Quite possibly, I just spent the morning working out why it is that none of my jails could update packages, it turned out to be that something had changed to prevent the nat instructions in PF from working when I updated to 15.1 in the jails. I...

Original from 103052 Hi All I'm upgraded base system with 15.1-RELEASE I tried to reload pf rules by # pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf But I got pfctl: DIOCADDRULE: Operation not permitted /var/log/message haven't any new message. And got...

Are all 4 of your disks the same size?

Yes, the common way (if you want to work on an existing repo that is not one you have created) is to fork it. Github has docs for this https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/fork-a-repo Note...

If we're lucky, I'd be worried that the judge does buy that nonsense and it just means that all these products get yanked from the market over something that wasn't in the license to begin with.

I am so glad I "unwatched" this thread. Right now all I see is a lot of theory a lot of shooting down that theory which brings in more speculation. Kind of watching a trainwreck. OP bring your legal theory to your local authorities and when it...

You're misinterpreting the licenses. In this logic, you may as well try to sue Public Domain, and Creative Commons. This will get nowhere with a judge.

It's not an easy task, see the thread Automating port search in UPDATING file. Without a specific format of AFFECTS entry, you always have to read all the content /usr/ports/UPDATING file, at least the ones at specific date after last update of...

It will never happen. Maybe freebsd-update in the way we use it, will disappear. Maybe pkgbase will die, maybe its successor will die too. Never the source build will. After all, it's the Source, isn't it? So, why such a discussion?

balanga Yes but scroll down to the Lite Cloud.

Also afaik GitHub has a functionality to create a fork directly from a repository page.

As said, you can and many do load a compiled program directly on the hardware, no OS. But of course there are libraries for things like I/O, you don't do everything from scratch. But there is no context switching for system calls. Those...

If you want to have your own copy of already existing repository that someone else owns, then jdakhayman is right - you need to "fork" this repo. If you have your own git repository locally and you want to transfer it to GitHub, then, on your...

Meanwhile, Alain's dog's last known picture:

Do you mean you want a copy of it in your account that you can alter? I think what your looking to do is to fork it? I could be wrong....

I have never really used GitHub although I have created an account but I'm struggling to work out how to copy an existing repository to it. How would I copy https://github.com/mmatuska/mfsbsd to my repository. Sorry for these newbie type...

IIIRC, there is a paid tier for the VPN.

No, you could build it directly on bare metal too, for example the way ArduPilot is made.

Doesn't a software stack have to be built on top of an OS?

It depends. Some of them, especially ones with many sensors and / or need of onboard image processing might run Linux. The same goes for those with some degree of autonomy. After all, it's not the operating system that's important, it is the...

I already gave you one.

Well....then.....don't use them.

What sort of processor does it use? Apparently they are assembled in Ukraine from Chinese components so it probably has some Chinese OS which was most likely based on Linux.

None whatsoever.. https://militarnyi.com/en/news/fp-5-flamingo-ardupilot-bypass-suppression/

If it's the EU it won't affect 80% of the world's population.

With drones being so much in the news these days, I wondered what OS they tend to use. From what I have heard a swarm of drones create a mesh network to identify targets and share information among themselves. This sounds fairly sophisticated...

Exactly!

I tried signing up to AWS but get errors in the process once I've submitted my email address and password Then I get:- There is something wrong with your request. Clear your cookies, check your request, and try again. If this issue continues...

I have a cheap VPS with ionos, but I cannot run FreeBSD or OpenBSD there because of the disk controller. They did not want to set it as SAS "only for me". It is good to know that you found a cheap one that supports *BSD. I am now in the process...

The more I read the more confused I get. Do you haveany recommendations? I had to laugh when I read that. I'm connected to the Internet by a USB Tether from my phone and when I go out I take my phone with me.

hruodr No but I would never use such a thing and I definitely wouldn't use Linux. I'm paying $2/month for a FreeBSD installation with two IPV4 addresses and 16 IPv6 addresses with RamNode. For my personal server it's all I need but my first three...

Maybe you aren't aware that support for this version is over, including in this forum.

I have just subscribed to Oracle "free tier", just to test it, in spite that I fear such surprises. Supposedly one does not get surprises unless one upgrade to "pay as you go". I will use it with oracle linux, I do not want to invest too much...

VPNs are not for privacy.

The ZFS raid10 equivalent is probably more performant than raidz2, but only survives 1 disk failure guaranteed and a second one maybe.

I use both. AWS EC2 can be expensive when you need some steam behind computation or RAM. For basic networking services in an almost-free instance it is quite OK. I like Amazon's elastic storage.

Alain De Vos, it would help if we knew the reason. Most reasons I hear of in the US are neighbors complaining (noise or destruction of neighbor's property) or threat to person or animals. And a lot of that depends on situtation. for example...

I think it's only possible for profane language and spam. Everything is scraped non-stop. There can't be a selective treatment based on opinion or attitude. It will be noticed and made public. Users can ignore others, I believe but who does that?

rmomota freebsd-update is much more complex than pkg. Look into the source. The security patches coming for 15.0 are applied in under a minute on the pkg run. Whoever has ran freebsd-update, knows it runs for long. Why? Because it is a complex...

Too often I read about people who get surprised by hundreds and thousands of dollar bills by surprise when their site gets temporary high usage. It just seems too complicated for a simple site. Changing providers is no more difficult than...

Really? You know better than the BBC staff? https://institute.aljazeera.net/en/ajr/article/3250 About free VPN: proton offers WireGuard and it works with FreeBSD, I tested it. But I do not know how private it is, but in any case usable.

Alain what happened exactly, why did they take the dog and where did they take it to? Did he bite anyone?

It's an Iranian version of the BBC which provides Iranian propaganda the same way that the BBC provides western propaganda. At least if you watch both you should be able to determine the truth as somewhere in between. Having said that the BBC...
