Are you running a graphical desktop environment? Perhaps run it through on how you setup the drivers on the machine so we can trace the steps what you did for others to follow along. When I have freezes or black screens, there's no initial logs...

This is pretty cool. Expand your ZRAID or mirror with uneven size disks and more: View: https://youtu.be/mZ-dhntnkCQ?t=509

Using Sylve in place of now dead TrueNAS CORE makes a lot of sense - web GUI for managing ZFS pools/datasets/snapshots along with (already implemented or planned) NFS/SMB/other sharing ... not to mention VMs and Jails and even clustering...

Even if you ignore AI, you still don't escape the problem of acquiring enough RAM right now.

OK, perhaps I’m wrong. I see a difference between freebsd-update on the one hand, and Linux package managers and pkgbase on the other. I remember the same promises made by the package managers of Linux distributions, and they haven’t been kept...

I believe today rcorder is used by /etc/rc to make sure scripts are run in some correct order but not in parallel. That is, if both A & B require C, they will be run in order C, B, A or C, A, B. Beyond running independent scripts in parallel, I’m...

Consider this Anthropic talk from BSDCan last week. First talk in this video: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6L_ErsheVM

Even if you ignore AI, you still don't escape the problem of acquiring enough RAM right now.

That's my question, if we're talking about a more bespoke software package, just slap something on there saying that there's no AI and then commit to not accept any patches that you can identify as being AI created and call it a day. AI of the...

Yes, there are cheaper online models. I haven't used them so they escaped me in my post. OSS work doesn't need AI coding (outside the odd utility function). But debugging help, code review, making test cases are all areas where it helps being...

IMHO, this analysis lack something. If an OSS developer wants to use AI mainly for pair programming, DeepSeek-v4-flash is so cheap, that with $10 they can work for few months, especialy if used with Aider-chat, that is very good in using prefixed...

Or you can simply ignore the entire security circus and build small tools to be run locally.

On the news today while driving around, they said there's some report out there stating that 95% of companies using AI find they are losing time and money by using AI tools.

That's a classic, man.

All this AI craze has a very unfortunate side effect. For 30 years you could do open source development on a potato PC that some windows user put in the trash. If you really wanted to rebuild the godzillas (chromium, rust, electron) you could...

I don't like Nicolas Cage either, it's not hate, it's more of a feeling of discomfort. I read Philip K. Dick's "The Golden Man" and personally I wouldn't have chosen him as the lead in the film "Next". He seems too "humble" in his acting. He...

Although ath0 is working, I get these annoying messages: Any hint how to solve it? Thanks!

Update : I have pushed all the latest code that I have produced for every feature that I have added : - ef8c9f048a — FreeBSD 15.0 guest support (boots to login) -...

I decided to have two WM's. First one is my favorite Openbox and the second one is JWM. On the second monitor is our missed Luna opened with Geequie. On Openbox I am using Tint2.

My guess is, it's his acting style. He uses the same behavior and style of speech in many of his movies. It's not typical behavior, but it works out in movies. Kind of like, he's acting as himself in terms of personality, but acting as a...

First of all let's clarify: pkg remove delete everything that was contained in the Firefox's package (installed) pkg clean -a cleared everything from pkg's cache (downloaded packages) That said, if you still experience problems after removing...

This URL can't be cloned since it includes the path too, try command below instead: git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/Zirias/zfbsd-ports If you have a fresh ports tree already cloned on your system, clone Zirias' repository and copy the...

I needed to absolutely remove firefox from pkg install. I carried out two commands: 1 - pkg remove and 2 - pkg clean -a. Then carried out a pkg install firefox again and found the same issues that were causing with the original pkg install. SO...

Nobody mentioned Tora Tora Tora yet?

Hi, is there a link for the presentation? The BSDCan site has some of them, but this one has no link to it :( Unfortunately I could not be there (way to far :(). none

Is it going faster again when you reboot?

Was it cheap in money also?

What a pointless thread, because no OS is 100% safe by design on purpose. You always have to make tradeoffs for it to be usable and flexible enough. If you really want to hear own researched meanings about it look at Ilja van Sprudel instead of...

Uh, yeah? And some greybeard somewhere on the internet told me: 'As someone whose part of BSD development since its dawn, I'd advice you to take anything said by a greenhorn with a lot of salt and caution, when it comes to development. Most of...

Just came across this one. A sentence that is perfectly normal when shopping for shoes in germany but is a curse in english. (translation)

Pulseaudio adds a whole other layer of potential audio issues. Try mplayer again but make sure it's not trying to output via pulseaudio. It should be able to use OSS directly. Make sure that direct connection works, then we'll worry about pulseaudio.

You definitely want to hunt down Tora Tora Tora, especially if you liked the old Midway movie. I thought that Yamato 2005 is a bit silly. Still, good scenes.

Thanks for your reply! I recently contacted christos@ (Christos Margiolis, he's been actively doing a lot of sound-related stuff in FreeBSD kernel & userland) and he helped me a lot to understand things better. Regarding making an application...

It's the CONTRIB option that pulls in Python. You could install the tiny flavor of git if you don't need all the additional fluff. pkg install git-tiny. .if ${SUBPORT} == p4 || ${PORT_OPTIONS:MCONTRIB} USES+= python CONFIGURE_ARGS+=...

Hey tembun, sorry I didn't reply to this sooner. The issue here is, OSS audio cards as seen by application are just files. The application itself may try to sift through /dev/ and only pick up the files it deems appropriate like dspX. It may...

Remove that snd_driver_load from loader.conf. It's a stub to load all available sound card drivers, useful if you need to find out which driver you actually need. Not intended to be used permanently. What's being detected is snd_hda, this driver...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_even_wrong For FreeBSD to be like Linux at least these 2 conditions should be met: 1. Stuff coming from separate repos. FreeBSD has the FreeBSD-src monorepo. 2. Both ports & pkgbase installing to /usr...

T-Aoki the situation I recall, without taking a look on the internet, FreeBSD had distribution packages, tarballs that have parts of the system, XFree86 was one of them, they were on the CD or FTP. Typical stateless 'packaging' like any early...

How you understand, but don't understand is beyond me. It is exactly about development. The FreeBSD is developed together. This distribution/update channel does not change this fact. It is the ground setup of the project that lasts for 3...

What is this word soup supposed to mean? "How to create a driver for microphone input processing" is the topic of the thread. What pidfiles, what POSIX, what source code?
