Well, now this bug reappeared at 153.0,2

Hi T-Aoki, you are correct, as my friend discovered, one cannot mix them. However, my confusion was about reading the specification as meaning that the non-ECC must be RDIMM and LRDIMM. Kindest regards, M

Not sure it applies to all hardwares, but if I recall correctly, every hardwares I've ever used supporting ECC and/or buffered (registered) memory modules (starting from SIMM) didn't support mixups of ECC/non-ECC and/or buffered/unbuffered...

I'm running Google Chrome on linuxulator to take classes online and noticed that audio will won't work if another browser on freebsd audio is playing so had to exit that browser to release the audio device. Since I'm running the audio driver...

Hi cracauer@, thank you for the reply. Yes, this appears to be consistent with my friend's claim that the non-ECC memory worked. What I was confused about that it listed only RDIMM and LRDIMM. In other words as long as the specification lists...

Some boards would take both registered and unbuffered memory.

Greetings all, I am planning to build another computer since a friend gave me some DDR4 memory, that came from his Supermicro X10ADi motherboard. Regarding the System Memory, the specification lists Memory Capacity as: 1TB 3DS ECC/non-ECC...

I think it's fine while creating the db through mysql, but the actual WP config site page should have 127.0.0.1 Not too sure how to see a log, but I'd try recreating the DB and use IP instead of localhost on WP. You might be able to do...

I have been trying all sorts of things so error msgs from apache are no longer a problem. It's Wordpress that is failing, that is, after I enter the database details into Wordpress.

I don't think mdo is made to be a sudo or doas replacement. I believe it is made for things like services to switch users for subprograms. This way, the original service does not have to be root in order to assume another user's credentials, and...

Quoting fernandel 's linked article.

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...

Purpose of mdo is to not rely on setuid programs (sudo, doas) for privilege escalation. Binaries with setuid bit come with their own surface attack. But as you mentionned, mdo cons is that it won't prompt for auth (at least for the moment). Maybe...

If mdo is not secure enough, and you want to avoid GPL software, security/doas from OpenBSD is a great alternative.

This is how it works. Your characterisation of the risks is accurate. If you want gated access to root, su - is probably better.

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...

I'm running Wordpress in an IOCAGE jail. Here is how I setup mysql to handle Wordpress: #install wordpress database in mysql iocage exec $JAIL mysql -u root <<EOF CREATE DATABASE wordpress; CREATE USER wp_user@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'wp_pass'...

Not sure if it's related, but did you use localhost or 127.0.0.1? I had issues with localhost

I'm making some progress but the installation process from within Wordpress has failed after entering database details. There has been a critical error on this website. Is there an error log which gives me a clue about this critical error ...

It has plenty of spaces like LWN. It also had Groklaw in the past when they had the water in the neck. And in the worst case scenario it wouldn't be hard to fix. We geeks should discuss geek stuff and leave lawyer stuff to lawyers.

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...

In periodic daily I try to determine which pkgs need updating. Then I update by hand.

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 realtek-re-kmod198-198.00.1500068 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 Updating...

Maybe this one?

Not a bridge. A bridge is a layer 2 connection between two (or more) network segements. The laptop is a router. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_bridge

That's going to bite you when the python version changes. Install lang/python3 instead.

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'

No, I'm implying you do NOT need to reinstall the OS from scratch to make some configuration adjustments, it's not Windows.

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.

Original article here. 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...
