cpetshbrngdo: i have compiled my updates since i started using FreeBSD, the only time I use poudriere are for port build and even so small edits don't need a full blown poudriere setup as the internal ports testing is enough
-
cpetand I will probably continue to do it even more now, I have a build script that bsically just says Compiling kernel: done Compiling world: Done would you like to install the kernel and world [yY/nN] ehich can be bypassed by adding a .dontbitch heh
-
cpetcause I really dont need to see all the build magic
-
shbrngdovkarlsen - here were a couple of machines like that, had to toggle a boot address then load the tape and hit the button. things like that
-
shbrngdoThe PDP-11/34 had a better system though. Data General Eclipse needed the toggle
-
cpetthe PDP was a simple system
-
shbrngdoack - 11/34 had a ROM-based loader and a keypad where you could examine RAM. OInly toyed with it, usually just type in command on console to boot it
-
cpetmy freebsd system runs like a champ once you add in X it crashes every 2 days
-
shbrngdovideo driver probably. some nvidia xfree86 style drivers leak like sieves
-
shbrngdoNV will not fix for older hardware probably
-
shbrngdothey shouild open source the old stuff
-
cpetmy AMD works like a champ
-
cpetmy i915 intel device does not
-
shbrngdoouh - I have never had trouble with intel vid - maybe use VESA see if that fixes it or look for bad HW
-
cpetthis is a 2025 CPU
-
cpeti expect issues
-
cpetthe device has a manu date of 11:30:2025 heh
-
shbrngdook driver not up-to-date then. someone's gonna want your crash dumps
-
cpetits up to date based on the latest drm from ports
-
cpetthe only interesting thing is the driver wants tigerlake firmare when the CPU is alderlake
-
cpetso I may test it and remove the tigerlake stuff
-
cpetnow I dont know wtf the guc and tuc stuff is but
-
cpeti dont think alderlake should want tigerlake tuc/guc stuff
-
shbrngdowell I'd guess drivers are gonna be up to a year behind bleeding edge - is it a closed BLOB or all source?
-
cpetintel doesnt have blobs lik nvidia
-
cpetkinda wish I went with the ryzen as i have never had issues with amdgpu
-
cpetmy desktop has ran with uptime of 90+ days with X running with no issues
-
shbrngdook so can be troubleshot. Linux driver compare miht malsop reveal something [probably have shared code between them]. Is it Xorg or that newer fork - they use differing ABI's, just szayin'
-
cpetbut this is a gen 14 CPU so i dont expect it to run "yet"
-
cpeti havent used wayland with it yet
-
shbrngdoI wouldn't bother.
-
cpetdont think we have a choice
-
» shbrngdo holds nose at mention of the 'W' word
-
cpetthink the gfx world is Linux based or else we would still be using our own drivers vs ported linuxkpi stuffs
-
shbrngdoXorg has a fork now, just may not be in ports. I'll resist W like I have systemd, pulse audio, and anything "Poettering" on Linux
-
cpetcracking sounds kill pule sound works fine (TM)
-
cpetheh
-
shbrngdo
-
cpetyeah saw that
-
cpetthats not in ports
-
cpetand I dont think it would fix my intel issue
-
shbrngdoIf NV and AMD cannot keep their drivers up to date with X I'll stick with hardware that CAN.
-
cpetthe issues lies with drm\* not X itself
-
shbrngdoMy work relies on use of the 'DISPLAY' variable
-
cpetlatest is 6.9 while the latest kernel is 6.18
-
cpetso it lagging a lot :P
-
cpetbut i dont expect a gen 14 CPU to be 100% useful
-
shbrngdoXlibre has a different ABI so the drivers need to be recompiled BUT should work with minimal adjustments... probably
-
cpetmost linux distro default to Wayland as thats the norm
-
shbrngdoI deliberately exclude that option. W drives me to religious warfare heh
-
shbrngdolike using Devuan for Linux boxnen and VMs. There was an attempt to have DreeBSD on Debian a while back though. Wish it would have happened!
-
cpetI wasnt happy when freebsd decided to remove drm and make it a port
-
cpetas thats just makes it harder for average joe to un X and a desktop
-
cpetsomething I like about openbsd
-
shbrngdowell... drm is a "slap on" when you look at how X evolved... but lots of things are ports-only now, including bind and perl (and gcc)
-
cpetwhats the pint in gcc when you have clang ?
