I once used Linux daily, I then tried fbsd and never left
I just use an os that I can trust
mrphyber
Linux I could not trust anymore for very specific reasons
mrphyber
it's just that I prefer to master one thing
Arminio
For me it's more like cooking the same meal every single day
Arminio
Why would you do that
mrphyber
because I already experimented with many distros and stuck with fbsd
mrphyber
I think that knowing every bit possible of a specific os is better than knowing some bits of most of them
Arminio
Dunno, I'm happy to be able to operate very varying OSes.
mrphyber
with that I'm not saying that hopping is bad
mrphyber
I hopped enough to say that I'll stick and master fbsd as best as I can
mrphyber
and even contribute to it if I can
mrphyber
I want something that is stable and trustworthy, and fbsd for me is the best
Arminio
Yeah FreeBSD's stability is what always drove me back to it, I can trust it to not do tricks on me, that for sure.
mrphyber
yep that's fantastic
mrphyber
I don't trust Linux anymore nowadays
mrphyber
that's the reasoning behind my switch to fbsd
mrphyber
fbsd is like a russian tank, you can throw whatever at it, it will continue to go on
mrphyber
Linux is like a sport car, maybe fast but...
mrphyber
stability is an issue
mrphyber
just my humble opinion
mrphyber
what do you think?
Arminio
what do you think?
I think that Linux has grown something where simply too much stuff is happening. systemd is probably the most prominent example of it.
mrphyber
yep that's just the tip of the iceberg
Arminio
Arminio
This is 190 man-pages that have a name that starts with "systemd" on a recent Arch system.
Arminio
So even if I would try to learn what all these 190 things do I would probably not be able to finish my work before I die.
Arminio
Chances are good the number will even increase way more over the next 10 years, too.
mrphyber
I prefer fbsd over Linux even on a technical point of view

like freebsd has non blocking io

Ok I got a weird question. When writing an .iso to a USB stick like so:
dd if=void-live-i686-20191109-xfce.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=2M
What bs= setting do you use and why?
Carl
i made it 4M, because it always work for me, it never failed me ...
Carl
if you use smaller numbers it will use a lot of time
mrphyber

surely the default 512 bytes is really poor, I use 1M and I didn't have any issues
mrphyber
in general it depend on what you are writing
Arminio
ok :)
Carl
i burned debian. free bsd, void and every thing with 4M
Carl
right now, i have freebsd and void
Arminio
surely the default 512 bytes is really poor, I use 1M and I didn't have any issues
So how far could I go down without getting problems? 512k? 256k? 128k?
Arminio
i'm asking because I just use 2M because it's what my brain remembers to do (muscle-memory like)
Carl
when you use smaller numbers, you make sure you have less fails, but you spend more time ... is like when you burned a dvd in 2x, 4x, 8x etc
mrphyber
you will not have problems even at default, it will just be slow
Arminio
Ok great :)
Carl
each step in 2Mb, 512 Kb etc etc - .... more big, bigger is the fail .... smaller, smaller fails
mrphyber

pay attention to dd (disk destroyer lol), every time I issue a dd command I read it many times
Arminio
disk destroyer lmao
Arminio
Also status=progress seems to just work sometimes and sometimes not
mrphyber
try status="progress"
mrphyber
or place this operand at the end of the command
Константин

sysctl kern.maxphys
trying to read/write more that this value will be split in kernel to many subrequests
Himzz
and why are you using fbsd 13? if you are testing, it's ok
if you are not, I may suggest switching to fbsd 12.1 which is considered stable
mrphyber i tried freebsd 12 with drm12kmod 12.1 release with drm-kmod 12.1 stable with drm-stable-kmod every combination .the gpu driver load but after that only black screen noting else ....only 13 current with drm-devel-kmod works .
Himzz
can drm-devel-kmod run on 12.1 release ?
Himzz
like what tweaks i can do?
mrphyber
Himzz
are you trying to start xorg or simply tty?
Screen turn black just after kldload amdgpu simply tty
mrphyber
me neither lol
mrphyber
at boot,
hw.syscons.disable=1
mrphyber
afaik there are some problems with EFI framebuffer and amdgpu
mrphyber
at boot,
hw.syscons.disable=1
note that with this you will not see efifb in the OS loading process
Константин
blank screen or system freezed?

normally thats is the case of using different drivers....i use intel gpu....sumtimes...i use the current one to make it work....try differrent drivers...
melvin
is that normal if base.txz process stopped at 98% during installation?
melvin
hmmmm
melvin
its keep hanging between reboots
melvin
:(
melvin
is there any shell based installation guides?
melvin
oh, i see now
melvin
it mounted lvm partition as read only
Arminio
Your question seems fragmented to me so it's unclear what your actuall issue is.
Arminio
LVM?
melvin
yep
Arminio
Ok, now I'm finally confused.
