shbrngdo: i have compiled my updates since i started using FreeBSD, the only time I use poudriere are for port build and even so small edits don't need a full blown poudriere setup as the internal ports testing is enough
-
cpet
and I will probably continue to do it even more now, I have a build script that bsically just says Compiling kernel: done Compiling world: Done would you like to install the kernel and world [yY/nN] ehich can be bypassed by adding a .dontbitch heh
-
cpet
cause I really dont need to see all the build magic
-
shbrngdo
vkarlsen - here were a couple of machines like that, had to toggle a boot address then load the tape and hit the button. things like that
-
shbrngdo
The PDP-11/34 had a better system though. Data General Eclipse needed the toggle
-
cpet
the PDP was a simple system
-
shbrngdo
ack - 11/34 had a ROM-based loader and a keypad where you could examine RAM. OInly toyed with it, usually just type in command on console to boot it
-
cpet
my freebsd system runs like a champ once you add in X it crashes every 2 days
-
shbrngdo
video driver probably. some nvidia xfree86 style drivers leak like sieves
-
shbrngdo
NV will not fix for older hardware probably
-
shbrngdo
they shouild open source the old stuff
-
cpet
my AMD works like a champ
-
cpet
my i915 intel device does not
-
shbrngdo
ouh - I have never had trouble with intel vid - maybe use VESA see if that fixes it or look for bad HW
-
cpet
this is a 2025 CPU
-
cpet
i expect issues
-
cpet
the device has a manu date of 11:30:2025 heh
-
shbrngdo
ok driver not up-to-date then. someone's gonna want your crash dumps
-
cpet
its up to date based on the latest drm from ports
-
cpet
the only interesting thing is the driver wants tigerlake firmare when the CPU is alderlake
-
cpet
so I may test it and remove the tigerlake stuff
-
cpet
now I dont know wtf the guc and tuc stuff is but
-
cpet
i dont think alderlake should want tigerlake tuc/guc stuff
-
shbrngdo
well I'd guess drivers are gonna be up to a year behind bleeding edge - is it a closed BLOB or all source?
-
cpet
intel doesnt have blobs lik nvidia
-
cpet
kinda wish I went with the ryzen as i have never had issues with amdgpu
-
cpet
my desktop has ran with uptime of 90+ days with X running with no issues
-
shbrngdo
ok so can be troubleshot. Linux driver compare miht malsop reveal something [probably have shared code between them]. Is it Xorg or that newer fork - they use differing ABI's, just szayin'
-
cpet
but this is a gen 14 CPU so i dont expect it to run "yet"
-
cpet
i havent used wayland with it yet
-
shbrngdo
I wouldn't bother.
-
cpet
dont think we have a choice
-
» shbrngdo holds nose at mention of the 'W' word
-
cpet
think the gfx world is Linux based or else we would still be using our own drivers vs ported linuxkpi stuffs
-
shbrngdo
Xorg has a fork now, just may not be in ports. I'll resist W like I have systemd, pulse audio, and anything "Poettering" on Linux
-
cpet
cracking sounds kill pule sound works fine (TM)
-
cpet
heh
-
shbrngdo
-
cpet
yeah saw that
-
cpet
thats not in ports
-
cpet
and I dont think it would fix my intel issue
-
shbrngdo
If NV and AMD cannot keep their drivers up to date with X I'll stick with hardware that CAN.
-
cpet
the issues lies with drm\* not X itself
-
shbrngdo
My work relies on use of the 'DISPLAY' variable
-
cpet
latest is 6.9 while the latest kernel is 6.18
-
cpet
so it lagging a lot :P
-
cpet
but i dont expect a gen 14 CPU to be 100% useful
-
shbrngdo
Xlibre has a different ABI so the drivers need to be recompiled BUT should work with minimal adjustments... probably
-
cpet
most linux distro default to Wayland as thats the norm
-
shbrngdo
I deliberately exclude that option. W drives me to religious warfare heh
-
shbrngdo
like using Devuan for Linux boxnen and VMs. There was an attempt to have DreeBSD on Debian a while back though. Wish it would have happened!
-
cpet
I wasnt happy when freebsd decided to remove drm and make it a port
-
cpet
as thats just makes it harder for average joe to un X and a desktop
-
cpet
something I like about openbsd
-
shbrngdo
well... drm is a "slap on" when you look at how X evolved... but lots of things are ports-only now, including bind and perl (and gcc)
-
cpet
whats the pint in gcc when you have clang ?
