Vi and Vim use curses. Its ed (or ex) that you would likely need to be using for your ancient 80x25 hardware terminal. The main use-case for efficient curses editors like Vi is via serial/tty (still common for servers). The baud rate is often...

All of which is why I still favor MBR and non-encrypted disks.

I only used rsync a few times thinking it'd be useful for NAS restores; plain cp is still fine :D Regardless of AI, I don't like the idea of rewriting stuff to Python nor would I imagine doing serious file management involving Python. There...

https://old.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/1tqvkxz/rsync_343_might_break_incremental_backups_for_you/ Here comes the AI slop into core system utilities. Further reason why I want bullshit parrots nowhere near any critical software.

In the physical world of math you do "Proof of Work". That seems to be missing with AI. It blurts stuff out but doesn't check its own work.

blackbird9 doesn't your vi or vim (both in my case) work with caps lock? I have found you have to turn it off if entering commands--for example if I do a movement command and caplocks is on, it does unexpected stuff.

It seems to be possible to limit the Desktop Environment to the Performance Cores and leave the Efficency cores to background jobs. from initial VT terminal before starting the desktop. # cpuset -l...

You need to 'splain yourself blackbird9

I'm not too sure about that tunable, but I use dev.hwpstate_intel.0.epp="0" and it sets all cores

TBF, you're not really wrong about needing : to enter a mode where you can exit the software. IIRC, some more modern forks and recreations of vi do default to showing a screen with some information about things like that.

The ESC is used to exit out of things. So you when you're in append or insert mode you need ESC to get out of that. Likewise if you've typed : to enter in a command, you need some other method of exiting out that doesn't involve either an enter...

This right here helped me. There IS one there, and I was able to modify this line in the default script: : ${tailscaled_tun_dev:="tailscale0"} and change it to this: : ${tailscaled_tun_dev:="userspace-networking"} I deleted the ones I wrote...

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...

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.

Another factor to consider is the graphics format of any illustrations you intend to put in the poster. I recently generated patent drawings from FreeCAD and put in the arrows and Labeled the figures in inkscape. This kept everything in *.svg...

Overrunning the amount of swapspace available is an entirely different problem than hanging during normal (non-depletion) swap usage.

Crashed again with aesni disabled. So I think it's safe to say this is not caused by some kind of virtual crypto offload.

Just had another crash, so cryptodev doesn't seem to be the culprit. I'll try again with aesni disabled.

Does anyone know good pointers to read about creating configuration files using LLM? How about creating FreeBSD configuration files (or any application configuration files)? Simple tests show that at least sometimes instructions given to the LLM...

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...

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.

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.

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