One thing I really appreciate about the modern web is that you can have presentation slide programs and spreadsheets on the web with (totally overblown) Javascript. That wasn't possible in 2001 and it was a pain to exchange or make these things...

As FreeBSD 14.5-RELEASE Available has been officially announced, I'd upgrade now and have the "best available" version installed. It may not immediately solve your problems but you'll have a better known base.

Thanks for this. The kernel drm module initialization is successful apparently (the driver and firmware loads), what is failing is the modesetting driver on X11. Out of curiosity, and knowing that the intel X11 driver has issues, can you try...

Make sure it is using the modesetting driver. # xrandr --listproviders Providers: number : 1 Provider 0: id: 0x49 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 3 outputs: 8 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting

I'd switch to Intel DDX (did this on i5-6400T iirc HD 530 and UHD 630): pkg install xf86-video-intel mkdir -p '/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d' && ee '/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-graphics-custom.conf' Section "OutputClass" Identifier...

Pixel phones are also my weapon of choice.

To follow up on this, my wife's old Samsung phone wasn't holding a charge anymore and our phone service through Spectrum had a deal on trading in phones that ends tomorrow. Since I complain "all the time" about my Samsung phone we went ahead and...

Not sure how you came to that conclusion, but it's incorrect. In fact, the command is actually still being actively maintained. PS C:\Users\peter> (Get-ComputerInfo).OSVersion ; Get-Command ftp 10.0.19045 CommandType Name...

perhaps the idea to use FTP on a home network is to plug in old devices. For example, I use FTP to copy files from my Android phone to a FreeBSD.

True. But there are plenty of FTP daemons you can install that work perfectly fine on any FreeBSD version, ftp/vsftpd for example.

Why do you think it's set up differently on 15.x compared to 14.x?

I think ssh/sftp would be a good choice! Theoretically, FTP is probably faster, since there is no encryption. But I think the speed is about the same on modern CPUs. There are also many different factors that can affect speed...

BIOS/UEFI is cached in memory.

Part of the memory is taken up by the kernel after loading, as well as some data structures ahich the system needs to even boot up. That is what is missing from your "real" memory. Also, video memory may be missing from the total, depending on...

Most of my receipts have sales tax auto-added :p

I saw an interesting changelog yesterday 😆:

I've had ~700MB FreeBSD and Linux (never seen Xfce/components above 1G; no browser/FF open) This is after a reboot (openSUSE TW; I had 30-40 tasks FreeBSD vs 100+ Linux): Not too sure how to read memory quick with top, but I like htop :D

USB redirect - " - **PCI passthrough** -- assign physical devices directly to guests. " Bhyve supports PCI passthrough, which lets you assign a physical GPU (or any PCI device) directly to a guest. This is useful for running GPU-accelerated...

Right, considering the options, we are simply going to serve a static single-page website (see image) when a DDoS occurs, and switch back to normal operations when it's over. The Anubis solution has been partially successful, but it still adds...

As you will have noticed, the Forums are either very hard to reach or very hard to use. The Forums server in itself is entirely functional, but the 'front door' is being hammered by many thousands of IP addresses opening and closing the Forums...

Not sure about Lumina, but if it has any kind of audio volume control app (or applet), it could record the playback level (initially default) and restore on its startup. If so, trying to set via the app(let) possibly help. The record could be...

You can stop the system reseting the audio levels after every restart By adding the following to your /etc/sysctl.conf hw.snd.vpc_autoreset=0

Several audio processing things come to mind. 25 years ago you had DAWs, instruments (software synthesizers) and effects (filters). But you could only use those that had minimal CPU usage. Today's instruments and effects are of a different...

And there's one thing the modern machine can't do. They've taken away my cup holder!

Running LLMs. Even if they existed back then you couldn't run them at home.

Yes, and the 6 CD version of Baldurs Gate came without copy protection because the CD-Rs were more expensive than the original.

I was running audio programming work on FreeBSD and Linux in the 1990s and never stopped. My desktop was on FreeBSD all the time after I gave up the SPARCStation. Video playing was a mixed bag. Videos from disk - no problems in Xine. Early...

In the past, I used VMware, then VirtualBox. Right now I'm using vm-behyve. At least until they create a fully functional graphical manager for managing machines for bhyve. Now I don’t get frustrated anymore when VirtualBox stops working after an...

Hi there, I can't comment on that, but there are changes to the securelevel of pf in main and stable/15, see below. The issue seems to be addressed to in the "pf: fix securelevel off-by-one" commit on 2026-08-03 I'v looked up in the source git...

I stopped using VirtualBox precisely because of that same problem. With every update, the dependencies would break, and I just didn't feel like constantly fixing it. Everything ought to work properly after an update. try bhyve

Hi, I'm trying to create a VNET jail to use as a template, and I've noticed that it doubles the number of processes compared to a standard jail. Is that normal? VNET Jail # ps -ax PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND 28028 - SCsJ 0:00.00...

Installing to an USB-stick and boot should work with UEFI and BIOS systems. Did you reset to factory defaults and disable secure boot again? I often need this with HP's refusing to boot because they remember generated keys based on a previous...

if I correctly understood your configuration and the use of wlan0, then you need to use the PF to create a NAT to access the Internet. because...

You can't bridge with a wlan interface, the wlan interface essentially has to spoof source MAC addresses, and the driver won't allow it.

The installer should make an install that boots both with BIOS and EFI. Have you tried EFI boot? Also, friends don't let friends use USB sticks. Any random m.2 drive in a USB3 enclosure is much better.

Forgot to mention. There's already 595.104.02 upstream, and patch to upgrade ports is under review now as D59925. The same can be seen as 298790.

A.I. says JSA : - J (Japan) - S (Suzuki) - A (Aichi : Toyokawa production plant) - F - HV81S : Suzuki Ignis Sport

Or, having a look at this on the big screen (and coffee) - could this be J ?

On the B&W picture you can se "J" better: balanga in GIMP - Image - Transform you have what you need to rotate image.
