I know 802.11ac is comming but I'm just curious to know why openbsd has had support for a few years now with the iwx driver and not freebsd

maybe the developer who has the motivation doesn't have the card

ahh

trying to pass thought a PCIe card to a bhyve, anyone have any experience with this?

crb: whats up?

I've never passed through graphics, but I have network cards and xhci controllers. The wiki covers the process very well

I don't really get how resolvconf is supposed to work. I wrote a resovconf.conf with "name_servers=2606:4700:4700::1001" and "name_servers_append="1.0.0.1". When I manually call `resolvconf -u`, those properly get added to the resolv.conf. But after a reboot, the file is back to only containing my hoster's nameservers.

how about using resolvconf=NO and manually managing resolv.conf? It reads to me like that is what you want to do in your case

nimaje: I suppose that would be an option, yes, thanks! Still, it's weird that resolvconf.conf seems to be ignored unless explicitly calling resolvconf -u.

yeah, no idea, probably a bug

is there anything particularly wrong about a cli util or command taking options that are numbers? like foo -1 ...

demido: no, this is extremely common with -4 and -6, not to mention ls -1 which has been around forever, xargs -0, etc

ok tyvm

try to avoid variables as number arguments though, like nice -10

huh? sorry don't get the distinction

"ls -1" is a specific flag called "1". "nice -10" accepts any number as a flag: nice -1, nice -42, nice -100, ... that's not flag, it should be an argument, like nice -n 10 (which is how it works nowadays)

ahhh ya. got it tyvm

The www/chromium build pulls in all LLVM versions as build- or runtime dependencies between 13 and 20. /usr/local is at 33 GB in no time. (not a complaint, just impressed)

Howdy folks, is anyone here using pf's os detection ability? I see that the pf.os file hasn't been updated in over a decade in both freebsd and openbsd's source

The www/chromium build directory is at 30 GB. The overall size of this VM, which already built firefox, doubled with the chromium build. (not a complaint, just impressed)

Is this a known issue I have to work around ? When I set net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge=1 on the host, then I can't add or remove members from pf tables in a jail. When I try, the pfctl -tadd -Ttable someip would just hang, and pf.conf hangs when I try to add members inline (table <table> { ... }). If I toggle net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge back to 0, all is good again, and then i can toggle it back

once more after modifying a table. A bit cumbersome though.

cracauer: erm, *all* llvm versions? why?

i've been happily building chromium with just 1 version, albeit not from ports. that really shouldn't be necessary

/14/13

err

dstolfa: I am just reporting which packages were pulled in for chromium or dependencies thereof. Chromium itself uses llvm19.

ah, ok. that makes more sense

thanks for confirming

I don't think it makes too much sense :-) I wonder whether there's a good tool to print a dependency tree from ports.

cracauer: well, the chromium part makes sense. i haven't built my own ports repository in a few years so i don't know if the ports part makes sense :D

my understanding was that chromium itself was pulling multiple versions of llvm, which to the best of my knowledge is unnecessary

To clarify further, this is from `make install-missing-packages`, which pulls in dependencies from packages.

radhitya: I dont recommend self hosting if you want stability and uptime, things break, internet goes down, ISPs block server traffic... headache.

IMO there's pros and cons to both and the sweet spot is usually somewhere in the middle. :) I appreciate some of the services I selfhost within my LAN and wouldn't want to rely on the cloud for everything, but for me, serving them to the wider internet is not an option because electricity usually goes down, etc in my area.

what do you self host?

A few services with one service per host: gitea, hydroxide (mail), vaultwarden, ollama (AI dev), and with plans to add some databases

polarian: thanks for the advice, but why not? so far, i dont have a problem :)
