pity them, forgive and move on

i just updated my OS and pkgs and now on my vm, i3 doesn't open an alacritty window when i type meta + enter key combo. but the host machine works fine and it was updated at the same time. anyone else run into that recently?

13.2 running latest pkgs

polyex: I think someone else mentioned a similar issue unless you asked the same earlier. Hmm...

ya i did like 8 hours ago

Oh

what's the email address to report a security bug?

oh, security-officer@

does freebsd-update support 13.1->14.0 upgrades?

KungFuJesus: no, you need to be on latest 12.4 or 13.2 to get the freebsd-update errata for upgrading to 14.0

KungFuJesus: however, in practice, you can probably upgrade from 13.1 and replace /usr/include/c++/v1/__string from 14.0's base.txz by hand to work around the errata.

KungFuJesus: relevant EN (which is not fixed in 13.1): freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-EN-23:12.freebsd-update.asc

unixwitch: also opening a bug and marking it security will assign the bug correctly and it'll be tracked. (bugzilla makes the bug secret, when you choose security issue)

oh, speaking of SOA, how do you parse hostmaster contact in SOA if the username has full stops

(just a silly thought)

Remilia: if the username has full stops they must be escaped with \

bobby\.tables.foobar.com

If a username in an email address has periods, should it also end with one like a FQDN?

morning folks

morning :D

Remilia, modern bind versions should support the @.

Not sure what specific version added that.

host -t soa trioptimum.com

I am surprised they didn't just provide an escape mechanism for @ such as doubling it passes it through. Then allow the previous expansion to the zone file handle. Then it would be crtxreavr@@@. with two "@@" becoming one "@" and one becoming "trioptimum.com".

Not that I don't think this is better. It's just the other is the way things most often happened.

Title: QNAP introduces Thunderbolt 4 All-Flash NASbook storage

If I didn’t already have a spiffing arm64 one

is this a NAS dedicated to flash storage, not even designed to hold spinning platters? o_O

i'm getting old

mtu: i haven't had moving parts in my computers in a loooooong time

surely, there are fans (:

next up: getting rid of those

who needs actively cooled computers on a planet that's on fire

powermac cube ? no fan needed

cooling the room with solar energy in the summer would be the most efficient thing

Wat

You do know cooling solutions work by heating up other areas more, and on average generate more heat regardless where the electricity comes from?

of course. that's why you have a radiator outside the house (or an air exhaust running out the window) when you operate a heat pump for cooling

I think a fan and heatsink is more energy effiecent. Not sure tho. Perhaps compressors are more effiecent than I think

But the planet is not on fire

is forums.freebsd.org still a thing ? The page fails to load for me. There's an xhr / ajax request that always has a connection reset.

Works for me

works here

Thanks
