Lack of audience? They probably only have to refresh the let's encrypt last human acttivity time.

I also recall it happening before. I imagine the admins just got busy and it will be fixed in time.

I use CloudFlare as a DNS resolver and it gives error code 536, Daemonforums SSL certificate has expired. I recall that this happened several years ago and, after several weeks, service was restored. In general, the site administrators are...

All the distributions with the same kernel can't distinguish for real. They are trying to glorify their own software construct but it works on any clean kernel + usual binaries.

Does freebsd run in a phone? Did you install it? Has it the drivers for everything there? I though there no alternative than a modified android.

Yes but now it seems you can't run anything from or on Linux unless it's within Docker which is my point.

All threads of this nature can always be consolidated into that one sentence.

All those version repositories can't be downloadable archives that are updated with the code commits?

From a user point of view the expectation is simple: we expect the supported FreeBSD versions to have matching packages that simply work without the need to rebuild ports manually. As an experienced FreeBSD user I know that currently what we have...

Can anyone recommend a FreeBSD pkg for converting speech to text?

If you want to ask that way, it is the biggest free operating system distribution project not under corporate stick. Take Debian for instance, 99% of their workforce is what we call port maintenance. Several thousand people may work on package...

Original article here. Consider this when replying. The third BETA build for the FreeBSD 14.5 release cycle is now available. ISO images for the amd64, i386, armv7, aarch64, powerpc, powerpcspe, powerpc64, powerpc64le, and riscv64 architectures...

14.5 will be released soon. And this story will continue with 14.4 packages vs 14.5 kmods, unfortunately. Although I don't think LinuxKPI changed much on 14.

Here it is. Contains all the latest sources, for every version. https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/

My path would be BACKUP then gparted LiveCD and move UFS to left and save and exit. https://gparted.org/ Then fire up the installation and resize with FreeBSD. You need to watch the FeeeBSD BOOTCODE. I see MBR in there....

If forgot that. It's pretty important. Can't it just assume the currently running release string by default? It still works with git too . But why is there no freebsd.org page that contains the last accepted kernel and base source? It's like...

Absolutely (I just copy&paste'ed the whole procedure, including the "mv" line, from the handbook). I myself use "src" ZFS datasets, ZFS clones of the (Git cloned) "main" branch source dataset to be exactly, to create different branch source...

This might not work if you have a ZFS system, /usr/src/ is a separate dataset and you cannot rename it this way. I'd just nuke it, no reason to keep a 'backup' of it, rm -rf /usr/src/* /usr/src/.[^.]*

Then don't use Docker for everything. I see people running Docker because...because...er...uh... I've read a number of articles where people seem to run Docker "...because you're supposed to. Aren't you?" and no other reason. On the other hand...

Please watch your language. This place isn't reddit and I hope it never stoops that low.

You're right, I was wrong. I was thinking of distrowatch Sometimes I would go to daemonforums to see if anyonoe posted there. After a couple of weeks sometimes there would only be three posts. It was a lonely place

Indeed. Why I think this kind of "small individual tools" approach works, especially for embedded (even on Windows) is that unlike standard (desktop) programming, which you can use i.e Visual Studio for everything, having to jump around e.g...

I appreciate you're trying to be thorough but you really don't have to post every minute detail on how you set up a VM or jail. We'll ask for specific details if something is unclear. Just post the jail's config, what you tried, what you expected...

It's funny, I was humming that song to myself the other day, thinking how much of it did and didn't come true. The album is from 1967, I think. For those who don't feel like clicking, it starts with My name is a number, a piece of plastic film...

It's primarily an OpenBSD forum. That is, 95% of posts are about OpenBSD, and Mike Lucas mentions the site as a resource in his OpenBSD book.. Not sure if @drhowardfine is correct--if we're thinking of the same person, not sure if that person...

Alright. Seeing as I’ve done this before, I agree that just installing suggested packages isn’t going to help. I need to know how to use them. I don’t know how to clone the drive into an image. At best my only experience with FreeBSD is...

Which file system is on the FreeBSD 15 server and backup / HA server? UFS2 or ZFS? Do both servers required a secure connection (e.g. they are connected via internet) or can the connection be insecure (e.g. both servers are on a local network)?

Confirmed, it's fixed in Firefox 154.

They also effectively killed CentOS for the community, which is why Rocky and Alma Linux came into existence. IBM is slowly following the footsteps of Oracle when they take over stuff like Solaris, ZFS, and MySQL. People like to shit on...

yes, it should follow the rules. Yes, polluting base stuff is bad. make a bug report?

The only one who would know is he himself (partly cause daemonforums runs on FreeBSD) who visits here occasionally so you can @ him to see if he responds.

Why would you use dd? Simply rsync the VMs over. Caveat: strictly speaking it isn't safe to copy the underlying raw device of a running machine.

Becasue its UNIX ! I spent my professional life supporting Unix System III , Unix System V UNIX sVr2, Unix sVr3 , Unix sVr4 , Solaris 2.0 , 2.4, 2.5 , 2.6, Solaris 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 and finally Solaris 11.4

That's the problem with Linux. Basically it's just a kernel with some wrapping. I don't understand why people run different flavours of the same thing. These flavours simply mask the failings in the underlying OS.

you may have to prevent pulseaudio from running also remove sndiod and let it uses oss natively to see if it helps.

Found some old junk when I was rummaging in the basement and put together an actual desktop. FreeBSD seriously need full support for CUDA. /grandpa

Works for me (Daily Driver Desktop): FreeBSD Release 15.1 / Firefox (latest/up-to-date). You might check to see if the remote site doesn't like your Internet source address -- I actually find that issues with the Internet source address are (A...

In embedded systems, if you don't master your build system, you don't master your system at all. For me, Geany with plugins + make + git + compiler/linker + loader strikes the right balance between "not too old" and "not too modern," while...

No its not Red Hat Its the Nixos package manager running in a Podman container on Freebsd It makes it possible to run Nix packages on Freebsd https://search.nixos.org/packages I have just got nix flakes working...

The Nix package manager can be installed on Freebsd using Podman https://nixos.org/download/#nix-install-docker doas podman run -it --os linux --network host nixos/nix Its also possible to enable flakes in the Podman container which allows you...

What I like is the author of the patch took its inspiration from sysutils/loaders-update as he quotes it. There are many things to realize. How to guess if the efi partition is mounted, if there are some symlinks in /dev. How to analyse...

I lost track of how gitup works or it has changed and no longer works in my build chroot. I don't like spending time on this. It tries 15.0 on a 15.1 kernel... What's the most simple way to get the latest FreeBSD 15.1 source tree?

I'm still investigating the issue, but maybe it will be helpful: the list of commits before my last stable/15 build and the current one:

I have a VPS with Vultr and have not had this issue, so maybe they have resolved it on there end. I created my VPS on July, 8th 2026.

Replacing /lib/libc.so.7 to one taken from the live system worked! bakul Thank you so much, mate you literally saved me! I wish I could give you 10 'Thanks' here :) Well, sure, I haven't figured out the cause of the problem yet, but at least I...

I already tried - didn't help (see first post).
