No sure what you mean, but thanks for stopping by :-)

Very nice tip, thank you! Also thanks for stopping by :-)

Thank you for the comment! Glad you enjoyed :-)

Thanks! Nowadays I don't use Pascal as much as I used to, but... programming career really took off when I started learning Pascal by myself with Turbo/Borland Pascal in MS-DOS, through a magazine called "Spooler Magazine" - which was the equivalent to (i guess) Byte Magazine but local to the Portuguese market... the good old days :-)

Thank you :-) BTW - ghidra is now in the official ports tree (again). If you are "sitting" on latest, just "pkg install ghidra", if you are "sitting" on quarterly, then just need to wait a bit until it propagates... Or.. you can use the info in this video to get it anyhow :-)

Thank you also for the comment. I am still learning how to make videos... hopefully they are getting better in quality :-)

Really nice :-) Thanks. For me, my language skills vary - I am originally from Portugal, but living in Germany since more than 20 years; and... my wife is from Vietnam... so, not only did I loose part of the Portuguese accent, but I also picked up lots of accents from different areas/countries. The important thing is that what I am saying can be understood. Very glad that you are looking at FreeBSD version 2.2.1; by the way - 86Box is now officially in the ports tree, so you can just "pkg install 86Box", and all should work out easily and fine!

Thank you. Still learning how to port software to FreeBSD, but I am getting better due to awesome help from the community :-)

Hi; thanks for the comment. I have tried openbsd and I find it really nice, but I mainly use FreeBSD myself. Maybe at some point in time, I will take a closer look, but for now, I'm sticking with what I feel more comfortable with :-)

I will have to investigate a bit how to do it...This suggestion is certainly a really nice idea :-) I might take some time to achieve this, as it is summer vacation, and kids are jumping around... but I hope to get back to this ASAP. Thanks for the comment!

Awesome! Yes, I am also thinking about trying out some extra software... currently looking at a good source/collection of software specifically for 1.0, or maybe just a bit later (e.g. 1.1). If you know of a possible source for old ports, I would be very grateful... For the 86Box, you can download the patch from here: bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=280205 Should compile smoothly... or, you can just wait a bit until it is in the official ports tree, and then just "pkg install" and rock-n-roll :-)

Thank you for the comment :-)

Hi. you mean that you cannot install packages with pkg? an easy way to solve that is to set the machine to bridged mode... Also, you might want to check the information here: docs.getutm.app/settings-qemu/devices/network/network/ Cheers!

Hi. A "regular" user should (normally) not have the need to create any service. However, if you are a software developer that wants to deploy a self-developed application that provides some service, or have some program that should be used as a service but does not have a corresponding rc script, then this information might be useful :-)

@@BSDJedi makes sense! appreciate the explanation

Thanks for the comment also :-) I am very happy that you find the videos interesting and motivating. Go ahead - give FreeBSD a try - you might just "get hooked" :-)

Nice :-) Lets be grateful to the video-editing Gods, that made a 5min (still super fast!) doxygen documentation generation clip in only about 15 seconds...

@@BSDJedi and just a few improvements in IPC and extended instruction sets 😀

Thanks! Luck has stroke in this case, as my kids are out for the day, and I can focus some time on my hobbies :-)

Thanks for the comment. OK, stay tuned :-)

Done ...

Thanks :-) Yes - I found a way to change the color of the cursor depending on the user... so... no more red terminal background... hahaha

Ah, now I realized that this color trickery is still not to be seen in this video... but the next one will have... blue cursor for regular user, red cursor for root... that should be fine :-)

Very glad you liked :-) Thanks for the sub.

Yes, indeed very nice for automation :-) Thank you for passing by

@@BSDJedi if you keep putting out fascinating *BSD content, you can bet on me keepin on passing by :D

Thank you :-)

Thanks :-) From what I understand, more and more system utilities are getting the "libxo treatment"; it just takes time but also requires that someone is willing to do the changes and commit back to the FreeBSD project... The jc tool is really neat - I did not know about it before; always learning... IMHO, the advantage of incorporating libxo directly into the binary is that no text processing needs to happen, therefore no chance to get anything garbled up (e.g. due to the potentially different output produced by different binary versions, or misinterpretation of spaces/tabs...) - and that is probably what you mean with "much cleaner" :-)

@@BSDJedi Nothing happens quickly in the BSD ecosystem it seems, the smaller pool of developers (compared to Linux) is obviously one reason. Keep up the good work, much appreciated.

Yes, I agree - had good intention, but at the end was a bad choice... I learned the lesson - next videos will not have red color in the terminal... in any case, i hope you liked the content... cheers!

Hi. If you mean in the terminal, I am using "Solarized Light" in this video, and my terminal is the "Terminator". I know many people prefer darker themes, but I cannot use them. If you mean the cursor color in the terminal, then this setting I have changed myself using the PS1 environment variable... :-) Hope I answered your question....

Oh wait... now I also have that song in my head... hahaha :-)

Cool. Nice that you stop by :-) and thank you for the comment.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed :-)

Thank you - nice one - I was not aware of this... :-) Always learning... I will check it out and if I can easily reproduce, I might go for a video...

