That built-in ECC is worthless. It just hides errors. There are real ECC DDR5 modules. Both registered and unbuffered.

Correct. Regardless of the method of contributing, the contributor has to understand the code in question. This doesn't change with LLMs.

LLMs are really good at: - Discussing ideas. - Generating skeleton code. - Creating unit tests. - Documentation. - Review. - Finding bugs. It's like having a second opinion, even a third. It's up to you if you want to also delegate the fun. We...

My GitLab instance is private, so exposing it and extending an invite to give you access to the code would be a tad more work than I can do right now. So, instead, let me see how far I can get pasting code here…

I am not interested in any private data - just the GitLab/Jails configs/setup - nothing more :)

What is hitting swap is memory that was unused for longer than the file contens. The kernel pushes out stuff like that xterm you have on that 27th workspace and uses that memory for cache. Inactive memory is half-free memory. It can be claimed...

For those who stumble across this: inactive memory is the file cache. It is memory which is associated with a vnode (virtual file system id of a file on the system) and has known content. So instead of re-reading that part, the pages get...

Free memory is just a waste of resources. Inactive memory is a memory marked to be freed in any time and is used as a cache.

(Please correct me if i am wrong!) Having inactive memory is a normal state. Inactive means Memory who is allocated by some program but not accessed for a time. Maybe the memory owner is idle or sleeping. This memory is marked for being moved to...

Dont worry, FreeBSD manages it beautiful way, for you =)

Hello, I'm writing a software in C. As you know, in C we don't have standard library provided hash tables, so I'm relying on a header-only library that I found on github. While designing this software I was very careful with memory: I...

symlink POSIX does have standard hash tables hcreate. You can create multiple tables with hcreate_r. Regarding your implementation, if you are looking at the memory use from the system's perspective, you may see it as leaking memory. FreeBSD...

ssh is more than remote login. It is is a generic encrypted TCP pipe. look up "scp" command. It can also be used to tunnel other protocols thru the encrypted channel as a client/server proxy. ftp has fallen out of favor in recent years since...

It's not that it would cause problems for grep, it's that there's no reason to have colorized output when the system works just fine and if your watching the output then you probably expect something in particular to be going wrong that the...

I'm not sure what this means, but I now have an old PS/2 keyboard connected to my desktop, and now it is able to wake up from suspend with just a simple tap on the keyboard.

NAT is not difficult. For example, your home router to your ISP is doing NAT (unless you have an unusual setup).

Correct. Regardless of the method of contributing, the contributor has to understand the code in question. This doesn't change with LLMs.

Last I head NetBSD has a strict "no" on LLM generated code. Dunno about reviews, documentation etc.

The question is 1) If Free- / OpenBSD runs on them. I just installed ubuntu what they offer. 2) If you do not use it, they take it away. Better to pay and have no stress.

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...

Can this be adapted to apache? I don't know anything about caddy.

Should be doable with for example Caddy as reverse proxy: Example Caddyfile below. # GLOBAL SETTINGS { email your-email@example.com log { output file /var/log/caddy/access.log } } page1.com, www.page1.com { reverse_proxy...

Hello, there is no radeon xorg driver only amdgpu for the new cards. Try to stick with modesetting. Driver "radeon" --> Driver "modesetting" or leave the config folder (xorg.conf.d) empty. BTW the correct path for custom xorg config files...

Since yesterday I am here: https://numberfields.asu.edu/NumberFields/

pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD

This sounds quite complicated. I need to find an article showing how to do this, Maybe vermaden has written something illustrating how to set things up.

This means little. What people want to fight against is "vibe coded" software or PRs. LLMs still have a ton of great usages around programming. What people also want to fight against is taking the humanity out. This is not feudalism, we're not...

If it's open, then why still require a company?

No, only init is started, but that doesn't start /etc/rc, thus none of the rc scripts are executed.

None at all. Only the kernel is started, that's it. Boot menu is shown before the kernel loads, menu is a feature of loader.

My VPS runs 6 jails, those are 3 different websites, all on 1 single 'external' IP address. You can do this (http/https) without NAT if you leverage a reverse proxy on the host. The reverse proxy can switch backends based on the HTTP/1.1 Host header.

You want to learn about NAT (network address translation).

Yes. It is not true that you have only one IP address: you have only one public IP address, but you can configure many local IP address to associate to your jails. So every Jail can have their IP address. You have an host web server listening on...

Can I install a web server in a jail if I only have one IP address?

Personally, I would suggest commenting out any kld_list line in your /etc/rc.conf whilst doing a freebsd-update / pkg upgrade because of problems in getting you video driver sorted out in the process. Once you have finished you can restore the...

The train of saying plain "no" to LLMs has left the station some time ago.

It smells like a trojan horse. At the end, Claude takes over the entire project because it gained insight in every part of it and everything can be auto-generated and improved but beyond human comprehension. "Computer says it's like this."

Select single user mode in the boot menu.

How do I create a jail on a VPS which has a single IP address?

Hi loveydovey No problem, thanks your help 👍 😺

Oh, snap, you are right, sorry.

They found a toaster it does not run on.

I guess they're fixing lots of stuff found with LLMs. You can help with testing. In RC6 they fixed a coredump that I reported in `efi -v`.
