Something something .com. It ends with .com. Also, doesn't seem like there's an @, so it's not an email. I think the last three letters are ess. So *ess.com Like fitness.com. You can't recover entropy. It's a rule of physics. So something blurry...

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.

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

After a couple hours, I just got Steam running. The linuxulator-steam-utils docs got me started, but I needed the web, man pages, and the forums to get where I wanted to be. If I were completely new to FreeBSD (or Linux) and relying on the git...

I'm so very much confused by things like this. Also, I've seen terms like "Linux nerd" or "Linux poweruser" or "guru" or whatever but at the same time, the "requirements" are childish. -e.g. "install a package" or "start a service" or "install a...

This doesn't sound right. /etc/rc.d/zfskeys, regardless if 14 or 15 branch, doesn't prompt for a passphrase for encrypted datasets with the ZFS property "keylocation=prompt" during boot, unless it's enabled in /etc/rc.conf (...

Wayland invents fun issues like this :p View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGdQPzlwX4M Happens with MESA_VK_WSI_PRESENT_MODE=fifo that I tried to force for smooth gameplay (does odd hitching/jitter uncapped)

Use the venting device /dev/null: 🤬 cat > /dev/null << 'EOT' FreeBSD sucks! EOTConstructive criticism is of course appreciated.

I'm having the same problem. Could you please explain how you apply your fix with awk?

Yes, it's working without any issues! I am using as my main DAC currently. I was using udac5, too but the SU-1 is better in my opinion. Buy with confidence! I read that the developers are starting to write code for the first time for DSD...

Wayland or X?

I've never heard of this before. Does this still happen if you remove the display before disconnecting the monitor? That's the first thing I'd try and if so, it's always possible to set up a short cut to just do that if nothing else works.

99gigs of RAM for a VM is a lot, I'm somewhat curious what you're doing as if you need that much RAM, it usually makes more sense to just ditch the virtualization. Personally, nothing I'm doing seems to really require even 10gigs and my...

A lot of that has to do with the way that computers have been dumbed down over the years and the users infantilized. I was able to use the Apple ][ for basic things when I was in elementary school. The degree to which people are allowed to...

Is there a link to an artifact/nightly/snapshot to try now? I pulled in 1.3.14 yesterday and it's still fine for a game, but I wanna see something break :p Edit: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/releases/tag/canary

Same here man. Has been for a long time now. All his stuff is good. Fingerbib, cliffs, Alberto Balsalm, Polynomial-C, so many other good songs. Probably the most innovative electronic music artist ever. Anyhow, here is some more music, some...

Aphex Twin is one of my absolutely favorites!

Just want to build qemu 11 to see what has changed since 9. I don't use Python direct;y, only as requirement of programs. Qemu is part of my custom FreeBSD version, included for Windows PC rescue purposes. Programming is C or shell.

.

I didn't notice the port name. Had to install py-urllib3 and a lot of required py-... ports after that. I don't know how much more. Should this be done with pip? It seems like a dependency tree but only for python-based ports.

I'd be impressed if anything public could do something with that :p (might require manual high-zoom and individual pixel clean-up) View: https://youtu.be/I_8ZH1Ggjk0?si=MxRpGL4XK76ravfQ&t=30

While trying to build qemu 11 for the 1st time:Extension error: Could not import extension sphinx.builders.linkcheck (exception: No module named 'urllib3') ../docs/meson.build:39:6: ERROR: Problem encountered: Install a Python 3 version of...

I have been a admin/user of FreeBSD since v2.15. I love FreeBSD and I am an evangelist for it. As FBSD 13 was EOLed I had to upgrade to 14. What a crapshow! The upgrade appeared to go smoothly, but what happened to my packages? The db didn't...

I can't believe I live in the same state as this university and that my son, the fruit of my loins, went there. I am so embarrassed.

The Assisted-By: line is very much human made.

It's also a personality thing without being constructive. I need to get mad about a lot to get things done. Just keep it in the area of computers. Everything is designed stupid. 😆

A good idea might be to dump the sql pkgdb. Why do we need a specific data format to see what's installed while everything else is just text? If it's gone, much more community package utilities will appear... Not if you have to learn a database...

I did start a thread on this, I called it, "Retro Computing MegaThread." I was waiting for you to make the thread but you never did and it took a day or so for the message to get approved and become visible. Just as this message will take awhile...

IBM 5155, PS/2 386, Philips NMS 8280 MSX. Lots of 8-bit consoles. Still have to make a Macintosh SE and Amstrad Joyce work with their broken SCSI disk and 3" floppy replaced with flash storage. Using a large amount of FreeBSD utilities to make...

I've just installed GIMP for the first time and it seems what I would call 'full featured' so I have no idea where to find an image sharpening feature. Anyone know where I should look?

The X201 is another older thinkpad that also works well with freebsd. That is the immediate predecessor of the X220. It's pretty similar, the main limitation is you can only put a max of 8GB ram in the X201, and only a single sata drive...

The Linux kernel just added a Documentation/ file about this: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-7.1-Kernel-Docs-AI-Bugs

I've continued experimenting with this VM + bridge + multiple tap setup. Here's what I found and added to my experience about the OLD way bridging. Perhaps it is also related to problems I'm having with this NEW bridge structure? In my old...

graphics/gmic is a commandline tool for this kind of work that is more powerful than ImageMagick. It has various sharpening algorithms.

Thanks a lot for that link, really. This way I stumbled upon Pale Moon browser, which is a "saw-off" Mozilla fork, if I may use the expression. And I like it.

xlibre has a number of developers working on it (more than most Wayland projects). One of them is stefan11111 who has in the past done some great work at cleaning up fundamental libraries (i.e gtk+2). Speaking of which, there is even more...

ISTR having a Jupiter Boadcasting channel a long time ago when I first started using KODI and often watched BSD Now, but when I check the website https://www.bsdnow.tv/ I don't see any videos. Is it just me that can't find them?

There should be a tool in the ImageMagick collection that can sharpen images.

So good! Thanks!
