Check supersede option in dhclient.conf https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?dhclient.conf

also: is there a dns server/resolver running on localhost?

If you dont want dhcp changes, you can put this into /etc/resolvconf.conf: resolvconf=NO nameserver 127.0.0.1 <-- local-unbound? Did you try local-unbound-setup?

Great, thanks everyone. I'll make some changes and tests and get back soon again.

balanga turn on timestamps in your dmesg. sysctl kern.msgbuf_show_timestamp="2" or create a rc.conf script that responds to faststop by running uptime. See rc.shutdown.

To be honest, now that I have replaced the PSU, I am no longer particulary interested in how long the system runs simply off the battery, but have learnt a thing or two.

What Wifi card? And what driver is it using?

You can safely ignore whatever it's trying to do to /etc/passwd, that file is not important, its a relic from the past. It will get regenerated again from /etc/master.passwd (where the actual accounts live). Just make sure /etc/master.passwd is...

It's /etc/resolv.conf (without the e), but yes, that's very likely. Your defaultrouter will get changed too. Set defaultrouter if you use static IP addresses, don't set it for DHCP. DHCP typically sets the IP address, subnet mask, gateway address...

I have successfully set up a working FreeBSD gateway, but I can't get DNS to work from the gateway itself, when working in the shell. I'm not sure what's wrong, or what I miss, is DHCP on igb0 overwriting the resolv.conf file? This is what I...

If you're on 15.1 then you probably unintentionally installed the display drivers for 15.0. The ones in FreeBSD-ports are newer than the ones in FreeBSD-ports-kmods. But the drivers in FreeBSD-ports are built for 15.0, which won't work on 15.1.

15.0 or 15.1? That distinction is important. What does pkg version -vRx gpu-firmware show? Do you want Wayland or Xorg? If you're going for X use startx (as a user) to test, disable the display manager, for now. Then after startx (and likely...

Write simple rc script that run uptime > mytery_uptime_book.log Update your rc.conf accordingly and test it.

A pretty universally solution for this would be welcome. But I don't have small CUDA projects of my own, I run pretty large ones written by others.

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...

I’ve been reading this thread for a couple of minutes, and here are my thoughts. ?

For a serious effort (but that wouldn't do on screen) if you want to switch, the tryout period should be at least one month. A week is just playing a game.Just my 0.02 Eurocents.

Yay — that’s one of those background, “forbidden” units that taught me a hard lesson as well.

This certainly doesn't belong in the base system. That has to be as lean as possible to keep it compact. Its job is to provide basic functionality, not bells or whistles. As a port to be added for those wanting it, fine if someone is prepared to...

I got bluetooth working on my X220 a good few months ago, I was driving a pair of little battery powered bt speakers. I switched over to headphones and dacs and haven't bothered with bt for quite a long time now, but I did have it working.

I learned that hard on X470 with Rift CV1 PCVR and 4 sensors (Ryzen CPU-side USB went unstable with HMD and 1 sensor; my board luckily had separate ASMedia ports to offload around), and hearing others report issues on 500-series (and now a 600)...

CPU, memory and storage, the standard metrics are the most important. CPU load is interesting to watch but should be averaged out over a longer period of time. It's not that useful to add more cores if you only have an incidental CPU load spike...

IMO the SuperMicro boards are worth the money due to less hassles.

What should I keep an eye for measuring performance?

Aye, that's one of the neat things about a VPS or cloud, it can easily scale. So start small, keep an eye on your performance metrics and scale up if necessary.

I don't have anything related to bluetooth in rc.conf

If what you initially choose is too small, then you tell them you want more power. You're over thinking this.

A connection time out can take a very long time to actually happen.

How is the jail connected to the host network? 'Regular' or 'vnet' jail? Any firewall that might be blocking that IPv6 traffic?

Hi loveydovey Yes, I'm workaround to drop to kern_securelevel="1" and waiting update.😺 Thanks you a lot.😺

"pf is documented as only blocking some calls from level 2" (referring to securelevel 2). And also there've been some changes, it seems like: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D56390#1291673

How do I tell? I have a Lenovo bluetooth keyboard. How do I figure out if I can use it with my ThinkPad W520? # hccontrol -n ubt0hci read_local_name Local name: W520 (ubt0) Not sure what else I can use too investigate the capabilities.

It's still not clear to me what exactly happens over ssh in the OP's scenario.

Everything supports A2DP nowadays, so that's not an issue. The bigger question is, does bluetooth itself work on the laptop?

How do I find out if my chosen level of hardware is sufficient to cope with useage?

balanga, this gives one way to run a jail but using one public IP. (In answer to You clone lo1 (that's L o One, not lol), write a simple pf.conf and run the jails on one IP that goes to your router. If running it from home, use dynDSN or...

DirectoryIndex (i.e. 'browsing' through files in that directory) is turned off. Doesn't affect pkg though because it doesn't rely on being able to browse those directories. What is the exact error you're getting?
