It's not part of their regular offerings but it's easy to get and they support you like anyone else. Go here and you can do a live chat or use Discord. I might be grandfathered in. I don't see the same plan I'm on with two IPV4 addresses and 16...

Shabaz are you running it in the /compat/linux chroot or just running it?

Hi guys! I'm writing this post to provide you a quick step by step guide that I successfully implemented in my laptop after weeks of searching and following the test-error-test=success, it was a headache to me, but I made it. This is my way to...

That's a feature not a fault.

There is a concept of 'local storage' now for websites which they control, so the stuff is deletable from their side, and not merely pictures cached by the browser somewhere on the disk. Whatsapp web for instance does decryption on the fly...

Have you tested on a different machine to confirm the device works as intended? Also, what Freebsd Release are you using to do the testing just in case you need to use a supported version

I'd try FileZilla; you can do FTP and SSH transfers :D

Iirc Vultr was $6/month for 1GB RAM (I always used their cheapest 1GB option with Linux but I think there's $2 or $3 512MB ones too) I couldn't install Linux distros with 512MB (they'd fail while booting, or Ubuntu that failed mid-install; iirc...

If speed is the concern you can always plug a USB cable in and use jmtpfs to get the data transferred quickly. Otherwise, you'd probably want software that's going to sync the devices as you take photos.

I'm assuming that you want to serve something online, othwerwise it would make far more sense to just load up FreeBSD in a VM where you can really screw stuff up without any real consequences.

What is the minimum VPS plan I could use to deploy FreeBSD? On https://ramnode.com/ I was told

it depends on where the image is originally coming from and how it is hosted, it would be easier to ask the person to provide the original image.

Can you run browser from the terminal and output into a log file so you can review it if there is any indication about the issue? Did you also chroot into ubuntu to update the packages?

ls: -G Enable colorized output. This option is equivalent to defining CLICOLOR or COLORTERM in the environment and setting --color=auto. (See below.) This functionality can be compiled out by...

Honestly, aesthetics isn't much of a concern for an OS which doesn't ship with a GUI by default. Also, booting tends to be pretty fast and infrequent enough that it's a non-issue. It's been a while, but I thought that it used to be possible to...

possibly...but without details and timeline I can't make a concrete assertion about it. Think about it...mozilla browsers save a huge cache on the system disk so most webpage graphics are saved until they time out. Why would google chat be any...

I have the GP108 (GeForce GT1030). If you look at /usr/ports/UPDATING the 20260327 entry gives a link to supported chips at https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/FreeBSD-x86_64/595.58.03/README/supportedchips.html. If you look for the 1030...

I fought this issue just the other day after upgrading from Python3.11->3.12. Cyclical dependencies are the worse. My fix was to force uninstall devel/glib20 and devel/gobject-introspection, then issue: make FLAVOR=bootstrap all install...

Original article here. Consider this when replying. FreeBSD, The FreeBSD Foundation, and The FreeBSD Forums are not associated with the content of this article.

Of course I am interested :) Please share if possible.

Trial period, probably not. I can rent a VPS for a single month though. I needed to test something, added a new VPS, did my tests with it, then cancelled it again. Only paid one monthly fee for it.

Looks like I should give up on AWS. What is the cheapest VPS I can get to use FreeBSD on and is such a thing as free trial period available? I'm trying find out if FreeBSD is available, but I don't see an option for picking it.

Why do you say that? FreeBSD works fine on EC2.

Heh. Well, it does look as though river is available: https://www.freshports.org/x11-wm/river/?branch=2025Q3 However, I note that the version supplied by this port is very old, compared to the release version of v0.4.5...

If you have questions with regards to coding for it, you can certainly ask them in the "Userland programming & Scripting" forum. That bit is fine in "Web and Network services". But start with a basic FAMP, or in this case, FAPP (really bad...

I just managed to run ubuntu on oracle's cloud (oracle linux is a catastrophe, no debian offered). It has a console, you can login without ssh. In principle also with ssh to the cloud system, but I did not manage to do it. Of course, when you...

Anyone using Drupal? Can you recommend any useful support groups? I'm just getting started and I can see that Drupal is a pretty complicated so will more than likely encounter problems. I'm currently setting up Drupal in a jail along with...

That's why I like Amazon's storage. You can create virtual disks of any size at will and assign it to virtual machines as you see fit. Anytime. To rescue a fatfingered system in EC2 I have an instance dedicated to rescue operations. I then...

allow.mount allows mounting within the jail. Normally filesystems (including devfs) are mounted from the host side.

Might still require creditcard details when you sign up, even if you only use their "free" services. At least that was the case not too long ago when I tried. I don't have a creditcard, so failed to get an account. Nobody seems to have mentioned...

Is there any way to recover a deleted image that was displayed in something like Google chat? Would that image still remain in the computer's cache somewhere?

I had no problem creating various AWS accounts. But that's long ago. Not familiar with the current procedure.

Considering that my nieces have often asked me for tech support, (I'm a boomer) that might be true. I suspect that every generation has folks interested in tech and other folks who just want it to work.

Unfortunately this not a universal standard. It's the same thing as people that love output in a terminal to be colorized others do not. Boot time messages go past rapidly, not easy to read or even pause/scroll lock. Then we have screen size...

A little improvement would be preventing that the kernel puts hardware detection output over the curses installer program without even cursor positioning or a redraw screen option. Probably security-related like no program may see what's already...

I want to try AWS initially, because, AFAIUI it is initially a free service.

No, that example doesn't produce an external file to the org file. That example should output the result of the code within the org file itself. As per the Org mode help file: The reason that the other example worked as you expected is that you...

My recommendation. If you do not like the boot messages, just do not look at them, or change to an operating system that hides them like Ubuntu, as soon as possible. You are new user and less dependent on FreeBSD, you can change easily. By the...

Does anyone have an AWS account? I have tried to sign up several times but my account does not get created. My email address and password have been accepted but get some error message about needing to clear cookies before I can proceed. Anyone...

That example does, but I thought #+begin_src sh :results output echo PID: "$$" #+end_src the result would be placed in a file called 'output'. Presumably that does not work.

You have to talk with lawyer experienced with copyright to get better advices. And BTW, have you finished another law course or the first one is "enough" for you to change the world?

I think the problem is in the crontab enty, not the cronjob (what runs at a scheduled time). I am betting KenGordon is using the format used by the global /etc/crontab, which is "minute hour mday month wday who command". So he likely has minute...

Here you go: 0 3 * * * root /usr/local/bin/lynis_cron.sh Ken Gordon

Well, thank you. First of all, I made a typo in that line: that last word in that line, LOGFILE, should have been preceded by the $. $LOGFILE is defined earlier in the program. But I still don't think this last line is correct. Also, according...

The 580 is the right driver for you card, the most recent driver 595 only supports newer cards 16xx models and above. egl-wayland is a dependency of the nvidia-driver see pkg-info specifically the -r option.

"cdrecord: The current problem looks like a buffer underrun." This likely is the issue - you may have mentioned it earlier but are you using USB3.x or USB2.0? With CD burning you are looking at write speeds which are typically 1/2 of read...
