KaiXin

The nickname KaiXin I am using actually is Pinyin for Chinese 开心, which means being happy or glad, or happiness.

I installed more than a few fonts with CJK support on my system since I do have to read and write in Chinese very often. But probably most of them are quite large in size because they have to cover so many characters. Noto CJK it generally recommended for open source systems but they're not small either.

Also nice to notice that #FreeBSD 's manual page hosting service provides manuals for #FreeBSD and all other major #BSD systems, as well as many #Linux systems like #Debian and #OpenSUSE. Bookmarking it for before-bed lullaby reading 😂

shod has a root:bin 755 permission. No file was changed to build and run on OpenBSD. Replacing the shod line by cwm worked as expected, launching a CWM session with a xterm instance running. Hope this helps, thanks!

yes I figured the manual page bit. Did you push you latest commits? I am not seeing them on codeberge, the latest is still 2 month old 96cc10b9d84c870efc3ceb2fba3367f28d63c677. For FreeBSD actuall it was the PROG_CPPFLAGS part, first the -I./ -I/usr{,/local,/X11R6}/include{,/freetype2} syntax will not work for bmake so I simply expand it to -I. -I/usr/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/freetype2, also I had to remove the -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=800 otherwise there will be errors. The last bit is the same thing, replace PROG_LDFLAGS = -L/usr/local/lib ${LDLIBS} ${LDFLAGS} from -L/usr{,/local,/X11R6}/lib ${LDLIBS} ${LDFLAGS}.

Toying around with the #shod window manager on #FreeBSD. It feels so magic when you can group different application windows together as tabs, as shown in my screenshot where two #xterm windows and a #Firefox share the same window frame as three separate tabs. This is also what I found fascinating about #pekwm and #HaikuOS. #Fluxbox also has something similar I think. And again thanks #ZFS boot environments, I cannot say this enough.

xterm -n 'login' -class uxterm -b 10 -fa 'DejaVu Sans Mono' -fs 11 -g 65x40-40-40
The executable shod is in place as which shod will report the same path. And I can confirm both cwm and pekwm launches if I un-comment them. But every time I tried launching shod I get a bare Xorg session with xterm instances, and a shod.core file. ps -aux |grep shod confirms it did not launch. Thanks!
BTW, if you are interested, shod does not build on FreeBSD.

It actually seemed even worse than before.

I did a few months ago already with 10.1, NetBSD Problem Report #59806 Keyboard and touchpad stop working after wakeup from S3 suspend and also similar problems seemed to have been reported before NetBSD Problem Report #57931 Suspend/resume of ThinkPad T470s only fails on keyboard/touchpad, NetBSD Problem Report #60043 ACPI suspend does not work properly with ps/2 keyboard and track-pad . Also this reddit post Suspend trouble on Thinkpad X270 (and maybe others) could be similar too. I saw other posts else where too but did not find any fix yet. I though thinkpad was already receiving more attention generally in BSD dev but seems suspend/resume issue still is common among many.

I accidentally came across this #MediaTek #MT7601U #WiFi driver for #NetBSD on GitHub: https://github.com/MakwanaVihas/gsoc_2k22 but it seems long abandoned. I wonder if someone knows how to use it. I actually have such a USB WiFi dodge, and since the #iwm driver works on and off for my Intel 8260 card on NetBSD I think I can give this a try maybe.

For an one-line command like this Google search is probably faster since usually you have a browser running already. Firing up a note app and looking for things is likely to longer than this.

I do not think I can ever remember this exotic syntax of the find command to find and mv files:
find /path/to/search -name "*.txt" -exec mv {} /path/to/destination/ \;
not in this lifetime. I have to Google every single time to make sure I will not do something stupid.

I love how fast rsync is, even from remote host to a local mounted disk.

Is not it still in discussion? Options are listed but there is not "ban" or "just do it" recommendation now.

@nprofile…hl5m I always assumed jails are natively supported by pkgbase tools when setting them up. No?

@nprofile…z6zj yes. I don't mean false either but I can not find the word (sorry English is not my mother tongue). Extreme would be more appropriate. On social media it is common to get accused of something based on one simple sentence l, or even a word, without whole context.

@nprofile…rp5d Hi Stefano, would you be interested in providing SmolNet services like gopher and gemini at bsd.cafe ? I think they are quite in the same taste as other BSD Cafe services.

@nprofile…rgn8 you don't want to know how many math tests I failed in my high school. And one of the big reasons ilI choose what to study in college was based on whether I had to learn more of math 😂

@nprofile…rgn8 yeah I suppose. But then again just like you said, it is so big a country that I can not easily say I know it well. I only have more "inside" information than you do.

@nprofile…rgn8 I don't think I can answer those big questions. I my self use R language, and a bit of Python sometimes, for work and research a lot but I don't see that many people like me in China. I mean I do not much about Canada either. Culturally, politically.

@nprofile…rgn8 Well music wise I mostly listen to folk or rock music now that I am not young and listening a lot of pop songs I guess. But I generally do not listen to music to music that often. Music tends to distract me when I am doing something😂

@nprofile…rgn8 no I am not listening to #aNONradio. I don't listen to it a lot. I listen to many podcasts everyday but mostly Chinese ones though.

@nprofile…rgn8 yes I thought I saw one or two, but I consider them hacks and never used any. I am hoping someday it get natively supported

@nprofile…rgn8 yes that's about it. You download and backup locally. I initially thought I can import to another account when I do account migration, at least between different mastodon instances. But then I found out you can only import follows and followers. Not toots.

In my years of experience, WPS or SoftMaker are way better. For academia use, LibreOffice is too limited especially when you have to share your documents to others using MS Office or do presentation on another device. When you have to prepare a journal article, you almost have no choice but to go back to Windows.

You can check Xorg.0.log for whether qxl was loaded or was causing any issue. Basically creating a conf file at /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d with something like:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Driver "qxl"
EndSection
should be enough for explicitly using the driver. The default spicexql driver never worked for me, you can safely delete them. Also for start QEMU VMs running FreeBSD, I use something like:
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-nodefaults \
-m 2g \
-cpu host \
-smp 2 \
-enable-kvm \
-daemonize \
-no-reboot \
-display gtk \
-vga none \
-device qxl-vga,vgamem_mb=64 \
to create a QXL VM. Hope that help!

All reported crash and core dump sessions are with the qxl driver, the issue disappeared immediately once switching from qxl to scfb driver. I am not sure which driver(s) Vbox uses for graphics on FreeBSD though.

Insane! How long for compiling chromium browser itself or firefox? Back when I was using Gentoo many years ago, firefox was always the longest, I did not know chromium though because I never tried.
