, using fcitx5 with anthy gives me Japanese input. Being very used to dwm (or dwl in...

The suckless community tend to be quite good with their manpages but I suspect this kind of minimalistic tooling hasn't attracted enough interest for a wide selection of guides. Generally it should be as simple as: $ tabbed -c xterm -into the...

It's a tool to manage jails.

Look further up in the logging, I don't think it's asciidoctor that's missing, it's the file it tries to parse that's missing.

Unfalsifiable claims make nothing true. There's nothing to be unsafe on a SBC because there's no channel to communicate with anything unseen because the ethernet interface is the only possible hardware for data-transmission to something else. And...

Rebuilding from source never works for me and is not a viable option.
