This is a good read on the specific topic of generative "AI" and plagiarism. I've yet to find a good paper on verbatim software copying that has been demonstrated as output from "AI"...

It's from a a site called boredpanda, which has a lot of things (that I never bother to look at) with titles like, If you think you're smart, see if you can solve these or If you recognize all these song titles you really know your music, etc...

It's extremely rare. I paid for a 6 inch Aristona TV-radio and 7 inch security BNC display but I was scammed. He sent me a payment request on his ex-wife bank account who blocked everything that had to do with him. Still no idea how that worked...

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

Yes, but Greek mythology said "if you cross her gaze" not "if you look at her ass"

You have a 5 inch tube? :cool:

Came across this one, and I confess, it took me a minute to get it. When I did, I laughed https://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/funny-science-humor-memes-6a0abaaf18446__700.jpg

I've my Atari 130XE. I use sio2usb to remove the only annoying thing I remember about it - time it took to load a game. Showed some games to my kids too.

>Answering: Why format as "exFAT"< For a 1TB USB SSD on your 2025/2026 Tesla Model S (HW4) (for Sentry/Dashcam camera footage), the best and easiest method is to let the car format it automatically. This is the recommended approach in Tesla's...

Same. Was worried we lost you. Good stuff as always and thanks

Easy mate The advantage of the new method is that it you just click the button in the browser and it installs the plugin so it wont break like other methods and you also have proper adblocking using ublock origin Unlike using Chromium which...

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.

Freebsd Firefox Widevine for drm playback now working in a Rocky Linux Podman container No Nvidia driver installed in the Podman container works by mounting the Linuxulator directories for the Nvidia drivers from Freebsd to the Podman container...

Is this even possible? It would already be great to support games to, say 2006 that still depend on DirectX 9 and an old Nvidia driver. I have +200 XP CD games. I believe we actually have to abandon hardware 3d-accelleration totally. A grid of...

Is that a compliment? My expertise and WWW audit methodology are public (still in Lithuanian only, sorry).

I personally have no issue with that, designs can and should be reinterpreted over time. I just think the whole idea of coddling people that lack the ability to actually understand what they're being offended by to be a waste of time and energy...

I understand. I managed to read it on my 2nd or 3rd try, once a bit "calmer" ;) The OP came here, posted, I haven't seem him before, he didn't respond, limits his profile for us to see other activity. This is nothing but advertisement for his blog.

now that makes a lot more sense and now i want the old slogan back yup, it definitely clashes with how FreeBSD feels as an OS probably, it does feel more polished than this new one at least very well-put, this really doesn't feel like a BSD...

I'll give one small example. I had an nginx site that wasn't doing what I wanted. I went through the file and still couldn't figure it out. I debated asking here, but didn't. It's a 173 line file and whatever was wrong, I was missing it and...

Oh my: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Red-Hat-RHEL-10.2-RHEL-9.8 https://www.phoronix.com/news/GTK4-For-Vim

What actually happened was this. I had a WLAN connection to the remote host with this vlanfilter bridge running. So when I set my local em0.12 interface to a different subnet from that on the bridge, it became possible to receive packets from...

I'll be there.

One major thing that separates Debian/Ubuntu from BSD is addition of 'sane' configuration for 3rd party services in the package by the repo maintainers and autostarting on install.

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...

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...

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. After 3 days of full work,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...

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/
