I run in trouble resolving the full path of an sh (not bash) script or better, I want an "universal" sh function that resolve a path. I always used the following code to resolve a script path and always worked:

I tried to run one Windows program in Wine, which is installed in Jail. The program started and froze.
I thought it was a Wine problem and installed the program on Windows Server 2016, which is hosted inside BHyve VM.
It all happened again.

The snd_hda driver is included with the GENERIC kernel, you do not need to load it at all.

Both have their pro's and con's and both are here to stay.
For example, from a security perspective (I am very surprised that people throw words like "legacy", and what not around but totally manage to ignore this bit?)... alas: from a security...
I install each FreeBSD in BIOS+UEFI setting after choosing Auto (ZFS) option - but these times I mostly (like 95%) boot with UEFI - I just keep BIOS option as fallback ... not sure if that helps.
My current build is a SuperMicro X9SRA introduced in 2012 with UEFI 2.3.1 and legacy support.
I refuse to use Secure Boot and TPM which is under Microsoft certificate control.
UEFI has evolved significantly since my 2012 version so I stick with...
The two situations I have seen where BIOS fallback (i.e emulation) was needed were both on server graphics hardware:
Some graphics drivers require the BAR address which can only be done from real mode.
The EFI framebuffer conflicted with the...
Newer systems that have come out have better UEFI implementations. Though I do note that manufacturers still seem hesitant to strip BIOS emulation for a number of reasons. That by itself is quite telling.
Protected mode is not what you think it...
BIOS boot mode is here to stay. Ignore these "UEFI is the future nonsense". Some open source BIOS-es like core boot on protectli vault FW series is legacy mode only. And thats by design. And this was done for security reasons. Its just baffling...
It wasn’t so long ago that some users preferred BIOS boot over UEFI boot for its robustness and lack of issues. I’d like to know what the situation looks like today. What would you choose for a system on which only FreeBSD is installed? Is BIOS...
You can use esp32 etc for device control/sensing + zigbee or LoRA or Z-wave for comm + overall control via HomeAssistant. Websearch for hydroponics + homeassistant. If on the other hand you just want to play with this stuff, replace HA with...
If you were going to have a hydroponic setup, with BSD, either for controlling it, or using it to measure metrics of the system, how would you do it?
For lighting, natural lighting (through sunroofs) would be best as a supplement to additional...
AI/LLM models are surely fascinating, however are seriously broken, especially in terms of licensing.
GPL style licensing doesn't play very well with these models, but BSD style licenses might work better.

Maybe you'll find this interesting.
Note that, as far as I know, HardenedBSD is the "security centric" distribution based on FreeBSD with some additional security features, and (not all but) many of functionalities that FreeBSD looks lacking may...
NFC, try the following:
At the boot menu choose "3. Escape to loader prompt", enter at the "OK" prompt gop list. That should list all available screen resolutions in "mode <number>: <resolution>" listing.

fsck doesn't apply to zfs. Try running "zpool list" to see if the pool is listed. If not try zpool import to see if there's a pool that can be imported.

Moon Europa.
None of them have magnetosphere to protect me against 0.99c speed particles.
None have descent atmosphere.
None protection for uv.

After looking that up, backyard swimming pools are typically 10,000 to 20,000 gallons, or 38,000 to 76,000 liters. I thought hydroponics would be more efficient in water use than traditional gardening, but that's a lot. And I hear that it costs...
Hello world from XLibre on my recently upgraded FreeBSD 15 system.
Feels good. Let's watch a movie with the tear-free on.
Infinite thanks to baaz and co.
Wow... that's a big industrial-scale setup, by the sounds of it. Interesting project. I wonder if they can look into filterting and recirculating some of the water to minimise losses. 50000 litres per day sounds expensive.
Updates:
FreeBSD 15 packages have been added to the repository.
The README is now updated with better instructions + screenshots.
(I have also added an BTC donation link;);))
I had to temporarily disable the builds for the KDE ports...
What could be the triggering factor? It's unlikely to be temperature or volcanic matter because that's present on many places above the surface too. Pressure? There should be a correlation while looking at species around several of these vents at...
This was a topic that I felt needed it's own thread.
You've probably heard of X11Libre, and its backstory till now.
My position on the topic is that we need a well maintained X11 server with good security features, And That's X11Libre.

Hah, it wouldn't be classed as a workstation if it wasn't verging on being a health hazard.
That said... I am in a similar position; hence why I haven't contributed yet either.
Can you call that a workstation? Yes, I think so :)
Only "old" HP hardware, Z600 + Zbook 15G3, running only FreeBSD, used for programming.
I am very proud of this setup. It is perhaps a twenty-year-old dream coming true today. I am writing my...
The Europa theory seems to be boarding up against the problem of not observing any O2 anywhere. Sub-surface evolution?
It still may be life with entirely different metaboiism but not photosynthesis in an atmosphere.
Hell no. No way I'll clean my desk up only so you lot can see a generic laptop not burried in paper, coffee cups, game boxes, cables and more paper, pens and phones.
Works fine here on 15.1-RELEASE-p2 amd64, no core dumps.
Try installed packages upgrade. If already done, force reinstall devel/glib20.
My systems packages are from the "latest" package repository.

I believe Chromium uses ALSA that talks to OSS or Pulseaudio. Is there special configs done for Chromium? Also you can check using pkg info to see what audio supports it comes with.
When chromium runs do you see any userland sound daemon running?

zester Thanks a lot for the explanations.

Agreed. I think the top most common security breaches are:
Trivial passwords (ie. password123)
Tapping random unverified links.
Willingly granting sudo/windows elevation prompt to install/run unverified code from a random website or email...
Yeah, sometimes the whole security thing just sounds like an excuse, like the way they said X11 is insecure as an excuse to write Wayland. The truth is, I've never experienced any security incidents from X11, but got a ton more from supply side...
