What does this command output ? hwloc-ls Wine use hwloc to parse the cpu configuration

FYI: 595.80 and 610.43.02 just landed on latest branch of ports tree as commit ports e94bcef6b11d and commit ports fd3541282146 respectively.

Another thing to mention from drivers side would be that required libraries are correctly installed or not. x11/nvidia-driver would want graphics/libglvnd x11/libXext x11/libX11 graphics/egl-x11 graphics/egl-wayland2 graphics/egl-wayland...

I wanted something lightweight using either blink or gecko and maintained. That KDE does it, is OK, as long as it does not drop X11 support.

Of course it is worth learning, the question is whether there is something more worth your learning time. If you already know one non-GUI editor well enough then I would say it is more important to learn -say- /bin/sh really well.

In situations like these you can always "go to the source", aka the man command itself. Try this: man -K hostcache. Will take longer, but it'll also find what you need. I don't have an explanation just yet, but whenever a search fails I always...

Hi, On a 14.3-RELEASE FreeBSD when I type apropos hostcache.list or whatis hostcache.list I get nothing appropriate and when I run man tcp | grep "hostcache.list" I get no result. When I open the man page with man tcp as search for...

Can / would you elaborate on this a little more? Because it seems you hit a nerve and now I'm very curious about this ;) (edit) To also stay a little bit ontopic here... I'm still using vi on almost a daily basis; and not just the editor...

Is Vi worth learning in 2000? Yes Is Vi worth learning in spaceyear 2083? Yes I think having threads like this is a good statement that decent software is timeless. Better still is that the alternatives often cited in these kinds of thread are...

It's 2026 now. Time to close this thread?

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.

Each to their own, but I find vi quite efficient for the things it does. Not to mention that I think your comment is a little funny, because it makes me recall WordPerfect 5.1; that was also fully focused on keyboard shortcuts and sure enough...

I still think the problem is more with the X11 server than with the kmod. As another datapoint, even though the X11 server is up and running `nvidia-smi` does not report it as a process on the GPU.

MG your statement is both exaggeration while also pointing to the advantage of vi and why all professionals know and use it.

I found it amusing when the Reddit Moderator Guy tried to put in a PR to change the FreeBSD shell default editor to easy-editor from vi. I long ago learned a saying. Respect your elders. It's like people moving into the country and demand they...

The kmod pkgs were from pkg. I just recompiled them from ports but no change. It's latest pkg/ports. I'll try 612, but as I said, the old packages do work on the other install: linux-nvidia-libs-595.71.05 nvidia-driver-595.71.05...

No doubt about it, but it's only an editor. I use it when there's nothing else. Last option because I prefer to see what I do immediately and the technical limitations that could make that a problem were common 40 years ago. If I was stuck with a...

I have a i5-8400H with Hyperthreading disabled in BIOS; OS and lscpu report 4 cores, dmesg reports 4, and htop/GUI task managers have 4 cores. World of Warcraft reports differently though in cpu.log (reports the same native Win10 and Wine...

And less hand movement while it's at it.

I was lying to you. The working install had a xorg.conf fragment: Section "Device" Identifier "NVIDIA Card" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" Driver "nvidia" EndSection However, no I get glx accelerated, but still no...

This 16-current installation doesn't like to start the X11 server with direct rendering, I get VESA instead. The same hardware with a different install does NVidia-drm just fine. Both FreeBSD installs have: linux-nvidia-libs nvidia-driver...

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...

Back in the day when tcp/ip was uncommon, I used to carry around a program called "cpt" (copy-tree) for my contracting jobs as cp wasn't quite flexible enough. It also behaved differently based on the name it was called with; e.g. copy, move...

That's kind of the point. If you have curses, you don't need an editor with hidden states and 300 documented keyboard sequences to edit a line of text. I know better things to remember. The idea of vi in UNIX systems is to provide an editor that...

It's a matter of who is doing the work. The string functions in libc get SIMD enhancements paid for by the FreeBSD foundation so that they can catch up to Linux. What other libraries do you have in mind?

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...
