How many developers attended the Google Summit and didn’t have the chance to show their skills?

I don’t have a rpi so I have no clue at all, sry

what’s the proper way to eject a flash drive in FreeBSD? I usually camcontrol stop and then camcontrol eject, but I notice it’s still in /dev/

in Linux I do udisksctl unmount and udisksctl power-off and it’s gone, no entry in /dev/

no idea about linux but just unmount it and remove it?

Yeah, umount /media/drive or whatever location is mounted at should work

great. thanks.

iwlwifi definitely works great on CURRENT, and I think on 13.1-RELEASE.

I do this:
# umount -v mountpoint
# camcontrol eject da1
# usbconfig list
# usbconfig -d 4.3 power_off

Read usbconfig(8).

thanks, will try next time

I am asking because when I eject a removable hard disk in Linux, I can see the led indicator turn off, I can also feel it stop spinning if I put my hand on its case. but this doesn’t seem to be the case in FreeBSD

that usbconfig(8) will disconnect it. You will not see the usb in /dev.

oh yes. confirmed with a USB flash drive. neither udisksctl nor camcontrol turn it off, but usbconfig did it

Yeah. But do not forget umount.

yes of course. I usually unmount/eject in file manager first.

Do i have to recompile entire kernel? Because only iwm get loaded instead of iwlwifi

if you’re running a release, then yes, kernel and userland both. see https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/cutting-edge/#current

How do I upgrade to patch level zero (13.1-RELEASE-p0)? It’s complaining about tier level. However, I am on amd64 hardware with 13.1-RELEASE which should be tier one, right?

1. freebsd-update fetch and 2. freebsd-update install

I was doing freebsd-update -r 13.1-RELEASE-p0 upgrade, that was wrong, then?

No, if you are on 13.0 and you want to upgrade to 13.1. I remember that I used that command when I upgraded from 13.0 to 13.1.

https://www.freebsd.org/releases/13.1R/installation/

Aren’t 13.1-RELEASE and 13.1-RELEASE-p0 the same thing?

I guess not. 🥺

Number of bots increased

Seems so

new commits at src seems like a rookie, it seems they like to show off more than they really do, collaborate on what matters, the FreeBSD 13 version is nasty. I keep 12.3, on my laptop.

Wow. I was going to install FreeBSD 13 on two servers… Could you please elaborate why it is nasty? Just to be aware of the pitfalls…

you’ll have to find out, as you work, with it daily writing code for a certain kernel functionality. I have my own view of course but I must not agree with FreeBSD developers.

I used the FreeBSD 11 version and I thought it was great, but today I don’t know if I have the same desire to use FreeBSD.

I don’t understand… What’s the problem? The new committer?

How many developers attended the Google Summit and didn’t have the chance to show their skills? Of course, there’s still time, but I don’t trust the way they’re handling it. I’m free of opinion, but I’ve also been dissatisfied for a long time. It’s not pleasant to write code like it used to be, we had people all over the place making smart, kernel-level suggestions.

Has more qualified developers compared to src commiter 💩

Where’s the FreeBSD compatibility list for LAN? I’m trying to choose between Realtek and Intel LAN.