-
cpeta .000001% speed increase doesn't sppeal to me
-
shbrngdo15 warns you that the psm driver is depracated - supposed to use that other thing now [but xorg-server is not hauling it in as an auto dependency - oops]
-
cpeti have a USB mouse
-
cpetso thats not a problem
-
cpetand shouldnt be for most people
-
shbrngdoit uses USB mice also - supposed to help with hot-plugging if yiou also use a tablet
-
cpetyeap im sure that would piss off the people who still use a 90's era PC
-
cpeti have a recent MSI mother baord with a PS/2 dual port
-
shbrngdoevdev - that's the one - replaces functionality of moused and psm
-
cpetnot sure why though
-
cpetbios says I have a com port as well
-
shbrngdoPS2 still needed for older KVMs and a lot of people [prefer PS2 KB performance, like ganers
-
cpetbut not sure how to actually use it if there is no DB9 port
-
shbrngdomy dual-port boards do not sdeem to work with my KVM switch though. I probably need to rrplace it. That means running cavles... bleah
-
shbrngdoI bought a splitter cable, mouse+KB female to singlwe 'dual port' male
-
cpeti had a blackbox KVM
-
shbrngdoworks except with the KVM, so I end up using PS/2 to USB
-
cpethowever the IPKVM are exp as hell
-
cpetmost people like to use the most recent stuff i am more of "if it works leave it alone"
-
cpetso i still run plasmas with x11
-
shbrngdoI found a cheap 8-port online with cables, just need to get it. Next year. but is HDMI not VGA so may have to adapt one machine that does not have HDMI [it's not that old, had winders 10 on it, but not 11 compat]
-
» cpet likes to use KDE
-
cpet:(
-
shbrngdoalso it only has USB but that means 2 easier-to-deasl-with cables to 8 machines (not 4). Netter.
-
cpetmy be another test to try and see if xfce4 runs better
-
shbrngdoplasma = dpsce heater ha ha ha
-
shbrngdospace heater
-
cpeti stopped liking gnome after version 3
-
cpetand I was a fan of E and even manage to create a mailing list and group for it
-
cpetbut they release so many releases that it makes it hard to keep up
-
shbrngdooh another thing I noticed, seems sendmail might be on its eay out, allegedly being replaced with dragonfly mail (go fig). My imap setup still needs updating to newest sendmail, gonna work on that next.
-
cpetthats been a thing for a long time
-
cpetwe dont need a full blown mail MTA
-
cpetshit the only reason for that is to have crontab be sent to us
-
cpetwhen we can get rid of it by adding all that to a log file
-
shbrngdomate is a lot like 2, and cinnamon uses gtk 3 but also similar. Personally, as long as I can nuke 'Adwaita' from high orbit I'm fine with any gnome-like environment that does not force too wide of spacing between things (like gnome 3 panel)
-
cpetive grown to like my 2 options
-
cpetxfce4 for low end HW KDE for higher end
-
cpetanything named after a breakfast meal doesnt appeal to me
-
shbrngdoI liked KDE until it got all MS Metro "2D FLATTY" especially window decorations. 'TraditionalOK' is what I typically use.
-
cpeti like it cause its the most complete WM
-
cpeti instal it and I have the most basic shit installed
-
cpetwhile most others i need to customize
-
cpetthe fact that it looks or resembles windows means nothing to me
-
shbrngdoit was like MS, Google, Gnome, KDE, and everyone else who'd never worled in console-only mode suddenly "felt" like the display ought to look like a 4 inch phone screen... with hideous color combos that blind you and too much white space
-
shbrngdoits an irritation that no amount of hydrocortisone can stop... the 2D FLATTY vs 3D Skeuomorphic.
-
cpetthats some deep shit man
-
cpethah
-
shbrngdofortunately in the OSS world we support thingass like TraditionalOK and so on. I have not had time but want to re-write a webkit-based browser that uses an early-2000's looking menu+yab system instead of hamburger menu
-
cpetthats like going to FTX with only the bare minimal essentials
-
cpeti wish netsurf was still a thing
-
shbrngdoKomqueror used to be nice. I thought it did a great job of doin the minimum
-
cpetif it runs the web and bare minimal youtube support
-
cpetim in
-
cpetshitbook, instashit, and all that other crap i dont care about
-
shbrngdoyoutube likes kto break older browsers. I don't know why the target has to remain moving like that...
