I’m in the process of figuring out if Bareos can replace AMANDA in my shop. What is better than setting up a test server and do as many mistakes as possible before going live? Continue reading Getting Bareos up & running on FreeBSD stable/12

Binary message in Cisco Digital Network Architecture: Intent-based Networking for the Enterprise (Networking Technology)
I’m waiting for my copy of “Cisco Digital Network Architecture: Intent-based Networking for the Enterprise (Networking Technology)” to arrive. In the meantime, I glanced at the contents on Amazon. Among the dedications, there is a binary message. Add a bit of Erlang magic and the message is revealed.

Adventures in XCP-ng 7.6
I tried XCP-ng in a lab today. The lab ran XenServer 7.6 from my previous experiments. I started long ago with XS 7.2 and 5 hosts in a single pool. The upgrade to XCP-ng 7.6 went smoothly. Continue reading Adventures in XCP-ng 7.6
Safe Kernel Programming with Rust
The discussion on whether FreeBSD should eventually replace C with Rust, produced a link to “Safe Kernel Programming with Rust“, a degree project in computer science and engineering, written by Johannes Lundberg while at KTH in Sweden.
If you aim for printing the PDF file as two-sided, then print the following pages in the following order: 1-3,2,4-56. If booklet printing is desired, then this order produces a good result: 1-3,2,4-55,2,2,2,56.
«I dag kan være en spesiell dag for…»
Det er mye rart man skal se blant mottatte eposter. Tenk at dette skulle komme fra fremtiden. Har noen i fremtiden klart å finne tachyoner og kan bruke de til noe vettugt?

Mer epostskremming
Nå har svindlerne tatt seg bryet med å oversette pjattet sitt til norsk. Tenk om de kunne litt om logikk og rettskrivning i tillegg. Continue reading Mer epostskremming
Android 7.1.1’s Clock app and Do not disturb
The Clock app on my Sony Xperia Z5 running Android 7.1.1 crashed every time I tried using the stopwatch or the countdown timer. Continue reading Android 7.1.1’s Clock app and Do not disturb
Dell Precision 3530 and Symantec Ghost
Be sure to change SATA Operation from RAID to AHCI in the BIOS Settings before running Symantec Ghost from a memory stick. The former setting will effectively hide your NVMe drive. Better safe than sorry, reinstate the RAID selection afterwards. Ref.: https://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/sln301036/windows-10-install-with-nvme-ssd-and-sata-drives?lang=en
hostmaster@ximalas.info is compromised. Password must be changed
This is all so cute. Scammers don’t bother doing any research at all, but harvest our email addresses and send their junk emails high and low. Scammers usually have no sense of spelling nor grammar, which is the case in the matter at hand. Sorry, I don’t scare so easily. Continue reading hostmaster@ximalas.info is compromised.

Upgrading localbase on 13.0-CURRENT using ports-mgmt/synth
I upgraded base from 12.0-ALPHA9 to 13.0-CURRENT (r339639) on a VM today. While preparing for rebuilding localbase, I wiped clean /var/synth/live_packages/{All,Latest}/*, and cleaned the ccache repo stored in /var/cache/ccache. Trouble arose when I ordered ports-mgmt/synth to rebuild some 116 ports according to a specification stored in a local metaport. DEFAULT_VERSION+=ssl=base was being used at the time.
