yuripv: depending on the version of FreeBSD, it's either ~330 or ~74 bytes per record, iirc.

A good rule of thumb is 5GB memory per 1TB of used diskspace.

debdrup: thanks.

It's perhaps also worth mentioning that the current implementation leaves a lot of performance on the table; Matt Ahrens did a back-of-napkin proposal for a reimplementation of dedup that could speed it up by ~1000x.

debdrup: thanks (again). ~1000x speed would be nice.

Inside a jail can you change INADDR_LOOPBACK? I have a c/cpp program that's using it and since I can't (or don't want) have 127.0.0.1 it would be nice to rename that.

Unless if I'm wrong about 127.0.0.1 in a jail? That won't conflict/overlap/share with the host?

if you set vnet, you will have your own loopback interface and other interfaces, but then you will need to configure connectivity for the jail, if needed

is there demand paging, and is there a way to hack the demand paging? I seem to have a problem where it feels like an application needs to swap in for me to use it, but I'm not swapping (I actually don't have a drum mounted.)

(actually, don't answer the "is there a way to hack" part. I just want to understand if my speculations on why things are slow on a fast workstation are in any way founded.)

The funny thing, to me at least, is that John Dyson and David Greenman both worked at AT&T at the time.

hi all

hey all

after some advice, my new preloved server I just bought arived today. I currently use Debian on a dual xeon HP Z820 with some vms, media and stuff. I really want the host OS to be FreeBSD but the installation is a barrier.

I'm looking at this kind of headless guide but it's probably a bit beyond me as partioning slices on command line is not a strong point.

Title: Installing FreeBSD manually (no installer) | The FreeBSD Forums

Fudge: see the SCRIPTING section of bsdinstall(8).

Ie. man.freebsd.org/bsdinstall#SCRIPTING since I'm assuming you don't have access to a FreeBSD system since you're trying to install it.

debdrup: thanks will erad now

autopart looks nice, my 9yo will be reading the screen for me hense probs too

maybe bootstrap will be easier

hi

how can i install sway in freebsd

i am new to bsd

in installed sway using `pkg install sway`

and when i try to run `sway` i get XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set

my user is in the video group

docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/wayland and more specifically docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/wayland/#wayland-sway

Title: Chapter 6. Wayland | FreeBSD Documentation Portal

thank you

(If you followed the instructions there and still have a problem, let us know so we can fix/clarify it.)

ok

Also, welcome to FreeBSD.

thank you

when i execute `doas seatd start` my shell dont come back and when i use `ctrl + c` it says that seatd is stoped

varaindemian: .

.oO( Hunh. From some of the screenshots, "sway" seemed to be a tiling WM💩; hell with that )

nakibrayan: ?

you didn't understand my question ?

varaindemian: ok i am sorry i taged you insted of V_PauAmma_V

ah k

V_PauAmma_V: when i execute `doas seatd start` my shell dont come back and when i use `ctrl + c` it says that seatd is stoped

varaindemian: :)

is X less secure then wayland

i followed the seteps in docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/wayland/#wayland-sway

Title: Chapter 6. Wayland | FreeBSD Documentation Portal

and when i start sway i get `ERROR: cannot create backend`

nakibrayan: you are probably missing a graphics driver but I am not sure

what should i use with freebsd (sudo or doas)

none of them is installed by default

nakibrayan, matter of taste. (I use sudo because I'm used to it, but others prefer doas.) And yeah, you probably need to install drm-kmod: (as root) pkg install drm-kmod

Then in /etc/rc.conf, you need to specify the appropriate driver for your GPU. (I need to AFK for a while, but someone else should be able to help you figure out which driver you need and how to load it on boot.)

Oh, they left.

angry_vincent sure

Hello :) I've been building an Emacs dev environment with ezjail, and was wondering how people tend to manage their network interfaces. Most guides I've read suggest manually creating and removing them, but I was wondering if it might be reasonable to extend ezjail to manage those, too.

Hey, section 1.3.5 of the Handbook says: "For localized versions replace the "en" with language prefix of choice. Be aware that some of the localised versions might be out of date…"

duncan_bayne: there is /usr/share/examples/jails/jib, you can add this to jail_$jailname_exec_prestart and jail_$jailname_exec_poststop (requires a jail_$jailname_vnet_interface)

Someone should decide on one spelling of "localized" in the whole book.

duncan_bayne: see signal.eu.org/blog/2020/11/18/conve…reebsd-ezjail-configuration-to-vnet for details

Well, it should probably be s/localised/localized/ because that's what the localization chapter uses throughout.

satanist: Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for 🤘

duncan_bayne: I have also a small patch for ezjail to allow adding an vnet interface on creation, still missing the prestart/poststop option
