Iask.ai? Still, if it comes up with a +100 lines story, it has no answer and wants to distract from that. There should be a decentral p2p-style AI network... I don't believe it really needs a central database and a stack of GPU's to function.

Ok, after a reboot it started to happen again, the em0 got dhcp address but after a while disappeared. Absolutely nothing in the logs, pciconf showed it. I went into reconfiguration of bridge, moved ip off the interface to bridge, was still...

Welcome to the dark side...Python: the language I hate to love. LOL Virtually everything I do anymore is rapid-app-prototyped in python, then converted to c++ if need be, but usually the python app works well enough as-is...and python has...

I stumbled upon this topic while watching Distrowatch. I was surprised to see how highly ranked and stable FreeBSD is over time. I couldn't resist making a graph :-D

I think I'm misunderstanding your question, since the simple answer is yes, any install I do is CLI and after that, on many of them, I'll then install a window manager, browser, and other GUI stuff. So, I suspect you're asking something more...

So how many dabble with Linux? To person A, average might be can be comfortable with Windows or Mac, to person B, might be someone who can use Ubuntu, to person C it might mean someone who can use Arch--Arch is considered one of the main...

Geek does not imply coding skills. You could be a comic book geek for example. Its taught in college IT classes these days, so it is becoming quite mainstream for those likely to dabble with Linux / etc. So you are pretty much a hobbyist /...

My main tiling window manager is dwm, but through some convoluted thinking, I recently began playing with i3. Editing its config so that it more resembled dwm helped a lot but I am finding that when I hit the resize key combination, (I changed it...

New release - v2.2 — 2026-05-09 - Dynamic PF optimization mode: automatically switches between conservative, normal, and aggressive. - Dynamic PF scrub rules: according to network conditions. - Initial backup check for pf.conf: creates a single...

I don't think anything. I was just reminding you that you are talking to regular users here. Probably you are just venting. It's okay. Also: https://freebsdfoundation.org/project/graphical-installer-for-freebsd/

A hobbyist.

You're out of touch with reality. "Average Users" don't even know what a shell is.

Sorry, my mistake. I didn't consider "sharenfs" was used on the dataset when replying. If ZFS dataset property "sharenfs" is set, no mount point exports over /etc/exports for any NFS version is necessary. Set only the "V4:" line for NFSv4...

Maybe you mean D56670 and D56888? For main (aka 16-CURRENT), DRM 6.12 is introduced at commit base 1569e2334ab5b2ee1e2b7893cb05c17a27d3eca8 (DRM 6.12.84) and __FreeBSD_version (same as OSVERSION in ports) was bumped to 1600018. For stable/15...

if you can ping the public ip 96.47.72.71, means your dns resolv is not working on 192.168.1.11 try and edit the /etc/resolve.conf nameserver record pointing to 8.8.8.8 see if it works to finalize your installation. Usually DNS records come...

I really struggling to understand all this. I used /etc/exports :- V4: /var/db/backup / -mapall="root" as a means of identifying a V4 and V3 export list/ the / -mapall="root" is for V3 and works just as I want. ie I can mount the root of...

I use PCLinuxOS on my desktop machine because in my opinion that's the best platform for what I want to do on my desktop machine. I use FreeBSD on my server because that's the platform I know for running servers. An OS doesn't need to be...

Ilovehotdog No you're not. Average users can't even spell FreeBSD much less find this forum.

And I'd bet none of those can be installed by an average user in front of a blank screen with a formatted disk.

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

The culture is enshittified. Imagine you desire a backdoor in your gaming system that listens to your controller link to ensure you're not using software on it to cheat. I don't get it. The real competition spririt is gone at this point. That...

PC gaming can't have that :cool:; you're supposed to tweak PCs for the best gaming experience (else why not a console), and rabbit holes can lead to FreeBSD with lowest-known latency and xorg.conf snippets fun!

Then don't use them. Why would you expect ee to handle PDFs? I didn't even know it did. This is a mom and pop user mentality. A Windows gamer mentality. If you want games and user friendly simple things, use Windows. FreeBSD is not for you. To...

Ilovehotdog, it's surprisingly doable to stick with some of the older programs, though not all of them. I don't think there is a console browser that works on modern web pages, and though I still use mutt for email, I have it set to open a...

It's not about size to me but complexity. It should be required or not applied because it isn't a requirement.

Your link doesn't seem to refer to NetBSD at all... What doesn't work of the VC support?

If you really care, you can help by getting involved (as noted before). Commenting here is fine but that likely won't influence the direction of FreeBSD.

Using it as occasional desktop option. I like the portability. There's no rolled out installation. Copy your files to the target computer storage where they are expected. The ability to maintain a pretty strict standard over many architectures...

Curse that crappy YT! :rude:💩😤 I was about to link you the prelude of Wagner's "Lohengrin" - which, when you have it from a real quality recording (CD/vinyl,..) at >5:50 could be a real hardcore test to your speakers system. Anyway the link...

I've proven that FreeBSD can handle everyday stuff for regular users. Even 20 years ago, I was writing Chinese stories and playing Diablo on FreeBSD. Yeah, with twm — it worked just fine. I honestly don't get why Debian lets you choose a default...

FreeBSD with JWM as the desktop environment uses very little 283 MiB and is very lightweight.

FreeBSD with JWM as the desktop environment uses very little 283 MiB and is very lightweight.

I am not a lawyer, but I believe the definition of stealing or theft is something like "taking something away from someone with the intention of depriving them of it for ever." In other words, it isn't defined by getting something for nothing...

I school 17 years , i had a math teacher, he told us, wise men do self critic.

FreeBSD with JWM as the desktop environment uses very little 283 MiB and is very lightweight.

Sounds kind of missing the irony to me! Anyway, he can't be right because I'm right and I'm not him.

I may have used NetBSD before 2018, as opposed to what I wrote in my first post here. It may have even been before 2016. I remember using NetBSD for it had a working Flash Player, when this application was popular. Flash Player was reliable on...

What does drm-61-kmod? Using that on Raptor Lake / UHD Graphics 770 I haven't seen a clear explanation of which 1 is needed per Intel class.

Ping -4 for inside a ipv4 LAN? Not sure but this once took me some time when they added the -4 parameter. I still always have to think of it because the error is off-context. Other chance is that there's no gateway ip: #route add default <modem...

Nah, if reality meets my fancies exactly, then god help us all. Seriously: Sometimes it's just to give another angle of view on some topic already said, or to elaborate a certain point more deeply. I agree that for some this comes redundant. But...

Maturin, I'm "complaining" about needing a +300MB external display server only to operate a graphics card. See it as research. What's actually required? Not the entire X.org installation but the parts that set a resolution and display things. I...

No problem logging into to bugs.freebsd.org. No unusual spam.

It seems that the most realistic solution is the file manager, although I would always trend to trick with some commands. Since I think that a file manager in some situation could be useful, I have 4 installed: 1) rox-filer 2) ytree 3) nnn 4)...

Duplicate. Browser remembers cancelled text and puts it on again.

Have you tried fzf ? just run it in the directory will produce quick list $ cd $( find . -type d | fzf) $ nvim $( find . -type f | fzf) also highly recommend shells/fish - autosuggest by fuzzyfind any part of the file, eg $ cd /u/l/etc...
