There was a damned good reason and it has nothing to do with the specs of the machine. My point was that the fact that the machine has been absolutely reliable for years does not guarantee that it is reliable NOW.

Same here, just now.

The chatter you saw would have been nice to see but, like most of us, we never get to grab that at the time. The output of dmesg might have shown something. And coincidences are coincidences when something crashes. If possible, swapping out or...

You are not dependent on a Linux base from the ports, as some users' comments might suggest ( CentOS: emulators/linux-c7, Rocky Linux: emulators/linux-rl9, or Debian/Ubuntu: sysutils/debootstrap). If the commercial software is running on Void...

A possible explanation for the issue could be OP's [FreeBSD-ports] was latest and [FreeBSD] is quarterly. Now with both repos in sync ("quarterly"), the problem went away.

This looks wrong: [...] New packages to be INSTALLED: basu: 0.2.1 [FreeBSD-ports] hwdata: 0.411,1 [FreeBSD] [FreeBSD-ports] is a repository name used for the 15 branch. [FreeBSD] is a repsository name used for the 14 branch. I...

The issue seems to be fixed on 16.0-CURRENT, with commit "linuxkpi: Fix cancel_delayed_work_sync() return value": https://github.com/freebsd/drm-kmod/issues/485#issuecomment-5388134861...

Those are new vulnerabilities.

Good catch. Ran into this myself when I accidentally configured my custom repository twice. Got some really weird version issues, seems the resolver in pkg gets royally confused by it.

No, you have 2 cores.

I do for some machines. I find it convenient thar when things break they do so one by one, not all at once on a major update.

uucp for mail and usenet only requires that you shirtly connect to the server a couple of times a day. With metered telephone lines that is a lot cheaper than permanent or on-demand dialup. I use uucp to this day (although over TCP).

Some captive orcas have killed their trainers. Other orcas have attacked boats, though it is uncertain whether that is play or not. I feel as if I've read that they have been known to rock ice floes to possibly throw humans off and into the...

As far as I know, it's a BIOS limitation. It simply cannot be bigger, the installer creates a 512K partition for freebsd-boot due to this limitation.

I'm as Dutch as it can be, my family has been living here long before "the Netherlands" even existed.

The error is in /usr/src/stand/i386/pmbr/pmbr.S. Literally, including the 545K boundary of something.That must cause it but the lines containing 545 don't explain a lot to me. What stops loading and fills up reserved space on a 32-bit system?

Wow. I guess that makes you feel as though you belong there. Presuming your family is still more or less in the same place.

Webbased: www/webtrees22 Works really well. Also allows you to create various events (birth, baptism, marriage, death, etc). You can also store your references, pictures and whatever else you may have found. I used it for my family tree (I'm...

Use CURRENT and always be up-to-date :cool:

Church Manifests are Open when older than maybe 100 years, you can trace back a long way by them. Needs latin, though.

Checking for myself. Last time I did have the delay and three bars in the upper right. EDIT: I did see the what seemed like 1 bar for a brief moment, but this time, I also had no discernible delay.

I am posting this comment to see if it is delayed. Edit to add: There was no noticeable delay in posting this reply.

I'm running 15.1 on a 6-core AMD system I built years ago. It has 32 GB of memory and a 256 GB NVME SSD, GPT and ZFS. Also in the case is a 2 TB Seagate mechanical SATA disk, that I use of local backups and archives, also GPT and ZFS. This system...

Uh, what if you are subscribed? You still want to see the late messages.

No. The things that ports/pkg install in the Linuxulator are not special in any way. Linux binaries will do regardless of where they come from as long as the Linux version is somewhat matching. Unpacking and running it might be non trivial. I...

To be honest is not important because it was a joke. But anyway, an AI frontier model is the industry term for the biggest, most resource-heavy AI flagships models, like OpenAI's GPT or Anthropic's Claude. They require a lot of RAM and GPU power...

A frontier model is one of the newest, most capable models, usually from Anthropic, OpenAI or Google. Deepseek is a Chinese company and also the name of their LLM.

Well, the Lisp machines were never mass produced. Obviously they couldn't compete on price. That doesn't change anything about the utter superiority of the software, especially for development.

We're done here. Back to your regular program.

The AI hype is just a query on big data. It's not that special. Search engines were there for years. This is only a fancy output of the same information. None of it is actually constructive and reaches beyond common knowledge to invent something...

Of course for the Linuxulator you also need to compile llama.cpp into Linux binaries. But I can imagine making a port linux-llama-cpp with CUDA support.

Anyone familiar with Ollama ? Opinions?
