The branch of computer security that deals with software bugs (holes) is probably the least likely to be heavily impacted by AI automation. All this stuff has to be reviewed and verified by humans, otherwise it's at best ineffective or at worst...

AlfredoLlaquet Some level of politeness and decorum has always prevailed here on this forum and many are offended by such language in polite company. There is no need for vulgar terms. Otherwise called "gutter talk", language used by people who...

I built it now in just a bit over 4 hrs while working at the computer too, not much but browsing and some text editing. It is a horrible piece of software with 2GB source code...

You could sharpen images, but once you do, it's no longer the same image. It's a recreation of that original image. It depends on if you want the original, then you'll have to stick with the original blurry image. If you use a program with an...

Giving corporate entities a finger in local security is a real bad idea. People are going to buy it, unfortunately. We seem to be losing control of our computers because ignorance rules.

ALWAYS a good idea, and one that I too often forget to do. I try to do it with any upgrade that has any nvidia anything.

It looks like my Nvidia doesn't play nicely with Xlibre: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep WW (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. [2026-05-16 08:54:50] (WW) Hotplugging is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or...

What's happening there? The Wayland engine has to do with th USB mouse input?

I think I need different drugs. I just ran freebsd-update again and now i get p8 in freebsd-version. Haven't a clue what I was doing wrong but, as I said, I guess I need a drug update.

SirDice But my versions are showing p6. I did not revert. Only destroyed previous versions. freebsd-version -kru 15.0-RELEASE-p6 15.0-RELEASE-p6 15.0-RELEASE-p6

The 'default' start() function already has something for this. You defined radicale_user, thus it's going to be started on that user with su. # ${name}_user n User to run ${command} as, using su(1) if not # using ${name}_chroot. #...

BE snapshot with freebsd-update is made before the patches are applied. So if you updated from p6 to p8 the snapshots will show p6. Your currently running BE (NR), I suspect you reverted at some point. The name of your currently active BE...

Unlike Scottro's other thread, I am not using pkgbase. I've happily upgraded through p6 but, as of yesterday, I noticed my upgrades to p7 and p8 did not go through even though the upgrades claim to be successful. BE...

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...
