It can be done with software. Adjust the hardware to approach the same but with the existing physical circuitry if possible. It might need a memory bank for the stack of this construction.

A fools errand. No mmu, still 16 bit address bus, no caches...

Yes, it will :) In fact, you can always make a simple test script to try it out when you are not sure: /tmp/test #!/bin/sh pkg inst -n php84 \ mod_php84 \ php84-session $ /tmp/test The following 5 package(s) will be affected (of 0...

As long as you have no trailing space after the backslashes, yes.

There is some errors:

We need a 64-bit system of 8 Z80s in line with interconnected buses and registers to run a BSD kernel. The opposite of multiplexing. What's this called? :cool:

I am just curios did anyone here are using Krita? Do you have any problems after recent Krita upgrade from 5.2 to 6.0? Now when starting Krita I see "snapshot" of my windows/desktop instead of Krita user interface (take a look at screenshot...

Right now the age restrictions only kick in for non-root users that have their accounts set up by an adult root user. So you don't have to have an immutable OS. Of course the local privilege escalation security bugs and the smartness of some...

Coding fun. In Rust. Somebody didn't experience the full power of Lisp yet.

How do line continuation character work in a shell script? Would the following be executed as expected? sudo pkg install \ php84 \ mod_php84 \ php84-pdo \ php84-pgsql \ php84-gd \ php84-mbstring \ php84-opcache \...

Reinstalling is defeatist. Never reinstall.

While I agree that the age verification is a "foot in the door" thing that will escalate to further ham-fisted legislation I don't share phk's view that this will go all the way to making OSS operating systems impossible or useless.

Thank you guys. I followed your recommendation now I have my own build environment that I run against the Ports tree… 🙏

Agreed. Horde open-hardware today. I knew my collection of Thinkpads, NetVistas and other ancient kit would pay off. I probably have enough now, it can see me through to retirement.

I use /usr/local/www/blog with nginx

Don't use /usr/local/www/apache24/data, that's all I can say. It's where Apache's default "It works" website lives, leave that as-is. Same for /usr/local/www/nginx/ with nginx. I like /usr/local/www/<mywebsite>/, for example...

What directory do people use on apache for DocumentRoot? I'm think about various applications such as Wordpress. Some examples I've seen use /usr/local/www/wordpress others use /usr/local/www/apache24/data/wordpress. I realise both will work...

Sure, I agree. I have explicitly bought Intel to avoid the AMD hassle.

I have never included a patch, so I am not sure what to do exactly. Does this mean I have to recompile the kernel? So if I come from the readme here, https://github.com/jsm222/drm-subtree/blob/15-CURRENT/README.md what steps do I need before I...

Then it is likely that the second battery isn't capable of delivering enough power matching the high load that building packages does. Or it is the switching circuitry that isn't capable of delivering such power output during the switching.

you can try to include this patch You can try to apply https://github.com/jsm222/drm-subtree/blob/15-CURRENT/pbp-kernel-extra-patches/sys_dev_iicbus_es8316.c, do not know if it will work on non arm..

Boot to single user mode and remove that kld_list from rc.conf. Then it should boot normally again. I suspect you unintentionally installed the drivers for 15.0 instead of 15.1 (drivers in FreeBSD-ports are newer than in FreeBSD-ports-kmods)

The reason FOSS is a time-limited concept is that eventually all processing machines will be closed boot, meaning they won't run unless they are started with a license key. So devs will have to "register". Looking for an example? Look no...

In the old days they would add on pedals and call a scooter a moped. Some way to let kids ride legally on the road. It was a scam. They are defiantly struggling here with regulation. Kids on Golf Carts are all over neighborhoods. They are not...

This outcome of a walled garden is what is seen as "user-friendly". Loads of people are asking for that kind of crap, even on these forums (easy installers, easy init systems, easy gui tooling). You can't escape it unless you migrate to a...

Pkgbase is different ok But to say that the procedure is complicated is surprising from some users who are administrators And they have been for years To say that everything is mixed up is false There is always a separation between third-party...

I couldn't care less. Minor upgrades are quite fast and for release-updates one is planning a reasonable downtime anyways. This sounds like that bogus and completely useless "it boots faster" argument we all heard once... A tried and proven...

It's still optional. It just uses the same tools for updating the system as we use for packages. Right now, you can stick with freebsd-update if that's what you're comfortable with, but on the whole the pkgbase seems to be fine. You don't have...

BTW, I never heard of Pkgbase. Is there any specific benefit over freebsd-update? I am not completely new to FreeBSD, but I had a long pause, and when I left I wasn't exactly an expert.

TBH, I wouldn't personally bother trying to move disk partitions over, even when it does work it can get messy. If you've got the option, it's probably the most straightforward to just do a completely new install on the new disk and then transfer...

Your experience was rather different to mine. I felt the process was better. The first host was slower than the subsequent hosts. I had things to learn and questions to ask. But then, I also had similar questions over my years of using...

Hi, reading the comments: I am using UFS, as I am limited on RAM and I understand the logic of it much better. I am on 15.0-Release 9 And I am using BIOS, not UEFI For what I read, It would be better to reinstall, I might want to find another...

The ends are invisible operating system background processes. The user is only a user. People really buy this, unfortunately.

You can strip it down. List all related executables and binary dependencies. What's left is program-specific expectations. Does a config file or directory has to exist somewhere? Currently having a similar problem. My firefox install stopped...

I am quite aware this forum is for FreeBSD. I am asking other FreeBSD users if they have experienced a similar issue. I'm pretty sure that's very clear in the post. At any rate, that matter has been resolved. KVM's latest version requires...

That is the "tail" (for lack of a better word) of the boot script that ran when you started the machine.

Does this mean new-WoW64 will work on next Wine release? (looks merged a few days after 11.13) https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/8073

You're asking for a list of interfaces here, not a list of ioctls. I believe, in order to obtain a list of interfaces, it ought to make an ioctl request to the controlling device, and this request fails, that's what the error about. The only...
