It was on. But what does X11DisplayOffset 10 mean?

IPv6 uses ICMP for things like neighbor discovery, which is somewhat equivalent to IPv4's ARP (plus a bunch of routing stuff).

X11Forwarding is turned off by default in sshd_config.

I never use X forwarding, but I remember that the DISPLAY var needed a local ip code. it might have changed. How else does a program know where the output screen is? Just tried xgalaga via a ssh -X -Y connection. Authorization required, but no...

No, $DISPLAY is managed by the ssh connection establishing. Don't touch it.

There's kits like this: Cherry MX2A Experience Box And different vendors like DUROCK

No need to install it, it's included with the base OS. Also highly recommend sysutils/vm-bhyve, it's a nice collection of wrapper scripts that make creating, configuring and running bhyve VMs a breeze. Enable EFI boot and graphics for the VM...

-X and -Y are really just conveniences. You can manually forward X11 sockets, setup the xauthority, set DISPLAY easily enough. The real strength is in X11 and its network transparency. So even if you are using a weird / proprietary ssh/sshd...

One of the founders of AI in the USSR was Alexander Kronrod -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Kronrod I have one of his books, written in 1964 and published only in 2004.

where we come from none of those are polite ;)

I think the remote machine also needs to know a target display for most prograns because it's not the default monitor..

I'm aware of that. But I highly valuate cracauer@'s opinions, thoughts, and ideas. Frankly I actually don't know about OpenBSD - actually it was more of a thread to leave FreeBSD if done so, and I rate those Open-guys more...

I use X forwarding sometimes. It uses a regular sshd that is already installed in the system. You just need to add the options -X -Y and as SirDice says: your "remote machine" just need an X application.

There are various automount options, sysutils/automounter for example, that will try to detect the filesystem before attempting to mount it.

I have had this working for around six weeks but it no longer does. There was a power cut yesterday which may be the cause of the problem because some service did not get restarted. What should I check?

The system you are connecting to does not need a working X server, the X server runs on the Mint clients. The application runs on the server and connects over the SSH X forwarding to the X server running on the client. The application runs on the...

I am not an AI hater. I don't just look at it within a single point of view. Today's AI/LLM can be seen as very large collections of expertise. When you just look at it this way, there is nothing wrong with it, but being a good thing having...

ssh -X and ssh -Y set a suitable $DISPLAY variable automatically on remote login. You can call any old X11 image viewer (unless the viewer is SDLed but that is rare).

Ok, so it is da0s1 here (because it's MBR). But it's not UFS, so a mount /dev/da0s1 /mnt/storengo isn't going to work. Unlike the mount command on Linux FreeBSD's mount will not automagically pick the right filesystem. Guessing it might be ext2...

Putty has no builtin X server. Never had. I suspect you meant the application you tried to run was built without X support (i.e. no GUI).

Ehm, no. Suppose your web application gets hacked. Then they'll have access with the www user, if this user has write access to the document root (or other directories) they'll have all the access needed to completely wreck your website, insert...

I have literally never seen a ssh binary on any BSD or Linux with that compiled out.

Will work fine.

Don't need much, it's a typical X-forward. Usually works right out of the box (provided you enabled X11Forwarding on the SSH server).

Spammer that I am, I'll mention my page on vm-bhyve. https://srobb.net/vm-bhyve.html. It also has a link to vermaden's page.

I did not write this, I just linked to it.

pkg fetch -o /tmp postgresql-server17 cd /tmp/ mkdir pg-upgrade cd pg-upgrade tar -zxvf /tmp/All/postgresql*.pkg This will fetch the postgresql-server17 package that was built for 15 (and thus doesn't depend on various libraries from 14.x). And...

cracauer@ just wanted to say that I think this is an excellent guide, and it should be official. Thank you for writing this - I will be using it from now on for the other projects I'm involved in. 👌🏼

It seems very reasonable and it provides very good information. In sum it says: AI is an unreliable tool, but it can be very useful sometimes. You may use it, but not blindly. In any case, you remain responsible for the results. Also:

Just a proposal: https://www.delphij.net/temp/ai-guide.html ETA: to clarify - this is not official. It is one person's proposal.

Hello everyone, I have not been able to play Steam games for a long time, first ,the problem was the linux-steam-utils moving away from linux-c7 to linux-rl9, because my CPU did not support x86-x64-v2. So after a while I bought a new combo which...

Heh yep. Sometimes its also down to the machine. I look at it and when it looks outright miserable with all of my various bodges to keep it limping along. I feel a bit sorry for it and then put it out to pasture. Ugh, that is a bit crap. GPUs do...

I found the will to keep software running within my tolerance level until nature calls that it's time to move on.

What you want to avoid is a board that has sited an e-cap right next to the heatsink, like this PNY graphics card. This kind of crappy physical layout is just asking for trouble. The places where you're going to find these are audio amplifiers...

Yes, that did it! Just the USB (which contained Ventoy and had the FreeBSD 15.0 live DVD) had to be unplugged. It now boots into the migrated system. At first it was going straight to mountroot but it was because I still had the mountpoint for...

Kali is just another distribution of Linux. It does have some tools to make your life easier (venom generator). Not sure if pwntools is installed there by default. I personally never used it, I stayed true to my favorite Linux distribution. But...

If you own a HP printer now that is proper advice.

It's not. I forgot which Web tech doesn't work with it but it works now.

nvidia-smi and glxinfo -B both show the GT 1030 working with the 580.173.02 driver ungoogled-chromium works chrome://gpu looks healthy I've tested Linux Google Chrome 150.0.7871.186 which seems fine with hardware acceleration (ANGLE + NVIDIA)...

Hi Espionage724, It depended on the keyboard. Sun Microsystems keyboard that I had a long time ago had a rather long travel but the switch appeared to activated before bottoming - if my memory serves, so it did not need to be fully depressed...

Do you bottom-out (key press as far as it'll go) or feel the switch? Efficient typing would be feeling the switch and hitting keys lighter, but I've only heard rumors of people typing like that :p But it'd determine loudness too (switch-feel...

I've been a huge fan of Cherry keyboards for most of my life; they're seriously robust and they make all kinds of different designs. Even got a server keyboard which has a mousepad build in (which also wasn't all that expensive either). Good to...

Keyboards using Cherry MX switches are excellent. The switch color determines the amount of actuation forced required.

Different companies make different switches I believe. Cherry are well known, they were more dominant a few years ago when I went through my keyboard choosing phase. Now, I fear I don't really know the pluses and minuses of various brands of...

Assuming that you have graphics/linux-rl9-vulkan, can you run /compat/linux/bin/vkcubepp and report which gpu was selected. Was it the nvidia one, or the non-accelerated llvmpipe ? I am assuming that you have installed the x11/linux-nvidia-libs...