-
cpet
a .000001% speed increase doesn't sppeal to me
-
shbrngdo
15 warns you that the psm driver is depracated - supposed to use that other thing now [but xorg-server is not hauling it in as an auto dependency - oops]
-
cpet
i have a USB mouse
-
cpet
so thats not a problem
-
cpet
and shouldnt be for most people
-
shbrngdo
it uses USB mice also - supposed to help with hot-plugging if yiou also use a tablet
-
cpet
yeap im sure that would piss off the people who still use a 90's era PC
-
cpet
i have a recent MSI mother baord with a PS/2 dual port
-
shbrngdo
evdev - that's the one - replaces functionality of moused and psm
-
cpet
not sure why though
-
cpet
bios says I have a com port as well
-
shbrngdo
PS2 still needed for older KVMs and a lot of people [prefer PS2 KB performance, like ganers
-
cpet
but not sure how to actually use it if there is no DB9 port
-
shbrngdo
my dual-port boards do not sdeem to work with my KVM switch though. I probably need to rrplace it. That means running cavles... bleah
-
shbrngdo
I bought a splitter cable, mouse+KB female to singlwe 'dual port' male
-
cpet
i had a blackbox KVM
-
shbrngdo
works except with the KVM, so I end up using PS/2 to USB
-
cpet
however the IPKVM are exp as hell
-
cpet
most people like to use the most recent stuff i am more of "if it works leave it alone"
-
cpet
so i still run plasmas with x11
-
shbrngdo
I found a cheap 8-port online with cables, just need to get it. Next year. but is HDMI not VGA so may have to adapt one machine that does not have HDMI [it's not that old, had winders 10 on it, but not 11 compat]
-
» cpet likes to use KDE
-
cpet
:(
-
shbrngdo
also it only has USB but that means 2 easier-to-deasl-with cables to 8 machines (not 4). Netter.
-
cpet
my be another test to try and see if xfce4 runs better
-
shbrngdo
plasma = dpsce heater ha ha ha
-
shbrngdo
space heater
-
cpet
i stopped liking gnome after version 3
-
cpet
and I was a fan of E and even manage to create a mailing list and group for it
-
cpet
but they release so many releases that it makes it hard to keep up
-
shbrngdo
oh another thing I noticed, seems sendmail might be on its eay out, allegedly being replaced with dragonfly mail (go fig). My imap setup still needs updating to newest sendmail, gonna work on that next.
-
cpet
thats been a thing for a long time
-
cpet
we dont need a full blown mail MTA
-
cpet
shit the only reason for that is to have crontab be sent to us
-
cpet
when we can get rid of it by adding all that to a log file
-
shbrngdo
mate is a lot like 2, and cinnamon uses gtk 3 but also similar. Personally, as long as I can nuke 'Adwaita' from high orbit I'm fine with any gnome-like environment that does not force too wide of spacing between things (like gnome 3 panel)
-
cpet
ive grown to like my 2 options
-
cpet
xfce4 for low end HW KDE for higher end
-
cpet
anything named after a breakfast meal doesnt appeal to me
-
shbrngdo
I liked KDE until it got all MS Metro "2D FLATTY" especially window decorations. 'TraditionalOK' is what I typically use.
-
cpet
i like it cause its the most complete WM
-
cpet
i instal it and I have the most basic shit installed
-
cpet
while most others i need to customize
-
cpet
the fact that it looks or resembles windows means nothing to me
-
shbrngdo
it was like MS, Google, Gnome, KDE, and everyone else who'd never worled in console-only mode suddenly "felt" like the display ought to look like a 4 inch phone screen... with hideous color combos that blind you and too much white space
-
shbrngdo
its an irritation that no amount of hydrocortisone can stop... the 2D FLATTY vs 3D Skeuomorphic.
-
cpet
thats some deep shit man
-
cpet
hah
-
shbrngdo
fortunately in the OSS world we support thingass like TraditionalOK and so on. I have not had time but want to re-write a webkit-based browser that uses an early-2000's looking menu+yab system instead of hamburger menu
-
cpet
thats like going to FTX with only the bare minimal essentials
-
cpet
i wish netsurf was still a thing
-
shbrngdo
Komqueror used to be nice. I thought it did a great job of doin the minimum
-
cpet
if it runs the web and bare minimal youtube support
-
cpet
im in
-
cpet
shitbook, instashit, and all that other crap i dont care about
-
shbrngdo
youtube likes kto break older browsers. I don't know why the target has to remain moving like that...
