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 […]

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.

I downloaded a new version of NASA’s Eyes from https://eyes.nasa.gov/. The old version was unable to upgrade itself for some reason. I ran a simulation on Voyager 1 towards the end of its life.

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 […]
