mornings.

rhaberkorn clone, update, commit, arc diff, get all the profits... or something like that.

blues-softwares.openproject.eu/proj…ts/admin-debian-desktop/wiki/backup <-- what need modifing for freebsd system ?

peaprs for --exclude directory ?

bpa.st/Q4UA <-- sorry my site isn't readed

I using cwm and looking after a good statusbar, can someone recomend a good status bar

HELP! Doctor wants to kill me! Help me?

hulina: wat?

off-topic for here

Does one need to copy over configuration from blacklistd to blocklistd to retain the same config when migrating to freebsd 15?

yes. you shuld migrate, but old names will work

yeah, I just realized I'm probably being dump and should just copy blacklistd.conf to blocklistd.conf

dumb*

Oh no

It's annoying they cozy up with systemd so much

But I can just keep using sddm I understand

And it says wayland now works with KDE on FreeBSD?

I thought there were still major issues? I'll give it a try soon

But if this continued I will stop my monthly donation to KDE I think

for a second there, i thought that'd be a CVE about the two

Is Xorg really in such a bad way? -- <felipec.wordpress.com/2025/07/08/xorg-neglect> .

Well Xorg is now managed by redhat and wayland is their 'invented here' so they've been neglecting it on purpose

I always thought that they took it over to basically kill it

And nobody else wanted to of course

EEE: Embrace, Extend, Extinguish

Is XLibre worth a try? <x11libre.net> ?

ant-x: no

wildeboskat_: I think Freedesktop has plans for replacing Xorg: gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayback/wayback

Oh nice

I'm not really hung on Xorg though

Wayland is fine if it works, I just thought it was still broken

Although I do sometimes use the network transparency

But I understand that will still work with xway

I do worry about so many dependencies piling up on systemd though

Maybe we could eventually have a translation layer for it or something on BSD

Because a port is impossible that's for sure (if we'd even want to)

wildeboskat_ yes, but at some point, just like systemd, wayland might become very Linux-y as well. Even tho I like much of the technologies in wayland, I hate that it doesn't have a proper transport layer (we rely on X forwarding for daily use) and that they might just ignore the other Unices over time. we need x11libre to be stable and modern.

and not coded by a crazy conspiracy theorist?

Hi, I've issues finding librtmp in FreeBSD. Has it been dropped?

format_c: have you checked in freshports?

Good point.

Let me try

Seem to be there.

expired: Depends on legacy functionality of OpenSSL and superseded by multimedia/ffmpeg

Yeah just saw it

port deleted on 2024-04-30

:-/

do you have something else which requires that library?

Anyone got hints on how to get port updates committed? I reached out to the maintainer of PowerDNS recursor (which currently has a few CVEs active) and he noted that he submitted a PR for the update, but can't find someone to commit it.

rtprio Enrico being a bit crazy is something I can handle. ignoring every non-Linux Unix is something I can't stand. Over time, I'm sure more contributors will join as well.

Anyone have suggestions on connecting to an nfsv4 share on freebsd from macos?

gnuself so macOS NFSv4 client? and FreeBSD NFSv4 server? I think you just need to set a flag

finder already has a nfs client, apple-k nfs://your-server and check the logs

guess I'll be moving on to the checking logs part :)

gnuself good luck!

also `man nfs` on the client

Hey

If I have a virtual machine (freebsd of course), and I set it up with two volumes, then have a ZFS pool using a vdev with those two volumes in a mirror, do I gain anything in terms of read speed?

Assuking those two virtual volumes are backed by the same physical volume on the host machine

*assuming

doubtful

Sounds like if I have proper backups running then I don't really gain anything by having a mirrored vdev. Well, maybe a shorter RTO.

if it's a vm, everything is waiting on the host to write anyway, no you wouldn't gain anything

all of my freebsd virtual machines are single disk zroots

I've had incidents where ZFS virtual volumes get damaged and refuse mount. I figure I can mitigate that issue by having a mirror or copies=2