-
cpet
but i need my youtubes ;/
-
shbrngdo
I hang out on X and use grok a lot. Grok saved me a few hours getting my system up in a VM
-
cpet
the AI shit from that asshat musk ?
-
shbrngdo
its knowledge of FreeBSD and Linux rival the ents
-
shbrngdo
sometimes it's wrong but so far it leads me in the right general direction
-
cpet
google does that for me
-
cpet
despite the hate here
-
cpet
let me ask on IRC and wait a day when I can search google
-
shbrngdo
google is too slow. too much tasil chassing on clickorama 'circular links'
-
cpet
yes google is slow if you are on a 56k modem
-
shbrngdo
I'd actually tell someone who's being too much of a n00b [not researching] to post on grok.com and save the output. write your own manual to RTFM, heh
-
cpet
back in the early 90's thats all you got when you asked
-
cpet
RTFM
-
shbrngdo
it's not bandwidth slow - it's "getting to the answer" sllow
-
cpet
shbrngdo: you need help with X RTFM
-
cpet
shbrngdo: you need help compiling freebsd RTFM
-
cpet
now you say that people get upset
-
cpet
or call you handicapped
-
cpet
heh
-
shbrngdo
heh, not that bad I hope, or IRC channels like this stiop being relevant
-
cpet
librechat stop being relvalnent when you have topic whores
-
cpet
asking you to goto #freebsd #x11 #help #$@
-
shbrngdo
in theory being old and foggy vision and using a cane would qualify
-
cpet
i have a 1100 page VA medical file
-
cpet
i think that qualifies more
-
cpet
heh
-
shbrngdo
seriously though lemme give you a gok I did...
-
cpet
i think we are the only ones here drinking beer
-
cpet
there is no other person that has as shity tpying as me
-
» cpet looks at shbrngdo
-
cpet
:p
-
shbrngdo
this - solved a specific problem with rsync in vbox -
x.com/i/grok/share/N2ECsTrJH5F1hrEaWwJB4ogjd
-
cpet
isnt that that AI shit?
-
cpet
i spent a day trying to block as many bots i could
-
cpet
next day I had the same shit but different IP's
-
cpet
gave up
-
cpet
now i just add in a regex with a block to my web server and it give 500 responces back
-
shbrngdo
yeah, but I use a fun trick with these things. 1) create a guest-level user, 2 allow ssh from the login I use with Xorg, 3) set up a shell script that invokes the browser in the context of that user using DISPLAY (yet another reason not to use W), and then it logs in to a different user, runs the invasive web page, and maybe dumps history on the way out, all in the context of guest user
-
shbrngdo
I do that for slack, X, and web sites where I must enable script. noscript for everything else
-
cpet
i just dont use that crap
-
cpet
its been what 3 years and X is still named as X formerlly twitter ?
-
shbrngdo
no choice for me - need slack for work, and bill paying needs script
-
cpet
never used slack
-
cpet
i remeber when I was still in and they wanted me to use that secure messaging shit and I refused
-
cpet
which made my squad leader to manayly send me SMS messages
-
cpet
heh
-
shbrngdo
but anyway the value here is that you have a history of all of your grok analyses. I clean it out once in a while, keep relevnt ones. Sometimes saves hours of brain-numbing circle-clicking
-
cpet
i dont want a history of anything I say
-
shbrngdo
yeag true grok.com does not save it if you use anonymously
-
cpet
this is why I pretty much refuse any sign ups from any services that isnt deemed necesary
-
shbrngdo
ack - same here - and the corollary, always go through privacy settings and disable all of it
-
cpet
i really wish that more sites used or offered yubikey auth
-
cpet
and I like that the VA id.me does
-
shbrngdo
and from a sandboxed login, which in FBSD and Linuc you can clone as different login home directories easily enough.
-
shbrngdo
VA - and Social Security and Medicare too.
-
cpet
yeah used to be just there ow auth
-
cpet
which I forgot my 32 char password and I had to get a letter sent with a new pass key
-
cpet
then they added id.me
-
cpet
never had to do it
-
shbrngdo
too much identy theft. At least there's no captchas, or if there were I forgot [now that I saved their cookies]
-
cpet
i havent had that much scams from the VA
-
shbrngdo
oh yeah is id.me the same asd the gummint ID site? One login or somethibng
-
cpet
login.gov is another
-
cpet
you need that to access usejobs.gov
-
shbrngdo
that's the one. I had to sign up through that, then it's doen.