-
cpetbut i need my youtubes ;/
-
shbrngdoI hang out on X and use grok a lot. Grok saved me a few hours getting my system up in a VM
-
cpetthe AI shit from that asshat musk ?
-
shbrngdoits knowledge of FreeBSD and Linux rival the ents
-
shbrngdosometimes it's wrong but so far it leads me in the right general direction
-
cpetgoogle does that for me
-
cpetdespite the hate here
-
cpetlet me ask on IRC and wait a day when I can search google
-
shbrngdogoogle is too slow. too much tasil chassing on clickorama 'circular links'
-
cpetyes google is slow if you are on a 56k modem
-
shbrngdoI'd actually tell someone who's being too much of a n00b [not researching] to post on grok.com and save the output. write your own manual to RTFM, heh
-
cpetback in the early 90's thats all you got when you asked
-
cpetRTFM
-
shbrngdoit's not bandwidth slow - it's "getting to the answer" sllow
-
cpetshbrngdo: you need help with X RTFM
-
cpetshbrngdo: you need help compiling freebsd RTFM
-
cpetnow you say that people get upset
-
cpetor call you handicapped
-
cpetheh
-
shbrngdoheh, not that bad I hope, or IRC channels like this stiop being relevant
-
cpetlibrechat stop being relvalnent when you have topic whores
-
cpetasking you to goto #freebsd #x11 #help #$@
-
shbrngdoin theory being old and foggy vision and using a cane would qualify
-
cpeti have a 1100 page VA medical file
-
cpeti think that qualifies more
-
cpetheh
-
shbrngdoseriously though lemme give you a gok I did...
-
cpeti think we are the only ones here drinking beer
-
cpetthere is no other person that has as shity tpying as me
-
» cpet looks at shbrngdo
-
cpet:p
-
shbrngdothis - solved a specific problem with rsync in vbox - x.com/i/grok/share/N2ECsTrJH5F1hrEaWwJB4ogjd
-
cpetisnt that that AI shit?
-
cpeti spent a day trying to block as many bots i could
-
cpetnext day I had the same shit but different IP's
-
cpetgave up
-
cpetnow i just add in a regex with a block to my web server and it give 500 responces back
-
shbrngdoyeah, but I use a fun trick with these things. 1) create a guest-level user, 2 allow ssh from the login I use with Xorg, 3) set up a shell script that invokes the browser in the context of that user using DISPLAY (yet another reason not to use W), and then it logs in to a different user, runs the invasive web page, and maybe dumps history on the way out, all in the context of guest user
-
shbrngdoI do that for slack, X, and web sites where I must enable script. noscript for everything else
-
cpeti just dont use that crap
-
cpetits been what 3 years and X is still named as X formerlly twitter ?
-
shbrngdono choice for me - need slack for work, and bill paying needs script
-
cpetnever used slack
-
cpeti remeber when I was still in and they wanted me to use that secure messaging shit and I refused
-
cpetwhich made my squad leader to manayly send me SMS messages
-
cpetheh
-
shbrngdobut anyway the value here is that you have a history of all of your grok analyses. I clean it out once in a while, keep relevnt ones. Sometimes saves hours of brain-numbing circle-clicking
-
cpeti dont want a history of anything I say
-
shbrngdoyeag true grok.com does not save it if you use anonymously
-
cpetthis is why I pretty much refuse any sign ups from any services that isnt deemed necesary
-
shbrngdoack - same here - and the corollary, always go through privacy settings and disable all of it
-
cpeti really wish that more sites used or offered yubikey auth
-
cpetand I like that the VA id.me does
-
shbrngdoand from a sandboxed login, which in FBSD and Linuc you can clone as different login home directories easily enough.
-
shbrngdoVA - and Social Security and Medicare too.
-
cpetyeah used to be just there ow auth
-
cpetwhich I forgot my 32 char password and I had to get a letter sent with a new pass key
-
cpetthen they added id.me
-
cpetnever had to do it
-
shbrngdotoo much identy theft. At least there's no captchas, or if there were I forgot [now that I saved their cookies]
-
cpeti havent had that much scams from the VA
-
shbrngdooh yeah is id.me the same asd the gummint ID site? One login or somethibng
-
cpetlogin.gov is another
-
cpetyou need that to access usejobs.gov
-
shbrngdothat's the one. I had to sign up through that, then it's doen.
