I personally had to remove amdgpu from my rc.conf after I upgraded and then manually force upgrades of the installed software. I had it upgrade everything rather than trying to be targeted about it before rebooting and re-adding the entry to load...
BTW, If I do pkg search realtek-re-kmod, I get
realtek-re-kmod-1102.01.1500068_1 Kernel driver for Realtek PCIe Ethernet Controllers

I don't understand this. First. pkg version -vR gives the same result as pkg version -v.
If I do pkg bootstrap, I get
pkg already bootstrapped at /usr/local/sbin/pkg
The paper on sched_ule: https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/bsdcon03/tech/full_papers/roberson/roberson.pdf
Worth reading before turning knobs.
See also sysctl -d kern.sched.ule, and, of course, the source.
sched_ule tries to dynamically...
I seldom have to deal with user / group creation and modification. I tend to use primitive ways like vipw, vi /etc group or just use man to find a command and apply. The same with openbsd and with linux.
There is an inflation of commands, some...
Actually I have a ton of OS/2 books as I believed Bill Gates when in 1987 he said:-
"I believe OS/2 is destined to be the most important operating system, and possibly program, of all time."
I wonder if there is something like an OS/2 museum...
I'm having a problem understanding a subcommand of pkg.
If I do pkg verrsion -v | grep '<', I get
realtek-re-kmod-1101.00.1501000 < needs updating (remote has 1102.01.1500068_1)
and if I do pkg upgrade, I get

Not a bridge. A bridge is a layer 2 connection between two (or more) network segements. The laptop is a router.

Yes, physical and digital security are two different things. If you have reason to believe somebody malicious could get hands on access, then the digital security part must be done differently, with encryption and very large levels of prudency in...
I mean in a broader sense, not the technical "[to allow] unprivileged users to change process credentials" from mac_do. You see, before switching from MS Windows to FreeBSD I became a bit familiar with sudo on some linux machines at my job. My...
You should be able to observe the effect of it in top; low interactivity / cpu-heavy tasks should have their priority value go up.
The priority values are deli counter rules; lower values are served first.
It might be possible to use dtrace to...
Haven't tested it, but I have this in a update script:
rsync -a --no-times --checksum --checksum-choice=sha1 '/boot/loader.efi' '/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/bootaa64.efi'
Thats fine. Once they do finally drop X11 (maybe in a few decades?) then it won't be hard to pick up the slack. Have you seen the work required to maintain it on Win32? Its trivial and X11 / POSIX pathways are even simpler than that.
Certainly...
No need, it's not going to change anything. Ethernet will make it easier to update and install various other requirements but there's absolutely no need to completely reinstall the OS to make this happen.

Consider this when replying.
Teaching others about FreeBSD and helping it grow doesn’t require a developer background — it just takes someone willing to show up and talk about why this project matters. Whether that’s...
It would be great if we had a way to inspect this "interactivity score" on a per-thread or per-process basis.
I have concerns that CPU-heavy interactive applications such as web browsers might not be covered.
I'm trying different php modules
and have just got
but currently have a problem starting apache with these pkgs
cat << EOF | xargs pkg install -y
apache24
mod_php85
php85-mysqli
php85-extensions
mysql84-server
EOF
I thought I had installed everything needed when trying to login to 192.168.1.23/wordpress I get
php85-mysqli is installed but doesn't show up under php_info.php
There is a section labelled mysqlnd.
Anyone know what is causing the problem?
This is close to what I have been working on here:

For much of my uses, I generally do often skip the display server. Once libdrm (a pretty ugly API) had...

Ladies, gentlemen, and cyber friends,
recently I've had to install FreeBSD on a PC that did not have a wireless NIC,
and the router was so inconveniently placed that connecting directly via cable was out of the question.
So, I decided to...

Being at a point where you know what to look for and what it is about, I believe you can now start reading the source. ;) I't not so difficult:
$ find /usr/src/sys -type f | xargs grep -l preempt_thresh
/usr/src/sys/kern/sched_ule.c...
In order to make sense of these values, you need first to understand how timesharing was originally designed. There was only one core, and a HZ value (the HZ value is the timer interrupt frequency).
When the kernel starts a process, that process...
I think I have found the answer to why 223 is the suggested value. 80 is PRI_MIN_KERN. Look here https://wiki.freebsd.org/AndriyGapon/AvgThreadPriorityRanges . What to choose ?????
A short test seems like 171 is a good compromise on my system
Audiophiles shouldn't care about delay as long as it is constant.
Musicians on the other hand legitimately care about latency when they play and need to hear themselves. But there is a minimum delay you can't avoid due to sound being so slow...
My tool sysutils/loaders-update tells you if your current loaders are up-to-date or not with those in /boot.
For explanations concerning new loaders, you have the release notes and the gitup commits history. Nothing that will tell you...

Interesting question. I think LLMs are ready to understand Intel's optimization guide and generate (some) better machine code than the LLVM IR to machine can do. Not because the LLVM developers are dummies but because the framework for doing that...
At 1 day this might become a new computer science theory if it doesn't already exist. The problem with AI generating assembly code that targets particular hardware is that the user has to describe what he wants in (I estimate) exactly the same...
Hence, I installed now a mini AMD VM running FreeBSD. For me very usable.
I pay 1 EUR/Month for something much smaller (500MB Ram and 20 GB Disk, no possibility to run *BSD).
The real problem is to keep it loaded with work. And to put a DNS...
Not really time slicing; preemption. As in "process A is running, process B needs to run, scheduler does some math, some checking and says Yes, B can start running so I'll stop A and start B"
Timeslicing in general/simple terms is more of...
I'd likely have issue above 2ms :p
Would prefer input highest-priority above anything on desktop: if that's slow, then every interaction while on a desktop is slow.
Presumably this only matters when there are competing workloads, for example a `make world` in the background and a desktop in the foreground.
The code is not easy enough to read for me to instantly see how the "pri" value that this sysctl is...
The problem is that nVidia and Intel are against direct operation of graphics hardware and opetating systems don't like to admit that they just don't have the information for legal application.
These 2 should not be primary support target. We'll...
