It was 2008 when I first created a Google Map for BSDCan and for PGCon. That year, I create one map, for each conference. In 2009, I needed two different maps because the venues were different.

Pentabarf is the conference tool used by BSDCan and PGCON. I upgraded it recently and ran into trouble. I think that has been resolved now. Since I last upgraded Pentabarf, it went from using svn to using git. Thus, you need a clean checkout of Pentabarf. I copied away the original source before I did

Backups come in three flavors: Full – backup everything Differential – backup everything since the last Full backup Incremental – backup everything since the last backup (Full or Incremental) I took the above from What Is Bacula?

It appears that FiOS has stopped blocking port 80. I discovered this last night when I accidentally pasted a URL for http://beta.freebsddiary.org/ into an IRC channel. That website used to be publicly available, until Dec 2007 when I moved to Philadelphia and started with FiOS. Sometime after that, things started work. Looking back in my

I noticed today that the Bacula installation was still using the default File Storage location of /tmp. That is adequate for testing, but we should move it elsewhere. The safest approach to making this change is: stop bacula-sd copy the files to the new location rename the old location amend bacula-sd.conf restart bacula-sd test After

I use Bacula. To be clear, I wrote part of Bacula (the PostgreSQL part). Today I need to find out what jobs are on each of three tapes. Why? I just happened to cancel a 1.5TB job a few hours before it was to finish. By this time it had written to three tapes. I