-
shbrngdohave not dealt with VA but technically is an option if I ever needed it. Unlikely now.
-
cpeti goto the VA atleast once a week
-
shbrngdohopefully you are getting proper med care there.
-
cpetas long as its not mental health related the VA isnt bad
-
cpeti was bitten by a dog at the park and went ot the VA and was taken care of paid nothing
-
cpetthe issue is mental health that shit is so fucked it aint funny
-
shbrngdoI'm in a Navy town (San Diego), could probably do that if I ever needed to.
-
cpetim in a seabee town Gulfport/MS
-
Matt|homeevening.
-
cpeti live about 15 mins to the Navy base and about 20 to Keesler
-
shbrngdoack - Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most
-
cpetlost mind
-
shbrngdoheh after 11PM Now. surprise. I still gotta fix sendmail on the new server
-
cpeti started using opensmtd for years now
-
cpetgetting email to work is 1 line
-
cpetgetting smtps auth is 2 lines
-
shbrngdoanyway if I wee coaching someone on a difficult probelem I'd probably type it into gerok, then paste a link to the answer
-
cpetan getting dovecot and imap is about 6 lines
-
Kostoncpet: sounds like Perl
-
cpetnothing against sendmail
-
cpetbut m4 is not fun to play with
-
shbrngdoI'm using cyrus. Reasons, mopst f them to keep me familiar with enterprise-like solutions
-
cpetmost of my time ive used exim
-
cpeti do not like psotfix
-
shbrngdomy ISP forwards to my server, ehich then receives it (sendmail), then routes to cyrus, which also has secure MAP my old tablet can use when out of home-office.
-
cpetthese days with as much hassle it is to setup you own mail server
-
cpeti dont bother any more
-
cpeti just use proton
-
shbrngdoI've toyed with exim , that's about it [being the (old?) goto nailer for Debian derivatives for a long time]
-
cpetyou have to deal with DKIM, SPF, DMARC
-
cpetand whatever crap big blue decieds to add in later
-
cpetshbrngdo: you cant be that old
-
shbrngdoSPF is the important one, not too hard. ISP has instructions even for proplr who manage their own domains
-
shbrngdopeople I mean
-
Kostoncpet: none of those are really a problem. it's the rabid anti-spam measures that waste a ton of time
-
cpetit is if your IPs are classified of residential IPs
-
cpetthen all that doesnt matter as it all aut send to spam
-
shbrngdoI wouldn't mind the old RBL blacklists but I guess things move around too rapidly so nobody supports those
-
cpetand proton does a decent job
-
cpeti could setup a mail server on a VPS
-
cpetbut thats over kill
-
Kostonnot long ago, I had to once again deal with some retard blacklister who decided to blacklist IP ranges based on AS links. in practice they had blacklisted an entire fucking A-class of IPs in one swoop.
-
cpetyou would think that having a biz line and a /29 you would be exempted
-
cpetbut nope
-
AfterglowI'm hosting 4 email domains on my (home) server with postfix, backed by postgresql, with dkim, spf and dmarc, really simple
-
Kostonyeah nope
-
cpeti condem doing any DB with email
-
cpetif its not a enteprise with 5000 emails
-
cpetfuck f ill setup a DB with my email systen
-
shbrngdowell domain handling for official web site is s rent-a-vm from opalstack, then FBSD with a /28 block from AT&T [which just got a bit more expensive last month]
-
cpetfuck ATT
-
cpetis all i can ay hah
-
cpeti have sparklight
-
cpetand I have yet to have any issues after 3+ years
-
cpetATT was breahed i think a few years ago and I wish it utter death
-
cpetnot only thst there infrature is utter shit
-
shbrngdothe ISP has mostly unlimited SMTP outgoing so I send everything through that, then SPF reecords on DNS includde it.
