Thanks for all help, and thanks for the label tips, that's really great! 🙏

One can easily add the distribution sets on the memstick.img, assuming the USB disk is >1 GB in size. After dd the image on USB, gpart "resize" the "freebsd" slice and the "freebsd-ufs" partition in the "freebsd" slice, growfs the "freebsd-ufs"...

Re-lay it using partitions of exactly the same size with a 4-way mirror in one pool. Figure out the maximum identical partition size you can use (one which fits on all disks). Destroy the unused mirr_slave. Start constructing the new pool with...

Yeah, I see. It was not perfect to combine the two slower drives with faster ones in one pool. But anyway you need to see: Having four drives in one machine saving the same data - one two drives mirror will be the backupped to the other two...

See for workaround of "Compx 2.4G Receiver Mouse": Re: USB mouse stops working after upgrading to FreeBSD 15.0 It seems the 15 branch is affected but not 16: https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-questions/2026-February/007510.html...

After making the changes above my ssh session becomes disconnected and subsequently I can no longer use ssh. When logging in via VPS console, I see the changes were made but I can no longer ping 8.8.8.8. Running route add default 168.235.83.1...

In /etc/rc.conf: But in spite of it: fcgiwrap_socket_group="www" is being ignored. The problem is sure in the rc.d script.

When adding the following to /etc/rc.conf cloned_interfaces="bridge0" ifconfig_bridge0="addm vtnet0 up" ifconfig_vtnet0="up" and running service netif restart the system hangs. Is this to be expected? This is on my VPS host using a static IP...

Thanks Dizzy. ReadyNAS support sunset was a couple of years ago, sending an update which included closing the app store option. Its been a real set and forget NAS box solution. The only app I installed was a resilio sync app due to...

You are right ... probably when I was trying to fix other issue I introduced 'new' bug - will take a look into it - thank You for finding and sharing this. % gpart show nda0 => 40 1000215136 nda0 GPT (477G) 40 532480...

I suspect OP is used to Linux naming conventions and this was a typo.

That's a version that doesn't exist.

So basically you won't take the time to learn how to code, and expect the developer to waste time and read at your bullshit AI generated code which will then taint the mind of such developer reading it thus preventing a clean room...

More specificity about what this topic is even about would be appreciated. I personally use borg for one set of my backups on a remote computer.

I add operator on desktop for xfce whiskermenu buttons to work, but don't know if it's useful anywhere else (I don't add it on server) I like lsblk output for notes but get more use with df -Ht

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

NapoleonWils0n You do get loads of admiration and appreciation from me at least. You and vermaden have the knowledge I wanted to have when I first started out with FreeBSD but got side tracked running a business. Now that I'm sort of retired I...

The reason you have wait is because new software often requires new dependencies which may not be in the be in the in the quarterly or latest branch Software also has to be ported to Freebsd and tested for bugs and security issues Thats why...

Oh baby it's cold outside. Le sigh.

Banned where? In Belgium? In the US the problem isn't inclusiveness, in the US he's frowned upon because he didn't worry about consent. But as you imply, these forums aren't the place to discuss it.

I am not a junior, even though I am a newcomer to FreeBSD. And no, I do not have neither Unix background nor Linux experience. I am not a programmer at all, and I do not have any sysadmin skills either. I escaped MS Windows 11 in favor of FreeBSD...

I really don't understand people having a problem with this. A person saw what they felt was a problem, came up with a solution and offers it to the community. Noone is being forced to use the tool, feedback has been welcomed, discussions have...

I'm not using any social media of any kind at all. I prefer to meet people in real life, keep training my social skills as a social being and not become quixotic. This forums is the only exception for me, since I want and need to keep in touch...

It's not only a dependancies matter, the ports tree subdirs Mk, Templates, Tools, and others must be present to have a functional compilation of ports. Better to have all the ports tree installed

Just to answer to that. You didn't see? Look into this forum and you will find many disasters. Most of them came from the text we got after zpool upgrade (fortunately, this text has been removed) where it advised to gpart bootcode da0p1 or...

T-Aoki, you are one of those I call "knowledgeable people", but kind and open-minded. That being said, it's not always easy to follow you in the details. It appears to me that you added more complexity where I saw some relative simplicity (ok, my...

Assuming you mean on RamNode, yes you need a default router. I don't recall how I found out what mine was or that I even needed to use it but it was probably from instructions found on their web site's documentation. If my address was yours, my...

Well I prefer using the port. With make find-new-version I can also easily fetch the latest version. Sorry.

Every single one is a fork of VSCode and while VSCode does run on FreeBSD, it takes a ton of patches to make it work. If those patches where up-streamed, this wouldn't be such a problem.

baaz thank you for the offer to help. Anyhow when switching from Wayland/Plasma back to Xlibre/XFCE, all of a sudden, it started to work with i915kms. So, problem solved - changing background and power management now work. One thing I noticed...

I would like to change the IP setup on my VPS from dynamic to static and am not sure what changes I need to make. Is this OK? Ifconfig_vtnet0="168.235.83.***/24" Do I need defaultrouter/gateway settings? Presumably I will need to create...

"Le sigh" as Pepe Le Pew would say.

Side note: I drove out to my brother-in-law's house today and, on the way, we passed by a new Google data center they're building next to the highway. That thing is HUGE!!! And they're building one for Amazon not far from it.

that means: you do whatever you want / whatever you think it suits you.

you do you ;)

What kind of installation system packages are you referring to? Distribution sets (base.txz, kernel.txz, src.txz, etc. ), previously stored in /usr/freebsd-dist but not included anymore since 15.0, following the transition to pkgbase, or pkgbase...

You need the package tex-formats.

Just a heads up: Claude code from ports also works under Wayland (plasma) after I disabled animations by setting the animation speed to "immediately". Obviously the claude code session in plasma konsole did not like when those effects were...

I'll try a static IP address and see what happens.

Stopped jail due to DHCP failure"Stopped jail due to DHCP failure" is a common FreeBSD jail error. It means the jail was configured to get its IP via DHCP, but dhclient failed to obtain a lease, so the jail was stopped. Why it happens with VNET...

I use IOCAGE at home on an internal network and IP addresses are assigned to 192.168.0.*. Maybe it doesn't need updates because it isn't broken. There is a github page with some recent updates:- https://github.com/freebsd/iocage All this...
