-j ⟨jail name or id⟩, --jail ⟨jail name or id⟩ pkg will execute in the given ⟨jail name or id⟩, where name matches “jls name” and id matches “jls jid”. See jail(8) and jls(8). -c ⟨chroot path⟩...

If I remember correctly this should work on FreeBSD too. But I have a TKL keyboard, so cannot test it. You must type the digits on the numpad.

Never L1 though (required for 4K content).

NapoleonWils0n Is that SD only content? EDIT: Answering my own question, the video states 1080p content. Thanks.

I admit to not being up to date on the drm-kmod stuff but I changed it to graphics/drm-latest-kmod with the same result.

While many people certainly dumped their configs there, /usr/local/X11/xorg.conf worked just fine. Think I stopped using /etc/X11 during the XFree86 days, a very long time ago. X will simply search /etc/X11/ and /usr/local/etc/X11/ for its...

"Debugging symbols" can mean two things: The names of functions associated with their locations The source code in debugging format Heaptrack prints backtraces, which only requires the former. The catch is that some functions might be...

Current LLMs do not have enough context window to absorb all the kernel a once. That's holding back fully automated security hole finding. They are working on tricks to extend the context window to repository scale: https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.13392

Thanks for correcting.

The old-school (monolithic config) place is /etc/X11/, and current majority (fine-grained configs) is, precisely, /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. And /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ would be searched for system-wide defaults. Note that...

This I did not know and it's disappointing.

No, nvidia-xconfig is not mandatory since forever, and no package should have its files in system prefix, the location is /usr/local/etc/X11 Absolute beginner error. Do not do that. This is not Linux. Do not search for random FreeBSD sources...

Content delivery network doesn't need to watch the streams, just shovel bits from one end to another. It can do that without having to decode the stream. Netflix, like pretty much every other popular streaming service, uses Widevine DRM. Google...

jails let you use the wayland or the x11 socket so the application is displayed on the hosts screen and use the gpu. bhyve doesnt let you use the wayland or x11 socket the same way, and you have to use a vnc connection instead which isnt as...

More proof for reason #9371 to never, EVER visit reddit for anything.

mkdir /var/db/freebsd-update You probably nuked that directory at some point in time. The directory MUST exist. When upgrading with freebsd-update disable anything that's not strictly necessary, like the DRM drivers (you do not need X/Wayland to...

More precisely: s/string/line/ At least for awk/sed/grep which work on a per-line basis by default. So ^\/example$ would match a line that *only* contains /example and nothing else (not even spaces before/after) If you find yourself bashing (a...

Which debug symbols are you looking for? Packages are generally built with their debug symbols stripped off.

304 could certainly be removed, that's been entirely broken for a really long time. 390 still works, somewhat, 2D is fine, 3D is not. Don't have anything to test with the 340 version.

There are a lot of confusions 1) FreeBSD kernel module ext2fs Since FreeBSD 12, FreeBSD is "theoretically" able to mount in RW ext2, ext3, ext4 using the kernel module ext2fs which is a generic module for all ext class filesystems. It is true...

More recently, ext2fs that comes in FreeBSD's base is capable of reading and writing ext4 filesystems. It's claimed to work on ext2 and ext3 as well. Previously, sysutils/fusefs-ext2 had to be used, or ext2fs could only mount ext4 as read only...

Ironically, while a lot of Netflix uses FreeBSD to run, it's not straightforward to watch it on FreeBSD. I've not done it in awhile, but take a look at this thread...

It's not a 'patch', it's a script that tries to fix the issue. Anyway, you can download it on a different machine and put it on a USB stick (FAT32 formatted). Then copy it from the USB stick onto the machine.

It will skip strings that do not start with /example, so it won't match /tools/hammers/example/thor, but it will match /examplesomething_else. If you want to match exactly /example, you could regex ^\/example$ ^ matches the beginning of the...

Great, thanks! I think I got it now 😊 👍

Same old driver: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/cant-get-gui.102891/ There's a good chance the old 340 NVidia driver doesn't work any more with a recent Xserver. NVidia stopped support for these old cards a long time ago. The older 304...

this will not be the exact match. It will match anything starting with "/example" /example /example1/ /exampletest etc

OK I see, thanks for pointing that out! But it wont checking for a match inside long directory structures, like the old one i had? /tools/hammers/example/thor

Perhaps the server is using UEFI-boot? Then a different bootblock should be used... I've written a shell script that checks (and optionally reinstalls) the bootblocks that you might find useful...

or try with ^ (start of the line) $ (end of the line) You can test it here with: /dir1/example /example https://regex101.com/ Btw my column numbers are different in httpd-access.log

Great!! Thanks for your help and tips, much appreciated!! 🙏 I guess I actually need it to match from the start of the line, so I removed the $ character. I'll hope that will do the trick: awk '$11 == "404" && $9~/^\/example/ {print $1}'...

I'd say we need as a requirement the collision that gave us our moon. And a big moon at that. Reasons being Plate tektonics. The reminders of the plates from that time, be it from earth or the impactor, is still visible in measurements of the...

Is there a way to use a exact match on the condition in awk? This is what I have: awk '$11 == "200" && index($9, "/example") {print $1}' /var/log/httpd-access.log | sort -n >> /tmp/ips.list This catches /anotherdirectory/example too as it...

Not sure about specifics but it seemingly came as an official firmware update; when Pi4 boots it has a themed boot screen, checks for SD/USB, and if neither are detected it says to press Space to change boot order and press something else for...

Stopped reading here.

Great more AI bullshit, I wonder why having a full AI written post could be allowed in this forums in the first place. Really funny that it talks about setgid thingies when we do have a mac based non setgid sudo alternative that is called mdo...

Mostly refactoring and cleanup... but a new alpha release. https://github.com/aphor/FreeBSD15-RPi5-modules/releases/tag/ALPHA-03

Never heard of that. A ROM bootmanager that listens to the keyboard? The RPI 3b 2nd version can be firmware-patched to boot directly from USB but I don't have that version.

I didn't try a FreeBSD image yet, but RPi4 booted openSUSE and Debian from USB (can select default SD or USB from Pi's boot mgr by holding Space with no boot devices connected)

In case you didn't spot it, the AUR mess goes into another round. That is after 1500 malicious packages were discovered. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Arch-Linux-AUR-More-Malware

Any chance of a recent board with graphics? Still using a RPI0 v1 with scfb driver for simple X graphics but it's almost nothing. Also the unsupported GDIO and the dependency of an SD-card sucks. They always go bad of writing. A quality USB stick...

Ok. I just got back from watching "Disclosure Day". I'll give my opinion of the movie overall and then say something about it that you may not want to read. It's not a spoiler, really, but more like a heads up. I thought this was the best...

Seeming pretty good! Was trying Linux earlier, but ran into a systemd timer firing after reboot because of RTC (OS update script with reboot, so it'd run the timer after reboot, reboot in a few mins, and loop); I heard cron handled no RTC...

I was thinking, wow, something wrong with installing KDE and stuff like Konsole/Dolphin/Konqueror? If you use KDE on Linux, KDE on FreeBSD works the same. Networking in jails - yeah, OP really should have paid better attention to the blogs on...