-
Afterglowcpet, 100+ aliases
-
shbrngdoI guess it's a /29 block - 4 or 5 uisable addresses
-
» shbrngdo needs to leverage that somehow
-
Kostonrunning only an inbound MX server is very simple and painless, but outgoing SMTP is a nightmare these days
-
cpeti like to setup email the old school way as in you login and tye in mail i dont care about imap and all that
-
shbrngdotrue, easier to just forward it and make sure SPF stays up to date
-
cpethoever when your ISP has you whole block as residential and email auto sends to spam
-
cpetthere reay is no point is setting it up
-
shbrngdoSPF eliminates a lot of that need
-
Kostonsimple things like moving the server to another location, IP address changes? well, you're not getting a single mail through to any microsoft managed address for the next few days to few weeks because they default to assumption that IP change = server hacked
-
Afterglowmost ISPs publish SPF you can include
-
shbrngdoack - and instructions to make it easier for noobs
-
Kostonit doesn't also make diddly squat difference if you have SPF, DKIM, MARC etc all configured precisely correctly
-
cpetnow I have been paying for proton for years now and it include 3 hosted domains
-
cpetso i just use that
-
Kostonone fairly large german mail domain refuses to take in any mail that comes from a server which' PTR record doesn't match A record + helo
-
shbrngdooh ok - yeah that's opften simple. opalstack is lower level, but it uses a reasonable web interface and hosts linux vm's and dedicated for [I assume] reasonable pricwes.
-
cpeti use contabo
-
cpeti dont use any us based services as there resource to price ratio is utter shit
-
shbrngdoKoston - yeash they need to fix that - the HELO I mean. I don't blame the ISP in Germany
-
cpetthis is why I stpped doing my own email
-
cpetspam should be done by the end user not the server
-
cpetif you dont like spammer guy spamming you use procmail to kill it
-
shbrngdoit's still fun to play around with. I actually set up a system to snd mail through a local business connection some time ag - mailing daily spreadsheets to a customer. perl script and shell.
-
cpetthats a direct connection to the same client
-
cpetwont cause any issues
-
shbrngdoit's running on a Raspberry Pi behiond a firewall appliance at a customer's office.
-
cpetsending email to microsoft or gmail
-
cpetwell they expect all that shit configured
-
cpetand "properly"
-
shbrngdoit can be tricky. Fortunately Perl modules are up to date on that
-
cpetthe issue lies when you use gov stuff
-
shbrngdoI haven't yet dealt with OOTP though.
-
cpeti have sent emails to the VA and it never getting sent due to filters and such
-
shbrngdoer, TOTP
-
shbrngdocpet - yeah that is irritating.
-
Kostoncpet: favourite from few years ago, gmail stopped accepting mail after switching outbound smtp to a new IP. which was also hosted in GCP. best the gmail support could say was "fix your outgoing server" (which was perfect all along) and then mused "maybe it's some spam prevention but we can't tell you any more about it"
-
cpetbut to be fair looking at my history the idiots at the VA have called me and emailed me using the wrong contact info on more occations i can count
-
cpetthe only google service I use is youtube
-
shbrngdoafter 11:30 - I should work on sendmail [was procrastinating]. later. my server is nesrly up, mail is the last step I think other than HD swap + test/re-config
-
cpetmail is easy with sendmail on freebsd
-
Kostoncpet: google has become cancer
-
cpetjust read the Makefile
-
cpetdespite peope hate toward sendmail sendmail is still a powerful mail server
-
cpetKoston: yeap nice to see thay had the same fate as MS did in the early 90 as a monopoly
-
Kostoncpet: my thoughts exactly
-
cpetKoston: howeber I cant ay anything bad about bill gates as he has donated probaly more of his wealth than any other tech person
-
Kostonhow many could've?
-
cpeta few actually donae others dont
-
cpetnow donations are tax write ups
-
cpetso theres a good and a bad to everything
-
Kostoncan't operate a business in the US anyway without annually donating to some or other charity
-
cpetsame goes for secueity
-
cpetas fare as I know there is no limit to that
-
cpetso a company can donate a buck and still be valid
-
cpetbut people dont realize most donations are tax write ups
-
Kostonthey double as that, but much more important reason is the american culture expecting businesses to donate to charity
-
Kostonsomehow, you can run the most hawkish underhanded business known to man but as long as you make annual donations you're good
-
Kostonsimilar thing to giving tip for waiters in restaurants. you can refuse to tip, but that's generally a terrible idea
-
cpeti tip if you trest me well
-
cpetif not i dont bother
-
cpetif that makes me an ass well
-
cpetim an ass then :P
-
KostonI tip or don't depending almost entirely where I'm at
-
Kostonin finland? almost never tip. in thailand? always tip.
