This doesn't seem to be the case for those wanting to use it for open-source contributions. They very much find that it improves their workflow. Though the idea of being "forced" to use AI at work is quite laughable. I am also 100% sure that is...

Thank you. displays the current load average, the name of the command in the foreground, its process ID, the symbolic wait channel, the number of user and system sec- onds used, the percentage...

There's one already; 278397 It probably needs an update on finance/electrum, but that port is unmaintained. Upsteam has 4.7.2 available, the port is still at 4.6.2

It is interesting to me because I often come across stuff written in stupid languages I am keen to translate :) I am assuming that Zig (and Rust) are easier to translate from because they are static typed languages? Even though AI tends to have...

You do realize that that is just asking for massive amounts of trouble, right? If they do accept that and you do win a court case, it's effectively going to mean a ton of hardware and software products that have BSD licensed software that doesn't...

Hmmm. Tried to publish a share with guest rights on FreeBSD-current with samba 4.23.6. Guest account is supposed to map to user nobody by default. I have nobody and su'ing to it allowed me to read the files I want to share. But the smb share was...

Yep

The intention is bad; it's all about surveillance and the real-name requirement. The children are just being used as a pretext.

kldload vmm ? I expect it's in Qemu 11 but I'm using 9.x so I can't see the vmm support anyway.

Here are the actual commits, kinda: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/pull/30412/commits

This looks like the right trigger for most people here :) For many here Bun itself is also a trigger. "Anthropic’s Bun Rust rewrite merged at speed of AI Version 1.3.14 of JavaScript toolkit released as last Zig version; a million lines of Rust...

Try Google: chrome select file dialog lag. I don't use Chrome but those 6 seconds feel like a network timeout of something or a file or directory being somehow in use by something outside chrome..

Minimalist as always. Found some surreal close-ups of Jupiter from NASA JPL that I put on rotation.

I stopped reading at "I don’t want to use FreeBSD on that one, being that it’s the Ubuntu of the BSD world"

Chrome runs as user that has no write permission there? I often try chmod a+rwx temporarily to make sure we're not having a permission denied for some reason.

Ft. Leonard Wood? Now you're in my neck of the woods (but not really).

I open directories all day long with tons of videos and images. I don't run icewm. I'm wondering if icewm or its configuration is the problem. Perhaps you can install another wm and try it there.

I went full-time FreeBSD for a couple years. These are my takeaways : I never look back. FreeBSD instilled in me a real love for Unix, the rediscovery of computer pioneers, it make me feel myself a genuine computer enthusiast.

Interesting

Not only is it fun. It's the easiest Unix-like OS to manage and to use as Desktop. (the other ones I can compare are: various Linuxes, OpenBSD, OpenSolaris, Sun Solaris back in the day etc.).

Recently, Jupiter Broadcasting's main show had a week-long challenge where the hosts and many of the audience tried switching to a BSD for a week. While it seems that 2/3 of the hosts had a horrible time, I thought it was a fun and worthwhile...

Wow... looks like Van Gogh...

It seems to be supported by Qemu now. What doesqemu-system-x86_64 -accel helpsay after loading the vmm module? It should recognize vmm as available accellerator. I'm curious about what this improves.

The partition on that disk would be da0a, not da0. But, I'm not entirely sure if NetBSD's UFS and FreeBSD's UFS implementations are compatible.

Where are those files and what do they have to do with Qemu? I think this is bhyve part.

For a serious effort (but that wouldn't do on screen) if you want to switch, the tryout period should be at least one month. A week is just playing a game.Just my 0.02 Eurocents.

On FreeBSD-15.0, it keeps crashing even when restricted to ssh-ed25519

"returned the data" Sure, sure they have. The data never left the hacked system, all they've done is say "We got money from you we promise to not share it or let others extort you". The word of the person breaking into your house and stole your...

Colleagues, allow me to join this discussion thread and ask the main question to which, unfortunately, I cannot find an answer. When will it be fixed?

Attackers won't be able to abuse your DHCP request. Unless they've completely infiltrated your ISP at every level. Not impossible (certainly not in this day and age), highly unlikely though. Bad actor working for your ISP is more likely, but I...

I see DNSMasq is leaking badly. I use it on my Firewall. https://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2026q2/018471.html I only use DNSMasq internally for my network. Hopefully this should limit my exposure some. I have it buttoned...

Please forgive a small digression, but behind everything a human creates, understands, and uses — even in the world of computers — there is always a quiet reflection of emotion. Lately, discussions often appear suggesting that BSD is meant for...

I took a class in high school called Fundamentals of Networking, I think it was put on by Alcatel or something. We learned Red Hat Enterprise Linux and it was fascinating to me. The best memory for me was controlling my classmates' computers...

First I heard, and read about that there was something like Unix, and grabbed a rough idea what it was about was in the early 80s. Back then in (west) germany computering was called EDV (Elektronische Datenverarbeitung - 'electronic data...

Too wild a guess, but better supports for HiDPI.

OpenBSD has better support for SDIO and also still supports old Baytrail graphics which is cool. They also have UrbanTerror available for download and install. Those are a few things they have that I wish we had on FreeBSD. But overall OpenBSD...

Questions about 'derivative FreeBSDs', like GhostBSD TrueNAS XigmaNAS OPNsense pfSense BSD Router Project NomadBSD helloSystem HardenedBSD should be asked on the forums and/or mailing lists for these specific products. See below for links. If...

To set computer time manually in FreeBSD is basically easy to do, set date as root with two digits every section Sections are year, month , day and minute. An another way is to use a script which makes it with graphical dialogs. If you give...

You said everything correctly, but I asked for arguments in favor of the FreeBSD AI-server. Well, for example, "soon we will be able to run AMD NPUs", when we rewrite xdna-driver for FreeBSD: https://github.com/amd/xdna-driver

I'm trying to understand your original post. It seems to say the following: You want to do AI calculations, using TensorFlow or PyTorch. The amount of AI calculations you want to do is small enough that it doesn't justify buying a whole GPU or...

Some advocacy is needed to use FreeBSD as an AI server system. I'm going to use FreeBSD as the base system for the AI server. Perhaps someone (from the Linux world) will have questions for me about this because of their inertia of thinking, and I...

Listening to Lofi Girl radio on the X220, with an Aune 'mini usb dac V2 SE' and Sennheiser HD6XX. :-) FreeBSD 14.4-RELEASE, running windowmaker desktop. The box under the DAC is a regulated linear PSU. Sounds very nice just using pcm and OSS...

This should be scfb (x11-drivers/xf86-video-scfb) instead of VESA (x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa) if OP is booting via UEFI instead of legacy BIOS. It would be exec dbus-launch --exit-with-x11 ck-launch-session mate-session for Mate DE (what I'm...

There is more than one way of trying to fix this, some will be better than others, only you can determine which is best for you. 1. Use pkg set or pkg lock to prevent a package from deleting another's dependency...

I have never tried running Steam on FreeBSD before but as it is a Linux application, the FreeBSD host would have to be properly setup beforehand to run Linux compatibility. I had a quick look to see if there was a FreeBSD package for Steam and I...

Admittedly, I have never been sure of the use-case of a Live USB. You could just install a normal OpenBSD on the USB disk and set the root r/o in the fstab. If you want to get fancy, then /tmp, /var/run, /dev could be mounted via mount_mfs(8)...

Wouldn't that conclude to a amd64 speciification bias? Kernel going down without the conditions to trigger a panic? The system gives up without a reason?

In ports is a new version of gitup which works. I built it and it works. I am back on gitup.
