CIRCLE WITH A DOT

Happy Friday #FreeBSD

Installed #FreeBSD on a machine I'm considering for a home router here in the USA ... for ... um ... reasons. I seem to be unable to form the internet search to find "enable screen power down for VGA so that the video console blanks and enters DPMS off" on the internet. Any help here?

This morning I coined a new phrase. Inspired by "This meeting could have been an email", I came up with the assonant "This VM could have been a jail".#FreeBSD #RunBSD #IT #SysAdmin

If you are new down the #FreeBSD rabbit hole, a free piece of advice would be to get into a habit of searching "freshports <package you want to use>".You'd be amazed how much awesome code has a native port.

@thorsten Glad you like it

@Alfonso Siciliano Yay! Congrats, and great work!

@elena @ilja @teapot_ben @drfyzziks @antoine_ali @stereo @jan Thank you! And thank you for your help in creating a healthy, friendly and welcoming world!

@ricardo @FiLiS make it a triple

@Larvitz Ah, you don’t really need that anymore these days 🫣 — Gemini CLI and Codex are faster anyway

@evgandr cool that is exactly what I am missing. Is it something similar on openbsd?