@@BSDJedi have you check

Hi. Yes, I have checked the problem, but until now I could not reproduce the issue, and could not find any source with a good PoC. Still investigating if I can do it, in some free time I have, but looks a bit difficult to get it done. Last time I tried to debug the kernel, to see if the method that I am using is somehow working. The description of the issue is very laconic, which is good - not only the (potential) issue has been fixed, but it makes it take much more effort for a potential attacker to reproduce it... If you have any information about a PoC, I would be glad to investigate further; otherwise it might just take time to get things all together.... :-(

@@BSDJedi THANKS FOR THE REPLY

That is a great suggestion with the bordered colors - I (currently) do not know how to do it, but will for sure investigate it because that would be the optimal solution, IMHO :-)

Also great work and don't worry too much about the red. I'm just glad you're making content about the wonderful OS that is FreeBSD. Red is a great FreeBSD colour.

Cool. I did not know about the NFS thingy - but it only makes sense. In my understanding, jails are "glorified chroot's" - but don't quote me on that :-) Yes they are really really nice but, as with everything, if someone uses this technology, they should know what they are doing...

Yes... I am still learning a lot on how to make these videos good quality. Thanks for the nice comment :-)

@@BSDJedi and it's appreciated. Used to use OpenBSD back in the day (when ever that openssh auth bypass by Gobbles came out) and more recently Nomad and Ghost spins but thinking it's time to format the laptop.

Thank you for stopping by, and I am really happy you liked it :-)

Yes, you are absolutely right. If a system is exposed to the internet it should be hardened. Just try to deploy a machine in AWS and you will see than in a matter of minutes, all sorts of random IP addresses will be trying to brute-force it...

Glad that I can put out some useful things out there. But, as always, do consider hardening the system, especially if it is exposed on the internet...

Always trying to go by the KISS principle :-)

Yes - that is also an awesome way to do it. Unfortunately the Ansible connection does not work with expect or, if it does, I am now aware of how to make it work... But expect might be also a very simple solution, especially to bootstrap local machine deployments, e.g. when using bhyve or VirtualBox :-)

Cool. Never realised that! thanks for pointing it out :-)

Very happy that you found it interesting. All the best; cheers :-)

Nice. I got introduced to Linux and FreeBSD through a radio amateur group which my father used to attend every week or so. In this group there were some colleagues that were also giving classes at the university; I was very young back then - I was not even in high-school; must have been like 12 or 14 years old... and this means that, since I was not having access to university, and internet access was mostly non-existing (we either used BBS, forwarded emails through AX.25, or had our own packet station like F6FBB), I had to learn things by myself - read documentation and come up with my own solutions... :-) [btw- the f6ffb webpage is still online, but the content is frozen from 96 - the last release...] A bit later, when I entered university, i got again acquainted with FreeBSD, and had the opportunity to work as a sys admin to the students‘s network (running Linux/Slackware).

Thanks! The problem is that as far as things are, I could not get any video driver in FreeBSD to work with UTM nicely. So, I just disabled it, and went for the solution that I presented. If in the future I can make it work (since UTM is a relatively active project, this will change), then there should be no need to disable video...

Oh! Also nice. Always learning... thanks :-)

Nice. Never knew that :-)

Yes, but not only changed for change itself, but changed for the best :-)

That is really awesome. If I remember correctly, I started with 4.x or 5.x; but I wanted to know/experience what it was like to get the very first release up and running :-)

​@@BSDJedi I was introduced to FreeBSD at the end of first year university. Ended up knowing it really well. Made a diskless FreeBSD X server for a uni project. Managed to get NE2000 with a EPROM loading files via tFTP and NFS. Pretty fun project. So much easier these days. So seeing MFS root floppy brought back memories because at one point I was trialling booting from floppies and then NFS. However etherboot was a thing and that was a much smaller floppy than 2x1.44MB. not sure if 14 has support for floppy booting.

Compiling a kernel was worthwhile back in 2.2. mainly because I had 8MB of RAM. So every byte saved was able to be used. FreeBSD 1 may have been able to access your CD if it was SCSI but I think IDE support only came later. In those days I had a 2x Matsushita drive running off a sound blaster 16. That was the fashion at the time.

@@vk3fbab Indeed, it sounds like a cool project. At the university (I started in 97 at FEUP in Portugal), I was part of the sys admin group for the student's Linux systems. I also remember discussing programming EPROMs with me colleagues but, if I remember correctly, it had to do with the MAC addresses - dont remember why now we wanted to change the MAC addresses, and we could only do this by reprogramming the EEPROM. With later network cards you could do it from the command line... :-)

@@vk3fbab Nice, I think I read something on the FreeBSD 1.0 docs about the SCSI CD-ROM drives - maybe I can investigate if this is possible with PCem, or maybe with qemu... Back then, I also had the Sound Blaster card, and I distinctly remember that the CD-ROM connected to that card also; and yes, I think it was also a Matsushita. But I also remember a CD-ROM where you had to put the CD inside a "cover" that would be itself inserted into the drive - dont remember the model / brand though...

Thank you for the thumbs-up :-)

Awesome. Glad I could serve as an inspiration, because FreeBSD is really cool! Cheers!

Nice :-) Glad that you found the video to be interesting. I know what you mean; I have been there myself... :-)