-
cpetthere was a restaurant in GA that had a message on the menu we auto add a 15% tip
-
cpeti dont like american beer so I asked for a guiness
-
cpetanyone knows that pouring guiness takes a bout 5 minutes and it pours bottom up
-
cpeti got mine in less than a 1 with 90% foam
-
cpeti asked for a new one
-
cpeti was charge for two i said im not paying for foeam
-
cpeter foam
-
cpetbill came i disputed they took it off
-
cpetwhat pissed me off was the auto 15% tip
-
cpeti paid and then I charged it back at my bank as shity service and not what i asked for
-
cpetafer about 2 months i got my money back
-
rtprioi miss the no-tip culture
-
cpetas yes the person who called me a jackass for trying to help him
-
cpethello
-
rtprioi apologize
-
cpetthere still is a no tip culture
-
cpetyou just have to fight for it a bit
-
cpetand if you have a amex card that shit is gold
-
rtprioi meant in places like france
-
cpetas they have a procedure that if you dont receive the service you asked for you get a refund for it
-
rtpriobill comes, pay, leave
-
cpetwell the US is garbage compares to most if not all .eu
-
cpetheh
-
rtprioit is :|
-
cpetand if you look at the politics
-
cpetwell :(
-
cpetseems like my issue was resolved with bastille
-
cpetthis is nice
-
nwewith a freshly installed freebsd 15.0 to upgrade/patch is it still freebsd-update that should be use or is it pkg update/upgrade? I guess freebsd-update will be removed in newer releases? or?
-
polariannwe: freebsd-update will be removed in 16.0 as it is now (effectively) deprecated
-
polarian16.0 will be released in 2 years, 15.x will continue about a year after than
-
polarianthat*
-
polarianso you will have approx 3 years before mandatory pkgbase
-
polarianas for how to update a freshly installed 15.0, it depends whether you choose pkgbase or not in the installer, if you did then you use pkg, if you didn't then you use freebsd-update
-
polarianfreebsd-update will not run if it detects pkgbase as it will destroy your system
-
polarian(or so I heard)
-
polarianiirc you can check pkgbase by grep -i freebsd-base /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf
-
paulfspeaking of pkgbase how does that cope with __FreeBSD_version?
-
paulfCan __FreeBSD_version affect more than one package? If so does that mean that they always get updated atomically?
-
nwepolarian: on this newly re-installed I choose pkgbase, but Im not really follow when upgrading with pkg is it like pkg upgrade -r <release> ?
-
nwepolarian: I have it in FreeBSD.conf... pastebin.com/ijTbFiQx but why is it no enabled when I during installation choose "PKGBASE" (new way) :)
-
polariannwe: afaik pkg upgrade will do it
-
polarianor you have use -r flag to specify the repository of FreeBSD-base
-
polarianits like on Linux
-
polariannwe: unsure, if you uncomment it I dont think there would be any harm
-
nwepolarian: okey so pkg upgrade will replace both freebsd-update fetch /upgrade?
-
polarianfreebsd-update is completely redundant and wont work on a pkgbase system
-
polarianas its delta updates
-
nweso later on its only pkg update for both package and "base" system ?
-
AfterglowMaybe the question already has been asked, but how does this work when upgrading from 14.3? Do you also get the choice, or does this require lots of (manual) work afterwards?
-
polariannwe: yes
-
polarianthere is discussions on whether there should be separation but right now afaik
-
polarianthey will be updated togerther
-
polarianAfterglow: you update as usual, using freebsd-update, and then you use pkgbasify which is a script to convert from delta to package
-
polarianthen for now on you will use pkg upgrade instead of freebsd-update
-
Afterglowthanks polarian, clear answer
-
polarian
-
polarianthat has all the corresponding information you might nee d
-
polarianAfterglow: as for installation bsdinstall will ask you within 15.x whether you would like pkgbase or delta updates
-
polarianthis will be removed in 16.0
-
polarianalthough someone said recently that theres plans to make this reversible?
-
polarianI have also heard talk about an inverse script (depkgbasify) to convert back to a distribution set system...

polarian^^^ this would be useful for those who want to update from srdc
-
polariansrc*
-
AfterglowFirst line of the github page: "Both the pkgbasify tool and pkgbase itself are experimental"... I'll wait a bit then. Thx for the info though
-
polarianAfterglow: its meant to be stable in 15.0 :0
-
polarian:)
-
polarianor so I heard
-
nwepolarian: a stupid question, do you still use freebsd-update or pkg upgrade -r <release> etc? sound like the easiest way it to re-install the computer then run a convert-script..
