Introduction
I attempt little and accomplish still less with great success.
Canary
- I have NEVER committed a code change to any free software project (including FreeBSD) as a result of being contacted or forced by a government organisation;
- I have NEVER received a warrant from any government organisation;
- I have NEVER received a gag order;
- I have NEVER received a National Security letter.
Wiki projects
- listing of vps hosts - coming
Other FreeBSD projects/goals (or) why we can't have nice things
- at(1) corrent “+ 1 minute”
- modularize Jails configs
- Document SuperMicro secondary GPT mishandling on some hardware
- …and firmware upgrades via FreeDOS, if possible
- see about getting more things linked into writeable /tmp in the live environment
- in doing so, we can do things like set a root password and launch sshd to ease remote installs
- sshd_config, passwd, master.passwd, what else?
- Document running Poudriere in jails.
- Document T420 setup notes
- Correct DRM, kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=6, synaptics, sound, etc.
maybe figure out why Linux can run xbacklight with an X tweak, while we need intel_backlight- this last is largely obviated by backlight(8) as of FreeBSD 13
- Thinkpad charge thresholds
- barrier(1) keyboard mapping snafu
- system beep control - sleep/wake and xset b, etc.
- I like the backlight(8) approach
- Things I want that Linux does:
- dmesg(8) -w and -T
- date(1) -d
- mount(8) automatic use of fstyp(8)
- ability to control characteristics of system beep, both via xset b and without X - e.g., beeo on acpi events
