Point is, (many; majority?) today's people are lazy and spoilt, because they are used to just pick everything from silver platters they are offered to them by no request. They cannot even differ what comes from consumer industry for to sell...

RTFM doesn't have the meaning it once had. FreeBSD is about the only system left that has actual hard-hitting documentation that you can reliably find in a matching version.

Just be honest. You're dancing to avoid confrontation with logic. "Everything is leaking" isn't reality. The inability to prove that something is secure doesn't make it insecure. That's the unfalsifiable claim.

Anything related in `dmesg` when the chflags call is being rejected?

Forums have become, generally, nicer places, and just saying to someone RTFM can often be considered rude. Like everything else, it depends upon context. For example, if I wrote a fairly dumb question, and one of the people here with whom I have...

Ouch. Curious to see which commit to 14-stable caused this.

Even if most of the problems were self-inflicted, I want to say thank you for all the help and all the ideas. ❤️

Wow, I enjoyed reading about the first Unix Port.

Reboot into single user mode if you can't identify the mountpoint using processes by hand.

Used net/intel-em-kmod perhaps?

What is the mountpoint?

Yeah, I know it was the wrong terminology witch I apologize for. I guess the more correct expression would have been ZFS on root

I'm very much a novice when it comes to zfs, but try out things from tiime to tiime and often get stuck. My latest blunder was to create a pool which had an existing mountpoint. I can't delete (destroy) it because the mountpoint is busy. How...

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...

Open a PR. This should also work on 14.2.

No problems here on 16-CURRENT. bob# dd if=/dev/zero of=test.blob bs=100M count=20 20+0 records in 20+0 records out 2097152000 bytes transferred in 39.549883 secs (53025491 bytes/sec) bob#

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...

??? 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.

Original article here. Consider this when replying. FreeBSD, The FreeBSD Foundation, and The FreeBSD Forums are not associated with the content of this article.

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

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...
