The command which -s minidlnad print nothing, set exit code to 0 if minidlna exists and in PATH, otherwise 1. To print out the result remove the -s option

I remember minidlna automatically refresh the datatbase when I istalled few years ago (I do not remember when, 13.x-RELEASE/14.0-RELEASE?), then after an update (port and/or system) stop auto updating. I was new to minidlna, I thought I made a...

.. and what you said about getting a new address makes sense. When you get an ip address from a router or whatever other source is handing them out, they're generally tied to the mac address of the interface. Once handed out it's called a lease...

With version 15's new VLAN aware bridges, we only need one bridge at the host level and one epair per jail to handle networking for every jail's needs. Prior to version 15, when I was trying to build a vnet jailed gateway with a handful of VLANs...

Well, if you use AI as a tool, rather than look at it as brains, it can help. Even Linus Torvalds used AI to help him debug an Intel Xe GPU driver - and FreeBSD is gonna benefit from that. Even KDE Wayland on FreeBSD had a bit of help from...

I was looking myself for VLANs documentation recently and found the following blog tutorial with detailed configuration examples. (it also includes VLAN and Jails). Perhaps you find it useful as I have...

Sure. # First create the bridge ifconfig bridge create That outputs something akin to `bridge0'. Once you have the bridge name you can: # Add the em0 interface to the bridge interface (assuming bridge0) ifconfig bridge0 addm em0 # Bring up...

Only j65nko was running the site. I talked to him briefly at the start of the year and he was dealing with terminal cancer. I don't have the details right now as they were in a PM on daemonforums, but I seem to recall "a year and a half at the...

Ah yes, DrJ! Introduced me to RPN calculators. I remember I posted some old nVidia video cards to him. I wonder how he's doing – from what I recall he was in his 70s, and that was almost 20 years ago.

I can respect projects that do not adopt AI such as NetBSD. I do see both sides of it. With NextBSD in only a short time I have been able to: * Port all the popular KMS GPU drivers to kernel extensions with plists the kernel will autoload via...

I played a little with FVWM. Works fine :)

I installed FreeBSD for the first time two months ago. Perhaps someday my desktop will look as amazing as the ones in this thread.

I don't have any book recommendations unfortunately. I've been doing this on FreeBSD for 30 years roughly now and 'just know'. Sorry about that. But what I can do is try to explain it a tad. A vlan is for all intents and purposes a separate...

I do not know it it is the right way to make this task. I have a script that do the job (refresh minidlna database), the run it in a cron job every day at 06:00AM. The script should be improved to check if the cathalog is changed (with a list of...

Wayfire, waybar and hours setting this up I sometimes use a live wallpaper with mpvpaper just to show off.

Let me know if it worked.

Right, that changes things. ;) So talking strictly about the port connected to your switch, since it's not vlan aware, you just stick that port in bridge0 without any crazy options, and DHCP off of bridge0. That'll give bridge0 an address that...

Anubis uses a javascript program that runs in your browser for detection. Make sure you don't turn off javascript when you wish to visit Anubis-protected websites.

I just run chrome linuxulator for this while you can try using widevine on chromium there seems to be a more stringent DRM level that requires you to use linux chrome.

I used to connect to the internet over USB tethering a few years ago. The devd configuration used then is still on my system (15.1-RELEASE-p2 now), and still working: /usr/local/etc/devd/usb_tethering.conf # Configure USB tethering devd event...

Tried it occasionally some time ago with optiion -M raspi3b with a working rpi3 SD image. It gives a black vm screen and the host cpu causes high load on all cores but nothing happens. I have no idea what the CPU is doing. Iy might be in a boot-loop.

A number of these are available in shells/zsh, shells/ksh93, and tcsh. So we have a number of ther shells which are more permissibly licensed. Some people care about this, others don’t.

Bash is superior to sh in most respects, but people don't realize it because they don't know what it's capable of. Just like the people that think vi is anywhere equal to vim, probably because they don't know about Vimscript. Here are some of...

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/linux-users/shells.html already gives an explanation, though it doesn't mention the licensing. OpenBSD uses a ksh variant, don't know what the others use, but I suspect that, along with...

When did this disabling of the build happen? Offhand I can't find the commit.

But you realize that even if you succeed you still invest a lot of resources into a dead thing? Don't you want your gained knowledge to be reusable?

I like to add, by my experience in the last ~5 years NVIDIA causes less problems than AMD cards. When I assembled my new desktop computer I had to replace the AMD based card because of not being supported at all, by a NVIDIA one which works. I...

That is very sad news. He was incredibly helpful on those forums, not to mention it's a horrible thing to happen to anyone. arp242, as you say, around 2008, so my memory might be hazy, but a member called DrJ and I were friendly and I think it...

T-Aoki, my wife often watches K-drama (with Japanese subtitles) and I've been surprised how often there are very similar things, such as adding desu ka to a question, etc. When I first was learning Japanese, before cable TV was all there was...

I think you're mixing up some concepts of the SMTP protocol. Please dont take that as an offense, this is often the case for longtime postmasters during long threads happening on mailing lists. As you need to offer TLS for smtp clients (here...

I still have it set up for debugging so it needs a bit of tweaking and testing to move it to a better production configuration. The order of some of the parameters seems to matter as well. The current debugging (file paths removed - no point...

Have you solved the problem? if possible, post your configuration file to see, please. Maybe this configuration will be useful to someone.

Yep, it's the nature of the thing. When you go to a bakery you're going to find lots of people ordering bread-related products. If you go to a butcher you're going to find lots of people ordering meat products. When you go to a support forum...

No one here has done this, it's impossible to provide you with sound advice. The only thing I can tell is that you don't need to be right first time. Trial and error is the most common way of learning. There's even a rule called "Thompson's Rule...
