Are there any proprietary blobs into the kernel or the user-space of FreeBSD?

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.

What else do you prefer? Linux is a huge mess. Illumos focus on correctness but also on legacy support, which isn’t great for code quality either. OpenBSD is clean, but doesn’t offer the features FreeBSD offer.

Why is Firefox not built with clang LTO? Also, process sandboxing feature is missing!!!???

Do it yourself if you want it.

Learner_DR 2022-07-31 17:26:47

or if you don’t, change your OS.

acatoutofthebag 2022-07-31 17:28:36

Huh. I would. But my ssd is slow.

So do not complain.

20 Years of FreeBSD Jails (2019) – YouTube
Speaker: Michael W. Lucas

FreeBSD has been developing, enhancing, and improving its lightweight
virtualization system since 1999. Lucas takes us through modern jails,
where they come from, and the convoluted history than brought us to
their current state.

SSD. Slow. You must be too young to know what slow means 😉

Nice bot

We definitely need some bot control, I’m looking for a solution

You meant the controller of services and daemons?

Learner_DR 2022-08-02 04:57:35

If yes, it’s service(8).

Learner_DR 2022-08-02 04:57:45

or if you asking about apmd.

Learner_DR 2022-08-02 04:58:00

I would say, IDK anything about it on FreeBSD.

Learner_DR 2022-08-02 04:58:28

Check apm(8)

Learner_DR 2022-08-02 05:01:42

And we have apm service under /etc/rc.d/

Learner_DR 2022-08-02 05:06:17

It’s /etc/rc.d/apm.
You should set apm_enable to YES in /etc/rc.conf file.

I would do sysrc apm_enable=YES

Anyone using NsCDE on FreeBSD? Decided to give it try yesterday since my laptop is so old and slow. It’s quick and respensive. But I cannot seem to logout. The exit button on dock or in right-click menu don’t work at all.
