how can i profile a rust binary to see where it's doing its work? for optimizing

does valgrind run breddy good on freebsd?

i didnt have any problem with it

kerneldove: that's more of a rust question than a freebsd one

Where is the global zshenv file located in FreeBSD?

Hund: /usr/local/etc/zshenv, unless you selected the option when building shells/zsh to put it in /etc

it's usually user-bounded

csh is set for root and i personally don't like touch that

just do all in csh in case of root

root's shell has been /bin/sh since 13.0

although if you want to keep it as /bin/csh, that's obviously fine

why have i done in csh

ivy: Hm. I must have done some sort of typo. I tried that path, but it didn't work, and now.. it works. :D

oh 13

I never change the shell for root. :)

(proud)

is it possible to set epoch date on /usr/src/release/amd64/mkisoimages.sh ?

Hey!

I want to run a secure and private system

I was thinking about using FreeBSD as my main OS and then virtualizing Arch and Windows, where I could do my main work

anyone have experience with virtualizing Arch on FreeBSD? Is it stable enough?

not sure how running a secure, private system with a windows vm keeps it secure and private

but i've virtualized both linux and windows using bhyve and both were exceedingly stable

Well by virtualising Windows I would sandbox it in a way right?

And especially on a FreeBSD system, where additionally (if I am not mistaken, I am a complete FreeBSD newbie so correct me if I am wrong) everything is containerised with jails

I need to use Windows for work at times since I work in automation and a majority of the software runs on Windows

no, everything is not containerized in jails, unless you containerize it in jails or other means

how do you plan on connecting to this windows? rdp? perhaps you should test the latiency before making any broad decisions

Well I was thinking about doing all my work on the Windows VM through for example bhyve

I'm not sure how USB and other peripheral passthrough would work though (or if it even would)

that is why I am asking beforehand for opinions

Also I would be interested to know how well RDP works on FreeBSD to Windows

if anyone has experimented beforehand

why don't you just try it and see for yourself

there's no usb passthrough or other peripherial unless you lock the entire pci id to the VM

I am planning to, but again, I am just trying to see if anyone else has done it before as well

How would I lock the PCI ID to the VM? Is it possible?

thx!

Hrm. What is libsys? Just saw the recent advisory, and a system library seems like a move away from portability, depending on what it is. Without knowing more, it reminds me of libelogind0.

Does anyone know why my userland and kernel would be at different patch levels for 14.3-RELEASE?

Was it a fresh install or an upgrade? If upgrade, how did you upgrade?

I upgraded using freebsd-upgrade from 13.3. I ended up with -p4 for my userland and -p3 for my kernel.

Err, freebsd-update rather

Didn’t reboot after kernel update?

I did :\

Now it says there are no updates, so I'm kind of at a loss

freebsd-version -k and uname -a don’t match?

You sure you don’t have some beadm weirdness going on?

They do, but ``freebsd-version -k`` and ``freebsd-version -u`` should match, no?

I don't think the userland and kernel -p# always match when you're using binary updates. I think that depends on whether the most recent binary updated was for just the kernel, just the userland, or for both.

s/updated/update/

Interesting...so it's OK that the userland and kernel are at different patch levels?

Would the pkg-static thing do the trick?

I can check my older laptop in a while. I still use binary updates on it.

And it's also at 14.3 release, so I can compare.

pkg-static upgrade -f is usually used for major updates though isn’t it?

that just reinstall pkg-2.2.2 for me

reinstalls, rather

Hi guys

phlux: freebsd-version(1): "... freebsd-update(8), which does not update the kernel version unless the kernel itself was affected by the latest patch."

Nice, there you go.

Ahh, thanks y'all :)

I'm glad you asked, because I hadn't updated to -p4 yet on that old laptop, so I'll do that now.

Yeah, when I do the 'freebsd-update fetch', it shows what will be updated. For the -4 update, those files are all userland.

It feels good to have a FreeBSD machine again. I'm a Linux Systems Engineer by day, so I haven't messed with FreeBSD too much since the 4.3 days :)

Needed to rent a dedicated server for some personal projects and figured I'd get back to my roots.

:o

I got the error!

bge0: APE event 0x00020510 send timed out

When just the pc starts up..

Someone said that problem faced him on Openbsd..

and no fix for it..

"Argh, I gave up on it, used a completely different pc. I tried all combinations, new network cables, different switch to the modem/router, could not get anything to work. The pc itself works fine, it’s running FreeBSD with Fluxbox on just one network card, the original bge0.

Funnily enough, the new pc still uses Broadcom nics, Everything works correctly.

Thanks for replying though.

"

Very sad :(

It's a bug..

