where we currently are in the hype curve of "AI", some companies will replace parts of their workforce with AI. I predict that these companies are not the smart ones; they will not survive in the long run (in 5 - 10 years most of them will not be...

I suspect you installed the update previously, then reverted to the BE from before the update (which is why the 15.0-RELEASE-p6_2026-05-15_195917 BE is currently active). This effectively reverted the update. When you use freebsd-update and have...

That sound wired. Were those big jobs linker jobs?

It seems there was a period that drm-61-kmod didn't refer to the correct FreeBSD 15 linuxkpi compat layer source files without the developer(s) knowing it. Can't expect them to test it on any OS major kernel upgrade.

My understanding is that the tests are done on main (aka CURRENT) branch of base only. Don't forget that maintainers / developers / committers are basically volunteers (with quite limited exceptions) and usually don't have all combinations of...

It's a few weeks off. I just figured out gitup ports. Trying with up-to-date portstree. Still, I wonder how a "official" portstree can refer to non-existing system header files. They did a build before publication, right? Did the kmod port...

It's the freebsd.org ftp ports archive from about 4 days ago. Do I need a more recent 1? (Never really cared about following bug reports. That takes too much time without result for solo system release maintainers)

I'm trying to build graphics/drm-61-kmod on a offline FreeBSD 15.0 RELEASE system but it has a problem with a missing system source file??? Start of the errors in the make output: cc -O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -DLINUXKPI_VERSION=60100...

"Issue" with X clipboard is how many modern desktop apps don't give a rats ass about it, and will happily just select something without you ever dragging the mouse over. Click once on the Firefox URL bar and your selection for clipboard has been...

I say neither case is relevant, there is no chance you're building Chromium in an hour on a 12 core machine in 1 or 30 hours if the build system is correct. You'd need 8 GHz CPU for that 1 hr. Check if you have make.conf flags that could...

I've tracked today the entire build, first half is really fast, but somewhere along 30k file count the engine stuff starts being built and things slow down to an extent of seeing a static screen for a few seconds. I don't think there is a problem...

I have seen all kinds of odd things happening while building ports. However, parallel builds fail so rarely due to parallelism that it is not worth trying this unless you have a build fail. Ungoogled Chromium takes roughly 2.5 hours to build...

+1 Very true. I think this all has to do with misconceptions and stereotypes. Before, Linux was the arcane thing, and if you managed to use it in any way, you could boast about being a computer god among the other normies that hadn't even...

graphics/waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan Examples can be seen upstream. If you're OK with 2x (, 4x, 8x, ...) upscaling, maybe graphics/realesrgan-ncnn-vulkan gives better results. Examples can be seen upstream. Note that the latter cannot generate sane...

I would bet on installing a base-only system on both and try to get a graphical X.org screen without anything else using pkg install. Then try to start any simple Xorg program from another vt terminal and see it it appears on the graphical...

Original article here. Consider this when replying. The third BETA build for the FreeBSD 15.1 release cycle is now available. ISO images for the amd64, armv7, aarch64, powerpc64, powerpc64le, and riscv64 architectures are FreeBSD mirror sites...

Should be no problem. What's on it now?

For more than 2 years old hardware I would just give it a go. You need to decide if you want Xorg/Xlibre or Wayland though.

The debug facilities in Chrome and Firefox are very useful, and driven by menus so they aren't that hard to learn. Start by pressing F12 or right-click "inspect" and go from there. Alternatively you can use the "-i flag" with curl, it will also...

I never had problems with Chromium's parallel build.

Actually I haven't noticed any instabilities and the NVIDIA control panel didn't show any issues. Also I am not using any intensive GPU related task, so far so good... 🤷‍♂️

Did you use the debug facilities in the browser to verify that this header is actually arriving?

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...

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...
