The nice thing about maxima, reduce, fricas etc. is that they can do symbolic mathematics, linear algebra, calculus etc., not just numerical calculations. Lisp interpreters typically provide bignums but no builtin symbolic math. Aubrey Jaffer's...

Or also math/reduce, or any lisp interpreter, I use normally editor/emacs when not bc. But there are lots of alternatives, perhaps every scripting language, a very powerful numerical calculator is the math/R interpreter, it is intended for...

bc -l provides trigonometric functions as well as exp and ln

It seems like the idea was brought, and there was no interest was how I read this thread.

It's the opposite: dmesg is the output of kernel messages, and they are held in a memory buffer. Sometime during boot, roughly when syslog is enabled, the accumulated dmesg messages are dumped into /var/log/messages; after that, kernel messages...

I'm running 15.1 so maybe it's a 14 thing.

The last I read FreeBSD was trying to bundle KDE in its dvd1 ISO images? I've always liked XFCE a lot but even if KDE is not actually the official I think it would be the actual more official if that plan is followed?

Mixing VOIP and data usually requires traffic shaping, to preserve voice quality at the cost of lower data throughput during phone calls. This is how I did it on FreeBSD: Asterisk dialplan plays an IVR for testing call quality, configured to...

It's not clear to me what's involved with that, but 15.0 is the last FreeBSD release that is currently listed as tested. Possibly, the easiest thing to do with ventoy is either wait for 15.1 support to be fixed and working or install 15.0 and...

Maybe it didn't work because our dvd / img files aren't 'hybrid'. Many Linux .isos you can dd to a memory stick and they also function. The FreeBSD .img files are pure image files which ventoy possibly doesn't support.

It could be the opposite. A graphics standard that allows low-level feedback of the screen content to something. It has to take over the primary display service to get there...

Can't answer your question but to save a few necks:

Yes the wifi on that board is supported which is handy for my use since it's a desktop in a case. 😁 But I also have lots of io on the side near the side and rear 35mm cooling fans. So I can still use some lan and external monitor and audio and...

That's an entirely different thing, isn't it? It's what I used when I wanted to install FreeBSD 15.0 from scratch, but I think that the release had been out for a while at that point. I wouldn't personally recommend other methods as ventoy and...

No Problem mate I have lots of Freebsd tutorials in the how to section of the forum which might help you get started https://forums.freebsd.org/forums/howtos-and-faqs-moderated.39/ And Freebsd youtube videos here...

NapoleonWils0n yeah but can you juggle?

vidcontrol -m on ? After some rtfm: this command could be added to the "see also" block of the mouse (4) manpage.

I thought the 2 main reasons why we use a TUI for installation is not having to worry about drivers so much and the ability to use a serial console for the install like you might well want to do with a server.

OK, but is there a coherent explanation yet why CUDA works in containers but not directly in the Linuxulator?

@LibreQuest Nice 'case' :) I installed all WiFi firmware and stuff - but as I have the LAN cable there - no need for WiFi - but good to konw that it also works on FreeBSD :) @grandpa I owned AMIGA 600 in the past ... but I was playing...

Ventoy can handle a bunch of different images at once and you generally just need to copy the relevant images to the disk. DD to a USB stick is only easier if you're just wanting 1 image. If you just one image, then Ventoy isn't really intended...

People would soon realise that having a transparent monitor would have little use. You would have to place it in front of a very blank (preferably white) wall, to be able to make out any of the text on it.

It's an American pro-EU channel. O:‑)

Can we ever expect to be able use these sort of displays with FreeBSD? View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVNE4glu_OU

mpr, mps, mpt, mfi and mrsas. Think I've used all variants over the years. Don't combine a hardware RAID card with ZFS though, stick to a HBA (or set your hardware RAID card to JBOD) for that.

I think if I remember correctly, the 15.0 ISO file worked for me. Try that instead of using the img file.

It's just a one-time deal and you don't even need Windows or Linux for it. They provide a standalone live-cd for you to set that up the first time if you prefer to do so, though using Windows or Linux is more convenient. Once you do that one-time...

News to me. Round1 and Dave and Busters are thriving here in my neck of the woods. Round1 in particular, keeps opening new stores.

Unfortunately very limited, that is why xkb appeared later. I have at the left only Super_L and Alt_L keys, both in use and assigned to mod4 and mod1, out of reach of xmodmap that it needs it as Mode_switch.

Major version upgrades are always problematic, especially when it comes to 'external' (from ports/packages) kernel modules. They need to be specifically compiled for your running kernel version. DRM drivers are notoriously finicky due to the fast...

As just remembered, sometimes it was an issue to update to a RELEASE after the CURRENT. The graphics driver support dropped there as well, it could have been at FreeBSD 12 or older, not remembered anymore. Not a current issue. This is not some...

TUI also gets right to the point.

Ports tree is the same for ALL versions of FreeBSD. It's a fake website, avoid it. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/please-beware-of-do-not-visit-_www_freebsdsoftware_org_-do-not-visit-it-contains-ai-slop.103698/

You've been working on this coming up on nine months now. You haven't really shown us anything. Show us the output of top during this problem. When you open a file from the command line with, say, vi is it also slow? When you open a video from...

Speed is the reason I’ve reinstalled Wifibox. iwx isn’t the answer either. Last year I tried OpenBSD; the iwx driver is really fast on that.

I'm not sure how it has any relevance here. Ventoy is not some software that is running on top of FreeBSD or any OS for that matter. It's a boot loader kind of like GRUB. The comparison to dd doesn't make sense because dd isn't a boot loader and...

Ventoy is very nice to use since you can just use 1 USB stick for potentially all your images. Added a new iso/img is just a simple copy to the Ventoy partition. It really saves a lot of pain constantly dd'ing the stick especially cause most USB...

Use the .ISO file in ventoy, not the memstick .img
