Boot menu changes in base/head r325694
Update 2017-11-13 r325743 corrected the mistakes. The below no longer applies. Remove /boot/loader.rc.local if you created it. /boot/loader.rc used to be copied from base/head/sys/boot/i386/loader/loader.rc on FreeBSD/amd64. With r325694 this changed to base/head/sys/boot/forth/loader.rc. Nothing was added to base/head/UPDATING, explaining this change. As instructed in /boot/loader.rc, to regain our beloved boot menu, we must create and edit […]

Markedsavdelinger er kjekke saker. En samling [av] moteløver med redusert kunnskap [som] skal belære de uvitende om tingenes fortreffelighet. Da blir det gjerne mye glatt sveis og påtatt glising i samband med hurtigsnakk og utstrakt bruk av “buzz words”. Det er jo gjerne denna[sic] sausen av presentasjonselite som har ansvaret for produktnavn. Ref.: https://www.digi.no/artikler/alle-lytter-nar-hun-snakker-smarttelefonen-er-dod-om-ti-ar/411202.

I have been playing with perfSONAR 4.0.1 on CentOS 7, using the FullInstall iso image. I should point out my intention of running perfSONAR with IPv6 only. The first impressions aren’t that great. The web UI allows me to select Norway as my country of residence, but it doesn’t save the selected country. If I […]

One or more of the recent updates for Windows 10 rendered my laptop incapable of communicating with the outside world. The Windows Firewall failed to run due to Base Filtering Engine not being able to run either. It’s the dreaded “Error 5: Access denied” error message all over again.

The Office 365 instance installed on a student’s laptop showed signs of not being activated and in need of an update. Clicking on any of the small buttons below the ribbon made no difference. Running Office updates manually from “File → Account → Update” gave us an error message: 30125-28 (404). Running sfc /scannow with […]

pf(4) is a bit optimistic with regard to how many states it can track using the defaults. Raising the hard limits to four times the default seems better:

Cisco’s Catalyst 9400 Series introduced this summer do look promising, but it’s still missing a few highlights: Complete support for redundant supervisors; unavailable according to the release notes dated July 31, 2017 The supervisor module (hardware) supports redundancy, but the software does not.
