I strongly agree with all three of those suggestions. The trick is to apply them in a way it doesn't interfere with your conveniences. This is where experience and expertise comes in. But also a little too much to ask of casual non-technical...

They are for different kind of personalities. The one for those that adapt to the surroundings, the other for those that adapt the surroundings.

It's an inconsistent statement. Where's the production? It also kind of clams that it's not possible to provide a free service. Better: When an online service is free , it can still profit on your personal information.

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...

Despite the fact that I no longer work with Solaris I still very much prefer using /opt whenever it suits the situation. A local Minecraft server? /opt/minecraft, my jails? /opt/jails and you can probably guess where this is going? ;) I also...

Neither is /var/www (it's typical on Linux though).

I have been using the default /usr/local/www/ (how do you make the paths green?) for so long now, that my brain is almost like a ROM, and since I moved over to ZFS, it's going to be REALLY difficult to "re-learn" allt the new paths.

That's crazy talk.

I try to use irc, but it's greatly changed. For example, #freebsd will have a few hundred people there, but no conversation. Sometimes if you ask a question you get an answer, but often you don't. I've also found that the #weeslack channel will...

Hello, On a laptop running FreeBSD 16-Current, boot is often halted with the messages: kernel: zfs: NOTICE: Cannot find the pool label for 'zroot' kernel: Mounting from zfs:zroot/ROOT/default failed with error 5. kernel: Loader variables...

If you have a number of isolated or 'emulated' desktop applications, do you have a way to launch them on click, preferably without intervention of fully open sudo/doas? My current setup is that I add my main user to the secondary user's groups...

cracauer@ I remember the last time I went there I got sucked into one of those things where someone wrote something obviously wrong about FreeBSD. I made a minor comment to correct him along with a link to the documentation. He continued to argue...

Same here. I have not intentionally gone there--I want to say for a decade or more--except when someone sends me a link and I didn't pay attention. One guy I know got in the habit of just copy/pasting what he wants to show me and email it to me...

Kept falling on deaf ears. So merged the whole lot.

For myself, I find Reddit sometimes useful when I have a specific question. Usually non tech type, like, Does anyone know the name of this film, X happened and then Y and I forget the rest. On occasion tech questions, e.g., there was a useful...

It's just far too easy to get sucked in to the stupidest arguments with the worst people on the internet.

If I remember correctly that was related to the signing keys of the packages. https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/relnotes/#upgrade-rc

I don't mind stupid arguments. The reason why I don't use Reddit is that the thread format makes it hard to cover everything without repetition when you visit the same topic several times. I don't have time for that.

For the record, Colin is not on core.

Nah, that would require visiting reddit :)

A guy who used to work for me asked him why he posts there. He replied that he's on reddit for other things--other subs--and only posts there cause he's in the neighborhood. No other reason.

Nah, that would require visiting reddit :)

It wasn't build by the committer, it is a binary by Microsoft.

It was discovered when the Github mirror process broke. Github will not accept a 150 MB file. It's a configurable thing. At $JOB we use Github Enterprise. It too will not accept files larger than 50 MB. They recommend GIT LFS. GIT LFS is just a...

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 had a 5.8GHz camera and receiver; could view a drone 1 floor up and a couple rooms over no problem. Also flew it around a house and a park past trees (didn't seem to have issue with signal without direct LOS; article mentioned trees with 5.8)...

Oh, and I should mention, that base.conf was pointing to "pkg+https://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/base_release_0" which I'm sure was another reason it wasn't going to 15.1.

Who of the core team is posting on Reddit regularly? And Deb is not on the core team. She's with the foundation.

It wasn't git's fault. To be honest I would have expected the whole chain of infrastructure to actually handle a 150 MB file. But my understanding is that some upstream pieces had an artificial 100 MB limit. So that is configuration, not a bug...

Reddit has all the people no one would pay any attention to otherwise. That's why they post there. Which is shocking and disrespectful to this forum and FreeBSD. Consider that Reddit gets one or two threads a day with one or two replies, and...

The problem of your VPS network setup is connecting the jails to the internet over a bridge, over a network interface with a public IP. You need to connect the bridge ("bridge0") to the internet facing network interface "vtnet0" with the pf...

It was 2004. I started there a month before you did. I was trying to get a business off the ground and asked a lot of questions, too, in between the multitude of spam posts. I'm surprised you don't seem to remember me. I was technically on my...

Thanks very much to all. Emrion extra thanks for giving it a go and actually trying it out. I took the leap and can confirm, enabling the sysctls as per SirDice and then kind of blindly changing the fstab to gpt, made also my machine reboot cleanly.

Oh-huh. If this what's presented on Reddit is what passes the "draconical" rules, than I don't wanna know what stunning insane, imbecile's crap else tried to be posted. 🤢 Psychology and Psychiatry treatment can only work in real life's personal...

Well yeah, that's the whole point of that character: He's funny because he gives a bad example of how not to behave. That's called a caricature. That's why he's a cartoon skunk. This could also very simply be seen by he always confuses cats with...

The "Coyote vs Acme" movie that is coming out in a month may be very funny. It may also be awful, but even awful is acceptable if it has coyotes, road runner, bunnies, porky pig, the big chicken, and tweety bird.

Ok, I mention it in this post. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/good-news-today.102946/post-763983, but the post was more about Nvidia. In my case, I had more than one machine, one updated properly the other didn't. The one that didn't had a...

I do remember having a similar issue. I'm trying to remember what I did to fix it. I think SirDice gave me the answer but I can't find the thread. If I do, I'll put it here.

They can be, though I do believe the release engineering team should first look into why they are consuming so much space. As a comparison, OpenBSD has a vastly larger base than FreeBSD (includes Xserver, drm drivers, web server, perl, etc). And...

You can enable it, even if you don't actually use it. jcw what does pkg info -x FreeBSD show?