-
polariannwe: I update from src as I hate pkgbase :)
-
polarianbut if I wasn't I would still use freebsd-update, its slow but it works
-
nwepolarian: with make buildworld/kernel installkernel/world?
-
polarianand also there is freebsd-rustdate in ports
-
polariannwe: yeah
-
nweI check you checked out stable/15 first :) or are you living on the edge and running CURRENT?
-
nwewhats that freebsd-rustdate?
-
nimaje1an implementation of freebsd-update in rust, as that is faster then the sh monster freebsd-update
-
MelMaliki wonder if i should rewrite it in c
-
nimaje1why would you throw away memory safety?
-
nwepolarian: feels that it´s easier with the old way then :) in /usr/src
-
MelMaliknimaje1, Rustland is a cult
-
dvlcyric: works for me now.
-
nimaje1there are more memory safe languages, lua would be an option if you want something in the base system, but ports have others like pascal, java, python, …
-
erkRust is just a quite nice language, so I can understand that people want to use it.
-
CrtxReavrI love how you'll find some app you want written in Rust. . . the README.md on the git repo says to use the 'cargo install <foo>' "package manager."
-
CrtxReavrIt creates a ~/.cargo/bin/foo file. .
-
CrtxReavrThen you go to #rust and ask if there's a way to specify the destination and they first thing they tell you is "It's not a package manager!"
-
cyricdvl: you mean pkg update? just checked, works for me as well
-
dvlcyric: I refered to: ] <cyric> Ugh, is it just me? pkg: Failed to fetch pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/quarterly/meta.conf: Unknown error
-
cyricdvl: so it didn't work for you as well back then?
-
dvlcyric: I didn't try when you said. I was AFK then.
-
cyricdvl: ah ok, wonder what the issue was (local or not)
-
dvlcyric: All I tried was `fetch URL`
-
erkCrtxReavr: You can use --root <dir to install bins to> for that.
-
polariannwe: I am on origin/releng/15.0
-
polarianaka RELEASE
-
nimaje1I'm pretty sure cargo stands for cargo-culting and is meant as a warning that you shouldn't use it, no idea if there is a good build system for rust, but using rustc directly in a Makefile works ok-ish
-
polariannimaje1: cause rust is shit
-
polarianMelMalik: +1
-
CrtxReavrerk, I could also just manually create /usr/opt/bin/, add it to the system path, and toss it in there.
-
erkCrtxReavr: I meant cargo install --root /usr/opt/bin will do that for you, but yeah there is more than one way to do it.
-
CrtxReavrerk, you realize cargo(1) makes no mention of that switch.
-
erkCrtxReavr: Yeah a bit odd, it is listed as one of the first things on `cargo help install`
-
CrtxReavr
-
erkLOL, termbin is apprently blocked here, I guess it was used to host malware or something.
-
nimaje1
-
erkImo the 5 point list in that man page is quite clear.
-
mariussAfter upgrading to 15.0-RELEASE I get the following: WARNING: sysctl vfs.zfs.min_auto_ashift is deprecated. Use vfs.zfs.vdev.min_auto_ashift instead.
-
mariussAlso as a jail spins up I see a note that bge0 is deprecated
-
vkarlsenmariuss: You're probably setting that in /etc/sysctl.conf. I know I was.
-
mariussvkarlsen: indeed. Thanks for the hint!
-
nwepolarian: okey, I think I will do the old way rebuild rebuild kernel and world.. all the tools confusing me, freebsd-update/freebsd-version and pkg etc :D
-
nwepolarian: polarian
-
polariannwe: up to you
-
polarianfreebsd-update is simples
-
polarianfreebsd-update -r 15.0-RELEASE upgrade
-
polarianreboot
-
polarianfreebsd-update install
-
polarianreboot
-
polariandone
-
polarianand if you are pkgbasified then pkg upgrade
-
polarian(uncomment FreeBSD-base from /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf if it exists)
-
nwepolarian: hehe yeah :) I tink I will go with /usr/src :).
-
cpetnwe: im a little reluctant to use pkgbase yet so src for me as well
-
nwecpet :)
-
polarianlol
-
polarianif in doubt, build from src :p
-
mzarpolarian: you can also build your own packages for pkgbase after successful build
-
polarianmzar: yeahhh no.
