Blender working with Cuda now on github Launched with a desktop entry on Freebsd Videos directory mounted from Freebsd into the container for file access and audio works as well if you need it. https://github.com/NapoleonWils0n/freebsd-cuda...

Does a tree make a sound when it falls in the forest?

They are putting lua in it, they are putting lua everywhere. That is not promising, but ideologically bloating.

Have you been following the Handbook and these instructions?

If you have ambitions beyond your skill level, and want your name in lights, the temptation is to use AI to help. However, if you are unable to guide and review what has been generated, you are creating a problem. I've seen some really awful...

Whether USB ports deliver power when the computer is suspended is a function of the BIOS, not the OS. NVidia gets you into trouble once your card is too old and you have to use legacy drivers. Their legacy drivers are not adapted to OS changes...

Netgear A610. And it is an upgrade of the same model, one that also worked with Freebasd 14.1.

This USB adapter works for me: AC600 wireless Realtek RTL8811AU [Archer T2U Nano] TP-Link

Yep, personally, I prefer when the output of such things just gives me something easy to grep for. My dmesg output isn't so bad, it's only 87 lines at the moment, but sometimes output for things can get even longer, but even at 87 lines, that's...

Oh.

Does a remote terminal that monitors the system log show something at the final moment? If it's the graphics card of USB causing freezing, you could still see something happening on a ssh connection. Also, if ping says "host not found" instead of...

Does it still react to network pings? The single user thing after unclean shutdown is a fsck configuration thing. You should show your rc.conf. And tell us what graphics hardware you have.

No, -march=x86-64-v4 will not include avx512. Avx512 in CPUs is rare. I have to leave now, I might fire up a Chromium build later.

Many years ago, when I designed medical computers for Bausch & Lomb, I would come home from work with code on my mind. I'd walk around the house and talk about a problem with my wife who knows nuthin' 'bout 'nuthin 'bout electronics or...

If it was a plain leak, as in not freeing something that was malloced or realloced, a simple bookkeeping would detect it. If Valgrind is happy it's not that. How do you measure the size of the program, anyway?

On a random basis, after my system has been on for several days, my entire FreeBSD 14.4-RELEASE system will suddenly simply lock up. Everything comes to a complete halt. The only way I have found up to this point to get out of it is to turn the...

The main problem causing the "**root: not found**" error is in your **crontab entry**: ``` 0 3 * * * root /usr/local/bin/lynis_cron.sh ``` You're using the **system** crontab format (`/etc/crontab`) which includes the username, but this is a...

As a quick hack, grep for every use of *alloc and free in the library and instrument it with a simple integer increment/decrement. Obviously realloc is more difficult (and many uses of it are simply wrong, i.e realloc with size 0 is *not* the...

I like this suggestion. CDs are very much a legacy thing now. So why not emulate and run a legacy OS to do it? Plus, Windows has some fantastic burning software through the decades that get entirely opened up to us again.

What's the program main loop control? If it's 1 thread I/O event-driven, there must be an action to associate with the increasing resident menory that doesn't happen in all iterations. A function call related to a hashtable? I never used any...

Yes, I update the host-system from source. And I update the jail with ezjail-admin update -i

Yep, personally, I prefer when the output of such things just gives me something easy to grep for. My dmesg output isn't so bad, it's only 87 lines at the moment, but sometimes output for things can get even longer, but even at 87 lines, that's...

What memory counters are increasing? Is it possible that you are touching new pages, increasing the address mapped space, rather that just using more memory?

If Valgrind is happy it is more likely a memory fragmentation issue.

Well, hello, systemd for FreeBSD.

Colors become a clown car blur. For errors just give me gray or bold or red or yellow and that's all one needs if they need it at all

Can anyone help with what parameters are required here?

I was very pleasantly surprised when I logged on to see a lot of very constructive and thoughtful comments. Thank you all for that! 🏞️🤩 Yesterday I was avoiding logging on at all because I was dreading having to potentially deal with some kind...

Doesn't a jail need a different IP address to the host?

It's still relevant, I haven't done it before, so I don't know if it's right.

I recommend you attempt to experience FreeBSD from a serial terminal. You will realise that colors and special escape characters make the experience much, much worse for new and experienced users. The use of serial in the casual consumer space is...

I'm always struggling with reading poudriere build logs of ports that use colorized outputs in editors to determine actual errors.:eek: With this (a plenty of) experiences, my opinion is to output without colorization and prepare log readers...

I disagree. Aesthetic is important and is not only a GUI thing. Due to readability. Linux dmesg, in opposite to *BSD dmesg, are difficult to read for me. Colors and ornaments may make them more unreadable, due to distraction. All is the question...

Using user/pass for banking account should be prohibited via regulation. It is akin to a clerk checking the name and numbers on ID card but not bothering to look at the picture and the person. I was after-hours in a largeish (for this market)...

As I read the monsterous OP my blood pressure started boiling: another who wants to convert a professional expert system OS into consumer drivvel...so after reading all the responses I'm somewhat calmed by those who are attempting to talk OP off...

FreeBSD supports serial console, so colorizing outputs could cause boots to slowing down (even if video console is fast enough, kernel / init and following rc scripts need to wait for output to serial console to finish) if serial console is...

You might consider focusing on this for the time being. Understand it well, experience its pain points so that you are better informed and can explain clearly how a new method will improve things. Even better, build a prototype and present some...

I am still trying to understand how this would make the init system better... 🤔

Adding moving parts to a system for aesthetic reasons is not the most attractive proposal I've ever seen. Improvements are always welcome, but aesthetics aren't exactly a factor for a system that is more often than not managed remotely over SSH...

balanga Of course. It's all software. The hardware doesn't matter.

Is it possible to create a jail on a VPS?

I still believe ME is a bogeyman. The situation that arose is due to everlasting waterfall of server-chip features into consumer chips. But server motherboards are far more expensive. Only the lowest of them had a single 1 GB interface back then...

pkg search mysql and then grep for anything in that but I don't see anything called mysql-community-server

The best thing about BSD is that it doesn't really change drastically in a decade. So not only did they bump the thread, but they will also be disappointed.

Bumping an almost 10 years old thread? really?

Depending upon your systems, it should be fairly easy to make a bhyve install, using uefi as loader, for both. A very old article by Greg Lehey, once summed it up well. He wrote to look at their slogans. OpenBSD's slogan at the time was something...
