You need to drop root after the cpuset system call. As you say, it is probably quickest to write a little C program.

Found the problem: Had to deinstall py311-setuptools_scm7-7.1.0 because it covers files that don't comply with this qemu version. It expects a 9.* version. This was 5 build errors deep. I have no idea what the port does. It now does something...

The portstree can temporarily lose track of dependencies? That would conclude that I have to keep on updating it and wait until a moment where a 10-hour build finished without problems. That's not fair. 😫 I thought I solved it but it happens...

Your remark is valid since cpuset can spawn root processes. Possibly I need to write setuid tool that will do just what I want.

What are your autoexec.bat contents then? :)

Anyone with my account is me.

Could you list the output of ls -la /dev/dri/card*? I believe there is card0, which points to GPU 0, and card1, which points to GPU 1. Try swapping them so that card0 → 1 and card1 → 0.I used this trick yesterday to get Wayland running on the...

DoctorRainer As others said before: The problem is the RX 9070. It is to new. Have a look at https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/amd-gpu-support-matrix.102822/. As you find out, your iGPU works. I have the successor AMD 9700X running only with...

making it setuid means that it runs the resultant processes as root. bad idea. anyone with your account could escalate to root by doing cpuset sh.

The old family shared PC concept is such a cozy idea. The user-centric software, the cheesy mouse themes, the fun little icons, the rich wooden desk and CD trays. There is something there that computing lost along the way. I just can't quite...

But if you're going to use Windows on your home computer, then you are going to have to learn how to do a complete reinstallation of the operating system at least once a week. At least, that is the way it was during the mid 1990s. 🤣 Here is...

I have scenarios where I have to run cpuset to free certain core(s) and then schedule a process to run there. As someone that doesn't use sudo or doas, intentionally not having auto-escalation abilities for the wheel user, I had been pondering...

As a workaround for the lack of native support at the moment, and the manual setup/management required was annoying me, I've knocked up a shell script to manage Claude Code running under Linuxulator, tested on arm64 and aarch64 (under QEMU, not...

It is reasonably well maintained now. 51 commits in the past year.

Lets hope they keep it up. Unfortunately large compat layers do need the work.

Today I committed BunkerWeb to the FreeBSD Ports Collection. https://github.com/bunkerity/bunkerweb BunkerWeb is an open-source web application firewall (WAF) and security platform with a web UI. I've tested the port extensively, but one...

The closest clone to acme is edwood. It is cross platform and can be compiled to avoid p9p entirely. But being in Go it is about 10 times larger than acme. There are other clones but I stick to acme! Plus I find most commands in p9p useful.

plan9port is a compat layer as mentioned. Its considerable just to maintain a text editor. It is similar to how git on Windows requires an entire POSIX compat later (cygwin-based msys2). This is not an ideal approach to porting software. The...

Why? Acme in plan9port is working. No emulation.

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...

Thanks T-Daemon. Kick-ass answer. I searched around a bit but could not find the answer: you wouldn't happen to know if you can tell makewhatis to index macros other than Nm and Nd?

The makewhatis database searched by apropos (whatis) contains only the "NAME" section from each manual page, not the full page (see bold highlighted) : TCP(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual TCP(4) NAME tcp...

It could use su instead. But this would require a user account in the wheel group. So either way you're going to need to prepare the images in order for it to work.

Or man wheel; it will also work since this man page is hard-linked (see ln) to wheel.7.

And merged into stable/15 at May 02, 2026 and into releng/15.1 at May 28, 2026 respectively. So upcoming 15.1-RELEASE should have it. And for newbies: Simple man groups would show you groups man page (category 1), not groups man page (category...

It has also made it into upcoming 15.1: groups.7: New manual page of standard group names

The groups(7) man page was added in FreeBSD 16.0.

This seems to be fixed on 16.0-CURRENT only, for the time being. At the time of this writing "LinuxKPI: 802.11 suspend/resume: fix the is_pci_dev check" has not landed on 15.1-STABLE (aka stable/15) has not landed on 15.1-RC2 (aka releng/15.1)...

Indeed, you basically need to either emulate Plan 9 in a VM (incl Inferno) or you need to bring in an entire compat layer just for a ~1MB program. There used to be an Acme clone called wily in ports but it rotted slightly. However there is a...

This is sticky worthy. Good job.

MG you are trying to compare vi with graphical editors as if they both have the same goals and capabilities. Graphical editors fall down with the needs of there's where vi shines and runs rings around it. If I'm editing a document for publication...

I'm pretty sure because teletype machines and other line printers didn't have anything but caps. I used the ADM back in the day but I don't recall if the screen was all caps or not.

The two main reasons to learn to use vi is that it's pretty much guaranteed that any UNIXy system you sit down at will have vi or a clone and 2 that once you get to know how to do a bit with it, it is incredibly efficient in what you can do with...
