The guy who wrote this post is a total noob in BSD area so his statement can be only seen as humorous. This is an old distro hopper thing. There are 3 BSDs. One is lauded for portability so PC user doesn't care much. Of the other two, he gets...

Hi, Mandatory yearly screenshot, this time captured from my trusty old Thinkpad x220. Still a Thinkpad, still FreeBSD, still DWM. It just works ™️ .

At some point they changed to an audio only podcast.

"The power to serve" was a really good slogan. It is now more applicable than ever - serving the owner of the hardware, not the vendor of the operating system. The index page the more I look at it the more weird I feel...the content on it, the...

If it got skipped because a dependency failed then you won't get a fallout message. The dependency gets the fallout message, skipped port builds don't. Indeed. Can't tell what the reason for the crashed build is though. But it sometimes happens...

Ofc. I have 22 core 128 GB RAM machine with 15.0-RELEASE, and not a stranger to FreeBSD kernel dev. Also not a stranger to Linux kernel dev or Debian. Are you on FreeBSD discord maybe?

Can you test the code on your machine,make patches,open issues,propose code,etc ?

First it failed to apply patches (even though no changes were made), and the last run crashed entirely.

NapoleonWils0n, good to see you back here, haven't seen you for awhile. I think I've mentioned to you that I have links to some of your dwl and Nvidia videos on a lot of my pages.

I still do most of the time. But I use vim in mutt and in doing a little daily cryptoquote puzzle--the first because long ago (not true anymore) FreeBSD's vi (nvi, I believe) couldn't do Japanese so I set editor to vim and never changed it, the...

It looks good so far to me. This wasn’t a shock to some who frequent ML and source tree dev. The good news is that the FreeBSD community can contribute toward the redesign. A possible feature for the old timers can be to have an old school...

Ok, it works with TAGGED bridge VLANS if my remote similarly TAGGED VLAN belongs to a different subnet☝️☝️☝️ So it's more like a VPN joining two subnets. Whereas with the OLD bridge approach your remote VLAN should belong to the same subnet...

Looking at freshports, here all the available version: It appears that for an unknown reason we got no latest build done for i386, and I got no fallout message about it. Hence no update I guess. You could build the new wow64 variant available...

When you're in charge I'd prefer something like httpd.apache.org, thanks!

Summary: Pure CPU-bound code runs with ~15% overhead — this is hardware-accelerated via VT-x/EPT, the guest runs natively on the CPU. The real cost is in syscalls (3-4x slower due to VM exits) and memory bandwidth (EPT double-translation). Disk...

Working on this...

Yes, you have both PW and PA again. That won't work.

Excellent work Zio. I'm interested in helping out if you need extra hands.

Hello to everyone. We have booted Debian and FreeBSD with qemu accelerated with bhyve/vmm for the first time. This is an epic milestone. Further development is needed...a lot of development...but anyway this is a storic moment....we can...

I moved from xfce to Mate to get rid of Pulseaudio when xfce added that dependency. Bugs in Pulseaudio are par for the course. ;)

Dunno, "Release information" vs "Release Engineering" always seemed unnecessary to me. I would have just grouped everything under "Release Information". Newcomers to FreeBSD are kind of unlikely to know the difference between the two. And...

They are overloaded and confusing ... not my taste ...

The new design looks fit better for smartphones. I somtimes see "Sent from my iphone" among official mailing lists. So at least some developers may be reading official web site on smartphones when away from keyboards. In my humble opinion, it may...

Yeah...

Hahaha, well, let's hope you're right! https://www.gchq.gov.uk/

GCHQ do some impressive work, primarily focused on global (overseas) rather than domestic surveillance (supposedly). That said, in the UK, getting public funding for anything is a struggle (DERA -> PDERA -> QinetiQ possibly didn't help). Perhaps...

I tend to agree plus its much harder to guarantee there is no leakage outside of the VPN. Having a separate box providing i.e only a SOCKS5h gateway through the VPN ensures either there is no leakage or there is simply no connection.

POSIX™ doesn’t require /etc/passwd, but yeah: At least anchor username, i. e. ^username:; username alone may inadvertently match multiple times. Primarily because MG knows said users exist – ~existent_user is sufficient (assuming portable user...

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...

I'd remove these, at least temporarily, to see if the booting situation improves. cpu_microcode_load="YES" cpu_microcode_name="/boot/firmware/intel-ucode.bin" # AHCI POWER MANAGEMENT FOR EVERY USED CHANNEL (ahcich 0-7)...

I know you said you are logging off from discussion, but I just want to respond, be careful about presuming the use cases. GUI is definitely not just for graphical design stuff. There are hundreds of GUI applications on FreeBSD/UNIX I mean real...

I see what others are saying about design issues. I'm on vacation and can only look at my phone. A number of years ago I had offered to have the people at my Web dev company look at a redesign but from what we were told we thought it was more...

Ok, so system is booted now? What else is in /boot/loader.conf, and are you loading any kernel modules through kld_list in rc.conf?

I think the question is misplaced, every user has right to complain about the product or the service regardless of his background. Especially when the changes are purely cosmetic. I get your angle tho, but I don't think it's applicable here...

It looks like somebody living under a rock discovered Bootstrap, decided to get funky with it and failed.

The version of the OS has nothing to do with the versions of ports/packages.

An LLM is basically a fuzzy search engine on steroids.

I'm using waterfox; it seems to be a size related issue. If the horizontal dimension is less than about 970 you get the hamburger, above that you get the old style menu.

I agree. I think this is a big part of it Firstly, I feel AI is an incorrect name, it's more of a REALLY big database.

It's sad, but I'm pretty sure you're right, and I'm just telling myself they're more ethical so I feel better.

Larry Niven had a story about an AI that, when powered on, rapidly learned everything that there was to be known. But before you could ask it any questions, it had realized that from now on it was only to be boredom, and it had killed itself.

When the system boots in single user mode only the root filesystem is mounted and will be read-only.

True but luckily this is the UK. They can make laws and apply social restrictions but do not have infrastructure for that kind of domestic (consumer) surveillance. In part because the vast majority of UK internet providers are owned by foreign...

That is what I hope, too. My generation does, but we had first hand experience with supressive regimes. You know, when you told a good joke over the phone you heard someone chuckle? When you told a bad joke, you went missing? Those who came...

Excellent write up. With the latest Version, I do get with npm -g update npm warn Conflicting peer dependency: openai@4.104.0 npm warn node_modules/openai npm warn peer openai@"^4.62.1" from @browserbasehq/stagehand@1.14.0 npm warn...

Looks good! The donate button top-right looks out-of-place though; maybe have it the same size, margins, and color-shade as the search box?

That's the whole point: Designing an UI is about functionality and efficiency in usage, not to look pretty. A functional and efficient in usage UI is automatically pretty, while a primarily designed to be pretty one is not good in funcionality...

But to me that top menu is only exposed when you click on the hamburger at the right side. What gets exposed is what used to be across the top on the old website. For me, part of the problem is I never look at the 3 lines as a clickable item...
