As the support for AMD GPUs in FreeBSD is confusing (well in general), here is an handy table for theoretical support as constructed from Linux Kernel LTS release documentation. Please remember that: Only FreeBSD 15.1/16 support DRM 6.12 (more...

There are 105 reasons to learn and use vi. 106!

graphics/drm-kmod pulls on latest branch: graphics/drm-612-kmod for main (aka CURRENT), stable/15 and upcoming 15.1 graphics/drm-66-kmod for 15.0 graphics/drm-61-kmod for other supported branches while on quarterly (2026Q2)...

Do you have a better reference for this than the dung heap that is reddit?

Hello everyone! I'm new here. Good news: I'm currently porting FreeBSD 14.3 to a NanoPC-T6 (RK3588), so the situation should be similar for the Orange Pi 5 Max. Here's the latest status of my current private branch (incomplete): U-Boot and...

That's an 8 year old bug against Linux, not FreeBSD.

I just made an experiment. I gave Claude.AI a tar archive with 4 files and asked: It offered me the file to download, and since it embedded the content of my files in it, I asked again: Then I got a "poster" that did what I asked, its aspect...

That is not true. It is a very elegant programming language. To make a file printable is a raster format or perhaps PCL or its derivative pdf.

I would never use any Unix system that didn't have vi on it. It's a bare minimum and necessary editor that everyone I know, from my company hires to SGI and Pixar and more, uses on a daily basis for dealing with system related things.

People will be saying the same in spaceyear 3049. It will still outlive whatever text editor is called "modern" today. I can even see this thread outliving a lot of today's text editors.

I have drm-kmod which still seems to pull in drm-66-kmod.

For the record - there are more people today making stone tips for arrows than there were in the actual stone age. Be careful about what is obsolete or will be on the decline, no matter what it is.

Fortunately there's no realistic situation that actually requires it except people working on a 80x25 hardware terminal. Anything with curses can do better.

One of the founders of AI in the USSR was Alexander Kronrod -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Kronrod I have one of his books, written in 1964 and published only in 2004.

it seems inherited from blink / chrome.

What about a noob guide? There are no specific local requirements beyond computing power and storage, so it can be 1 independent universal application like a port.

Hey guys, here's a quick howto run AGS on an emulator from ports. The Amiga Game Selector is a huge library of Amiga games, programs and demos constructed to work out of the box on many types of systems - original hardware, FPGA implementations...

I just started, visited a page, and left. But I can say: I do not have 1 TB.

fwiw pointless and bloviating genericity is, like, the name of the LLM game

It's for 80's serial ANSI terminals. Learn obsoleted skills.

My ZFS upgrade was suspicious. Enabled the following features on 'seagates': redaction_list_spill raidz_expansion fast_dedup longname large_microzap block_cloning_endian physical_rewrite The ZFS system is on to something, it appears.

Really thank you! Since some packages and meta-packages where missing I tought there was the need to wait.

You can find out with ldd(1): % ldd /usr/local/lib/firefox/libxul.so | grep gtk libgtk-3.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libgtk-3.so.0 (0x1414e8200000) Just need to find the "main" binary or so file to query.

there is a meager browser developed by KDE called "falkon" that uses blink, the web-engine of chrome. I do not know how secure it is ...

Google became in a synonym of intrusion, the fame of this company is irreparable, but in spite of it makes good business.

I really hope the calculators were correct. I left everything slightly long so I can trim my first J-Pole antenna for 156.800Mhz. Hopefully it gets 162.550 too. 5/16" Aluminum Roundstock with a Delrin mount/stiffner. Two #8-32 S/S screws. Heated...

I will sheepishly admit OpenWRT forced me to learn vi. It doesn't hurt as bad now. Not including nano in base OpenWRT was the slap in the head I needed.

Hey folks. I just managed to create a port for talosctl. It's a bit of a niche thing for managing Talos Linux clusters. Talos is a specialty Linux distribution aimed squarely at running Kubernetes in a very lean-and-mean 100% API-driven...

From the freshports dependency list it seems to use gtk3.

After some tinkering around, a simple pkg upgrade -f fixed the Plasma Wayland issue for me (Intel GPU).

I do my letterhead and business cards in Postscript directly. I also generated Postscript from a table-making C program.

Encapsulate all data traffic to the Internet through a local proxy application like Squid to log every Internet access and read the logs with the SARG application, so you can see the data consumption in detail.

STABLE versions are supported on this forum. It's the CURRENT and EOL ones that aren't.

Man, I gotta read better when I'm trying to be helpful. Sorry. 😏

Agreed. Below is a script I use to add a swap, should I need it, to a zpool. This is typically used on machines with internal SSDs, where I put swap on an external device or spinning disk to avoid unnecessary writes to SSD. #!/bin/sh - # -b...

One thing I saw with firefox, it's in a SELKS dedicated machine that watch my network. The configuration is such that SELKS log also its own packets. When I used firefox (esr IIRC) in the SELKS machine itself (it's installed by default) to...

It is not so bad, much easier than programming an old HP calculator. Filling squares with images and eps text from tex and dvips -E is a simple task.

I absolutely love FreeBSD and i still feel the same way. The forum is really helpful, so i am definitely thankful for this place. You have also helped me early on, so i still remember your advice. And you continue to offer advice, which i also...

Good for you. People are paying with increased energy costs, noise, pollution, hardware costs, ... Our children and grandchildren will pay for this with more global warming, storms, forced migration, ... It is not so much the AI slop that is...

One could do it also by coding directly in postscript, perhaps with little AI help. I am coming to the conclusion that that is the best solution if one does not like bloat.

It's not that bad, I've done it a couple of times now. It was for PuppetDB though, but that shouldn't really matter. One thing I can recommend, upgrade to a newer PostgreSQL before the old version disappears from the ports tree (and there are...
