Heh, I always did ls /usr/share/vt/fonts. Thanks for the vidfont tip.

(Turn-Key GUI) Linux switches pretty early to a high-resolution screen with nice looking high-resolution fonts, so on a small screen they appear tiny. Since FreeBSD in contrary stays by default on TTY (no graphics kernel module ["driver"] loaded...

I could not care less.

I am also on latest for packages, and I don't have this problem. I have found that when I have issues with Nvidia, they've almost always been fixed by me first updating ports to latest, then using ports and building nvidia-drm-kmod from ports...

I believe you have to subscribe to be able to search ports. But even if you don't, if you do a web search like xorg-server site:freshports.org you would then see a commit history, which often shows what was done (and gives links to the commits, I...

don't worry he's just ragebaiting :)

What's the use of the site anyway? You can read a description of a new port and download the port files? I don't see options to follow the development of a port or a single file. That would be useful.

You're making it political. Is that what you want? This isn't the place. I'm sure that many here would love to attempt to explain it to you, and many others would love to tell you why you're right, but this isn't the place. I say that as one...

They're a pig to desolder too! It can be done of course, if you've got the right tools. But it's getting more difficult to DIY. I dare say an organisation like the CIA has an electronics workshop buried away somewhere that could do that kind...

BGA is quite common these days. No way you're going to "clip" anything onto that 😁

Are you hellbent on the DRM driver? Or doesn't matter, as long as it works? You could try the 'traditional' NVidia driver instead (nvidia-modeset and Driver "nvidia" for Xorg. Not through packages, unless you still have that older version...

https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-EN-25:18.freebsd-update.asc Make sure you have, at least, 13.5-RELEASE-p5 before making the jump to 15.0-RELEASE to avoid this issue.

As T-Aoki points out, also in 15.1-RCs (and 15-STABLE)

I think it symbolizes their flag: yellow and blue.

Yes and considering the crimes against humanity currently being committed against non-binary people in US prisons in terms of "medical experimentation", it's not really the best look for people to be complaining about a little bit of color at the...

Subtle.. A nod to Pride month June 2026 I would imagine .. Good on that man, but my god how easy is it too trigger a certain <demographic>

Plasma isn't exactly targeted towards low-end hardware, but is not so much memory hungry; seeing that ZFS is used, it surely has a role here. This is top output from my actual session (sorted by resident memory): last pid: 32892; load averages...

I upgraded the nvidia modules from ...-580.142 to ...-580.159.04 Is there an option to go back to the old versions?

I did too, though it was on a VM, not a workstation. I tend to wait for releases to upgrade on my important machines.

Don't need to load these (don't need to mount them in /etc/fstab either). Just put linux_enable="YES" in rc.conf, it will get automagically done. Not related to your issue though.

There are various font sizes available. It generally does a good job picking the right size, but it's certainly not perfect for every situation. % ll /usr/share/vt/fonts/ total 256 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 1798 Dec 25 11:59 INDEX.fonts...

Oh--now that you mention it I see it. A little rainbow thingie on the sides by the search area. Each of us are different of course, but that isn't something that would irk me enough to try to remove it. I never even noticed it before you...

There almost always is. Even now, there's a clear explanation of upgrading to 15.1-RC-whatever in the announcements for the RC candidates. https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-stable/2026-May/004119.html (search for Upgrading on the page...

What does sysrc kld_list show?

I've really only used uBlock in it's default mode. This now has me going through the more detailed documentation on what I can do with it. Thanks! It is the colored bars on each side of at the top of the search results. It is set as a...

If you're also distracted by the rainbow flag in the background on the FreshPorts webpage you can remove it with this custom filter for the uBlock Origin browser extension. www.freshports.org##html:remove-class(holiday)

The PMBR has a "fake" MBR partition table for some limited compatibility. So tools that can only handle MBR partitioning don't mess things up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table#Protective_MBR_(LBA_0) But UEFI boot completely...

As I said, I just used firefox to connect to the local webUI of SELKS (cirrus). Yesterday, I checked anew this behaviour and saw the same. Note that it seems different with the latest version of firefox (not esr) on FreeBSD. I didn't see the same...

The efi partition is FAT32. UEFI boot doesn't use the master boot record. The (P)MBR is for CSM/BIOS boot.

I've never heard of EDL mode but may find out something about it from View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRkR5higEeo

EDL mode boots before the phone OS (phone apps/activation/bootloader status shouldn't matter) I haven't tried dumping userdata, but dumped modem partitions (seems same would work with a partition name change)

EDL mode boots before the phone OS (phone apps/activation/bootloader status shouldn't matter) I haven't tried dumping userdata, but dumped modem partitions (seems same would work with a partition name change)

I don't see any way to dump the userdata partition since none of the apps on the phone can be activated AFAICS.

Qualcomm SoC devices have a USB debugging mode (EDL) that allow low-level flashing and partition management (something like Odin/Hemidall for Samsung) When a device is booted to EDL mode, on a PC it'll let you do stuff like formatting and...

Not sure what ADP is, but has anyone successfully used it to boot another system? How difficult is it to solder out flash storage and then read it?

What does any of that mean?

Actually your link points to a rather good book, that is not actually about Rust! The original 'In Rust we trust' paper is here https://research.cs.queensu.ca/home/cordy/Papers/ICSE22-InRustWeTrust.pdf ... and Tess Marshall's book about...

General Dota 2 question, but can auto-courier buying be disabled yet and persist across sessions? 7.39 added courier auto-buying/delivering stuff which broke how I buy Octraine Core (I park it and buy the 1.7k piece first but auto wants to buy...

KeePassXC :cool: VLC's cool too! It's a fun gamble off-Windows if I'll be able to record an entire display or window :p Edit: The secret on openSUSE is PackMan for H.264 and xdg-desktop-portal-gnome :cool:

CIA probably has easier methods, but I'd dump partitions with EDL if it's a Qualcomm model then go from there (userdata's likely ext4 encrypted)

Any good configurator to set the font size of Qt programs to be able to read it? I would nominate that for sure. It should be just a command: /usr/local/bin/qt_raise_current_font_size. It can have immediate effect.

I'd bet I could but you won't pay me enough to do it

If you never have the device actually decrypt the filesystem while you are watching you need more than a logic analyzer.

I had a secret tool in 1990. It's called a "logic analyzer". I'd clamp it onto a 68000 processor and see all the signals going into and out of it. It also decoded it and I could see the code it was running. These things are nothing new and I'm...
