I opened a PR: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=296998

Original article here. Consider this when replying. The ports repository has been frozen to revert a very large commit. There is no concern that the tree has been compromised. More information about the freeze can be found on the 2026 Ports...

It's human beings being human. I've done this before. Even with non-computer related things. Totally understandable but also totally unforgivable. This can contribute to the medical condition called flat forehead syndrome. Which reminds me, I...

Somebody did a git add -A against a directory with a file they probably forgot to remove before committing and pushing. git show --name-status would have been a good pre-push check. Or git status prior to commit. Haste makes waste.

emacs.core is also mentioned in the 30th-anniversary. https://freebsdfoundation.org/our-work/journal/browser-based-edition/freebsd-30th-anniversary-special-edition/

I remember that time when a ports committer made a random import with lots of build artifacts including a work/ directory - and an emacs *.core file :)

Somebody fatfingered something. This also caused the inability to `pkg update` on releases this week.

Matrix has recently changed to their inhouse-built "Element Call" feature, so Jitsi isn't required anymore. It is/was a PITA to set it up anyways. Setting up element call is another challenge in and of itself, and pkg synapse itself is way...

They should send in the Alert-5 fighters and wipe out all the AI data centers. It is an threat to all mankind.. Destroy it now why you have a chance.

You seem to be missing my point. "Perfect" does NOT mean "feature rich". But when ports are allowed to install rc.d script (in separate place, not in /etc/rc.d/ but /usr/local/etc/rc.d/) at the first time (if I recall correctly, it was almost at...

Don't make it a big deal. Nothing came crashing down. Crackers aren't going to break into your server. You aren't even going to notice the problem beyond the freeze or this notice. It's a temporary fat finger that will be fixed by tomorrow or so.

On a Toshiba laptop, FreeBSD 15, interface Intel iwm0, module loaded in the kernel /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf OK /etc/rc.conf OK ifconfig -a shows wlan1 up w/ the correct SSID and IP address 192.168.1.46 OK However a ping response is : #ping...

You cross-posted it to freebsd-ports. Cross-posting itself is considered bad etiquette. It's not a port, it's not even an attempt at creating a port and it's not an issue with an existing port. So it has zero place on freebsd-ports. And the...

Yes.

Therefore this is not a tunable parameter, and it has to be recompiled?

/usr/src/sys/dev/hid/hid.h:204:#define HID_ITEM_MAXUSAGE 8

/usr/src/sys/dev/hid/hid.h:204:#define HID_ITEM_MAXUSAGE 8

Hello, I'm installing 16-CURRENT on a new machine (Acer Nitro V 15), and my dmesg is full of this line: hid_get_item: HID_ITEM_MAXUSAGE should be increased up to 17 to parse the HID report descriptor Where could I increase this value...

How about Reading "Avogardo Corp"?

I don't think HF can the seen as a competitor for OpenAI.

I need to find a solution to save them. I tested on another machine, it was the same. I always get: Edit: now I have

I wish we could see a spec for the original sandbox the thing broke out of. On first thought it doesn't seem too difficult to cut off outgoing network access frpm a container or VM.

It doesn't work! So much for AI !

rc.d mechanism in OpenBSD is much simpler, and people live with it. Features attract features ad infinitum. The beginning is: init is first run, it calls rc. The boot process much be comprehensible, reliable, and that is why simplicity is...

Why not Matrix + Livekit (Element-Call), which runs perfectly in FreeBSD.

According to GROK:- the end key does not work in doom emacs when run under tmux Thought for 61m 10s Yes, this is a classic issue — the End key doesn't work properly in Doom Emacs (or any Emacs) when running inside tmux. Why it happens Tmux...

I don't have that either.

Cute one.

Who is "we" and who is "the people". You speak like a politician from the elite ("we") that care for "the people". I indeed do not need "a parallel service framework", do not even know for what can it be good, but politicians like to tell...

I remember that time when a ports committer made a random import with lots of build artifacts including a work/ directory - and an emacs *.core file :)

I support the new rcd efforts and I support the choice. We need to have a parallel service framework. And people need to be able to use the old decades-proven script system. I will probably try to adopt it early, just like with pkgbase, to...

I thought I kept abreast of most major changes but today was the first time I had heard of rcd (on reddit of all places). I'm hoping it stays optional. It doesn't touch anything that's a concern for me so the extra process and configuration (as...

After more experimenting, when I use LxTerminal (the terminal which comes with LXDE) then the same behaviour occurs as it does with Xterm, ie emacs behaves normally when run directly from the terminal but when run through tmux the END key simply...

Summer holiday season?

The article was genuinely helpful. I didn't appreciate that zdb -bb <pool> was available to break down allocated space by block type. But it still seems to me that the initial sizing of a special VDEV is something a black art, since getting...

Original article here. Consider this when replying. FreeBSD, The FreeBSD Foundation, and The FreeBSD Forums are not associated with the content of this article.

FWIW, a zpool resilver seems to be easier on the foreground workload than a ext4fs on md raid resync.

Why not upgrade to 15.1 instead? Why keep using a legacy version for a desktop install? If you want the latest graphics drivers, use the latest FreeBSD version.

Correct. OK, I need some help here, as I don't fully understand. So, first I copy the C file into /usr/src/sys/dev/iicbus/? I take directory iicbus from what you are saying afterwards and as I found that directory in /usr/src/sys/dev/ which...

yes Edit: after unloading / deactivating in /boot/loader.conf, zpool import is working again. Thank you very much.

Yeah, it cascades really quickly. pkg install -A autoconf automake gmake pkgconf gettext-runtime This usually covers most of build dependencies. It should, at the very least, significantly cull that all-depends list.

You cannot bridge your jails with your external interface on your VPS. You do need a bridge (to attach your jails to) but it'll be disconnected from your external interface, so this "network" will be entirely local. Then you set up NAT and such...

I ran two theater companies, their ticketing, and a restaurant online ordering system on the same thing. You'll be fine.

Looks like I have screwed up the interface and can't even ping 8.8.8.8 from within my host. After removing the lines I added and rebooted I can now ping, but am no nearer to getting this working. This is what I have on my home server...

Has anyone set up an IOCAGE jail on a VPS?

If Valgrind is happy it is more likely a memory fragmentation issue.

Probably do sort -u to exclude duplicates.

Build dependencies here: /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg /usr/ports/devel/py-setuptools /usr/ports/devel/py-wheel /usr/ports/lang/python312 /usr/ports/devel/py-build /usr/ports/devel/py-installer Shown by make build-depends-list. The result of make...
