"change frequency"

Ah, thank you.

What is better these days? Ubuntu base or Linuxulator?

AumShivaya: do you mean Ubuntu or the Rocky Linux packages from port? "Linuxulator" just refers to the Linux binary compatibility, which you always use when running Linux binaries regardless of distribution

ok

I am wondering whether to use Rocky Linux packages or try and get Ubuntu running which I installed under 14.0

probably very out of date

i think that depends on what you're trying to run... Rocky is better tested/supported with Linux emulation, but the selection of packages is limited and compatibility with third-party Linux software might be worse

especially if you're trying to run closed-source software, Ubuntu is often the only supported distribution, so you don't really have a choice

What is Rocky anyway?

I want to try Steam

Don't know what I am expecting

Rocky Linux is a rebuild of RedHat Enterprise Linux, it replaces CentOS which used to do the same thing but was killed by RedHat. if you want Steam, i think there's already a Steam port that handles all this for you?

Thanks, I shall look into it

i've never used it so i'm not sure what the port is called, but i remember it existing...

yeah, I think it's steam-linux-utils or something

linux-steam-utils

rather

It drags in Rocky

Hmm so I guess I can nuke my other linux compats so they don't collide

iirc, Steam includes its own Ubuntu-based compat layer when it runs on other platforms

if I install openJDK do I also need to install the JRE or is openJDK as super set of the JRE such that it include the JRE + the have compiler and tools?

crb: jdk is everything. you don't need the jre then

instructions on how to configure&setup freebsd unclear; did two weeks in county jail -- did not help my networking situation at all

welcome to jid 0.

procfs is deprecated?

why?

Quick question. When reading about PF, there is a disclaimer in the FreeBSD handbook that says:

“When reading the PF FAQ, keep in mind that FreeBSD’s version of PF has diverged substantially from the upstream OpenBSD version over the years. Not all features work the same way on FreeBSD as they do in OpenBSD and vice versa.”

Does this mean that OpenBSD’s documentation won’t be helpful for learning PF on FreeBSD?

Or is FreeBSD’s ported version pretty much the same?

most of the openbsd documentation will be helpful

but both have added features /changes since they diverged

I learned pf on openbsd and everything I learnt carried over to freebsd but im not doing anything that complex with it

Okay, good to know. Thanks guys. I won’t be doing anything crazy either. Appreciate the insights.

crb: the jdk/jre seperation was abandoned years ago, but jdk was always everything

nmz: because libprocstat(3) and kvm(3) are better interfaces to get that information

So you need to compile/use C just to get a curproc?

that's ludicrous

hm, where do you want to access it and don't have some form of cffi?

Can someone on 15.x please test the following? I'm on 14.3 so maybe it was fixed. In a jail, mkdir -p /etc/rc.conf.d; echo 'syslogd_flags="-ssc"' > /etc/rc.conf.d/syslogd; # reboot the jail #; #ps auxww|grep syslogd # should return /usr/sbin/syslogd -ssc #sysrc syslogd_flags # returns syslogd_flags: -s on 14.3 (which is wrong)
