80% of those fonts are unusable. At least for the web I wouldn't use them. Some are pretty good but they've been known for a long time and gotten from the original source.

Yeah, but there are always people that will complain that they need "easy way to install desktop". Look at the Arch linux for example. Its user base has grown significantly since they included installer. Then you have people that used that...

The irony here is that this is a screen from an old ASUS R517SA which is Intel based (N3700) and the Amiga emulator will not show the old classic background that says "Intel Outside" no matter how I try to make it ...... Thanks to Zare for Amiga...

Try to set up JMW for second wm.

In conclusion to this thread, what seem to be the available options to me are to recover via ADB, or solder out the flash storage and try to connect it somewhere and read it. Given that on bootup, you can only the volume and power buttons to do...

Linux distros are going into that direction and they are almost there. For example, Installing Linux Mint is easier than installing Windows 11 which is insane. Its all about ego stroking. And its not happening in linux world only. Just look at...

Indeed. If only there were multiple operating systems available for people to choose from that would suit their abilities. Oh wait.... ;) I do find it quite funny that so many beginners and students immediately gravitate straight to ArchLinux...

What's running in the VM? Maybe it's taking too long to shutdown, then it'll get killed fairly hard after a certain amount of time.

Yeah, that is part of those three lines (add display server). Also a trivial script <https://github.com/alpinelinux/alpine-conf/blob/master/setup-wayland-base.in> Almost one actual line (since devd, cgroups and dbus is already done by this...

You installed XFCE only partially. Install x11-wm/xfce4. Remove, sysutils/hal died a long time ago. Probably don't need this if you have a USB mouse. Doesn't belong in rc.conf, shouldn't use it in loader.conf either. It's a stub to load all...

The DVD image has a selection from that repository too.

No problems here. # vm list NAME DATASTORE LOADER CPU MEMORY VNC AUTO STATE case default bhyveload 4 4096M - Yes [4] Running (3962) jenkins default bhyveload...

Yes, I can see it now. The problem was that I hadn't used this keyboard for a long time and couldn't establish if was charged up. After trying various cables and USB ports on various computers I can see that it is blinking. I'm still in the dark...

balanga, doesn't it have a LED near the USB connector? It should be blinking while it's charging.

Not sure, to be honest. It's based on what I've seen from this machine. It includes storage and RAM speed. I think a real test requires a program that uses all cores separately with unlimited possible load like deep chess analysis. My suspicion...

How do you define and measure "full load"?

How about a screenshot of the ugly fonts on the forum?

A lot of sites are now in the 'just leave it alone" category. That is, they leave the font at "system-ui". We started doing that at my web dev company and it works well because the user is used to what his phone, tablet, or computer's system font...

There is quite a good article on the Register that describes some aspects of how it works. I haven't studied the whole thing in depth...

I would still like to know which pkg these fonts are in. It's not all or nothing. The font requested by the forum is probably very common across the web.

It might be the people that I hang around with, but I hear far more people complaining about the intentionally used fonts in various things being ugly than wrong fonts. It may well be that that's what the OP meant, but if nobody bothers to ask...

Apologies for the slight off-topic: I never quite got the point of the setup-desktop script. For example here: <https://github.com/alpinelinux/alpine-conf/blob/master/setup-desktop.in#L143> Those three lines (add display server, add gnome...

I would daily drive it on some of my older machines if their setup-desktop script included more desktop environments like Cinnamon. I dont like Plasma and Gnome, and everything else has poor 4K support. And that drives me nuts. For now, Alpine is...

Original article here. Consider this when replying. FreeBSD, The FreeBSD Foundation, and The FreeBSD Forums are not associated with the content of this article.

From the klingon rules of coding: "Maybe this is a good day to die, I say we ship it!"

Alpine is possibly the only (non-embedded) Linux I would consider. I wish they would fix the xf86-input-* packages so eudev doesn't need to be sprayed over the filesystem in place of mdev. The boot-hooks are messy. Yeah, a server-capable OS that...

FreeBSD has a more or less standard POSIX/SUS userland. This includes C compiler, make, nfs, etc, so being a full operating system, is not entirely bare bones thankfully but actually quite well thought out and planned (though PkgBase will likely...

balanga, doesn't it have a LED near the USB connector? It should be blinking while it's charging.

Which means it will be fixed in 15.1-RELEASE

I wish they would state clearly that the "UEFI boot loader" line is optional/doesn't apply to every system.

... and slow software down. I usually default to DejaVu. In Firefox, open about:preferences and search for "font" to set the defaults. A corrupted font cache can mess things up. You can run fc-cache -f to fix that.

Other than desktop users, no one needs fancy fonts and they just take up space and need care.

Please explain what a FULL usb cable is and how I identify one.

What kind of device are we talking about? Doesn't the device itself show when it's being charged? Phones all have a battery icon with a special lightning bolt. Same for portable media players. Many earbud cases have a button to check the status...

We all know such places, don't we? I just ordered some of the coffee mugs, leaving them in the office kitchen and waiting for feedback... Edit: Missing (c): Shit & Sticks Solutions: (c) by Moris Snake

I hate when people describe fonts as ugly. Ugly is subjective. Are they ugly, but the correct fonts? Or are they the wrong fonts? And do the fonts look roughly the same on other browsers or is it just Firefox? If you override the font in the...

It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem, you need a certain amount of active users in order to get the necessary apps that people actually need for something other than iOS or Android. But, if you don't have those apps it can be hard to get...

How did you install those fonts?

Depends, if it's a USB power cable, no, because there's no data connected. Also some devices might have a charging only option, even if you used a "full" USB cable there's still no data connection between the host and the device.

No, if it is just charging it would not show up in usbconfig. You should buy a USB powermeter. Very handy and they also answer questions like this one.

If charging a device via a USB port, is there any indication that charging is taking place? Should the device show up under lsusb/usbconfig ?

If the unit works fine in Linux but not FreeBSD the first thing to check is whether Linux has applied any USB quirks that FreeBSD did not. Linux has a much larger base of quirks than FreeBSD. Could you post `dmesg` from when you connect the...
