My neighbours had a fire in July 2015. Today, the dumpster left. They were not home today when the dumpster was hauled off. I took these photos and the video for their enjoyment. * Dumpster loading * Dumpster being driven away If you want the copies of these, I have them on my phone and I’ll send them to you.

I upgraded my pfSense box to 2.3 last night. Here is what I got: # uname -a FreeBSD bast.int.unixathome.org 10.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE #4 05adf0a(RELENG_2_3_0): Mon Apr 11 19:09:19 CDT 2016 root@factory23-amd64-builder:/builder/factory-230/tmp/obj/builder/factory-230/tmp/FreeBSD-src/sys/pfSense amd64 These are the package repos they are using (as taken from pkg -vv): Repositories: pfSense-core: { url : “pkg+http://firmware.netgate.com/pkg/pfSense_factory-v2_3_0_amd64-core”, enabled : yes, priority : 0, mirror_type : “SRV”, signature_type : “FINGERPRINTS”, fingerprints : “/usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg” } pfSense: { url : “pkg+http://firmware.netgate.com/pkg/pfSense_factory-v2_3_0_amd64-pfSense_factory-v2_3_0”, enabled

I have 5 Raspberry Pi 2 here. I’m going to install FreeBSD 11.x on them. I’ve already done one. The second is started, and now I’m going to write it down so I know what to do the next time. The wiki entry will contain the latest status. The binaries Rasperberry Pi 2 only runs FreeBSD 11.x (10.x will run on the B but not the 2). If you have Rasperberry Pi B,

I searched with Google and found only questions. This next command confirms my cronjob suspicion: OK, it’s got to be a cronjob. For the record, uid 65534 is the predefined user nobody

I recently watched a great video about design decisions. It features Mike Monteiro speaking at Webstock 13. I particularly liked these quotes: 28:15 – And remember every single time that you, as a designer, make it easier and more pleasant for anyone to find and use information and tools that help people live their lives, you have contributed something important to the world. 40:10 – Every time you let somebody else tell you
