I found a small stand. Two shelves would have been nicer, but it's better than nothing. It looks a bit tidier now anyway.

the plums came from our tree outside :)

Electronica? Oxygene and Equinoxe by Jean-Michel Jarre.

I installed the xlibre-server on an new htpc. It went well. It works for me and meets my rather modest needs. I think Wayland, by design, never will do that 100% and so I never will Wayland.

The most inner stars are real fast but spiral arms suggest some kind of interaction apart from gravity. Everything should divide without a visible structure, if you ask me, but it's a bit fluid-like.

Yes we are all from the UK Funny thing is i actually get more views from the US, Germany, India and Brazil than the UK This is where i keep all my notes https://github.com/NapoleonWils0n/cerberus

What *is* the price of fish?

Upgrading to 14.5-RELEASEdid not have effect in glxinfo -B output. pkg update; pkg upgrade neither and reinstalling the kernel to the custom one before upgrading to 14.5-RC1 did not have any effect (possibly LinuxKPI and/or other) even if the...

Is there any summary of still wanted FreeBSD documentation?

BSDJedi is a FreeBSD goldmine for sure!

I finally got around to rebuild the relevant *kmods from ports Sep 9 20:43:46 kg-core2 pkg-static[36888]: nvidia-kmod-595.84.1404000 deinstalled Sep 9 20:43:48 kg-core2 pkg-static[36988]: nvidia-kmod-595.84.1404000 installed Sep 9 20:48:01...

blackbird9, that makes sense. I don't think a huge, transparent monitor would work for me. As you said, it probably looks good in the exhibition hall, but I suspect I'd get tired of it quickly. (Like I did with the transparent terminals when I...

If the confirmation is controlled not by the agent, but by the email client, you are right that it should be enough of a guarantee in that respect. But an agent can still "decide," for example, to email all your contacts. There have been cases...

I have to agree. While I am very critical about the generic use of AI and the stale mess that comes from it, it's also fair to say that there are plenty of legitimate uses for it. Being quite the (former) IRC diehard I don't exactly have many...

I have a large monitor, 32" and for my workflow, it's often useful, e.g, several terminals and a web browser open. As for the transparent stuff---when I had younger eyes, I would run fluxbox with a transparent terminal on moderately dark, bluish...

Took me a while this.. after looong time without FreeBSD (mainly as the suspend/resume did not work) LOL , AI slop... :-}

not cheap enough to deal with arm crap for a few bucks per year in energy savings

No need to search, look: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/how-to-learn-tcl-language-in-less-than-an-hour.102482/

Yes, I finally did it! I'm so happy. (I had tried ghosbsd before, but the latest version didn't work. Final build ✓ Windows ✓ FydeOS / Android ✓ Debian ✓ Free/GhostBSD I can see the Wi-Fi but it's not connecting. I need help with this.

How difficult it is depends on what you want and what language you use. If you want to do calculations, with C is easy and efficient. It is a program that run once and do the calculations you need. If you must deal with strings, for example for...

I would advise you to stop asking questions now and just proceed. As others have suggested, write a program in some language that prints "Hello, world!". Until you can do that you're only talking about programming and not doing. Forget about...

By now C++ 2026 is about 10x the size of C, and growing. And there will be a lot more compile-time computing soon.

C is more elementary, you can easily guess how it translate to machine, and it is a closed system. C++ is for 'object oriented' programming, perhaps you will seldom need object programming, and you can do it to some extent with C. C will be...

The link works fine here. Here is another link https://www.amazon.com/WayPonDEV-CM3588-NAS-Kit-Mali-G610/dp/B0CQZN4LSS and from amazon UK too https://www.amazon.co.uk/WayPonDEV-CM3588-NAS-Kit-Mali-G610/dp/B0CQZN4LSS

But you’ve provided no criticism, but moan, complain, and throw insults like a little toddler. Exactly how is the installer “difficult, outdated, unnecessarily complicated, painfully long, and frustrating”? I’d argue It’s easier to install...

That is for a WHILE-language similar to ALGOL60. FORTRAN, as machine language: operations that change state, jump according to the state, repeatedly. A functional language like LISP and relational like PROLOG has a different paradigm, the...

Have you tried using that tool on a proper server over serial? Also note that gparted does not support the creation of ZFS pools. Get with the times kiddo. ZFS is the future! ;)

Somewhat related to this discussion... This Is How Earth Actually Moves Through Space (Riddle video on youtube) It's enlightening and thought provoking. Not something you think about everyday but things are so complex.

Computers haven't been simple for decades. You simply cannot explain what happens in today's hello world in C. You can explain into great detail in 15 minutes what happens when you write that code on the 80s IBM PC type computer. You can also...

If you have a clear goal, shell script might be a good start. If things require more speed or graphics/media, you can try to improve parts with a real language that's also executed in a script. This is the lazy selective approach. Only study...

If that's what is implied by "no support" then covacat's solution seems to be the best one for the situation in Hetzner - deploy HW with Linux, spool VMs on top of it. I checked in Azure (GWC) -- there are preinstalled images available. That's...

All programming languages follow a few basic patterns, loops, conditionals and variables. Those three basic principles all apply similarly in every language, only the syntax might be different from one language to another. Understand the...

I am curious what this CUDA test program outputs in podman. Attached as source and compiled with Rocky.

What's the misconception? Gravity and the orbital plane? You sound boarded up like plasma physics.

Neither do we. Even with that small amount of mass the Earth still exerts a gravitational pull on the sun (gravity works both ways). It's a tiny bit but it still makes the sun wobble.

Even more fun fact, the COG for the sun-jupiter combo is outside the sun. So the Jupiter does not orbit the sun technically. </nitpick>

Why switch anything? I can start X.org, break it and start something else. Wayland trying to be the only presence is a red flag. It can be an independent program, like an X-server. No need for separation. X.org, Wayland or any other graphical...

Fun fact, most of the remaining mass is Jupiter. We're literally less than a speck in comparison.

Milky Way stars are not orbiting the black hole Sagittarius A* in the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Betcha you didn't know this. This is the biggest misconception in astronomy. What's going on then? Why are the stars moving in circles around...

covacat When I look at Differences between managed servers and bare metal servers I see full KVM/IPMI is provided. KVM being keyboard/video/mouse in this context.

A Linux ZFS kernel cannot necessarily access a FreeBSD-created poll, though. If FreeBSD activated a single feature in the pool that Linux doesn't have it won't import.

Linkie no workie.

What exactly do you mean by "they don't support FreeBSD"? With dedicated HW it's up to you what you install there. You have an option to upload your custom ISO there too (you can run your own OS too). VMs are, as far as I know, qemu+kvm so it's...

Thanks for clarifying: that is the level of hassle I am keen to avoid. Engineer time (including mine) costs a lot more than the saving from cheaper but inconvenient hosting. For personal stuff, the challenge of unsupported tech is a welcome one...

That's very useful to know. So let's say I'm an idiot and manage to mess up the network configuration, it's possible to log in at the console without needing specialist client software (the thread I linked was talking about needing a Java...
