divlamir: appreciated :)

hey guys, My I3-10210U, wifi & bluettoth is Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 freebsd, according to documentation is unstable. What dongle wifi/bluetooth to do you guys suggest, for a freebsd desktop enviroment?

Thanks kindly !

oops it's i5

Thanks !!

@jauntyd Thanks, is that just wifi not a combined with bluetooth? Is Bluetooth unstable on FreeBsd ? It's not a big issue as I don't use bluetooth much!

biggest new features in 15?

kerneldove: feel free to select one for yourself :) cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/RELNOTES

looks like no real big features (tcp splicing is pretty big i think tho) but mainly cleanups? (not a bad thing at all)

divlamir: No problem, everything now is working fine

Look like I will enable hw.acpi.reset_video permanently

kerneldove: I'm looking forward to newsyslog having optional compression. Say you're using ZFS, all the newsyslog.conf files say to compress. I think 15 allows you to say: use null compression.

dvl: Isn't it enough to remove the J flag? That's what I've been doing for quite some time.

vkarlsen: Yes, you can remove the flags, now you have to manage that merge with every upgrade.

dvl: True

dvl, does that mean you can set newsyslog to not compress, so it will just use the zfs compression?

kerneldove: Precisely.

so right now is there a kind of double compression going on then?

It lets the same configuration accomplish the same results on both UFS and ZFS

kerneldove: For me, it's more the file extension change. I have to use bzcat instead of cat... for the compressed files.

good practical point

reviews.freebsd.org/D43169 and reviews.freebsd.org/D43165 for those interested

is null compression the perfect compression method that achieves infinite ratio by sending the file to /dev/null

Working on fixing that old broken ports :P

kerneldove: cyric: RELNOTES is not exhaustive

it's commonly "crap, I forgot to tag that commit, better add it to RELNOTES"

That explains it, the notes looked kinda short...

LOL, /dev/null: syslog for minimalists

`git log --grep Relnotes --reverse 712806fc4b5470eb7d9ce537e3cdf3b386455d86..main` is a little better of an approximation, but probably still missing notable things

~123 commit messages that mention relnotes according to that at the moment

kevans: Thank you.

kevans what's your fav new 15 feature?

Since "pkg check -r <package>" no longer works to reset checksums as of 13.5-RELEASE, how does one go about resolving a bogus checksum mismatch report? Bug report here: bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=277769, with my 2 cents added today. I am not sanguine it will be fixed soon.

unixman_home: i don't know the answer, but something involving ports and pkg is probably not related to a specific release as none of those are shipped with the base system

i.e., everyone has the same ports and pkg

ivy, understood. I think a change to "pkg check" like that is probably across all the releases. I mention 13.5-RELEASE because that is what I am currently using. I still would like to know how to clean up my nightly reports to clear out bogus checksum "errors".

unixman_home: You and I both. I've been looking for a solution on and off for a while now. Nothing yet.

ek: re: your cshrc issue, see bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=289097

ek, I feel your pain. ;)

i don't usually mfc pkgbase changes but this is annoying enough for 14.x that it will go into stable

ek, I have a forum post at forums.freebsd.org/threads/package-checksum-errors.98857, if you want to add your comments.

ivy: Thank you!

unixman_home: Will take a look. Thanks.

kerneldove: the ones that I've worked on. :-)

kevans: so the best feature in 15.0 is wireguard increment add/remove of AllowedIPs?

ivy: Any word about the checksum mismatch of the kernel linker.hints, by chance?

I don't think that's a prob in 15-P, but it has happened to multiple 14.3's I've tested on (with pkgbase).
