ivyFreeBSD 15 recently gained a nice feature called "exterr”, which allows syscalls to return an error message string in addition to an errno value.that's nice for lots of things, but particularly for things like if_bridge that have a lot of error cases that return EINVAL and it's not really clear what's going on.old behaviour:# ifconfig bridge1 untagged epair2a 20 ifconfig: BRDGSIFPVID 20: Invalid argumentnew behaviour:# ifconfig bridge1 untagged epair2a 20 ifconfig: BRDGSIFPVID 20: Invalid argument (extended error VLAN filtering not enabled)this only works for syscalls which have specifically added support for it, so it'll take a while for everything to get the new errors.<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#freebsd</a>

JimmyChezPants 🇨🇦So I'm curious, <a href="https://growers.social/tags/Musicians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Musicians</a> There are now legions of people using <a href="https://growers.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> for recording, synthesis, processing, etc - it's a full-on cottage industry at this point.There are also a large number of Music Professionals using <a href="https://growers.social/tags/BSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BSD</a>, but they call it MacOS.But what I'm curious about, what is the state of Music Production on <a href="https://growers.social/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> and other non-Apple BSD. I will not be surprised if it turns there are none, nor will I be surprised if it turns out that there is a tiny community of elite DSP nerds making high-end products with it.

TomDoes <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> have some kind of sshd connection throttling mechanism that is outside the PerSourcePenalties config? (I set mine to 'no')Use blacklist is set to no. pf is not running either. Getting really strange intermittent timeouts where I just can't log in yet I can get to the banner with telnet on port 22.Some PAM thing with FreeBSD perhaps?Running tcpdump, the FreeBSD machine is constantly sending its own list of KexAlgorithms until the connection times out.FreeBSD is based sshd: 9.9p2 Connecting client is Linux openssh 10.0p2
