I visited and didn't get that message. I'm using ublock origin on firefox. This is on windows 11, but ublock is ublock and ought to work just the same on NetBSD. On Tue, Oct 18, 2022 at 9:20 PM Todd Gruhn wrote: > SOO, go to kitco.com > > Pops up : "you're using an Ad Block" . > > How do

Re: Configuring a FireFox build with pkgtools

Have you tried using about:preferences to change the font? You might also check to see what (if any) theme you're using on windows -as well as plug-ins. Some things can be changed pretty easily such as showing the bookmark toolbar by default. Other things may depend on the window manager

Confused about setting up MATE desktop

Hi I'm building MATE from pkgsrc 2021Q2 in a VirtualBox machine (amd64) and so far so good. However, I realize that I'm probably missing a lot of steps and I'm not having great luck finding out what all I need to build, enable or add to rc.conf. Dbus is an obvious one, but after that I have

Re: ZFS Howto first cut

I think it would be good to explain how to set it up on NetBSD -at least for x64 and x86. Specifically; tell people to put zfs=YES in rc.conf, then give instructions on how to create some pools, and then point to the oracle docs for more on zfs. Although it might be better to point to

Hi I'm playing with netbsd on virtualbox. Because NetBSD can't boot from ZFS (for now) I have two disks; a small one for the system and a larger one to put zfs and other things on. I've figured out how to create and destroy pools and datasets; but I haven't been able to figure out how to
