Introduction

I attempt little and accomplish still less with great success.

Canary

  1. 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;
  2. I have NEVER received a warrant from any government organisation;
  3. I have NEVER received a gag order;
  4. I have NEVER received a National Security letter.

Wiki projects

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
