Judging from what blackbird9 posted, it doesn't so much scare me as make me thing something I've said here before--that AI, or LLMs or whatever the accurate term for it is, is tempting--that is, if I have something like a .mailfilter file that...

Top menu, "Get FreeBSD" -> "Release information". For the current releases. Top menu, "Get FreeBSD" -> "Release engineering". For the upcoming release schedules, older releases, etc.

Since the org owns the freebsd.org TLD, that has to be a different OS release with website. But I think keeping that ad-network association is a bad idea. Did this exist on the previous page? I never noticed. I Use the page to check available...

It still depends a lot on the right of direct encrypted communication. Tor and similar networks will have to generate a constant flow of random network data to hide the clients in. The problem starts when participation becomes suspicion

I looks like your network isn't reaching the outside. Could you show us your /etc/rc.conf (just the lines showing the interface and router, it will look something like (on a home network) ifconfig_re0="192.168.1.40" or might just say dhcp...

Its not bad - but few things could have been done better: - add 'The Power to Serve!' as its main motto - use nice Beastie Daemon image - move 'dark/light' switch to top with rest of the settings My version below:

Is "powerful" a nod towards the original "The power to serve" slogan? I wonder why not just keep that? Its a good niche. Not even Windows aims to "serve" the user anymore.

I personally think this law is (indirectly) good. Its going to forcibly create an entire generation who know how to anonymise and protect themselves online. My generation don't seem to care. However being disallowed access to sites is a great...

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

In general it looks nice enough. Closer now to the handbook style, creating some consistency. It also looks too polished like a product. It will give distro hoppers the wrong idea because they will still need to open a text editor and actually...

Old one, should still work though. New one is vfs.zfs.vdev.min_auto_ashift

16K is a multiple of 4K, so it should be fine.

Or just look at how quality websites from like 30 years ago were done and leave it at that. The vast majority of "innovations" in design since then have been pretty inept and have done more harm than good. That being said, I do agree with that...

Aliexpress WM8740 dac/psu. This comes as two separate good quality metal cases, one containing the mains transformer and one containing the dac, both fitted with rubber feet. After failing to get the Audinst to work, I had to get this. This is...

Fair points, though the point of parsing out the /etc/passwd is to confirm that the home directory is where you think it is and isn't a nonstandard one for one reason or another. The OP from the sound of it already knows whether or not to worry...

By the way, you can rid of the sliding effect by going through the config and changing lines beginning with animation from =1 to =0 at the end. And then finding the lines animation_type and changing those from slide to none. There are also...

That attitude has killed people already... From an engineering standpoint : "form follows function". And whoever complains, wait till they are done. They seem to be ironing out some things. If it stays in a fisher price mode, you may continue to...

Curl used to have a dependency on ca_root_nss, that's why it is getting upgraded too. The others are dependencies of curl (which need to be updated if curl itself is updated).

Then you'd expect to see a "Username or password incorrect" type of error, not a connection timing out.

Where is the bit where it tells you which are the release versions and upcoming versions? That was the most important part of the front page, for me.

question to the nay-sayers (or possibly food for thought): how does it compare to yours?

Top menu, "Get FreeBSD" -> "Release information". For the current releases. Top menu, "Get FreeBSD" -> "Release engineering". For the upcoming release schedules, older releases, etc.

I am trying to update only ca_root_nss inside an old jail that still has older packages installed. pkg -j php72 upgrade ca_root_nss Updating CretaForce repository catalogue... CretaForce repository is up to date. All repositories are up to...

Will there be people from the community at Wacken this year?

Correct me if I'm wrong, "data-pool/offsite/nas01/pool01/backups" was created with -o keyformat=passphrase -o keylocation=prompt, hence So why is "zfskeys" asking for a "hex" key file? To make sure, what does zfs get...

Trying to look at it as someone unfamiliar with FreeBSD, I'd say, ok, you can get to the handbook pretty quickly, there's a section on basics, available with a click from the front page, the FAQ is available from the front page. It doesn't make...

Hello SirDice. Good one :). I'm pretty sure the package was compiled locally, wanted just to share a timestamp (compile time is precisely between the installation of packages).

The new design is horrible, I need to scroll around to get to the content. I know I'm on FreeBSD.org - I don't need to have a huge billboard shown to me.

Please revert to the old design, please.

I think it in particular exists for this situation: to unify the creation of user accounts without actually logging in as them, but still maintain the relative home directory.

Update your ports tree. Looks like a few minor changes to the port happened. You should have 11.0.0_1. https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/emulators/qemu/Makefile?id=f816572e04c228b7b091aa3ff8e395d5c1c9ab2b Dependencies should be...

It cannot connect to your configured smarthost, the connection times out. Firewall blocking the outgoing traffic?

active top level triggers wallpaper blur, smoothly highlighting the topbar

I miss Beastie, it is only there on the bottom...

Nothing got compiled here. You uninstalled then installed a package.

Indeed, it is like that.

That's what I'd do: # grep "username" /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{print $6}' It searches the passwd files for the given user and prints the home directory for it. Since we're already using root to run this, I don't see any good reason to do it a...

oh my god i didn't even realize Beastie completely lost its shading, even my boy has been nerfed 😭

I do too, the sorts of people that took issue with the older character aren't the sort that have ever contributed positively to a project.

Says you... ;)

I understand that you have the problem on a tablet. But if it is reproducible on a real computer you can still debug there. When I asked about your architecture I didn't mean the client. How do you http serve? Do you go through apache? Do you...

I send access logs to /dev/null :cool:

A website always has the IP addresses of its visitors.

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...
