ethernet, not wifi. But still cool.

ok, tested the updated fan control now tingo@devpi5:~/work/projects/FreeBSD/FreeBSD15-RPi5-modules $ sudo sysctl hw.rpi5.fan.temp0=45000 hw.rpi5.fan.temp0: 50000 -> 45000 tingo@devpi5:~/work/projects/FreeBSD/FreeBSD15-RPi5-modules $ sysctl...

Of course, after posting, I figured it out. I'd accidentally commented out the bar section. Once I uncommented that, I saw resize as expected. Again I want to thank bsdcode because if you hadn't mentioned it I probably would have just shrugged...

Ok, I think I'll mark this solved. When I use the default configuration, I see the resize string. So, it's something in my config, which answers my question of whether it's FreeBSD or me. It is definitely more important to have my custom...

Does git needs any configuration as gitup? I will use just for ports. I saw that portsnap is still in ports...anyone using it still? Thank you. I did switch to GIT and it works without problems.

No it just said now entering mode resize. But the fact that it's working for you lets me know that it's either an oddity on my install, or the way I configured it. I will try, using the default config.

I use x11-wm/i3 almost exclusively on FreeBSD since many years now. I never experienced your descripted problem, the "resize" string is always shown when I switch to the resize mode (I use the default keybinding $mod+r). Do you see anything...

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

Well, I meant people where the only reason they have a computer at all is to play games.

Switching from git.freebsd.org to github.com (as mentioned in the gitup issue) fixes the problem, so I’ll do this until the root cause is found and fixed. I’m certainly not replacing gitup with git. I like gitup specifically because it’s small...

This is also happening to me, starting today. For the benefit of anyone else who finds this thread: The OP of the thread in the freebsd-hackers mailing list that nxjoseph@ linked to (above) posted a followup message, saying that they opened bug...

Ilovehotdog is, obviously, able to do all those things. The question was whether or not FreeBSD would be the OS that provided an out of the box experience, that allowed the plain john/jane user (non tech, non hobbyist, etc) to do all of those...

What compression type do you recommend for a ZFS dataset that will contain files encrypted with PEFS or another encryption method? Does compression provide any practical benefit in this case, or is it better to disable it entirely?

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 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.

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...

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...
