darwin: what terminal?

oh, the ttys

Reverse video on the vt console would be quite harsh for my eyes.

rwp: when have you last seen the sun?

darwin: forums.freebsd.org/threads/how-to-c…und-color-of-freebsd-terminal.69893 seems to cover all the bases

meena, That bright thing? Up in the sky? It burns! It burns!

meena, :-) reddit.com/r/oddlyterrifying/commen…compared_to_a_lovecraftian_deity_is

try sun screen and sun glasses, avoid garlic

"pretty sure it screams at us sometimes"

more like all the time, but, yeah

In more seriousness I have always had a lot of "floaters" in my eyes and with a white background they are all brightly lit and very distracting. A dark background is less distracting.

thanks

the stuff in that thread doesn't work. The echo command says 'illegal variable name'

darwin: what shell you on?

csh

hi, is it possible to install freebsd on hetzner cloud machine ?

Thanat0z: yes

I have a bunch of instances in Hetzner

amd64, the Aarch64 machines don't work very well yet

Thanat0z: you start an instance with Linux, then mount the FreeBSD ISO and install FreeBSD: im.eena.me/uploads/b5bc84870f5491de…fb2f5e1b976ff98cfc94f359fbce8de.jpg

hi meena sorry i was away.

i have one server with freebsd12 a vm as i remember i had download the ( iso or the img not sure) i make it tar then gz and i use custom install script

but i dont remember if i extracted the files from img or iso or if i zipped as it was

ohhhhhhhhh

thei have iso images on AVAILABLE IMAGES i just see it so good!!!!!!!

Thanat0z: yes

!!!!!!!! thank you

! thank you

thank you

error while fetching ftp://ftp1.freebsd.org/pub is netinstall iso mounted and cannot resolve the domains bad luck

what is this ftp you speak of

tying to install freebsd in hetzner

i remove firewall

maybe that was trying again

are SSH moduli portable? I want to create fresh ones for my raspberry PI, but i'd like to use a much faster machine

that faster machine is linux, x86, the rpi is freebsd, aarch64

problem solved:)

i'll ask in openssh, that's more apppropriate I think

yourfate: I'm not sure what you mean

yourfate: oh, you mean man.freebsd.org/moduli(5) not some fancy way to pluralize module

Title: moduli(5)

yes

the fancy plural of modulo :p

isn't it funny that most languages have a modulo operator, an operation used maybe once a quarter, but also, most languages can't agree on how it should work?

Is that before or after throwing in negative numbers?

there are like four possible mathematical meanings, and it's not obvious which one to pick

I'm pretty sure modulo is used more often than that.

actually I think there are 6 possible modulo operators

maybe 8, but two of them are probably not useful

(corresponding to floor division, ceiling division, euclidean division, truncating division, rounding division, centered division)

xtile: how often have you used any operator this past week? how often was that operator +? and how often was it anything else?

only used any operator in my head, lately xP but I did use the modulo operator when thinking about poker hands.

in my head.

it is somewhat annoying that although truncating division is probably the least useful of those, it's one of the most commonly implemented choices for the / operator

my use of arithmetic operators goes: 80% +, 10% - (mostly -1) and then everything else

i agree that's reasonable, meena

generating the moduli on another machine worked btw

I'm not saying that we don't need these operations, BTW, far from it

it's just that they are often taking up precious symbols from other useful uses in a language

like / or % ?

i mean, theoretically all the symbols in a language could be replaced with functions

(euclidean-quotient x y)

i do find it intriguing that ksh adds one more symbol to the C-like set, ** for pow()

RhodiumToad: yes

I think that there should be two pow versions, one for nice positive integers

And one for all the rest and especially floating point which is not nice and has a list of domain errors about as long as my arm

just return a complex number and let the caller sort it out :-)

that only helps with negatives to the power of non-integers

what other domain errors are you thinking of?

I think it's time i invest in a second hand PC and fit some second hand Infiniband NICs inside. Any recommendations? doesn't have to be very powerful, just needs to be FreeBSD compatible and cheap

are you allowed near h/w now?

it's becoming a necessity.

meena, I use cheap re-used dells

Title: Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF Desktop (Intel Core i7 3.4 GHz, 16 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, Intel HD Graphics 530, Windows 10 Pro) (Renewed) : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

Title: Dell Optiplex 3040 SFF i5 6500 8GB RAM 240GB SSD HDMI HD Graphics Win 10 Pro (Renewed) : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

both work perfectly with freebsd

the first one I think is the one with the nvme in it that does bhyve stuff

the second one has neither bhyve or virtualization support though

oh and the card I used for network (purchased seperately) was a <Intel(R) PRO/1000 PT 82571EB/82571GB (Copper) dual port low profile

its onboard is a ... RealTek 8168/8111 B/C/CP/D/DP/E/F/G PCIe Gigabit Ethernet

daemon: I don't see a price?

Got three questions; 1- I've a vm running FreeBSD 13.2, single disk, ZFS stripe (I assume that's Raid-0?), I now got second disk in my system (ada1), is this command enough to add it in my pool; zpool add zroot ada1? 2- Would that delete any data of mine in the first disk? 3- is "ada1" the correct term for second disk? I saw it on dmesg output, the first disk being 'ada0', but "zpool status -v" lists it as: ada0p3, any idea on this too?

meena, should be at the top middle

in GBP

the first system is 184.85

the second system is 84.99

these might just be in the uk but your country will have someone selling them for I would image around the same price

ebay also has them usually as well

just ex-office stuff

daemon: Ireland gets most of its did amazon stuff from UK

will they fit (two infiniband) PCIe cards?

tercaL, 1- and 3- IIRC, no and no. You first need to create a freebsd-zfs partition on ada1 if you haven't already (man gpart) and use that partition name (it will be something like "ada1p<number>") 2- It shouldn't delete existing data, no.

my mpd5 service cannot stop. i try service mpd5 restart and i get "Waiting for PIDS" even when i try to reboot i cannot because of this pid. how can i see if tehre is an error on logs?

V_PauAmma_V: Am I wrong?; I thought, when adding a new disk to an existing ZFS pool, you can use the entire disk as is, without partitioning it. ZFS operates at the block device level, directly managing the disks or partitions.

Therefore, I can add the entire disk (ada1) to my ZFS pool without creating a partition on it?

Not for a root disk (got bitten by that one) and IIRC discouraged for non-root disks as well.

s/disk/vdev/

See "vdev" in docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/zfs/#zfs-term .

Title: Chapter 21. The Z File System (ZFS) | FreeBSD Documentation Portal

V_PauAmma_V: "This can be an entire disk (such as /dev/ada0 or /dev/da0) or a partition (/dev/ada0p3)" ?

It says.

See "Caution" below.

any help?

mpd5 never stops even with kill -9 {pid}

Thanat0z, my uninformed guess is the process is stuck in the kernel, maybe waiting for something that'll never happen. But I don't know enough about FreeBSD internals to tell you how to troubleshoot it.

i change the mpd5.conf and now is fixed amazing.

my mobile connect to pptp server and to l2tp server fine if is connected thru Mobile data. If i use my home wifi ( 192.168.1.xxx) no connection what a mess

hi all

hi FreeBSD People !

We are running our local Turkish Community and our website is up and running and we have a Codeberg organization !

hwpplayer1, Congratulations!

cool

i can connect with my [Mobile Data] to my pptp vpn server but not with my Router how is that i am using Mpd5 any idea any one?

servus debdrup ?& hello all, i changed my plans

Hic non sunt servi.
