Chip design from the bottom up – Reiner Pope View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIk3R-sMX5o

I believe you were disappointed when you realized the pages are all wrong: the left‑hand page is printed on the right and vice versa (see page numbers which are usually located at the outside margin). I mean, yes, the book “works” regardless...

Original article here. Consider this when replying. The first release candidate 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...

Coreboot and Intel already have FSP :p

Hi gang! I "did" something this evening: Note: I am well aware that plenty of you guys may not necessarily appreciate this, and I really (!) get that. But you cannot deny the fact that "the power to serve" was heavily tested here, and.. it...

This setup allows me to write Python code in pretty much the same way as I do on Windows. Click 'start', open VS Code... and get to work. Almost literally no differences. Even when I open Konsole.. I set if up so that I get PowerShell (which...

What are you trying to push?

Hi gang, Trust me: I get it, I really, really do, but at the same time I am getting frustrated each and every time I visit this forum (NO (!!) offense). I see what you do, being a sysadmin myself I also see why (!!) you do so (even more...

So, double post, because... You don't use Git to install ports. Thing is, I can see the confusion here. I think.. I also no care. @OP... GIT is a source control mechanism which allows you to maintain your ports collection. The collection...

Sorry to be blunt here, but: update what? The ports collection? I do that all the time, because it helps me to remind myself to keep my base OS up to date. Care to share the exact manualpage? After you use the command you should see the name...

In a job interview the HR manager asks the candidate about his marital status. "Not married", answers the candidate. "Sorry", says the manager, "but we only employ people used to knuckle under."

So... I'm one of those guys who bought into the first Windows phone. I am also one of nerds who not only actually read the licenses (be honest: did you ever do this? Because I have my doubts). Thing is => I also consulted a close friend of...

It's still somehow relevant. I have a PC that I boot without a monitor. If it beeps with the speaker it's gone through POST succesfully and tries to find the boot device. If it can't boot because of broken memory or whatever, it doesn't beep...

You can't do anything without a massive engine that enforces a graphical UI that you can't exit from. This is why I don't use Windows. It's a commercial prison made of only software. Everything you see could be a single program.

Blasphemy !!

This setup allows me to write Python code in pretty much the same way as I do on Windows. Click 'start', open VS Code... and get to work. Almost literally no differences. Even when I open Konsole.. I set if up so that I get PowerShell (which...

Maybe explain some details like what is it and what does it?

Never noticed. It's an old syscons annoyance. Disabling the speaker entirely would be better but I've never seen a command for that. Maybe a problem because it's a stone-age device.

While trying to build Qemu 11.0 on a custtom FreeBSD 15.0 system wit X.org, I'm entering a dependency maze of python311-based ports.. Several of these: py-setuptools-scm py-pip py-fur py-furo py-accessible-pygments py-hatch-vcs...

What ipfw can do that pf can't: 1) MAC level filtering 2) procedural control (branching etc) 3) dummynet stuff What pf can do that ipfw can't: 1) OS fingerprinting 2) automated overload (quarantine brute-force or DOS attacks) 3) packet scrubbing...

Old computers? C64 the old breadbox model C64c the 'new' model SX-64 "portable" C64 C128D ZX Spectrum Amiga 500 + 590 (20MB HD + 2 MB memory) Amiga 1200 Amiga 4000 (Merlin RTG; 8 MB memory; 1 GB HD) Apple ][gs I think that's it.

Are you looking for gptzfsboot?

I had the FreeBSD 15 handbook printed from lulu.com. To the people that have worked on this very useful and valuable operation system, the documentation writers, the people answering questions in the FreeBSD forums and the wallpaper designers...

Thanks for coming back and posting the solution that worked for you.

Eventually (after an upgrade of the amdgpu_green_sardine firmware files) the system kept freezing every few days. No monitor output, no keyboard input, no ssh access, although the system did respond to ping. Anyway, long story short, after...

You should use the 15 branch. I had the same problem. The system freezes after some time on 14.x-RELEASE on a AMD 5700U GPU Lucienne, with drm-kmod "graphics/drm-515|61-kmod" graphics/gpu-firmware-amd-kmod installed, specifically...

Dig deeper :)

Sorry, I got the version wrong. I have the release version

15-CURRENT doesn't exist anymore. It's been released, 15.0-RELEASE. And 15.1-RELEASE will be out soon.

MariaDB's cooler :cool: Does Solaris have prebuilds of it?

That sort of thing is also often times legally required. The pop ups when hovering over menu items commonly tie into screen readers for low vision users.

Found canary links: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/releases/tag/canary This says the rewrite's already done on Canary: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/pull/30412 I'm using 1.4.0 now for a game server/client and it's fine no difference from 1.3.14 :D

Wild West time: Terrible Joe enters the saloon. A beautiful lady and two men are sitting at a table. Joe pulls out a gun and kills both men, approaches the lady and asks: "Why is the beautiful lady sitting alone?"

Sure. But men seldom recognize her glance when they look at a woman's ass.

Solaris 2 was terrible when it came out, no?

I have 20 CRT displays. 5 of them are VGA computer monitors. The others are televisions ranging from 5"-21". I think the oldest chip I have is an AMD chip from the late 90s. I've got bunches of graphic accelerators, predating the term GPU. But...

I don't think anyone has had a strong enough opinion to put the work into it.\ Juxtaposed to this discussion, if people here do want a default DE, roll up your sleeves, get to work and present some code to implement your DE of choice. So far...

This is exactly what majority of people fail to understand. Even among experienced users. People have cult like personalities and they bash and insult everyone that doesnt use the same OS as they do. This is not a competition. I never understood...

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...

Airprint is not PostScript or HP Printer command language. My understanding is it is a standard that produces a rasterized image of your print job. Printers just need enough smarts to deposit the ink as per the standard image. If you look at...