-
shbrngdo
have not dealt with VA but technically is an option if I ever needed it. Unlikely now.
-
cpet
i goto the VA atleast once a week
-
shbrngdo
hopefully you are getting proper med care there.
-
cpet
as long as its not mental health related the VA isnt bad
-
cpet
i was bitten by a dog at the park and went ot the VA and was taken care of paid nothing
-
cpet
the issue is mental health that shit is so fucked it aint funny
-
shbrngdo
I'm in a Navy town (San Diego), could probably do that if I ever needed to.
-
cpet
im in a seabee town Gulfport/MS
-
Matt|home
evening.
-
cpet
i live about 15 mins to the Navy base and about 20 to Keesler
-
shbrngdo
ack - Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most
-
cpet
lost mind
-
shbrngdo
heh after 11PM Now. surprise. I still gotta fix sendmail on the new server
-
cpet
i started using opensmtd for years now
-
cpet
getting email to work is 1 line
-
cpet
getting smtps auth is 2 lines
-
shbrngdo
anyway if I wee coaching someone on a difficult probelem I'd probably type it into gerok, then paste a link to the answer
-
cpet
an getting dovecot and imap is about 6 lines
-
Koston
cpet: sounds like Perl
-
cpet
nothing against sendmail
-
cpet
but m4 is not fun to play with
-
shbrngdo
I'm using cyrus. Reasons, mopst f them to keep me familiar with enterprise-like solutions
-
cpet
most of my time ive used exim
-
cpet
i do not like psotfix
-
shbrngdo
my ISP forwards to my server, ehich then receives it (sendmail), then routes to cyrus, which also has secure MAP my old tablet can use when out of home-office.
-
cpet
these days with as much hassle it is to setup you own mail server
-
cpet
i dont bother any more
-
cpet
i just use proton
-
shbrngdo
I've toyed with exim , that's about it [being the (old?) goto nailer for Debian derivatives for a long time]
-
cpet
you have to deal with DKIM, SPF, DMARC
-
cpet
and whatever crap big blue decieds to add in later
-
cpet
shbrngdo: you cant be that old
-
shbrngdo
SPF is the important one, not too hard. ISP has instructions even for proplr who manage their own domains
-
shbrngdo
people I mean
-
Koston
cpet: none of those are really a problem. it's the rabid anti-spam measures that waste a ton of time
-
cpet
it is if your IPs are classified of residential IPs
-
cpet
then all that doesnt matter as it all aut send to spam
-
shbrngdo
I wouldn't mind the old RBL blacklists but I guess things move around too rapidly so nobody supports those
-
cpet
and proton does a decent job
-
cpet
i could setup a mail server on a VPS
-
cpet
but thats over kill
-
Koston
not long ago, I had to once again deal with some retard blacklister who decided to blacklist IP ranges based on AS links. in practice they had blacklisted an entire fucking A-class of IPs in one swoop.
-
cpet
you would think that having a biz line and a /29 you would be exempted
-
cpet
but nope
-
Afterglow
I'm hosting 4 email domains on my (home) server with postfix, backed by postgresql, with dkim, spf and dmarc, really simple
-
Koston
yeah nope
-
cpet
i condem doing any DB with email
-
cpet
if its not a enteprise with 5000 emails
-
cpet
fuck f ill setup a DB with my email systen
-
shbrngdo
well domain handling for official web site is s rent-a-vm from opalstack, then FBSD with a /28 block from AT&T [which just got a bit more expensive last month]
-
cpet
fuck ATT
-
cpet
is all i can ay hah
-
cpet
i have sparklight
-
cpet
and I have yet to have any issues after 3+ years
-
cpet
ATT was breahed i think a few years ago and I wish it utter death
-
cpet
not only thst there infrature is utter shit
-
shbrngdo
the ISP has mostly unlimited SMTP outgoing so I send everything through that, then SPF reecords on DNS includde it.
