Now it's better than expected :D My websites load a little faster from a RPi4 SD card and FreeBSD 15.1 than openSUSE TW on an Ivybridge laptop with SSD

That would be graphics/drm-kmod, not graphics/drm-latest-kmod. graphics/drm-kmod has some logic to 'automagically' pick a version: .if ${OPSYS} != FreeBSD IGNORE= not supported on anything but FreeBSD (missing linuxkpi functionality) .else ...

I don't know if this is useful information or not, but I have had pretty good luck burning CDs and DVDs within FreeBSD using Brasero. I think that Brasero gives you the ability to turn the speed of the burner down (to avoid buffer under run) and...

It's a golang application? Yet no go crates are being pulled in? Poudriere won't allow fetching of additional files during the build phase. ## Compiler LiveKit git clone https://github.com/livekit/livekit /opt/livekit cd /opt/livekit go build...

There's an updated version, released in 2019. It has a slightly smaller case, and doesn't have a HD anymore. It has a slightly better CPU, but other than that it's mostly identical. I have that one too. I liked the Shield so much I bought another...

SirDice Same here but mine's about three years old. However I've read that it's probably the same hardware you still have and they have no need to upgrade it.

More like 10, it's either the 2015 or 2017 model, the one with the 500GB HD in it.

Or various (certified) Android TV devices, like the NVidia Shield. The NVidia Shield is great. Bought one 10-15 years ago? Can't remember exactly, but I still get regular OS updates for it. Most smartphones or tablets don't get that kind of support.

-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...
