Looks like there's a proposed patch for PHP already (from reading your PR), and it was the XLST code: Remove xsltCleanupGlobals call in ext/xsl MSHUTDOWN. The call to xsltCleanupGlobals() during module shutdown can cause a segfault in...

richardtoohey2 I just saw that too 👍 Trying to patch that extension as we speak, but can't get it to work o_O

I was wanting to use something when dropping to a command shell during bsdinstall and decided to try nnn but it complains about a missing library. lf works ok.

Assuming I do, how can I tell if I can use one? Would I be able to use one on computer on my network? ie would FreeBSD be suitable?

For what it's worth before any upgrade with Nvidia, as I have a system on ZFS, I use bectl to make an alternative boot from the working system. This way, if the upgrade messes up, I can boot to the working one. I also find that I can fix...

Heh, vulkaninfo doesn't like the gfx card in my main workstation tingo@kg-core2:~ $ vulkaninfo --summary WARNING: radv is not a conformant Vulkan implementation, testing use only. '-avx512er' is not a recognized feature for this target (ignoring...

I just installed FreeBSD 13 and upgraded: works fine now! Likely tunefs would've worked.

I agree it doesn't look good, FYI: there is also a way to link to the specified PR number. Usage: 283470 that's how it works below: 283470

XMPP is lacking in general and on FreeBSD. I say this as someone who likes XMPP/Jabber. I learned about it from old information, and wrote a few threads about it with updated information on these forums. In principle, XMPP is great though...

Well, llama.cpp coredumps with "illegal instruction". https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=283470 I can force ollama to use Vulkan with "OLLAMA_VULKAN=1 GGML_VULKAN=1 ollama ...", but it only goes faster from 1.2 t/s to 2,8 t/s with...

As an example I have a script as below to show a few log files. #!/bin/sh tmux new-session -n logs -d 'tail -F /var/log/maillog' \; \ split-window -d 'tail -F /var/log/messages'\; \ split-window -d 'tail -F /var/log/unbound.log'\; \ split-window...

Very simply, you could run tmux new-session -d "cmd1"; tmux new-window "cmd2"; tmux new-window "cmd3"; tmux a You could get more complex with this, notice the commands are contextless and assume the latest session. tmux commands accept targets...

I recall something on Linux with ROCm if the GPU was running in a PCI-E 2.0 slot without PCI-E Atomics support (was trying to use OpenCL with a 6600 XT on a Phenom II board); AMDGPU-PRO libraries worked

Yeah you probably just have more innate knowledge on Windows than Ubuntu/Gnome shell or whatever it is running nowadays. But have no doubts, Windows is a total shitshow. My familiarity with it goes beyond user experience into the APIs and...

The closest thing in the linux world to freebsd is slackware, and I love them both. I noticed Pat Volkerding (Slackware's "benevolent dictator for life") said a few days ago that slack won't be doing the age verification nonsense, which cheered...

No hate, just frustration from experience with both Ubuntu and Windows 10/11 over the last few years. Like I mentioned before, this may be more due to my familiarity and experience with Windows at a higher level than with Ubuntu, but I find...

Apparently there is package vulkan-tools with program `vulkaninfo`.

Wondering... 1) How do I test whether I currently have Vulkan available? Is there something like `glxinfo`? 2) Is Vulkan on AMD GPU even supposed to work on FreeBSD right now? 3) What about ROCm, if you have a matching GPU (I don't right...

Linux Torvalds said that, if BSD was available (it was involved in a lawsuit at the time), he never would have created Linux.

Long term linux user.. started FreeBSD journey recently. As far as I can recall Unix is a paradigm. FreeBSD feels right

I can find things in FreeBSD. And I don't just mean source code in the kernel or base user system. If I want to look at some application source code I just cd to the port and say `make patch`. And not only that, I can choose between...

if it was a real UDP joke you wouldn't care that nobody got it

Not on a DVD or CD .iso Also, not on the memstick.img (without changing fstab from single user mode) /etc/fstab /dev/ufs/FreeBSD_Install / ufs ro,noatime 1 1

Lmao I was reinstalling GW2 and saw this: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_g-Jht8TvU

You misunderstood me. I'm not gonna put the support vdevs on ZVOLs, because that's not recommended by the ZFS Best Practices Guide -- it could result in a deadlock, plus your explanation sounds reasonable. But I don't want to put them on fixed...

Reading diagonal ? Specific version of php? You can recompile everything to specific versions which works fine.

That won't work from a installer media. The installers file system is read-only (by design DVD, CD, or in case of a .img, fstab mounted ro). That means no /BLABLA mount point can be created. The only file system read-write on the installer media...

@balanga said Yes, you can. The ZFS pool is mounted by the zpool-create altroot property on /mnt, but the root dataset won't be mounted (see "-m none" in the script). It's not possible, the installer media is a read-only file system, no mount...

I still doesn't understand if this is related to FreeBSD and/or PHP. But I did a PR over at Github: https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/21600

I follow your advice. I can put it to base tomorrow. Good idea you think ?. Is base not in reality the same version.

How's that possible diizzy ? I have: OpenSSL 3.5.4 30 Sep 2025 (Library: OpenSSL 3.5.4 30 Sep 2025) in 15.0-RELEASE-p5 😊🙃

Just dont chase trends, and you will be good. Previous generations still offer insane amount of performance at very affordable price. Be smart.

openssl --version OpenSSL 3.5.5 27 Jan 2026 (Library: OpenSSL 3.5.5 27 Jan 2026) ..on by 15-STABLE box (OpenSSL in base that is) :-)

That strikes me as a bad idea. You are running non-default SSL and you are bound to travel paths that the maintainers did not.

Sigh, it's a shell script. How the shell deals with variables hasn't changed in over 40 years, probably even longer. dice@molly:~/temp % cat my.conf ifconfig_blah="something" ifconfig_blah="else" dice@molly:~/temp % cat rc.sh #!/bin/sh ...

What's the old saying? "Linux is for people who hate Windows. BSD is for people who love Unix." This is much more reality now than ever before. Most of the people I see flocking to Linux nowadays are doing so because they can run an...

I'm going to add something not really related, save for the fact that I often run into issues when there's an Nvidia update. I'm on a ZFS based system. So, if I'm running pkg upgrade and see there's an Nvidia upgrade, I first run bectl ctl to...

It is also important for ensuring that the binaries that you load into memory from the file system don't contain any errors. ZFS is very good at dealing with bit rot and with data loss when in a mirror or RAID configuration. Regular use of Scrub...

Do you know what a streaming service is?

That strikes me as a bad idea. You are running non-default SSL and you are bound to travel paths that the maintainers did not.

Personally, I am struggling to master tmux and wished it was the first thing I learnt when I started playing with FreeBSD ten years ago. It would have save me so much time. I would advise anyone starting out with FreeBSD to learn tmux and Doom...
