I used my active HDMI adapter the other day to show the display of my phone to some students. Since then, my phone would only charge in slow mode.

I ran four tests yesterday using iperf3. The T6225-CR NIC still runs with Chelsio’s SM10G-SR optics. It’s amazing that receiving TCP streams runs at full speed. Sending TCP streams limps away only at a few megabits per second. This wasn’t expected at all. Even IPv6 runs faster than IPv4 for these particular tests. The Cisco […]

Chelsio T6225-CR and TOE
After upgrading to a recent base/stable/11, I noticed ifconfig -m now displays two more bits: TOE4 and TOE6 appear in the capabilities word, but not in the options word. (TOE in this case being TCP Offload Engine.)

Today I got error 1603 while installing Autodesk Revit 2019 on a student’s laptop. The best solution is to uninstall all Microsoft Visual C++ runtimes, reboot the computer, and let the Revit installer get its way installing the supplied versions.

I recently ordered a Chelsio T6225-CR network interface card and a couple of SM25G-SR SFP28 optical modules. The aim is to get a 10 Gbit/s connection to the LAN, utilise the off-load capabilities of the NIC, and of course utilise the on-board crypto accelerator. The latter will not be useable until the system moves to the upcoming […]

Migrating UFS filesystem from one disk to another
I needed to migrate an UFS filesystem from one disk to another. I had several options including using two tar processes in a pipeline or using dump and restore in a pipeline. I opted for the latter to make sure everything got preserved during the transfer. Here’s the sequence of commands where /dev/gpt/nroot0 is the […]
