Why are you using a 2 pin adapter?
Abhi
My adapter that goes into the wall has 3 pins.

So any wire under voltage will be detected. Less AC sensitivity, more DC sensitivity due to the way how electromagnetism works.
Abhi
Most surely. Ncv is a non-contact voltage sensor, to find out where are those pesky wires in yer walls.
Krond, if he used a 3 pin adapter will it help with the issue?

Turning off and disconnecting battery will surely work.

But he expereances 30 v on his skins when he touches it

Country standard. Although I guess there are also other factors or noises maybe that makes me sick when working with this laptop. Even when the laptop is not connected to AC it still makes me sick. I feel disoriented for hours

Can you buy a 3 pin charging adaptor?

Last time that happened to me I screwed the wall socket wrong screwing through the wire to the block. And that was hot wire. Anywhere in apt electricity could be sensed easily, the bigger motor the merrier.

That's why i never do anything related to electricity except changing the light's.

I can try connecting a ground wire somewhere in it but I doubt that’s all the issue it still makes me disoriented when working on battery. Maybe wifi chip overpowering or something? Idk

Very bad nami, maybe just buy a new laptop and sell this one.
Krond
The 2 vs 3 pin discourse is kindda pointless as notebook will still be using same 2 pin dc socket. Only adaptor would be grounded. On the other hand there's no need to ground laptop as it doesn't have high AC voltage inside.
Krond
What can he do ?
It's literally in the walls. Check wiring, check sockets. Turn off all electricity and test whether it works or not, if not — it's not in your apt at least.
Krond
And if that's your apt — bisect and find a leak.

Maybe he should check it by going into some cafe or something.

Definitely would work. I don't think notebook has any issues at all.
Krond
DC is simple at leaks, if there's no connectivity - there's no leaks. AC is different as it passes through capacitors freely. Imaging your floor being one side of capacitor, your flipflops are the spacer, and your leg is the other side of capacitor. The bigger the size of a contact the harder to spot an electric shock. So you sense nothing with other parts of your body, but you definitely sense a one point connection to metal in your notebook.

framework laptops are scam.
They are very overpriced, you can buy a normal decent laptop, use it for few years wait for price of superior one to go down then buy it and still save some cash.
The point of a framework is to use it beyond just a few years
Abhi
You are litrally paying for like 2 laptops

A macbook is way more expensive
Abhi
Similar performing can be bought for 400$
Abhi
use your own search engine 😊👍

let's not escalate on that

knowledge is already stablished on which brands offer better laptops for the *bsd world. Arguing on performance without showing relevant tests on the machines is kinda... pointless, and defending a brand over another is just... childish I guess

Agree

agreed

well you would get better hardware for less and thus would be able to save the money for spares compared to spend it all on a framework lap so with better hardware + spare the other cheaper with better hard laps can last longer

I am using FreeBSD on an Asus mini pc with 4 gigs of Ram as home cloud. I had 0 problems, excluding minor dependency problems.

Thing is you will have to struggle with dependencies but have really good time solving the puzzle. Bsd is that kind of shit. Recommend everyone

Using it as a library for books and articles. You will have hard time tweaking calibre.

On a laptop with 4G memory I had issues of ZFS ARC growing too big and releasing it for demanding applications with delay. It ran way smoother when I limited ARC to 256M. In your use case you might not want to change max arc at all. But you can customize it by setting primarycache to metadata for some datasets like datasets with large files that are not frequently accessed and optimize your ARC cache even with limited memory

Thanks that’s super helpful. My files aren’t that big, but limiting ARC still makes a big difference on my setup. I’ll try capping it and playing with primarycache if needed. Appreciate the advice.

Also if your data is compressible zstd compression might compress more and fit more cache into ram. It might even work better with larger recordsizes.

if your system is scarce on resources, lz4 is better

also btw has anyone tried the kdiskmark port here? for some reason it keeps giving errors for me

why do this poly?
manu gave a good talk about benefits of pkgbase, it involves easier customisation and easier patching

i am trying to properly port an amiga emu called amiberry to fbsd, while it was easy to make it work, the jit compiler doesn't like 64 bit pointers, while the code adequately maps all jit pointers in the lower 32 bit of address map on Linux with mmap MAP_32BIT flag, the same flag doesn't seem enough to map jit pointers in 32 bit map on fbsd

Erm guys, it crashed again. What does this looks like? how do i collect logs to share. Which kind of log should be looked at🥹
polyduekes
Abhi
What kind of logs i should look for to fix this? it happens rarely but happens randomly..
polyduekes
Didn't worked, i restarted now works
you can't deadlock fbsd with a userland program, and if it isn't deadlocked you should be normally be able to make do without needing to reboot
Abhi
Interesting, what do you think is happening here then?
polyduekes
Interesting, what do you think is happening here then?
idk, tell me more, anything in /var/log/messages? anything in dmesg? any crash message? does ssh work? does the kernel panics and autoreboots?
polyduekes
when does this usually happens?
Abhi
/var/debug.log looks fine
/var/dmesg.today looks fine too
It happens when i am using Firefox with many tabs open, like when screensharing and on video call, or just random too many tabs open
Abhi
It happened on xorg too, i have switched to wayland now. So can't be that.
Abhi
I did observe the ram utilization goes through the moon. When many tabs on Firefox

var/log/messages is where fbsd dmesg goes