-
Afterglow
cpet, 100+ aliases
-
shbrngdo
I guess it's a /29 block - 4 or 5 uisable addresses
-
» shbrngdo needs to leverage that somehow
-
Koston
running only an inbound MX server is very simple and painless, but outgoing SMTP is a nightmare these days
-
cpet
i like to setup email the old school way as in you login and tye in mail i dont care about imap and all that
-
shbrngdo
true, easier to just forward it and make sure SPF stays up to date
-
cpet
hoever when your ISP has you whole block as residential and email auto sends to spam
-
cpet
there reay is no point is setting it up
-
shbrngdo
SPF eliminates a lot of that need
-
Koston
simple things like moving the server to another location, IP address changes? well, you're not getting a single mail through to any microsoft managed address for the next few days to few weeks because they default to assumption that IP change = server hacked
-
Afterglow
most ISPs publish SPF you can include
-
shbrngdo
ack - and instructions to make it easier for noobs
-
Koston
it doesn't also make diddly squat difference if you have SPF, DKIM, MARC etc all configured precisely correctly
-
cpet
now I have been paying for proton for years now and it include 3 hosted domains
-
cpet
so i just use that
-
Koston
one fairly large german mail domain refuses to take in any mail that comes from a server which' PTR record doesn't match A record + helo
-
shbrngdo
oh ok - yeah that's opften simple. opalstack is lower level, but it uses a reasonable web interface and hosts linux vm's and dedicated for [I assume] reasonable pricwes.
-
cpet
i use contabo
-
cpet
i dont use any us based services as there resource to price ratio is utter shit
-
shbrngdo
Koston - yeash they need to fix that - the HELO I mean. I don't blame the ISP in Germany
-
cpet
this is why I stpped doing my own email
-
cpet
spam should be done by the end user not the server
-
cpet
if you dont like spammer guy spamming you use procmail to kill it
-
shbrngdo
it's still fun to play around with. I actually set up a system to snd mail through a local business connection some time ag - mailing daily spreadsheets to a customer. perl script and shell.
-
cpet
thats a direct connection to the same client
-
cpet
wont cause any issues
-
shbrngdo
it's running on a Raspberry Pi behiond a firewall appliance at a customer's office.
-
cpet
sending email to microsoft or gmail
-
cpet
well they expect all that shit configured
-
cpet
and "properly"
-
shbrngdo
it can be tricky. Fortunately Perl modules are up to date on that
-
cpet
the issue lies when you use gov stuff
-
shbrngdo
I haven't yet dealt with OOTP though.
-
cpet
i have sent emails to the VA and it never getting sent due to filters and such
-
shbrngdo
er, TOTP
-
shbrngdo
cpet - yeah that is irritating.
-
Koston
cpet: favourite from few years ago, gmail stopped accepting mail after switching outbound smtp to a new IP. which was also hosted in GCP. best the gmail support could say was "fix your outgoing server" (which was perfect all along) and then mused "maybe it's some spam prevention but we can't tell you any more about it"
-
cpet
but to be fair looking at my history the idiots at the VA have called me and emailed me using the wrong contact info on more occations i can count
-
cpet
the only google service I use is youtube
-
shbrngdo
after 11:30 - I should work on sendmail [was procrastinating]. later. my server is nesrly up, mail is the last step I think other than HD swap + test/re-config
-
cpet
mail is easy with sendmail on freebsd
-
Koston
cpet: google has become cancer
-
cpet
just read the Makefile
-
cpet
despite peope hate toward sendmail sendmail is still a powerful mail server
-
cpet
Koston: yeap nice to see thay had the same fate as MS did in the early 90 as a monopoly
-
Koston
cpet: my thoughts exactly
-
cpet
Koston: howeber I cant ay anything bad about bill gates as he has donated probaly more of his wealth than any other tech person
-
Koston
how many could've?
-
cpet
a few actually donae others dont
-
cpet
now donations are tax write ups
-
cpet
so theres a good and a bad to everything
-
Koston
can't operate a business in the US anyway without annually donating to some or other charity
-
cpet
same goes for secueity
-
cpet
as fare as I know there is no limit to that
-
cpet
so a company can donate a buck and still be valid
-
cpet
but people dont realize most donations are tax write ups
-
Koston
they double as that, but much more important reason is the american culture expecting businesses to donate to charity
-
Koston
somehow, you can run the most hawkish underhanded business known to man but as long as you make annual donations you're good
-
Koston
similar thing to giving tip for waiters in restaurants. you can refuse to tip, but that's generally a terrible idea
-
cpet
i tip if you trest me well
-
cpet
if not i dont bother
-
cpet
if that makes me an ass well
-
cpet
im an ass then :P
-
Koston
I tip or don't depending almost entirely where I'm at
-
Koston
in finland? almost never tip. in thailand? always tip.
