1 problem that starts there is the unclear difference between /etc and /usr/local/etc. Not all ports handle it the same, so you have to look at it per port. /etc/X11/xorg.conf? I don't remember X.org being a base component...

Switch to sh first.

Post the output of pkg repos

You simply have to collect a definive source base and describe all changes you want to keep in the universal end result. My experience is that the default settings of a lot aren't consistent enough to skip explicit configuration. Generating an...

Because you did it yourself. The upgrade process isn't going to do it for you.

There is none. There once was a port for it; x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau. But it got removed due to a lack of certain kernel features.

Thanks for your effort! My fault to copy two unnecessary and confusing lines in my post. 🙄 I tried freebsd-update as regular user: dvl@mybsd:~ % freebsd-update upgrade -r 15.1-RELEASE freebsd-update: Directory does not exist or is not writable...

Thanks everyone for your help! In the end I managed to watch movies on Netflix and Crunchyroll. By downloading Brave through FreeBSD's Linux compatibility layer, I installed it with: doas pkg install brave-linux

It is. But a bug in freebsd-update will cause this issue. So you need to be on 13.5-RELEASE-p5 to avoid getting bitten by this bug. https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-EN-25:18.freebsd-update.asc

Good question IMO. Ok... ZFS is - as I like to call it - an "evolving filesystem", meaning so much that new features get added to the system as time goes by. But as you can imagine: those new features in the core mechanics don't "magically"...

Reading the upgrading docs about upgrade loader bios, and I'm not sure what the following means: ...bootstrap upgrades are optional unless a ZFS root pool is upgraded... How to tell if the ZFS root pool is upgraded or not?! I have ZFS but...

Thank you. I see you run FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE, let me know if something changes after upgrade to 15.1-RELEASE :) (I’m still running 14)

IMHO: As long as we don't bring back some ancient methods of dealing with such individuals (pick one) - what good would that do? I'd bet the track leads to a country that does not do anything about such things, so you won't be able to get your...

The installation notes have been removed. https://reviews.freebsd.org/D57517 Here's an alternative. https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.1R/upgrading/

$250,000 to have a proprietary program process an open source projects. Perhaps money well spent. Perhaps money unwisely squandered. Reminds me of a quote from Star Trek. "We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will...

It looks like the Alpha Omega project is under the Linux Foundation. Alpha Omega has a $7million a year budget, according to the link. It's likely funded by corporate backers. Considering that, it looks like money well spent, unless, they play...

The way I read it the money goes to the people involved, not to LLM providers.

My count 0f 128GB and 256GB is 40 or so of many generations. The speed would be irrelevant if I could use them all in 1 system. This is what I'm talking about. They break in 1 time and are barely useable in large amounts combined. They are...

I have SSD's too. But they aren't what they technically could be because that would extend their usability to the point where so much space is broken and marked bad that there's no value left. That's a real high age. It happens immediately if the...

Due to spambot abuse, FreshPorts.org has recently started requiring having an account to use the search feature. This of course can be circumvented by searching through a third-party search engine using the site: search operator and taking...

This part is crucial to me.

Why do you hide your profile?

This part is crucial to me.

Well, yeah. Those are exactly the two points of why there are HOL: No need to fumbling with assembler language Having portable source code. It's the job of the compiler (or interpreter, or VM) to make it run on the according architecture. Those...

Of course not, because all what's C about it, is this: void hal_timerSchedInit(void) { // Set up timer1 interrupt for scheduler |= ()( << ); // CTC mode = ; |= ()( << ); } Because TCCR1B uint8_t 1u WGM12...

If I recall correctly, it's one of the reason why C is developed.

Looks like it is in good hands.

I have Xfce4, which is running very well and a few things I like to have on my computer. Boinc projects, some smart ass comments and nifty graphics :)

This is the LXQT desktop on my recently updated case computer.

Could there be a list of the least expensive desktop graphic cards of the -580 variants that FreeBSD users have effortlessly setup and are in use? www/falkon became unusable here with a -390/Xorg bump, over a year ago IIRC.

It looks to me like they only needed to have some decent fingerprinting system on all of their acknowledged source providers to make sure that a few trying to distribute malware via official channels always get noticed because their files differ.

Dunno, I've been running on this 'consumerist scam' since 2012, and I still have that SSD, it's still running and booting, and it went through more OS reinstalls and re-formats than I care to count. Hell, I'm planning to use that same SSD to play...

These songs take me back... it seems like yesterday. Great pop band... Whoever wrote their songs, was some kind of genius. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8bKi1ATAqc View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahGxiSV_LH0 View...

FWIW here is one list of compromised packages: https://md.archlinux.org/s/SxbqukK6IA Nothing I'd need on there. Maybe if I was heavy on node.js. Looks like Arch's base repositories have most of what I use from FreeBSD ports or Debian and I...

Some searches on their collaboration with Valve, Microsoft and Intel might be interesting. I'm not opinionated about this already but I'm going to follow this intensively.

Ddos is distributed overload of a TCP/IP server with (preferably complex) bogus requests. What has this too narrow supply chain as weakness to do with it?

L2 used to be the one that was limited to 1080p, but it seems noone is using L2 any more. It's either L1 or L3 that's used.

UPDATE : I have enabled the SMP support for FreeBSD guest OS,virtualized with qemu-bhyve and I've launched some benchmarks. System: CPU : Intel Core i9-9900K (8C/16T, base 3.6 GHz) Host OS : FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT (amd64) Guest OS: FreeBSD...

I think 1080p is the new SD for the purpose of limiting resolution on "low grade" browsers. As far as hardware goes, I recommend the Apple TV box.

Try setting the write speed to 24X, or something else lower than the maximum. Use the configuration file in /usr/local/etc/ so this doesn't have to be set on the command line each time. When I lowered the speed from the maximum, cd's burned...

The problem is that while this leak is not exclusive of FreeBSD, it isn't present on every distro; IIRC Arch was not affected, in example. I'll try with Kubuntu, let's see what happens. :)

:cool: Anyone with children is always in a hurry. I only have an hour or two a day to get things done. That’s why I thought it would be a good idea to do the upgrade now. But you are right. Now I will wait until June, 15th and start a new thread...

I doubt it. SSD's are already at max controller performance. Only physically rotating disks can take advantage of scheduled read and write operations because the non-linear round discs lose time on the head operations. On a SSD everything is...

I have the suspicion that it's intentional to push for identification facilities around the end-user. Wait for it... They can't verify a user's authenticity without forced centrai supervision. The end user can no longer be root, like on Android...
