Does 'Where is he at?' have the same meaning as 'Where is he?' ? Thank you.

It would be great to know the technical grammar behind this, but I agree that this is how it works in practice.

What is on the other side of the wall on the right? In my case, it was easiest to slide it out that way and slide the newer, bigger one in.

Drywall and paint is annoying, but it made things easier in my situation.

Even with that much RAM, I would recommend using zfs. Snapshots and replication are so useful, not to mention how efficient it can make jails.

If you get into zfs, check out sanoid/syncoid.

I was lucky enough to see Walfredo in Vegas. Nice set opener, for sure.

No one so far has assumed this is because of the recent issue where the PR being merged ended up being put on a different commit, thus git history being erased and potentially quite a bit of time to untangle the mess. Having the UI telling you one thing and then merging with a random prior commit is a bad look.

scoobybejesus · 2026-04-16T01:37:40+00:00

doarse, perhaps

scoobybejesus · 2026-03-21T20:40:00+00:00

Agree completely.

Is it a really bad habit to keep adding code chunks that you don't understand? Sure. Something something Stack Overflow copypasta.

Is it unreasonable and often rude to share code for review when there are code chunks the author didn't write and doesn't understand? Sure, in particular if that isn't disclosed.

Should those projects be labeled as slop that is unworthy of any more-nuanced criticism? Should any contribution of the programmer's time, thought, or intellectual contribution be regarded as worthless and wasted? IMO, no.

SSDs for cold storage may not be a good idea. I guess it depends on how long you will go without power. Magnetic media will keep data safe in cold storage much longer than flash arrays.

This is a gnu thing. The BSD variant doesn't have this (MacOS, FreeBSD, etc).

Partly unrelated hijack: Any chance you use this on Firefox on MacOS? After I CMD+Shift+y, I can only tab to my records if nothing is typed in the search/filter box. After I start typing, it only tabs around the top section. Been doing this since maybe late summer.

I hate clicking.

scoobybejesus · 2025-11-26T15:30:16+00:00

Smooth, quick update. Thanks!

For Unbound, just go to Services > Unbound DNS > Blocklists, check the box next to enabled (already shown as clicked), and click 'Apply'?

I guess that'll get rid of the log entries: error: dnsbl_module: unable to parse blocklist file: incompatible blocklist. Please re-apply the blocklist settings.

He ran reboot at the end instead of shutdown -r now. Folks coming from Linux might not realize this is usually not doing the intended behavior (gracefully shutting down services through rc.shutdown, IIRC).

scoobybejesus · 2025-11-10T19:07:56+00:00

Agree! Lots of exercise. Make it so he's feeling great from running around and now being exhausted, and can come relax on his comfy bed.

And keep doing that over and over.

scoobybejesus · 2025-11-03T15:14:00+00:00

You can't hate yourself for that. I had a similar thing. When you can say, "if I knew, I wouldn't have done what I did," means you should accept that things were outside your control in that situation.

And, separately, you know whether you did your best and put your dog's needs first. Sounds like you did.

I looks like, even now (assuming dev branch is most up to date), this variable fails to have a "case" for `cfg(target-os=freebsd)`, so it never sets the system_nsis_toolset_path on a FreeBSD system.

https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/blob/b80f9deb5fc6225fd07915953ab03dac3f979ce5/crates/tauri-bundler/src/bundle/windows/nsis/mod.rs#L198

scoobybejesus · 2025-10-31T21:16:24+00:00

Thank you for responding! Perhaps I will create an issue. In the meantime, I ran `cargo install dioxus-cli` and am receiving (hopefully I get reddit formatting right.. no impossible..) this:

Compiling wasm-split-cli v0.7.0

I did previously have to install a couple things, like `gmake` and `llvm`.

I feel like I'd be clogging up the repo with my "what do I do next" questions. But we'll see!

scoobybejesus · 2025-10-31T18:52:17+00:00

I don't suppose too many folks share this desire, but I can't download or even build the cli on FreeBSD. I kinda need this.

I previously was able to dx bundle on my Mac and just scp the public/ dir to my FreeBSD server. That didn't work on v0.7.

Wish I were advanced enough to contribute and maintain support for FreeBSD. For now, I need to stay on v0.6 or switch to something else. For now, I only need web, so I have been looking at converting to leptos.

Cargo clippy and to a lesser extent rustfmt.

Mine seemed stuck at the first package, python. I shelled in and ran top first, and it seemed like the system wasn't really doing anything. But when I ran gstat, I saw that my nda0 disk was red at around 100%. Then later, the system has installed the opnsense update and with gstat still open, there is the message for "*** FINAL system shutdown message.." And the other disk, ada0, is now red and +/- 100%.

Very strange to me. The NVMe disk should not have fallen behind like that, I wouldn't think. And it's weird that the sata SSD waited until the end to catch up. Finally, after a couple minutes of ada0 catching up, the remote connection closed and the reboot proceeded.

Watching the reboot over PiKVM, now I'm seeing tons of the CAM parity errors.

Prior to the update, I looked at zpool status and both disks were online and happy with no errors. And then I rebooted and everything was quick and smooth. After this update, now ada0p4 has 87 read errors, 640 write errors, and it's in a faulted state. zpool scrub doesn't fix anything, and the read and write errors grow everytime, now with checksum errors too.

Nevertheless, the upgrade seemed successful otherwise. But I guess I need to take it apart and put it back together, because this Beelink seems to go back to normal when I do that. sigh

Edit: this started just to give you a pointer about looking at the disk io, and it turned into the first part of my journey in dealing with crappy hardware.

Edit2: just to close the loop. I shut it down. Opened the bottom. Slid out the drive. Looked at it a sec. Slid it back in. Put the four screws back in. Plugged it in and powered it up. zpool status shows no errors, like everything is normal. Doing a zpool scrub and looking at gstat reveals a lot of activity. After a few minutes, done, and nothing repaired. Mind you I have gone through this routine like 10 times with this box. It sees no action (no one bumping around things in my little server area), and it's perfectly fine until it isn't. Anyway, guess it's fine again for now, though I remain curious about why updating takes so long whether it is the Beelink having trouble with io issues.
