Weekdays missing from xclock‘s digital display
I noticed the weekdays was missing from xclock‘s digital display when run in FreeBSD base/head aka 11.0-ALPHA6. FreeBSD stable/10 doesn’t have this problem.

I came across Dan Langille post on security/ssl-admin and figured I should try it before my old certificates expires later in 2016. ssl-admin exists mainly for managing OpenVPN certificates, and with some tweaking you can make it work for ordinary SSL/TLS services.

«Oppgraderinger» er bare «bloatware»
Et noe omskrevet sitat fra en kommentar hos digi.no: «Oppgraderinger» i dag er bare «bloatware» med ingen ytelsesforbedringer, og er fullstappet med bakgrunnstjenester som overvåker deg og tapper maskinen for krefter.

One of my MySQL 5.7.12 instances refused to start after upgrading to FreeBSD’s MySQL port version 5.7.12_1, claiming: 2016-05-18T11:03:26.688719Z 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: The Auto-extending innodb_system data file ‘/var/db/mysql/ibdata1’ is of a different size 4864 pages (rounded down to MB) than specified in the .cnf file: initial 8192 pages, max 0 (relevant if non-zero) pages! “Googling” […]

I too was bitten by the portupgrade uninstall error, due to broken pipes, on my laptop running FreeBSD/amd64 stable/10. Others have identified the file 5.26 utility as the culprit, introduced in stable/10 as r298920. Watch PR 209211 for any progress. base/head was corrected at r299234, and stable/10 will follow soon.

All FreeBSD systems under my care got upgraded last Friday to fix some NTP bugs. That upgrade introduced a new bug in the kernel. The bug first appeared at r298004 in base/head, and later at r298134 in base/stable/10. The i386-based systems were more notably affected than the amd64-based systems, as the former typically has less […]
