Three days in Milan

This morning I had to go to the US Consulate in Milan to get the visa. I’m in Milan since Wednesday, hosted by Max Stucchi. On Wednesday night, GUFIPizza took place: it’s the monthly meeting of the GUFI (FreeBSD Italian Users Group) members who live near Milan. Since I was there, other members who don’t [...]

New HD

My Thinkpad R50e came with a 40GB HD. Too little space for my coming needs, as the laptop (krapfengeist) will be my main technology tool while in the US. Therefore, I decided to buy a new 160GB HD and today I configured it with GELI+Gjournal, dumped my old HD to it and swapped the HDs. [...]

Laptop Status

I’m pretty happy of the status of the FreeBSD installation on my laptop: I’m running HEAD and have skype-devel, jdk15, eclipse, and OpenOffice.org-2.4. Eventually, last night I moved my home to a new slice with GELI+Gjournal. Still to do: Tor configuration…and flash: gnash doesn’t seem to be so stable ATM on my laptop..It may be [...]

Busting PR’s

Yesterday (and today, FWIW) I’m in a good mood, and without any serious plan to study hard. Weather is not good and the light is awful so no walking around taking photos. What does it all mean? It means: it’s PR-busting time! I rewrite the rpcbind’s -h <bindip> option (still to be committed, waiting for [...]

ftpd(8) + PF + ftp-proxy on the same host

Eventually I managed to make ftpd, PF and ftp-proxy work on the same machine with one network interface. My /etc/rc.conf: [...] pf_enable=”YES” pflog_enable=”YES” ftpd_enable=”YES” # Enable stand-alone ftpd. ftpd_flags=”-46Dl” ftpproxy_enable=”YES” ftpproxy_flags=”-R 127.0.0.1″ [...] My /etc/pf.conf: [...] #nat section nat-anchor “ftp-proxy/*” rdr-anchor “ftp-proxy/*” rdr pass on $if proto tcp from any to $if port 9021 -> [...]

compiz-fusion

Yes, I admit it. I didn’t know that accelerated graphics drivers were available on FreeBSD (-CURRENT) for my ATI Radeon X700 PCI-E. But yesterday afternoon the will to study for the exam of databases was under my feet, so I configured the graphics acceleration and compiz-fusion. To make AIGLX work, the patch in PR kern/114668 [...]

Time for a new FreeSBIE ISO image

So, RELENG_7 was branched and it seems a good idea to release a new ISO image of FreeSBIE based on it. It also looks like people want it (thank you, Julian ), so I think it is a really good idea. I must admit I’ve not a lot of time to work on it, so [...]

USB Pen Working!

In a previous post, I asked how to set a blacklist for HAL because my USB pen didn’t work on FreeBSD. I tried again today and it works flawlessy. *YUPPIDUUU*
