welp I am seeing it right now

well hold up lemme verify

I am on 15.0, with pkgbase. I'm looking at the handbook, 26.7.2. Upgrading a Host using freebsd-base

I have this line by itself in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf: { enabled: yes } # I didn't mkdir -p nor created the file, that's what got installed

do I have to create the repo stanza, etc.? or am I good to go? I mean, can I simply run pkg update -r FreeBSD-base and pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-base?

just running those 2 commands seems to have worked

mmlj4: Yep. That should have worked. That file in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/ is just to override the "enabled: no" for FreeBSD-base in the /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf file.

anth: if possible you want to use the kms driver for X

and to me scfb(4x) reads like you only want to use it if you really have to, because nothing else works

Hi

why installing open-vm-tools installs wayland...?

and sqlite3 ?

xorgproto

eoli3n: there's a nox11 flavour

I'm using lockf -k /some/lock/file with 15 cron jobs which are starting at the exact same time, am I sur that all commands will be executed?

deepy great ! thanks

ek: thanks

mage: not the approach I would take

rtprio: which approach would you take .. ? :)

the use-case is syncoid, with # crontab -l -u zsync_send

@600 TZ=UTC /usr/bin/lockf -k /tmp/.syncoid-cron /usr/local/bin/syncoid --no-sync-snap --sshcipher="aes128-gcm⊙oc" --include-snaps="autosnap" --no-privilege-elevation --compress=none --recursive --force-delete zsync_send⊙sl:zroot_srv/data/users/julien zroot_srv/data/jails/zsync/srv/data/users/julien

@600 TZ=UTC /usr/bin/lockf -k /tmp/.syncoid-cron /usr/local/bin/syncoid --no-sync-snap --sshcipher="aes128-gcm⊙oc" --include-snaps="autosnap" --no-privilege-elevation --compress=none --recursive --force-delete zsync_send⊙sl:zroot_srv/data/jails/nextcloud zroot_srv/data/jails/zsync/srv/data/jails/nextcloud

@600 TZ=UTC /usr/bin/lockf -k /tmp/.syncoid-cron /usr/local/bin/syncoid --no-sync-snap --sshcipher="aes128-gcm⊙oc" --include-snaps="autosnap" --no-privilege-elevation --compress=none --recursive --force-delete zsync_send⊙sl:zroot_srv/jails/nextcloud zroot_srv/data/jails/zsync/srv/jails/nextcloud

oops

sorry

i would put those in a script and run the script from cron

good idea, thanks

when I got up to like 10 syncoid lines in one crontab, i finally got them into a script recently

syncoid?

Oh, it's a ZFS thing.

should I ditch pulseaudio on freebsd and go with oss only?

if you just want to hear some mp3's and flac's, use what is simpler

latency is an issue for me with pulseaudio

man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sound search for word "latency" there are some tweaks and recommendations here

m4c.pl/blog/freebsd-audio-setup-bitperfect-equalizer-realtime some nice recommendations here

thank you!

2.5admins.com/2-5-admins-288 and now HDD prices is going up as AI companies is buying all of WD - Western Digital Stock 😛

luna: WD has been sold out for the entirety of 2026 for a while now. AI stuff is causing some serious problems for anything other than huge, rich companies.

rich people's yacht money at work

I had someone suggest to me that it is good that the AI craze is breaking everything. Breaking everything means that everyone will feel the pain. And then maybe everyone will be able to keep it contained. If it were only some small group getting the pain then there would be no saving them.

RAM is now unavailable. Storage is now unavailable. Heroku hosting sold all of their capacity to AI startups. There is a long list of similar things happening due to AI consuming everything right now.

Oh, I thought I was in -social...

I sold a 32GB memory kit on ebay recently for more than I bought the sapphire rapids workstation I pulled it from for

It is truly crazy

I didn't feel too bad as it was bought by some sort of dropshipper business in Slough

Okay, I think I've got a bouncer up and running now.
