If you have APU or similar router, it's a big chance you'll need serial console
install procedure. You'll have to mount install image before booting and change
/boot/loader.conf so it includes the lines to use serial console:
boot_multicons="YES"
boot_serial="YES"
comconsole_speed="115200"
console="comconsole,vidconsole"
When the …

If you didn't get it by now, I'm huge CBSD fan. Actually, I'm CBSD developer
now. :o) One of the things I play with is Reggae, and some people asked me to
describe it and make a demo. So here goes the explanation why I created it, how
to use …

It's bad to start your post with an apology, but I must: this one won't deal
with FreeBSD as much as set some foundation for the posts to come.
The base for a good digital audio workstation, or DAW for short is audio
interface. That is the piece of equipment …

By now you know how to manage jails with Makefile.
It's nice, but I took it a bit further this past few months. I realized that
Makefile can effectively replace Vagrant, so I created program called
Reggae: REGister Globaly Access Everywhere.
In short it consists of few scripts that (de …

I am proud owner of a home audio studio, but it has a big flaw: hardware is not
open source. You may think it's not a big deal, but once you want to alter
something, you realize you're stuck. Let me explain. My mixer is digital and
you control it …

The problem I was having was that I could record MIDI, but not send it to
hardware output. For impatient, just run chmod o+rw /dev/umidi*
. Yes, it was
that stupid and it took me few days to realize what's the problem, so let's go

Since October last year I've been trying to get my FreeBSD box compile working
binary for Arduino Due. For some reason, GCC produced binary is missing a
section which I observed through readelf. I tried to debug this, but I'm not
even novice kernel developer, let alone bare metal embeded …

So you have all the pieces installed and configured. Let's do something on top
of that. I don't like Vagrant, now that CBSD and Jails are around, but it's
perfect for DevOps jobs. I remember a friend of mine using Makefile for DevOps,
even if under it is Docker or …

FreeBSD digital audio workstation, or DAW for short, is now possible. At this
very moment it's not user friendly that much, but you'll manage. What I want to
say is that I worked on porting some of the audio apps to FreeBSD, met some
other people interested in porting audio …

The reason I tried FreeBSD in August, after 11 years of being happy with Gentoo
then Debian was the article about Docker on FreeBSD. I knew about PF, ZFS and
DTrace from the past, but ability to run Linux images was just too good to be
true. To the extent …
