I'm just realizing with these posts that I forgot to abstract a couple of production Rail environment strings! All those should have been ${DEPLOYMENT_ENV} abstractions. That said, I admit that I tried to get a staging GitLab deployment going at...

jmpalacios Thank You very much for sharing this setup - it will take some time to process it, appreciated, take care.

With 4 disks all the same size, both RAID10 (two striped mirrors) and Z2 (distributed parity to multiple spindles) will give you the same capacity, but RAID10 write performance will be markedly superior. However, Z2 will have superior...

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...

can you try turning hardware acceleration off?

can you confirm your email client setting is correct or remove your account then setup again?

bumping this thread with a new question but related the thread: Can we have a "y/n/l' for 'yes no log' with the 'log' dumping the ENTIRE question to /var/log or the present directory, so one can view the THREE seperate lists [ to be removed...

They found a toaster it does not run on.

I don't recommend the Gigabyte Aorus Master X670E. The board has issues with the igc Ethernet driver, which can stop working once your USB keyboard or mouse begins rapidly connecting and disconnecting (that issues is caused by the usb extension...

Findings bugs is a joke... honestly the worst thing they do.

is there any hope or am I cooked?

Drawing heavy inspiration from Matthias Fechner's work on the GitLab port and deployment instructions, I took the approach of deploying PosgtreSQL & Redis services into standalone Bastille jails for each, and GitLab & Nginx services into their...

Yes. Neither is suboptimal automatic code generation. For FreeBSD I have no worries. Generally I have no worries for open source.

Well that's a standard user/pass auth you described and it is dangerous to use without a second factor, hence we came up with 2FA long ago... It is too easy to phish out passwords. Good point about older people - my folks are seniors too and I...

To be fair, that line of thinking is not new with LLMs. In FreeBSD you need to get your code, no matter how you came up with it, past a couple of reviewers. That won't be easy for debt code.

In Virginia, anyone who installs, services, or sells surveillance equipment must be licensed by the Department of Criminal Justice Services. I had to get licensed to work on commercial security DVR systems. Take a 16H course and have my...

rbranco and cracauer I generally agree but there is improvement to be done, some models are really docile and you can spin them around like a fiddle, so I've had hit and miss with the "conversation partner" and idea bounce sort of stuff. LLMs...

What does pkg repos show? Edit: Never mind. Same issue: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/question-about-pkg-upgrade.103196/post-766663 Only, in this case it's reversed. The packages in FreeBSD-ports are newer (20260519), but built for 15.0...

I don't see a particular problem there. If you really don't like it, there's no reason why you can't just use sed to add line breaks where you want them. Again, if you're trying to read that, then you probably have a reason for doing so that...

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/

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.
