To be fair, irssi isn't exactly being churned with fixes / updates either. IRC and the clients are pretty mature by now. Some software is just kinda "complete".

You might want to keep /usr/ports/distfiles though, save a bit of bandwidth.

Now try git with the depth parameter, e.g. git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports.git It makes no sense at all to retrieve the entire history.

It's giving you an error? Not deleting? Or doesn't find anything to delete? What's not working?

Don't worry, I do too, lots of folks here do actually. It's a great source of information.

And to complete the list of problems, VM host machine also runs DHCP server for VLAN where wlan1 is attached. That's bridge0.2 (untagged 2) in the new-style setup. Address is assigned to bridge clone rather than wlan1 itself... Well, it doesn't...

I use (actually, used, the dongle died) a cheap RTL2832U dongle with rtl_433 to read all my wireless 433 MHz sensors (mostly temperature and moisture). I ran this under Linux on an old Raspberry Pi 3B+ for a long time. I have ordered a new...

It’s not possible because the data is also stored on a different file system than ZFS.

In the past, we used an nrf9151** (dk) and a EG95EXGA (breakout) for cellular. Dead easy, just serial interfaces with classic AT commands. The nrf9151 is especially decent because its a very low power ARM32 MCU or you can just flash it with the...

Not a valid regex (see re_format). pkg delete -x lib32 will probably do what you expected.

This is how I switched from net/gitup to devel/git If there's a cleaner or more efficient method, I'm all ears. I only care about the latest commits (the same way gitup works): git clone --depth 1 https://git.freebsd.org/ports.git /usr/ports...

Fixed the issue I had (my own stupid mistake, duh). Now I need to clean up a bit and can submit a patch to get fs-uae updated. Also had a look at fs-uae-launcher but I'm getting a bunch of missing dependency issues there, so I need to spend a...

You can't run a 15.2-STABLE jail on a 15.1-RELEASE host. Anyone can submit patches. For the OS, for ports, for documentation, for anything really.

Yep. Generally pretty on-topic. The numbers of active users is actually very consistent. It hasn't changed much since I started using it a couple of decades ago and will likely remain the same, long after Discord shuts business.

comms/sdr++ works with the RTL SDR dongle I have (Nooelec NESDR Mini SDR & DVB-T).

I must also add that ALL tap interfaces on the VM host are used by that VM guest. It works as a firewall/router -- that's the idea. And PF configuration there explicitly blocks traffic between 192.168.8.0/27 and 192.168.9.0/27. Since they're both...

No it can't. 192.168.8.1/27 is unreachable to remote host, whether I use "non-vlan" igb1 or 'vlan 10" igb1.10 for that network segment. Remote system only can reach the VM host through 192.168.9.0/27, which is there linked to "untagged" VLAN 3...

Yup :-) Please let us know if any useful information should be added :-)

No.

That's a version of NixOS. It's a package build system for building packages on top of FreeBSD. So it runs on FreeBSD.

@DtxdF. Could you be a bit more explicit? I'm not sure what you mean.

You're confusing base OS patches with quarterly packages. Expat2 got updated from 2.7.5 to 2.8.0 due to a security issue (CVE-2026-41080)...

If you look closely most of the rebuilds are due to expat being updated. That triggers quite a cascade. Deleting expat-2.7.5.pkg: new version: 2.8.0 {...} Deleting avahi-app-0.8_6.pkg: missing dependency: expat-2.7.5 {....} Deleting...

On linux I think... I used both of those on linux, probably slackware at the time. You would have needed an X-server for xchat.

If FreeBSD dismisses X11 (and go wayland with KDE), I will dismiss FreeBSD.

You are only as good as the latest software you're running and the ability to keep up with those. We had a failure in keeping up with XF and that will not happen again. This was the first security event in the 18 years that these forums have...

Indeed they are. That's a backend error. Bugzilla sits behind a reverse proxy, the proxy itself is accessible but the backend isn't. Then a 503 error is typically given.

Is anyone talking?

Hi everyone, I usually browse this forum to find solutions, but now I’d like to share something that might be useful to others. I am running FreeBSD 15-RELEASE. After testing many different fixes found online, I finally found a working solution...

Now... the word "tagged" seems to be the game changer here. But if I use "untagged 10" in the syntax above, then VLAN 10 exists only on localhost. And in order to connect to it from remote LAN host I don't need any VLAN 10 interface like igb0.10...

Hello everyone! I'm very enthusiastic about this new bridge concept in 15.0, so I've put it to use of my old configuration where I had a dedicated bridge for every cloned VLAN interface. But it doesn't seem to work the way I expected. In...

Also be very careful with what you're asking here, because what works for me.. may not work for you. Especially when we're talking about options such as MODULES_OVERRIDE. Anyway, I do have one line which I'm a little proud of...

Most of it is explained in make.conf.

base_weekly is 15-STABLE (or 14-STABLE, depending on ${ABI}), which is now 15.2-STABLE. There are no "patch" versions on -STABLE, it's more like a rolling release (it's actually more like an alpha version of the next minor release). Post the...

I've 'lived' for many years on IRC back around 2k, good times. Always text based ("cli"), always customizable. When it comes to clients... I've only used 2 more seriously: irc/epic4, together with a really cool script/theme which name I forgot...
