"Pay us all your money" 😂

I'm not sure whether they are disabled by default. Probably no. Or limited to localhost.

I don't see the point of using ZFS in a normal desktop, sure home server or enterprise makes sense, I picked UFS and never had any problems so far

Asking for help about ZFS is not bad. As I usually like to let people free to voice what they think about stuff, situations like the one about ZFS we have had eariler, can happen. However, the idea of groups and forums is to make constructive knowledge, not to bias about things just because. If further discussions don't change paths in here and start following a constructive way, I'm going to start silencing people. And I hate to do that. So please, discuss what you want (FreeBSD related) but in a constructive way (:

That was funny. I remember SCO's website was hacked.

If asking for help about ZFS here is so bad, present an UFS-based solution. 🤷‍♂

People do store backups of their devices' files on their desktop-machines, for example. A simple zfs create -o dedup=on nameofdataset does the job other software needs a long setup for.

And my guess is that this command creates a snapshot of the dataset?

No, it enables deduplication at the block layer

I've installed FreeBSD13 on my machine. Happy to see you all....

Awesome! As a server or as desktop?

On a Vbox actually and I have one at vps server

Nice! Welcome aboard

Cool!

I wanted to install SSL on my web. I've tried many times and failed. i'm using certbot and I choose standalone method, do I have to stop my apache first when I prefer stabdalone method?

If you choose spinup temporary web server than yes, stop any other webserver beforehand.

Seems like we are going to see some progress on Realtek wireless firmware in the near future on FreeBSD too (:

Realtek cards do not work on FreeBSD?

Is there anything that actually works on bsd?

You can leave the BSD world.

Do they have a list of wireless supported hardware on Realtek?

How's the state of steam on bsd? I haven't been following it recently

on obsd and nbsd it dosent work

Well you can run steam on freebsd via homura and play older games

If you want to game, I suggest dual booting windows, gaming on Unixes is mostly limited

No, I'm mostly interested in experimenting

https://t.me/FreeBSD/30 There was some progress earlier this year. I didn't check it this last months but that link may help

I just created a bootable flash stick with the i386 version of 12.2 to install on an Acer netbook. I created with UNETBOOTIN. I get a menu that shows default. When it tries to load the kernel, it doesn't load. Any other boot options I should be adding? I can't get past the boot menu. It doen not give me an error but keeps trying.

May be you should download the usb bootable version of the freebsd

The memstick image is smaller isn't it? I used the larger iso.

The disc one?

I have been using Linux (Xfce4 as DE too) for years, just started to try out FreeBSD days ago. Wouldn't say I am that satisfied yet.

What are your first impressions?

I'm also curious, what are your primary reasons for using BSD (and specifically FreeBSD) over Linux? License and project ethos? More uniformity? ZFS?

Take a look at this reading http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/rants/bsd4linux/01

For those of you that use FreeBSD on desktop daily, which DE do you prefer? I’m coming from Debian XFCE. Any general suggestions?

I suggest you go with the ports instead of binary packages if you want more customizability options

he asked for DE

*Fixed the window manager part

1- it feels like an actual UNIX instead of an impression of it like Linux is 2- clang and llvm as the default toolchain 3- tcsh has straightforward customization and instead of it trying to be a swiss army knife like bash, it doesn't care about POSIX and has it's own scripting syntax If you wanna run POSIX shell scripts use sh 4- clean seperation of third part software in /usr/local from the software provided by freebsd 5- top notch documentation 6- freebsd project provides a complete basic OS, that is the kernel and basic userland utilities, you'll feel like freebsd has a complete structure when you start adding third party software to it, with Linux it feels like things are glued together, you have the Linux kernel with either gnucore-utils or busybox, each with their own documentation separate from the Linux kernel