-
cpet
there was a restaurant in GA that had a message on the menu we auto add a 15% tip
-
cpet
i dont like american beer so I asked for a guiness
-
cpet
anyone knows that pouring guiness takes a bout 5 minutes and it pours bottom up
-
cpet
i got mine in less than a 1 with 90% foam
-
cpet
i asked for a new one
-
cpet
i was charge for two i said im not paying for foeam
-
cpet
er foam
-
cpet
bill came i disputed they took it off
-
cpet
what pissed me off was the auto 15% tip
-
cpet
i paid and then I charged it back at my bank as shity service and not what i asked for
-
cpet
afer about 2 months i got my money back
-
rtprio
i miss the no-tip culture
-
cpet
as yes the person who called me a jackass for trying to help him
-
cpet
hello
-
rtprio
i apologize
-
cpet
there still is a no tip culture
-
cpet
you just have to fight for it a bit
-
cpet
and if you have a amex card that shit is gold
-
rtprio
i meant in places like france
-
cpet
as they have a procedure that if you dont receive the service you asked for you get a refund for it
-
rtprio
bill comes, pay, leave
-
cpet
well the US is garbage compares to most if not all .eu
-
cpet
heh
-
rtprio
it is :|
-
cpet
and if you look at the politics
-
cpet
well :(
-
cpet
seems like my issue was resolved with bastille
-
cpet
this is nice
-
nwe
with a freshly installed freebsd 15.0 to upgrade/patch is it still freebsd-update that should be use or is it pkg update/upgrade? I guess freebsd-update will be removed in newer releases? or?
-
polarian
nwe: freebsd-update will be removed in 16.0 as it is now (effectively) deprecated
-
polarian
16.0 will be released in 2 years, 15.x will continue about a year after than
-
polarian
that*
-
polarian
so you will have approx 3 years before mandatory pkgbase

as for how to update a freshly installed 15.0, it depends whether you choose pkgbase or not in the installer, if you did then you use pkg, if you didn't then you use freebsd-update
-
polarian
freebsd-update will not run if it detects pkgbase as it will destroy your system
-
polarian
(or so I heard)
-
polarian
iirc you can check pkgbase by grep -i freebsd-base /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf
-
paulf
speaking of pkgbase how does that cope with __FreeBSD_version?
-
paulf
Can __FreeBSD_version affect more than one package? If so does that mean that they always get updated atomically?
-
nwe
polarian: on this newly re-installed I choose pkgbase, but Im not really follow when upgrading with pkg is it like pkg upgrade -r <release> ?
-
nwe
polarian: I have it in FreeBSD.conf...
pastebin.com/ijTbFiQx but why is it no enabled when I during installation choose "PKGBASE" (new way) :)
-
polarian
nwe: afaik pkg upgrade will do it
-
polarian
or you have use -r flag to specify the repository of FreeBSD-base
-
polarian
its like on Linux
-
polarian
nwe: unsure, if you uncomment it I dont think there would be any harm
-
nwe
polarian: okey so pkg upgrade will replace both freebsd-update fetch /upgrade?
-
polarian
freebsd-update is completely redundant and wont work on a pkgbase system
-
polarian
as its delta updates
-
nwe
so later on its only pkg update for both package and "base" system ?
-
Afterglow
Maybe the question already has been asked, but how does this work when upgrading from 14.3? Do you also get the choice, or does this require lots of (manual) work afterwards?
-
polarian
nwe: yes
-
polarian
there is discussions on whether there should be separation but right now afaik
-
polarian
they will be updated togerther
-
polarian
Afterglow: you update as usual, using freebsd-update, and then you use pkgbasify which is a script to convert from delta to package
-
polarian
then for now on you will use pkg upgrade instead of freebsd-update
-
Afterglow
thanks polarian, clear answer
-
polarian
-
polarian
that has all the corresponding information you might nee d
-
polarian
Afterglow: as for installation bsdinstall will ask you within 15.x whether you would like pkgbase or delta updates
-
polarian
this will be removed in 16.0
-
polarian
although someone said recently that theres plans to make this reversible?
-
polarian
I have also heard talk about an inverse script (depkgbasify) to convert back to a distribution set system...
-
polarian
^^^ this would be useful for those who want to update from srdc
-
polarian
src*
-
Afterglow
First line of the github page: "Both the pkgbasify tool and pkgbase itself are experimental"... I'll wait a bit then. Thx for the info though
-
polarian
Afterglow: its meant to be stable in 15.0 :0
-
polarian
:)
-
polarian
or so I heard
-
nwe
polarian: a stupid question, do you still use freebsd-update or pkg upgrade -r <release> etc? sound like the easiest way it to re-install the computer then run a convert-script..
