By the way - does 32bit packages 'problem' for WINE has been resolved on 15.x series?

On 14.x and older versions WINE brings `/usr/local/share/wine/pkg32.sh` to keep 32bit packages for WINE32 ... but 15.x does not build 32bit packages anymore ...

I also regret that change.

Big downgrade after moving to Linux:

Manufacturer/vendor did not provided open source driver with real freedom license (BSD/MIT/...) or documentation on which the driver could be written ... this is the result ... and its still better to overcome a problem in any way then to NOT overcome it at all ... and this driver is just a code - people can look at it and improve it.

> Manufacturer/vendor did not provided open source driver with real freedom license (BSD/MIT/...)

Article says,

> Brcmfmac is a Linux driver (ISC licence) for set of FullMAC chips from Broadcom

I don't feel like looking to see where the Linux driver came from, but someone provided a permissively-licensed driver.

> I don't feel like looking to see where the Linux driver came from

It's originally from Broadcom themselves. A lot of Broadcom hardware runs linux natively (i.e. mobile and embedded CPUs), and a ton more of it ships in linux-adjacent devices (routers, android devices, etc)

Its the same thing - just different naming.

    > I'm running FreeBSD because I prefer it over Linux.

Me too but there are things that will not be ported (at least soon) anyway ... that is where Linux Compat Layer helps. Even simple watching movies with DRM bullshit (Widevine) or using a Brave browser that is not in the FreeBSD Ports ... or running Linux games ... or CUDA workaround ... and no NopeVidia will not provide official CUDA support anytime soon.

Also please remember that entire The Matrix (1999) movie was rendered [1] on FreeBSD machines in Linux Compat Layer because the software used to do that was not natively available on FreeBSD an yet it sill run faster on FreeBSD in Linux Compat Layer then natively on Linux. Let that sink in.

Even today [2] playing Linux games in Linux Compat Layer is faster then natively on Linux - with more FPS and more 'stable' gameplay.

Hope that helps.

In the reference video you posted he literally states that the FreeBSD version was less stable than Linux, that he experienced repeated game crashes in FreeBSD, that frame rates would drop 50% without explanation and that the overall experience was better on Linux than FreeBSD or Windows.

It should also be noted that it’s also not native on Linux either as he’s using Wine on both Linux and FreeBSD

Maybe with games from 2004 and the like, the ones built to run with a single thread. With ntsync (and previously, esync/fsync) that's not true anymore with games designed for multiple cores.

Why are you using a scam crypto browser?

Brave does fall under crypto, yeah, but I don't know about it being a scam. You don't need to engage with the crypto/web3 and all of those can be disabled.

Me too brother, me too.

Next pressure point to install Linux: UniFi controller becomes huge container for Docker, not Java application which can be run anywhere.

I modified the article to copy the keytab using scp(1) instead.

I hope I was clear enough that credit for the solution goes to Christian Hofstede-Kuhn (Larvitz).

I treat my blog also as a place where I keep and maintain my FreeBSD documentation/information.

So there are several motivations for this:

- Keep and maintain personal version with more code snippets that I can copy/paste fast.

- More detailed commands and outputs.

- Some additional improvements that may be useful – like local console login.

Hope that helps.

Looks inside.

Only Google phones are supported.

Curtain drops ...

Good point - gonna add a notice about that - thank You.

I also covered Keycloak on FreeBSD in the past - here:

Hope that helps.

Awesome, it definitely helps. I realized I have your blog already bookmarked, I subscribed to the RSS feed now as well :) I am new to FreeBSD and these kind of practical articles are really helpful. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with others.

Thanks.
