hi. what malware scanner would you suggest on fbsd?

and what would be your choice for a firewall?

thank you

i am testing a fbsd vm with lynis and i want to improve a little bit the security score

I need to migrate the i3 window manager with all the settings and plugins.

yes it will work! I ran FreeBSD on my asus k56cb for quite some time. With i3wm here's my dotfiles https://github.com/mykola2312/bsdconf

and what would be your choice for a firewall?

There are 3: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/firewalls/ I suggest pf

what to choose between: clamav-1.4.2,1 Open-source (GPL) anti-virus engine (Regular Feature Release) and clamav-lts-1.0.8,1 Open-source (GPL) anti-virus engine (LTS Feature Release)

according to https://docs.clamav.net/faq/faq-eol.html the 1.4 version is a LTS one and not a Regular Feature Release as specified by pkg search clamav

I encountered a bug in pkg years ago and i see it still persists https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246826

[1/206] Fetching libreoffice-24.8.4.2.pkg: 37% 52 MiB 0.0kB/s - stalled - pkg: cached package libreoffice-24.8.4.2: missing or size mismatch, fetching from remote [2/206] Fetching libreoffice-24.8.4.2.pkg: 19% 27 MiB 234.6kB/s 09:04 ETA

it's not a "bug in pkg"

it's your network connectivity with the repos

How's that not a bug the counter increases when it's retrying to fetch the same package again.

I looked at the source code but could not figure out where it happens. Goto statements in pkg src code makes it complex imo

The technical and philosophical superiority of BSD scares the Linux user so much that he clings to the ceiling.

But building virtualbox-ose on 14.2 release from latest port 6.1.50 is still failed to run....even with virtualbox-ose-kmod....🤔🙄

Good morning! I installed freebsd 14.2 and the background doesn't work, changing the wallpaper, how can I fix this?

Hello everyone, when I use Linux on my laptop, the CPU runs at a much lower frequency (cores at 400mhz), but when I boot on Freebsd, they run at 1400 MHz, resulting in the fans running, higher temps and lower battery. My laptops CPU is an "AMD Ryzen 7 5700u", and I think it might have something to do with the AMD pstates not running on Freebsd. Anyone have any experiences with this situation?

are you using powerd?

Yes, I've tried every sort of setting, changing the upper and power scalings, the adaptative or hiadapt, it doesn't seem to change anything

try powerd++: it's been reported to also change CPU frequencies

I'm surprised that a tool similar to OpenSolaris's timeslider hasn't been developed for FreeBSD

Maybe is not a priority for the project. Still there is a wide range of oportunities for users in order to develope those solutions themself

In any case I didnt know OpenSolaris was still around

OpenSolaris is pretty much around: there are current projects based on it

I'm surprised that a tool similar to OpenSolaris's timeslider hasn't been developed for FreeBSD

what does it do?

so basically, a GUI for automated snapshots, right? I already see a problem or two with that, unfortunately

also, integrated into the file browser... seriously, tho

so basically, a GUI for automated snapshots, right? I already see a problem or two with that, unfortunately

yeah and plus a tool in file browser to easily access snapshots

see, the point is, FreeBSD itself doesn't come with a GUI as the GUI comes as a third-party piece of software

yeah and plus a tool in file browser to easily access snapshots

yeah, I see, thank you

so, you can't reliably say which toolkit you should use in the first place. I, for one, would probably prefer Qt, but I'm not the only one using FreeBSD on the desktop

nope because https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/is-there-something-like-timeslider-in-freebsd.12851/post-75714

but i agree a gui thing for zfs snapshots would be nice

what I'm trying to say here is, yes, it would be nice, but it won't work for everyone, unfortunately, as there's no "default" DE/WM on FreeBSD, and no "default" or even "supported" GUI file manager

you could ask for a TUI version, tho, but I suppose that's not what you want

nope because https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/is-there-something-like-timeslider-in-freebsd.12851/post-75714

there's zfsnap for FreeBSD but still recovering data takes some manual work it would be nice to be able to access them in an easier manner

someone can make a port though no need to add to base system

yeah, sure, but that port won't work for everyone's needs, either

that issue isn't just technical, I'm afraid

no port does

hmm, can you explain more?