-
polarian
nwe: I update from src as I hate pkgbase :)
-
polarian
but if I wasn't I would still use freebsd-update, its slow but it works
-
nwe
polarian: with make buildworld/kernel installkernel/world?
-
polarian
and also there is freebsd-rustdate in ports
-
polarian
nwe: yeah
-
nwe
I check you checked out stable/15 first :) or are you living on the edge and running CURRENT?
-
nwe
whats that freebsd-rustdate?
-
nimaje1
an implementation of freebsd-update in rust, as that is faster then the sh monster freebsd-update
-
MelMalik
i wonder if i should rewrite it in c
-
nimaje1
why would you throw away memory safety?
-
nwe
polarian: feels that it´s easier with the old way then :) in /usr/src
-
MelMalik
nimaje1, Rustland is a cult
-
dvl
cyric: works for me now.
-
nimaje1
there are more memory safe languages, lua would be an option if you want something in the base system, but ports have others like pascal, java, python, …
-
erk
Rust is just a quite nice language, so I can understand that people want to use it.
-
CrtxReavr
I love how you'll find some app you want written in Rust. . . the README.md on the git repo says to use the 'cargo install <foo>' "package manager."
-
CrtxReavr
It creates a ~/.cargo/bin/foo file. .
-
CrtxReavr
Then you go to #rust and ask if there's a way to specify the destination and they first thing they tell you is "It's not a package manager!"
-
cyric
dvl: you mean pkg update? just checked, works for me as well
-
dvl
cyric: I refered to: ] <cyric> Ugh, is it just me? pkg: Failed to fetch
pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/quarterly/meta.conf: Unknown error
-
cyric
dvl: so it didn't work for you as well back then?
-
dvl
cyric: I didn't try when you said. I was AFK then.
-
cyric
dvl: ah ok, wonder what the issue was (local or not)
-
dvl
cyric: All I tried was `fetch URL`
-
erk
CrtxReavr: You can use --root <dir to install bins to> for that.
-
polarian
nwe: I am on origin/releng/15.0
-
polarian
aka RELEASE
-
nimaje1
I'm pretty sure cargo stands for cargo-culting and is meant as a warning that you shouldn't use it, no idea if there is a good build system for rust, but using rustc directly in a Makefile works ok-ish
-
polarian
nimaje1: cause rust is shit
-
polarian
MelMalik: +1
-
CrtxReavr
erk, I could also just manually create /usr/opt/bin/, add it to the system path, and toss it in there.
-
erk
CrtxReavr: I meant cargo install --root /usr/opt/bin will do that for you, but yeah there is more than one way to do it.
-
CrtxReavr
erk, you realize cargo(1) makes no mention of that switch.
-
erk
CrtxReavr: Yeah a bit odd, it is listed as one of the first things on `cargo help install`
-
CrtxReavr
-
erk
LOL, termbin is apprently blocked here, I guess it was used to host malware or something.
-
nimaje1
-
erk
Imo the 5 point list in that man page is quite clear.

mariuss
After upgrading to 15.0-RELEASE I get the following: WARNING: sysctl vfs.zfs.min_auto_ashift is deprecated. Use vfs.zfs.vdev.min_auto_ashift instead.
-
mariuss
Also as a jail spins up I see a note that bge0 is deprecated
-
vkarlsen
mariuss: You're probably setting that in /etc/sysctl.conf. I know I was.
-
mariuss
vkarlsen: indeed. Thanks for the hint!
-
nwe
polarian: okey, I think I will do the old way rebuild rebuild kernel and world.. all the tools confusing me, freebsd-update/freebsd-version and pkg etc :D
-
nwe
polarian: polarian
-
polarian
nwe: up to you
-
polarian
freebsd-update is simples
-
polarian
freebsd-update -r 15.0-RELEASE upgrade
-
polarian
reboot
-
polarian
freebsd-update install
-
polarian
reboot
-
polarian
done
-
polarian
and if you are pkgbasified then pkg upgrade
-
polarian
(uncomment FreeBSD-base from /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf if it exists)
-
nwe
polarian: hehe yeah :) I tink I will go with /usr/src :).