V_PauAmma_V: ahaha, I said it was a NIC driver issue and it is

This an unsolved bug in freebsd and openbsd

Broadcom NICs are somewhat blackboxy

So what is the fix?

use a different NIC

"Hello! I have installed OpenBSD on a HP Compaq Pro 6305 SFF, which has an integrated BCM5761 NIC. Although it is detected and shows up as interface bge0 (both in bsd.rd and the installed system), it doesn't seem to actually work - it does not get an ip address with dhcp and even if I assign ip addresses manually, it still doesn't work. "

The fix "I updated both the BIOS and the NIC's firmware. It now works in both Windows and OpenBSD.

In case someone has the same problem, here are the links to the updaters (note both of them extract a folder that contains the actual programs and the READMEs):"

Looked like is updating

not a guaranteed fix

I try to avoid certain Intel NICs, all Broadcom NICs, and some Atheros for anything important

He uses the same pc I use HP Compaq Pro 6305 SFF

what prevents you from trying the solution then o.o

So I think it's the fix

All those guys with this problem have the same PC

I think we need to announce that on Freebsd wiki for HP Compaq Pro 6305 SFF

Remilia: Could I run those updates on WINEHQ

*can

I don't know

does wine allow direct hardware access?

Remilia: I will search.. you know something, my internet is quota 140gb (which the least available) and it's too much for me. I monthly use under 9GB, so I was thinking about continue using my sim (It's more cheaper).

alias tun5G="ssh -C -D 127.0.0.1:40000 some-internet-ssh-server"

you can point your firefox to localhost port 40000 SOCKS5 proxy and all your traffic will be compressed to save gigabyte quota

aicaic: Nice, but I am saying that 140GB is too much not too low (The most amount I ever I used was 20GB back in 2021)

So good it will be good idea to switch to sim (cheaper)

and they now want to remove 140GB option; to pay for more expensive ones like 200GB which the double the price

aic: I think if done that I will use monthly only my 2gb which is the free amount in my subscription = Free internet!

I am using Invidious which better than bloated youtube, and saves alot

Back

People using Winehq is a big NO

*saying

Also, guys try Invidious (if you didn't try it), It so customizable, no algorithm, just show the content of your subscriptions (and some other stuff).. But it's sadly now under attack from those crap called "AI", like my website :(

invidious is nice yes, I use rss+mpv for youtube, this is gold

Yeah I was think about that also

I listen to really long videos (+2 hours) while working; so I am using it.. it saves a lot (nearly 3Gb/month)

*uses

I will Windows PE or Freedos for updating

*use

why are you so concerned to save data?

I think it's a good idea

Which make now able to use only sim

*me

you use 5g internet?

yeah

It's alot

on sim

jozan: Just be away form bloated stuff, and you will same as I use.. This what the internet really designed for

my personnal suckless war has started long ago and its going well

but i do like a good fiber internet anyway

huh, the 5g providers here i believe are 'unlimited'

5g providers?

I am saying I use only 5GB not my internet is 5GB (mine is 140GB)

And I am paying a lot for nothing, so using sim card now is better (Like paying for 15GB which I will use most them is better and cheaper, and keep the other subscription freezed until I want to run some kind of server or something needs a lot internet)

Having a 2Gbit fiber internet connection (no limit) has, uh, ruined me. But my spouse works from home so it's necessary.

wavefunction: how much does it cost in your currency?

$95 USD / month

Now this crazy O_o all the stuff I talked about near the smartphone that I got for few days, is now coming for me in recommendation on youtube, exactly the same I was saying

I have dreams of going low- / off-grid for network, but cellular providers out here are garbage.

i have the same 2G down / unlimited and its 50 EUR / month here

Here is better than landline

They are watching us XD

jozan: Yeah, see, that's what I'm talking about.

I found many people talking about that but never believed

Retrofan: As long as you have a NAS / local storage, go for it

?

for sim?

Retrofan: Yeah, I mean, you're not wasting anything. Being happy with smaller allotments means the providers have less of a hold over you

Yeah I save nearly everything I need on my local storage

I still have downloads from 2005

download as much as you can and then never pay for internet anymore

Retrofan: How big is your local storage, out of curiosity

I think it's 2TB

And it takes all I need

Fantastic.

I'm a little jealous.

most of my files is just under 100kb

So I store billions of them

I'm kind of blown away at how much packages are used vs ports these days

It used to be ports or nothing

I know some things were available via pkg_add back in the day, but not everything iirc..

Lots of devoted (and more importantly, trusted) FreeBSD users building packages now-a-days.

so is this a thing for 15? arc support?

it seems like it was merged

and if so would transcoding work in jellyfin or plex?
