New since 14.2. I never heard of it but I'm probably going to use it. So we don't need doas and sudo? Never used it anyway but it became sort of howro standard.

Its just You have a lot better memory then I have. My brain recalls your username but to be honest my brain remembers better usernames like scottro or @carpetsmoker or phoenix ... thank You for reminding me about 'when' I started the FreeBSD...

Thanks, it is well set. The strange thing is that it's not consistent: sometimes it boots, and other times it doesn't!

If someone improves cardfile.exe with basic record management functions, I might start using wfw311 as personal phone number master record for old computers.

A better example can be this Reddit homelab community. It is full of examples, from the crazies one, to the inspiring and professionally done. Despite having 536K weekly visitors and ~ 10K weekly messages it is surprisingly a "nice place"...

Thanks, I can understand the installer adding it but don't understand installer not including "noauto". This is complete speculation on my part, but msdosfs I think is less robust with unclean shutdowns (I could be completely wrong, so take it...

With a recent change that removed dialog in favor of bsddialog, FreeBSD has now retired the last piece of GPL-licensed code in its base system. Although the impact of this change will be minor for users, it does highlight once again the Open...

Thank you both guys, this is invaluable information! I will go ahead and clone the complete ports tree and start digging into Poudriere! Thank you so much again!

I guess I can wrap up this thread. I've learned quite a bit. Many thanks to everyone for the handholding :).

You're right, I'll add noauto. Remark: it has been produced by the installer, and I did not change it myself. nda0p1 is efiboot0. # gpart list Geom name: nda0 modified: false state: OK fwheads: 255 fwsectors: 63 last: 2000409223 first: 40...

It's probably the ~/.ssh directory permissions on the VPS host. SSH is quite finicky about those. Check /var/log/auth.log on your VPS.

That was the problem. Many thanks for the suggestion. The directory was owned by root.

Try as I said. Do not make your life difficult with tools conceived to do life easy. The thing easy, and the solution should be easy. The two keys you generated with ssh-keygen are so, that one decrypts what the other encrypts. If an entity has...

I did not add it in the original message, but smartctl is OK, nvmecontrol selftest is OK, and once the machine has booted, everything is fine and I don't see any signs of disc weakness. But there's a chance the problem will come back the next...

I'd think that there exceptions to the title of the thread. Yeah, these forums are probably one of them (exceptions). Or most forums, maybe. Hrm, I dunno, maybe most forums sell all user information. But I guess that the "You are the product"...

All the public job boards are infested with scammers, precisely because they're public services where anyone can post, and nobody will pull a "know your client" or enforce any kind of accountability.

I've a /var/backups/pkg.sql.zst [ recovered ] that I would like to compare to a nearly-identical ZST [good ] file, to check which packages are listed in one and not the other, but pkg info lacks the specific parameter [ show ports information...

I just need to look at our history books and ask relatives to know that the state ist a bad idea here. There is a famous quote "Give me a child before it is seven and it will be mine forever". We can see what the results are. You get smart people...

On my home network I use iocage create -r latest -p ./$JAIL.json -n $JAIL vnet=on dhcp=on That works fine, presumably because I have a dhcp server (dnsmasq) on my network. I thought that installing dnsmasq on my VPS host would have the same...

The guide in post # 30 was formulated assuming, that the user want's to use a DHCP server to assign a static IP based on the MAC address of the jail (see how-to-get-a-hostname-for-a-jail.103299, post #6). "Host Networking Mode" (IP Sharing)...

I am using irc and I asked on #freebsd few times and got the answer very fast. But as you said the irc is not the same as was 40 years ago :).

I made some progress with ssh-keygen and managed to use ssh-copy-id to copy my keys to my local server, but it didn't work trying to copy to my VPS host. I got permission denied when trying to do so, /bin/sh: cannot create...

I strongly agree with all three of those suggestions. The trick is to apply them in a way it doesn't interfere with your conveniences. This is where experience and expertise comes in. But also a little too much to ask of casual non-technical...

They are for different kind of personalities. The one for those that adapt to the surroundings, the other for those that adapt the surroundings.

It's an inconsistent statement. Where's the production? It also kind of clams that it's not possible to provide a free service. Better: When an online service is free , it can still profit on your personal information.

Don't use /usr/local/www/apache24/data, that's all I can say. It's where Apache's default "It works" website lives, leave that as-is. Same for /usr/local/www/nginx/ with nginx. I like /usr/local/www/<mywebsite>/, for example...

Despite the fact that I no longer work with Solaris I still very much prefer using /opt whenever it suits the situation. A local Minecraft server? /opt/minecraft, my jails? /opt/jails and you can probably guess where this is going? ;) I also...

/home/www/pub/

Neither is /var/www (it's typical on Linux though).

I have been using the default /usr/local/www/ (how do you make the paths green?) for so long now, that my brain is almost like a ROM, and since I moved over to ZFS, it's going to be REALLY difficult to "re-learn" allt the new paths.

Obligatory mention. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/topics-about-unsupported-freebsd-versions.40469/

That's crazy talk.

I try to use irc, but it's greatly changed. For example, #freebsd will have a few hundred people there, but no conversation. Sometimes if you ask a question you get an answer, but often you don't. I've also found that the #weeslack channel will...

cracauer@ I remember the last time I went there I got sucked into one of those things where someone wrote something obviously wrong about FreeBSD. I made a minor comment to correct him along with a link to the documentation. He continued to argue...

Same here. I have not intentionally gone there--I want to say for a decade or more--except when someone sends me a link and I didn't pay attention. One guy I know got in the habit of just copy/pasting what he wants to show me and email it to me...
