@ sanjivkapur Can you enter the command bectl list and zfs list -r -t filesystem zroot and ls -alx /.zfs

Rc.d is similar for what I know. It's the default configuration that takes time but it tries to activate all hardware. It's of not much use on a dedicated system with a clear list of activities. This can start all services much faster than 25...

pkgbase was redundant with freebsd-update from start. 😉 I saw the slides and the video of pkgbase in Production: A Practical Overview but it does not convince me - and not only because Lukas Engelhardt is working in a Powershell 6 (not 7.x) on...

Why are people so focused on boot times? The BIOS post of most of my servers takes well in excess of a minute, it just does not matter if FreeBSD then boots in 25 or 20 seconds. Also, unless there is a kernel upgrade, why reboot a FreeBSD server...

So here comes the question:What do you think is more realistic:Sending people to Mars to establish a colony within the next two decades,building a data center in space for "AI",or SpaceX will soon go bankrupt?

What could be the advantage in orbit? I don't think only the high yield of solar panels makes it worth it. Take ground heat. Significant investment and maintainance but unlimited scalable capacity and barely material requirements.

I have three VPS's which have exactly the same IPv6 configuration in rc.conf. The diagram below shows that they can communicate to each other over IPv6. The one running FreeBSD 15 does not communicate with devices on my home network, but those...

FreeBSD is mostly in C. Now you tell me after doing all my company's web projects in C for 20 years.

I will look into it.

It should be suggested that the OP can write up or offer suggestions to the documentation people as a PR.

Was listening to something on the radio this morning and I'm rather shocked how NPR (National Public Radio in the US) propagated this silliness*. About AI creating things allowing them to take over the world and find humans worthless so they...

Both Teller's and Fermi's calculations I have seen online. Don't remember where but federation of american scientists seems like a good start. Maybe I misremember which element from the atmosphere was in danger of being fused.

Yes, you nailed it. But seriously not everyone knows how to upgrade it so that its linked to the correct ABI's, I'm a bit confused why this very important part is not relayed in the info above, everything else is crystal clear - it would be nice...

Fusing nitrogen? I'd like to see the math behind that proposal.

The most heavy impact is in latinamerica,the hardware is almost unreachable for the %95 of the developers,unless they have a well paid job sorry,the hardware and the subscriptions

Hello. I created some jails by https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/jails/. Part of my jail.conf: wsgi { host.hostname = ${name}; # Hostname path = "/usr/local/jails/containers/${name}"...

Rust is the AI of programming languages. By that I mean no one touched Rust till the US government made a statement about it just recently. Then everyone had to have it and use it for everything. If you didn't, there was something wrong with...

How? Are you going to get the RTL-SDR stick to decode GPS signals?

My field for the past ten years has been non-terrestrial computers. I design onboard spacecraft systems. Lately I've had some involvement in the LunaNet project (to extend packet data networking to the moon) and a project to specify and build a...

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...

Also, last month, the city where I almost passed out after walking a steep hill and not drinking enough water.

Just to clarify, the "I'm sorry" is for me missing to give info on where the information is missing and it's missing from every single upgrade instruction that comes with every new release. :)

Then the issue is very likely not with the FreeBSD host. If your network card (wired or wireless) wasn't working you wouldn't be able to ping your router. That said, you might be missing a gateway address. So you can only ping hosts on the same...

hi, looks like your DNS setup needs some work ! your computer needs a correctly configured Resolver. verify that /etc/resolv.conf contents is as expected.

Not sure about that, do a find/grep of every lib in your system and I am fairly certain that more than 99% of them could be (and originally were) written on a system even lighter than a P4. Even silly bloated stuff like C++ and Qt can quite...

Why?

Sorry to hear that. Note that zfs snapshots are quite cheap and fast. In future you may wish to snapshot frequently (may be from a cron job and another cron job to delete really old ones). Also, a good idea to backup to an external disk or...

One of the reasons why I'm adamant on having IPMI or remote KVM access. Server could also get stuck in single user mode and fail to boot, or a bunch of other reasons that'll make ssh access impossible. I don't want to drive an hour just to press...

I see that I can still use --exit-with-session with the Wayland dwl. I actually don't use exit-with-session with X. Still good to know, thanks.

Hi, If you use startx, maybe this post explains it. https://forums.freebsd.org/profile-posts/7089/

Space is an extremely hostile environment to everything, you cannot just stack 4nm 3D box of transistor circuity into a satellite. Isolation cannot be provided without heavy materials, shrinking the payload size. SpaceX is not going to fail...

Contrary to popular belief, space isn't cold.

And we don't really need more unnecessary sources for orbital debris that poses serious issues for other spacecrafts.

Putting services into service jails has a lot of advantages. First of all, you would not expose your internal services like database services to the wild of the public internet. These services are highly attractive to malicious actors and there...

I don't believe a legacy platform has any bearing on open-source development. Much of the code underlying open-source is much older than a P4. A P4 would still provide a stronger development environment than a modern Raspberry Pi. Especially...

As the maintainer who did it, it's intentional and unavoidable at least with current form. For conventional, old-school UMS driver (in contrast with KMS), installing x11/nvidia-driver{-304|-340|-390|-470|-580|-devel} as before pulls...

Well, the "of course" was not obvious to me. I think there are some uses of sqlite dbs in a default install (packages maybe a couple of others) which is why I asked. If they were system level they could be recreated. If they were user data...

Contrary to popular belief, space isn't cold.

I suspect so. But that's a feature of a desktop environment, not the filesystem.

mer some of my work database with tables, views, indices and triggers and data ofcourse.

The fibre optic cable keeps breaking.

Oh, BTW, if someone needs, I just solved the Winamp problem (it is need to set it up a Windows machine (even 11, it works great), then copy the Winamp folder from Program Files), I missed there was the Wine start command. Winamp needs to run by...
