And if your phone doesn't work for usb tethering, a supported usb ethernet dongle works wonders for installing on hardware that requires extra drivers.

I have almost the same issue.My solution is to use my phone for internet connection by USB hot spot tethering.

the last one I bought was a ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 (I wanted to test out an Intel Battlemage GFX card) before that ASRock B450M Pro4 R2.0 (I tried to use thos as a machine to run local LLMs on, but my gfx card is only a MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ventus...

So, did you try with burnfree? Like it says in the output... Has always worked for me, with lots of different CD / DVD recorders.

ECC on AM4 is not worth it, you have a very limited set of motherboards where it actually works as in actually functions and reports issues (ASRock Rack mainly) but these boards have been reported randomly dying on various forums and are very...

That's a feature not a fault.

I'm just revisiting this and don't seem to be able to get the output sent to a file. According to ChatGPT, if I want to send output to a file I should redirect the output in a command, ie #+begin_src sh :results silent echo "Hello, world!" >...

I mean this is like ultimate defeat, but the option of running some Windows in a Virtualbox with passed-through USB CDR seems least hassle.

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.

How about just following the Handbook? No other tools needed. Other blogs tend to be the opposite and outdated but AI will religiously follow them. You need only one source. The Handbook. Two sources if you include this forum. No installation...

ntp on FreeBSD runs under a MAC framework policy which might block access to some network functionality.

Samba4 support on FreeBSD seems temperamental these days (in regards to a full ad setup) and will likely give you a few headaches but, assuming it was working, you would use the same tools as if you had a Windows AD server without the desktop...

From my perspective, this may be a good idea to have this sort of program as a third party software (in ports) (though I'm not sure if that will even be possible to easily integrate it directly into the boot process, but probably it would be...

Hello everyone! This is my first post here on the FreeBSD forums. I am still learning FreeBSD and currently planning migrating to it as my platform and daily driver and am excited enough that I am even considering perhaps creating my own "distro"...

Oh and make sure you get something with an Intel Ethernet chip, not realtek.

Yeah I'd expect that to have issues (ME wouldn't be notorious if it was that easy to disable just from the OS on software/drivers) HECI's a PCI device that takes resources: Even if it isn't internet-connected, disabling the whole subsystem frees...

I have a 5950x. I know ECC works because a friend has a similar system and he's getting 1-bit (corrected) error messages. MSI does not do ECC.

I would always get more ports than you need. They come in handy e.g. when you want to move to new disks.

I've abandoned SVN (used since the dawn of time), now www/gitea on my LAN (about 3 years)

What specific hardware is that true for?

Can disable Management Engine on Intel, but haven't heard of anything about disabling or opting-out AMD PSP

I tried that often with ZFS but I never noticed any improvement of adding a latest gen 256GB m.2 drive as cache or mirror to a pool of mech drives. More RAM is much better if you want performance. It would start to improve if you're on memory...

Hi Phishfry, I really appreciate all your additional information, but it makes it harder for me to decide. :( Maybe the 94xx with only 8i? Do you have any experience with the surplus place that you linked to? Kindest regards, M

When I burned CD's at maximum speed, my CD's didn't burn correctly. My CD's burned incorrectly when it was at the default of higher speeds. When I lowered the speed to 24X, maybe 32X, not sure, it burned correctly. Try any lower speed, then...

Hi everyone. I've had a sick urge to try installing FreeBSD on an old PS4. With Claude's help, I don't want to limit myself to installing a truncated or unusable version; I'd like to take it a step further. It's an experiment and an attempt to...

I use the Asus Prime branded AM4 board. Works fine, does ECC. I think the Prime AM5 boards are equally good, but of course the memory costs much more.

You need a auto-regenerating atom surface to recover from displacement by friction. It may not use more energy than 1 impact generates. This way, a kinetic steel ball bounce system keeps on going forever. (In a vacuum)🤓

Hi Phishfry, ha ,ha, of course I am asking for an opinion. Is it not logical to inquire with with someone who has the experience? I am little confused about the "clone" adjective. As I understand from the research so far, the heart of the...

hruodr A few years ago, I was still running on RamNode with 32-bit FreeBSD. I put in a ticket and asked about changing to the current version 64-bit. They said, "Sure" and made the iso available. I installed that as a regular installation goes in...

Hi Phishfry, thank you again. I looked at e-bay, and indeed there are some Lenovo's. Is Inspur a good brand or should I go with Supermicro for a few more $? Well, as I have Supermicro motherboard, I will go with Supermicro. Kindest regards, M

SAS3 bring some incredible speeds for Enterprise SAS SSD. They get near NVMe speeds out of some drives. I am seeing 1200MB/s

Yes I think it is i540(2 port) and i740(4 port) Lenovo SAS card that have LSI93xx and are the cheapest used because they suck. Sometimes misrepresented on ebay. Not worth your time.

Hi cracauer@, thank you for the reply. I did not look at the 93xx series as it is for 12GB speed. Will it be backward compatible with slower drives? Hi Phishfry, thank you for the reply. So as not to buy a wrong card, it will say something...

When you plan to start the lawsuit vs Sony or some other rich company?

Stay away from the Lenovo LSI versions of 93xx. They use different firmware and suck. I like to stay away from anything MegaRAID. True you can flash them to anything but more hassle. Plus some have Battery Backup modules that are not worth the...

The LSI 92xx take quite a bit more idle power than the 93xx. I'd get the newer ones. Otherwise these are workhorses and still recommended.

My implementation is in JavaScript (and is in heavy development state) and only works with ports, not packages, it can be however easily ported to C++. Apart this, sh can be run in a fresh installed system, it does not require other ports to...

Forgot to mention. One of what hidden dependencies harm would be noticed in cases like below. Port C chanded its ABI (regardless API is kept backward compatible or not). Port B is fixed (simple PORTREVISION bump is sufficient if API is kept...

It would be because the very first developer of portupgrade chose ruby over sh to handle complicated dependency graph. And, if I recall correctly, ruby-haters started developing portmaster in sh.
