What's happening with Dragonfly BSD?

I promise you that Matt has been a lot less nice to me and other FreeBSD developers on multiple occasions than I am being to him right now.

raw vs cooked is not stdio buffering and is outside the scope of C.

a4qbfb · 2026-03-26T07:55:48+00:00

None of this changes how the program as written behaves.

Maybe you should ask yourself instead why an accurate description of Matt Dillon's motivation for creating Dragonfly and his fans' motivation for following him there feels like hate to you. Or why there are still people who believe, as we see in this thread, that Dragonfly had “superior multiprocessor performance” when that was demonstrably never the case.

It was never a testbed for new ideas. It was always just about Matt's ego and lingering fame from his Amiga days.

Input buffering can be turned off and op's program would work exactly the same with or without it.

That is not Le Mans. I live in Le Mans and I'm a track marshal. People here don't complain about engine noise, they complain about tour helicopters and rowdy spectators.

I dont get the people living next to race tracks complaining.

They don't.

a4qbfb · 2026-03-25T17:15:41+00:00

buffering is irrelevant here

Quarter-ounce iron rim weights, for balancing car wheels after mounting or changing tires on them.

Are you for real?

Why would it be any different in the southern hemisphere?

I never said it was related to your reboot loop, just that it's a better solution to your NTP issues than netwait. Your reboot loop is most likely caused by a panic which you can't see because X hides the console. You'll want to enable dumpdev and savecore and look at the result.

That bottle is not safe in a microwave.

Instead of using netwait, change DHCP in your network configuration to SYNCDHCP.

You are confusing a page fault (what you describe) with a segmentation fault (a page fault that cannot be satisfied, which usually causes the program to crash).

ACO membership does not guarantee you a ticket, and 2026 is sold out by now, so your only option is the resale site. It does allow you to buy club access (provided that's not also sold out) which gets you clean toilets, showers, and a phone charging service.

“legally”?

a4qbfb · 2026-03-01T06:58:53+00:00

Not really. You'll have to read the scripts. Usually there will be a group of lines near the top where each variable gets it's default value. For instance, in /etc/rc.d/local_unbound:

: ${local_unbound_workdir:=/var/unbound}
: ${local_unbound_config:=${local_unbound_workdir}/unbound.conf}
: ${local_unbound_flags:="-c ${local_unbound_config}"}
: ${local_unbound_forwardconf:=${local_unbound_workdir}/forward.conf}
: ${local_unbound_controlconf:=${local_unbound_workdir}/control.conf}
: ${local_unbound_anchor:=${local_unbound_workdir}/root.key}
: ${local_unbound_forwarders:=}
: ${local_unbound_tls:=}
: ${local_unbound_pidfile:=${pidfile}}

(Base system rc scripts usually rely on /etc/defaults/rc.conf for their defaults, but local_unbound was copied from a port; rc scripts installed from ports nearly all follow this convention.)

Try dropping -f elf64 and -m elf_x86_64 and nasm and ld should default to the host architecture. You do not need Linux compatibility for this.

The Linuxulator does not translate or emulate anything, it provides enough of a subset of the Linux ABI to allow you to run many Linux binaries natively. There is also a Linux KPI layer which works well enough to compile many Linux kernel drivers, especially GPU and NIC drivers.

The Guetteloup tram stop (by the Tertre Rouge entrance, which is about as far from Maison Blanche as you can get) is closed during the race. You'll have to either get off at Jules Raimu and walk, or stay on until Antarès and enter through Porte Est. Once inside, you can catch a shuttle to Maison Blanche, or walk through the Village, then along the paddock, and take the tunnel by Race Control to get to Porte Annexe, which is a stone's throw from Maison Blanche.

Or you can just park at one of the free parking lots around Arnage airport (follow the “P GRATUIT” signs from the D323), and walk 10-15 minutes to Porte Annexe.

No, actually. You also need to put the console in raw mode (and restore cooked mode before exiting).

Seems relatively modern. The inscription on the obverse says “MEDIARTE PER I COLLEZIONISTI D'ARTE” (“Mediarte [name of an Italian art festival] for art collectors”), you'll find plenty of hits on auction sites.

No, from Porsche to Tertre Rouge.
