hi guys, i haven't tried freebsd yet, i'm considering moving from proxmox
Mendel
i was wondering if there is a way to group jails together and limit resources (cpu, ram) for the group
Mendel
the idea would be to have one service take priority for the resources over the others
Mendel
would such a setup be possible in freebsd?

Hi all, while trying to compile a four lines c++ code, i got a message like "can't find g++" ? Gcc is already installed on my system.

You can do it using rctl and ps commands but you have to write a simple script for this task

i saw i can do rules/filters per jail, but how do i group multiple jails?

FreeBSD allows you to create a jail with multiple jails inside. In other words: you must create a large jail with small jails and apply the resource limits to itself.

i see, thank you!

Has anyone tried to use devices like tablets etc with their freebsd to boost productivity?
hereforyou
Not extra monitors, but basically interfacing with other android based devices etc
hereforyou
Anything that makes life easier with other devices, is what I mean to ask. Would be grateful if someone has insights

Like those for drawing?

Xf86 should have a driver

Like an android based tab, generally speaking. How does one interface between a freebsd and a non-freebsd device (say android) seamlessly

Anyone tried updating from 12.3 to 13 by source? when building world I get:
/usr/src/lib/libc/gen/getgrent.c:974:8: error: cast to smaller integer type 'enum nss_lookup_type' from 'void *' [-Werror,-Wvoid-pointer-to-enum-cast]
It looks like clang from 12.3 doesn't work with some stuff written for newer clang version. And I can't force build to utilize new clang version from sources…

Thats for mtp, not for use as a trackpad as i thought @startrekked wanted

Gvfs should give you support for mtp devices, it does so on linux, youll need dbus

there's none of any. the only decent course is to practice doing certain tasks

buy PS4, it's running custom FreeBSD 9.x if it pleases you
Hardcode
as about PS5, there's no reports about whether it uses Orbit OS too, to lots of people doubt Sony switched to Linux - there's way too much of GPL stuff that is preventing this
Hardcode
so at this time it's common to assume that PS5 is running FreeBSD12-based Orbit OS

Hi, I am writing a shell script and this script has some commands that require root access.
Is there a way to root access within the script itself or execute commands without having to enter a root password?

sudo / doas / su - all of which should be used with caution.

really depends what you need to do, who will run the script ? a specialized service "user" from a crontab for example can benefits sudo/doas or any privilege policy tool to realize its task in the strict scope of its purposes
