It is. Either everything - storage space, CPU load, temperatures, network traffic - is OK. Then you don't need to watch this information continously. For example I know I have enough space left on my storages. How many exactly currently, 876G...

I now have Cuda working on Freebsd using a Rocky Linux Podman container This is the python command run inside the Podman container python3 -c "import torch; print('CUDA Available:', torch.cuda.is_available()); print('Device:'...

I'd never heard of that in that place--that is, I know of pdftops, but never ran into having to use that in installing the printer. Good to know, thanks.

and sometimes printing need this: lpadmin -p BrotherMFC -o pdftopsrenderer-default=gs

Can you elaborate on that?

axx now written finished. the pattern file x86_64.axx covered x86_64 ISA is available in Github.

Good points. As far as I know changes to doc get picked up in phabricator, github and bugzilla. I would still consider this a single point to report doc bugs, a thing that Linux also doesn't have. Filing bugs against Linux documentation is done...

Hmm. I've been using FreeBSD for 31 years. Granted everything was relatively primitive back then. For example I switched from Linux 0.95 at the time to FreeBSD 2.0.5 because Linux would crash daily and irreparably corrupt its EXT filesystem every...

For the the heck of it, it might be worth trying the anywhere driver. You could try installing the printer with lpadmin -p BrotherMFC -E -v ipp://192.168.1.66/ipp/print -m everywhere The BrotherMFC is a name I chose, you can use whatever you...

Can you share where you got this info? Websearches for MFC-J497 and linux indicate 32bit compatility drivers need to be installed. Personally, I'm skeptical that PS/PCL is supported. Brothers low end printers tend to be gdi. That said, what I...

I never really explored Scheme.

I'm going to again spam my own page. It's for a different model Brother but should work. https://srobb.net/cliscanprint.html If you're just printing pdfs you can often just use netcat and leave cups out of it. nc 192.168.1.66 9100 < myfile.pdf

Well, when I find a good Linux tutorial it is usually for a distribution that I do not use. E.g. on Arch Linux Wiki while I use Debian. Furthermore, and this is worst on Ubuntu, there are outdated instructions galore. Not that you can tell which...

Stuff like this in my opinion belongs to 'infotainment' area. You get some information, and a lot of eye candy. loveydovey organized it as "PIM" (Personal Info Management) stuff on the left, network in the center, and load on the right. The right...

You are just too lazy to set up a monster conky desktop.

Alain has a point, though. The skill level required for repairs can be much higher on a modern Linux distribution than on FreeBSD. Just for starters you can always blow away all packages and recreate your set without touching the base system. So...

I would suggest doing the install without configuring the wireless interface, and do the configuration afterwards. Much easier to do.

Why not?

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

Any thoughts on the FreeBSD website redesign?

I know this go in some place...

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...

The term desktop is visual-oriented Microsoft culture. A graphical screen showing programs in windows with multitasking is a desktop? FreeBSD only supports it via 3rd-party software. Putting anything about it on the OS frontpage wouldn't make...

How about a mention for Desktop use? While the first 3 points (ZFS, Virtualization, Jails) are nice; I've used FreeBSD without all of those :cool: Under Desktop could be Xorg, Wayland, and XLibre mentions: While other OSs are going for Wayland...

HR doesn't know what FreeBSD is. FreeBSD pros probably know Linux, can apply, and convert systems to FreeBSD :cool:

I am running 3x - 32 bit old Windows games on FreeBSD wine on 15.0 using just pkgs - here's what I have installed: 15.0-RELEASE-p8 wine-devel-allaudio-11.5,1 Microsoft Windows compatibility environment wine-gecko-devel-2.47.4_1 Gecko...

I have no reason to go to the homepage. I have the forum bookmarked and always start from there. However, it does seem muddled - a huge heading and download links before even offering a description of the main features and purpose of the OS -...

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.