-
polarianf*ck pkgbase
-
mzar:-/
-
isleywhy?
-
polarianI have already aired my views on pkgbase literally everywhere, pointless me redoing it for the 50th
-
polariantime*
-
polarianplus I might get banned if I dont shhhhh :p
-
mzarI will give it a try, at some point
-
MacerDo thumb drives not have smart?
-
nwepolarian: :p
-
mzarMacer: they have
-
nwewhich problem did they try to solved when chaning from freebsd-update/fetch to use pkgbase ?
-
nwenow it´s feels more confusing which tool we should use :P depending the first installation method you did :P and also use a lua-script to convert to pkgbase.. what I like with openbsd is their sysupgrade and syspatch really smooth :P
-
mzarMacer: actually these USB sticks don't have it, at a glance I read it wrong
-
MacerYeah. Mine don’t seem to work.
-
MacerI guess the ones with smart are actually SSDs with a usb interface.
-
MacerLike a corsair gtx
-
MacerNo trim support either it seems.
-
polariannwe: speed
-
polarianfreebsd-update is slow
-
polarianand binary patching is always going to be slow
-
polarianbinary patching has the benefit of small sizes, but in the mdoern day when bandwidth is more abundant downloading a gigabyte of packages to update is a non-issue for most
-
polarianI completely disagree with it though
-
skeredfreebsd-update does binary patching? I thought it was a rip and replace with patching text?
-
mzaryes, when you compare to make install{kernel,world} then frustrated is crawling
-
mzars/frustrated/freebsd-update
-
polarianskered: afaik its binary patching
-
polarianI haven't read all the src so I am not 100% how it works
-
mns0/36
-
skeredpolarian: I guess so. bspatch.
-
polarianhaha
-
polarianbullshit patch
-
polarianhahaha
-
polarianand bullshit diff
-
polarianhahahaa
-
polarianim sorry... I dont know why I found it so funny
-
MelMalikpolarian, it's not necessarily bad, just its community is a cult
-
polarianMelMalik: I dislike the lang :p
-
polariannot just because its community is a bunch of toxic teenagers
-
polarianusually soydev webdevs anyways
-
polarianI think its a language which tries to do everything, and does nothing well
-
polarianits low level, but then its not, its high level but then it snot
-
polarianits memory safe, but then its not as you need to use unsafe for low level
-
MelMalikthere's better ways to express «soydev» w/o falling to toxic rightist stereotypes
-
MelMalikfor a neutral descriptor of the typical meaning, you might try «framework-using web dev»; a pejorative might be «framework addict».

voy4g3r2has anyone experience the open termainl failed: not a terminal error when they perform a tmux a on a remote server?
-
voy4g3r2i am currently trying to connect to my server, which has running tmux sessions, and when i try to do a tmux a i get an error open terminal failed: not a terminal.. never saw this before..
-
isleyyeah, your client and server versions are mismatched. it was in the changelog, and the pkg message.
-
voy4g3r2uhh
-
voy4g3r2i am still on 14.3
-
voy4g3r2that is very odd
-
isleyversion of tmux, not freebsd.
-
voy4g3r2errr, that is what i get for not paying attention
-
voy4g3r2i do not recall but if you say, i will run with it :)
-
isleycheck 'pkg info -D tmux' on that host.
-
rwpvoy4g3r2, Are you connecting to it over ssh and forgot to include the -t option?
-
ridcullythe terminal error is a red herring. the problem is very likely the update
-
rwpAlthough I appreciate the high reliability of FreeBSD and the ability to achieve high uptime sometimes it is still a good idea to reboot the system.
-
ridcullyor you could just wait that nothing important is running anymore and then pkill tmux and go from there
-
voy4g3r2rwp: i tried that option and did not work
-
voy4g3r2ridcully: it looks like that will have to be the way.. even though i got some stuff
-
voy4g3r2we shall see if my python code can handle the abrupt stoppage.. which it should
-
voy4g3r2well it is all fixed and even killed the wrong tmux in the process :)
-
voy4g3r2thank you
-
voy4g3r2and look at that my python program detected the down LLM embedding model and restarted flawlessly
-
voy4g3r2sweet!

Matt|homeibb.co/album/z8Qzf9 <-- i made a philly. theoretically.
