I like readability. I like it in variable names. I prefer something descriptive and easy to ready. In in this post: FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p4 poudriere 3.3.7 I recently started getting messages like this from my daily poudiere build: I could just rename the sets, everything would be rebuilt, but then clients would be stuck pointing at […]
net/mosquitto is an open source (BSD licensed) message broker that implements the MQ Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol. I use it for event notification.

This was written a few weeks ago and I just noticed today that it had not been published. Following on from I bought a new nvme drive – or did I?, I ran stressdisk on it. [dvl@test ~]$ sudo gpart add -a 4k -t freebsd-zfs nvd0 nvd0p1 added [dvl@test ~]$ gpart show nvd0 => 34 […]
To be fair, the name servers weren’t offline, just the two zone files I amended. The effect: none of my services at home were available to anything at home. The other day, I was working on some procedures for adding a jail to a host and then a jail within that jail. I wanted to […]
Bought a new NVMe drive. Installed it using cheap PCIe adaptor bought off Amazon. From /var/run/dmesg.boot nvd0: NVMe namespace nvd0: 244198MB (500118192 512 byte sectors) Surprisingly, the device is already partitioned.

On one recent FreeBSD 13 host, I noticed a lack of motd. The MOTD (Message Of The Day) appears when you login. Typically, it looks like this: [dan@rose:~] $ r720 Last login: Mon Aug 2 00:30:13 2021 from air01.startpoint.vpn.unixathome.org FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p3 (GENERIC) #0: Tue Jun 29 19:46:20 UTC 2021 Welcome to FreeBSD!

In the past, I have tried vnet jails with pf, and hit trouble. I was never able to get pf to allow the vnet traffic when having a default ‘block log all’ rule. More recently, I encountered the same problem when using byhve. This time, I moved byhve to another host, which is not using […]
NOTE: This post was composed in June 2020. I think I got started running conferences in 2002 when I helped with Open Source Weekend 2003. The next year, I started BSDCan. Three years later, PGCon start. All up, I think I’ve run at least 32 conferences, two of which have been online: BSDCan 2020 and […]
HEADS UP: this is still under review. Until this notice is removed, I recommend not using this. I have a Dell R720 at an ISP. The iDRAC connection is filtered, by the ISP, and is accessible only from a small number of IP addresses. Sure, this talks about a web proxy. It works. So does […]
To ignore files in your subversion working directory, try this. [dan@dev-ingress01:~/scripts]: $ svn st M . ? helper_scripts ? show-config.sh ? test-categories.pl ? test-new-xml-code-single.sh ? test-new-xml-code-starting-from.sh I want to ignore all those files, so: $ svn st > .IgnoreThese Then I edit the file, so only the file names are shown. Something like this: Then […]
