Finished... took almost 3 days long to build this! I have vscode again, yeah!

Simple. First, I don't think he abandoned his dog. Maybe your translation software is making things up, but I find it highly unlikely that he did that. Second, whatever you wrote about the "real situation in Europe" is uninformed at best and a...

What would you think? According to the edit history of one of these posts you know pretty well why.

Im waiting for posts like this sudo systemd install freebsd The problem with AI is you are sub contracting your brain to a machine You dont learn anything Mentally you cant think things through or have any critical thinking to get things...

Were you able to get DRM content to play under your system? I'm taking classes online and video in the course won't load due to this issue.

I'm using the 340 driver version it still works for video playback while it has a black screen issues that recently somehow resolved itself when looking through the xorg opengl extension.

A lack of RTFA has been an issue for as long as I can remember. Then again, documentation in general has been in decline across many projects. I personally learned more from The Complete FreeBSD and FreeBSD Diary than just about anything. Even MS...

Well, you need a lawyer. First of all to understand which government agency wants what from you.

It's weird because according to what I read in the postfix mailing list, my postfix should be failing with lmdb 1.0 and it doesn't. After deleting my postscreen cache (which then postfix recreates), I can simply query it with postmap -s...

I do not think there is need to go deep in dependencies ('required' and 'depend on'), only the direct port reference of the entry is necessary to check if it is installed and display the entry to the user. For 99% of the ports port/pkg updating...

One way would be to allow multiple (and unlimited) number of AFFECTS lines per entry, terminated by following (first, once multiple lines are allowed) AUTHOR line, forbid wildcards and force one port per line. And maybe something like...

I've been testing my new preamp out... :)

Incidentally, I noticed (via a comment in the thread that freethread linked to earlier) that the Porter's Handbook actually does say what the format of the file (quote) "is" (that being with a machine-parseable AFFECTS line), and moreover gives...

Very cool, again. It is too bad that make doesn't have output to arbitrary file descriptors such as shell has: ls 1>&3 and then redirect from the outside ./myscript 3> myfile I missed this for some ports work long ago.

Thanks! I chose the PPM format, since it is simple and text based. I did have issues coming up with a clean way of outputting an image. Since I set my goal to use absolutely no external binaries (Not even recalling make itself), I had to come up...

Well, on the bright side the LLM in use did have enough specialized knowledge about FreeBSD (without mixing it up with Linux knowledge) to be an overall win. I also have good experience, the major problem being misunderstandings such as which...

There should be an FAQ for Linux users coming to FreeBSD.

So is this a dog of a commonly assumed dangerous breed? How big? Many big European cities enacted policies to control ownership of such dogs. There were too many widely published incidents (including toddler deaths) in the last 15 years and the...

But more spindles bring more performance. And smaller disks resilver much faster when a disk fails.

If the summary is appropriate, an email will be automatically sent to the maintainer.

I'm just showing my ignorance.... So, is there a device which can be used to decode, send and receive infrared signals? I guess I'm talking about an IrDA adapter...

The AFFECTS section should be more specific, or add another section to be specific to make pkg updating more specific. It's like making a PR for a port, it's specified to start the title of the PR with the category/port the PR refer to, this is...

You can receive radio signals with SDR receiver and trying to decode them... but TV's ?? TV remote controllers are infrared not radio.

Yes, so that sort of thing is why I suggested a change to "pkg updating" itself that makes it (at least optionally) show things that don't conform. Temporal order of UPDATING versus "pkg updating" aside: As I said in the original post, its man...

I believe pre-commit checks are done by the committer who commit the change. But basically it's "for natural human readers", not for pkg-updating. UPDATING exists in this format from far before pkg-updating appears, more, far before even first...

T-Aoki and rwv37 your reasoning makes sense, pkg updating works halfway. For a user who uses ports this might not be a problem, he completely ignores the command and consults the file /usr/ports/UPDATING directly. For a package user who doesn't...

so that's why my postfix kept complaining about lmdb:verify_cache being unreadable after the upgrade ... I just removed the file and let postfix rebuild it so normality restored.

Exactly, I wonder why such tool doesn't exist yet.

It insists on using bash in all their solutions.

Looks like you're trying to install FreeBSD. Would you like some help?

It's a black box as much as freebsd-update is, the source is available. No one is forced to use packages, source builds will continue to work. If one doesn't want base as packages just build from source. In fact I bet someone will reintroduce the...

TBH, I've been typing a bunch of stuff into AI lately, and I haven't had any luck with it. By the time I know enough to type a functioning prompt in, I've already done the work to find the information in a random forum post. And, at least that...

For some time I used a vdev on a compressed pool for swapping. That went smooth, pretty impressive. The only reason I stopped was I needed system core dumps to debug something. And with the amount of memory the refurbished laptops have that I...

There's also sysutils/desktop-installer. Honestly, I don't see much point in making the setup any easier than it already is. Anybody who needs that last bit of handholding is probably not even thinking about FreeBSD to begin with. They may not...

The handbook is also written to cover 13, 14 and 15 and there are places where it needs some love.

Handbook is written fairly generically, it simply cannot provide instructions for all possible hardware combinations people might have. Helping new users is one of the reasons why these forums exist. But I get it, AI can be useful to look things...

So, no AI "help" needed during the install 👍 I'd say it's easier to do on FreeBSD than Linux once you get the hang of it and have a bit more experience with the "FreeBSD-way" of doing things.

Which part of the installation was troublesome for you? Because the FreeBSD installation itself is fairly straightforward.

There are too many possibilities, it's hard to debug. 😅 And without detail error message.

Ah, it's not drm-66-kmod that's missing, it's drm-kmod that's missing in FreeBSD-ports-kmods.

One final test you could do; pkg version -r FreeBSD-ports-kmods -vRx drm That's probably going to show graphics/drm-66-kmod as being "orphaned" (?). That would confirm the package disappeared in the FreeBSD-ports-kmods repository.

You have a 15.1 system, the DRM driver should have a 1501000 in it's version string. You have that version installed. So just leave it for the time being. pkg-upgrade isn't going to touch it, it would be downgrading (it definitely never does...

My mistake was writing install, not post install config.

I'm not too worried about graphics/drm-kmod because it's a meta-port, it doesn't have anything of itself, it only depends on other packages. But this one's odd: drm-66-kmod-6.6.25.1501000_8 > succeeds remote (remote has...