-
cpet
nwe: im a little reluctant to use pkgbase yet so src for me as well
-
nwe
cpet :)
-
polarian
lol
-
polarian
if in doubt, build from src :p
-
mzar
polarian: you can also build your own packages for pkgbase after successful build
-
polarian
mzar: yeahhh no.
-
polarian
f*ck pkgbase
-
mzar
:-/
-
isley
why?
-
polarian
I have already aired my views on pkgbase literally everywhere, pointless me redoing it for the 50th
-
polarian
time*
-
polarian
plus I might get banned if I dont shhhhh :p
-
mzar
I will give it a try, at some point
-
Macer
Do thumb drives not have smart?
-
nwe
polarian: :p
-
mzar
Macer: they have
-
nwe
which problem did they try to solved when chaning from freebsd-update/fetch to use pkgbase ?
-
nwe
now it´s feels more confusing which tool we should use :P depending the first installation method you did :P and also use a lua-script to convert to pkgbase.. what I like with openbsd is their sysupgrade and syspatch really smooth :P
-
mzar
Macer: actually these USB sticks don't have it, at a glance I read it wrong
-
Macer
Yeah. Mine don’t seem to work.
-
Macer
I guess the ones with smart are actually SSDs with a usb interface.
-
Macer
Like a corsair gtx
-
Macer
No trim support either it seems.
-
polarian
nwe: speed
-
polarian
freebsd-update is slow
-
polarian
and binary patching is always going to be slow
-
polarian
binary patching has the benefit of small sizes, but in the mdoern day when bandwidth is more abundant downloading a gigabyte of packages to update is a non-issue for most
-
polarian
I completely disagree with it though
-
skered
freebsd-update does binary patching? I thought it was a rip and replace with patching text?
-
mzar
yes, when you compare to make install{kernel,world} then frustrated is crawling
-
mzar
s/frustrated/freebsd-update
-
polarian
skered: afaik its binary patching
-
polarian
I haven't read all the src so I am not 100% how it works
-
mns
0/36
-
skered
polarian: I guess so. bspatch.
-
polarian
haha
-
polarian
bullshit patch
-
polarian
hahaha
-
polarian
and bullshit diff
-
polarian
hahahaa
-
polarian
im sorry... I dont know why I found it so funny
-
MelMalik
polarian, it's not necessarily bad, just its community is a cult
-
polarian
MelMalik: I dislike the lang :p
-
polarian
not just because its community is a bunch of toxic teenagers
-
polarian
usually soydev webdevs anyways
-
polarian
I think its a language which tries to do everything, and does nothing well
-
polarian
its low level, but then its not, its high level but then it snot
-
polarian
its memory safe, but then its not as you need to use unsafe for low level
-
MelMalik
there's better ways to express «soydev» w/o falling to toxic rightist stereotypes
-
MelMalik
for a neutral descriptor of the typical meaning, you might try «framework-using web dev»; a pejorative might be «framework addict».

voy4g3r2
has anyone experience the open termainl failed: not a terminal error when they perform a tmux a on a remote server?
-
voy4g3r2
i am currently trying to connect to my server, which has running tmux sessions, and when i try to do a tmux a i get an error open terminal failed: not a terminal.. never saw this before..
-
isley
yeah, your client and server versions are mismatched. it was in the changelog, and the pkg message.
-
voy4g3r2
uhh
-
voy4g3r2
i am still on 14.3
-
voy4g3r2
that is very odd
-
isley
version of tmux, not freebsd.
-
voy4g3r2
errr, that is what i get for not paying attention
-
voy4g3r2
i do not recall but if you say, i will run with it :)
-
isley
check 'pkg info -D tmux' on that host.
-
rwp
voy4g3r2, Are you connecting to it over ssh and forgot to include the -t option?
-
ridcully
the terminal error is a red herring. the problem is very likely the update
-
rwp
Although I appreciate the high reliability of FreeBSD and the ability to achieve high uptime sometimes it is still a good idea to reboot the system.
-
ridcully
or you could just wait that nothing important is running anymore and then pkill tmux and go from there
-
voy4g3r2
rwp: i tried that option and did not work
-
voy4g3r2
ridcully: it looks like that will have to be the way.. even though i got some stuff
-
voy4g3r2
we shall see if my python code can handle the abrupt stoppage.. which it should
-
voy4g3r2
well it is all fixed and even killed the wrong tmux in the process :)
-
voy4g3r2
thank you
-
voy4g3r2
and look at that my python program detected the down LLM embedding model and restarted flawlessly
-
voy4g3r2
sweet!
