There is a myriad of human and technical solutions to this but it requires a lot of context to pick the right combination. The first question to ask, is how one gets to be an impactful rogue maintainer. We've seen examples of rogue hustling out...

The kernel can't do only memory safe operations by definition. That's why we separated the kernel from userland. The two serious attempts at a Rust OS are Redux and Asterinas. And at least one of them tries to separate the kernel in two: part...

My thoughts exactly. Where I come from is scientific background, but I've turned to a rational type of open mind where unforeseen phenomena must be rejected by science, and it can, and in all honesty will remain unsolved. Our method disproves...

Corroded? 😅 Are you talking about Rust dependency bloat? I think python is worse. Let's install 100 deps of 100K each with their own version requirements amd conflicts.... I'm no Rust user but too many things need it, unfortunately.

Arch User Repository. It's Arch Linux packages

What has happened to Arch linux? And this should be in the offtopic category.

AUR?

Stopped reading here.

I always googling with -linux, is that serious, doctor? 🙄

Hello All, I first heard about Freebsd in the late nineties from a friend in my OS/2 User Group. Had some trials and success installing and using Freebsd since. The last iteration was text only VM Freebsd in a Macbook to keep my small business...

I just did this: https://github.com/Sonic-DE/sonic-login-manager Still need to figure out why the restart, shutdown, etc buttons don't work but Wayland and systemd are no longer hard dependencies on this fork. There's a video showing it working...

Thanks. That gave me a laugh. I'm not getting much sleep as the Knicks won and the noise in the streets is err, somewhat distracting.

If "BD-writer" stands for Blu-ray disc sysutils/xorriso I think will support it. I use xorriso on SATA3 drives - no personal experience with USB drives. I've not tested in FreeBSD but in OpenBSD it seems to have some permissions problems with...

As I said earlier, if the web page does not specify a font name then the browser will use the system font or font specified in the user's browser settings. This is ideal in a lot of settings and becoming popular among some web sites but marketing...

Seems I spoke too soon. I went right from RC-3 to 15.1 so I don't know how much is part of that. Anyway, it installed a bunch of Xlibre Nvidia stuff--I don't have nvidia on this laptop and I don't want Xlibre anything. Also alacritty stopped...

Other hypervisors suspend the guests when the host shuts down. That has more chance of succeeding in a given timeframe. It is like SIGINT vs SIGSTOP. Shutdown can execute arbitrary commands and can take arbitrary time. Suspend is almost like...

Actually as I was rather bored tonight. I updated the laptop. First created a Boot Environment of the working system. Then, as I said before, I'd updated it to pkgbase, so I used the pkgbase instructions to upgrade to RC3. Then from RC3, I just...

When your other gamepads work fine with SDL2/3 and your ShanWan works with SDL2, I assume there isn't any problem related to FreeBSD itself (recognition, correct user permissions, etc...). It might be a regression in SDL3. It's probably a good...

Wait until the official announcement. Why are you in such a hurry?

I had one laptop that was using freebsd-update rather than pkg base. I attempted an upgrade, trying to do what I did on a vm, go to rc3 then to release, but after the upgrade it kept going back to the boot menu. So, as I had the time, used the...

Chances are that it will work.

It might be more straightforward to make MIDI knobs work.

It's really important. 😎 Anybody managed to fetch all the lang/rust dependencies on 15.1 with the RELEASE portstree?

I had never even come across tethering USB 8 years ago.

what about a devd.conf /usr/local/etc/devd.conf this is what i use for my keyboard i guess you could do the same thing to run dhclient ue0 https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?devd.conf...

Is there any way to automate running dhclient ue0 when connecting a phone to a computer and enabling tethering USB?

Ok, upgraded to 15.1-RELEASE, upgraded all packages too, and now SDDM doesn't want to start the Wayland session; BUT it works flawlessly from command line with the same command used by SDDM: /usr/local/share/sddm/scripts/wayland-session...

Building 15.1 from anonymous ftp freebsd.org I had to disable VIA padlock RNG in RC2. No idea what that is. See it if compiles now.

No, you read bit wrong, these were no straight lines. I don't care about straight lines, the air traffic exists in the area. Imagine raising a big drone with bright light to airliner altitude and then doing a circle of lets say 500m radius. The...

drhowarddrfine official release isn't till the 16th, or at least planned for then. What I think @fjdir did was upgrade to RC's, then if you ran pkg upgrade on the RC, you wound up with 15.1-RELEASE. I have a vm I've been updating to RC's and...

None of these points are novel. None pose an immediate threat, it is mostly "mitigations and defensive programming could be better".

Hello, I’m running the latest Firefox pkg on FreeBSD 14.4-RELEASE and I was wondering about GPU acceleration. I’m using an AMD Ryzen 7 7840U CPU with Radeon 780M Graphics. X11 and XFCE4 as desktop GUI. Here is a part of Firefox’s about:support...

Having access tp all bytes because it's your computer isn't "memory unsafe" but a functionality. It's called RAM for a reason. Root can overwrite the kernel runtime code and crash the machine. It's a normal thing.

Since this is related to the use of KDE with Wayland (I don't recall this problem with the X session), I'm leaving it here just in case someone else is bugged by this: To better match GTK decoration buttons with KDE ones when using CSD (client...

CShell I don't think so, so let's not go there.

I believe it too stupid. Rust should be stabilized that assures 100% backward compatibilities first, and defaulting to CDYLIB instead of current binding-unfriendly defaults. Everything should start from there. Not earlier. Presumablly...

Kernel panic page fault trap 14 I don't see this on the official release page yet.

To show an example of how AI can't be trusted: Most major OS kernels are written primarily in C: Linux, the BSDs (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD), Windows NT kernel (C with some C++), XNU (Darwin/macOS, a mix of C and C++)
