Blarg. I hate to say it, but I am putting learning my python on my todo list as that drek language is sadly in vogue when it comes to devops, even though perl + rex is much nicer.

Been work with Elasticsearch and been really sorta meh with Kibana. Fixed that with a bit of Perl. Handles fail2ban, syslog, postfix, and HTTP access so far.

Being able to search and display it via the command line I've been finding incredibly handy.

Today Encephalon and Blue Stahli have been on heavy rotation in terms of what I've been listening to. The Antisleep albums by Blue Stahli are some truly lovely instrumentals. As to Encephalon, their more recent album Psychogenesis makes for a interesting dark contrast to their upbeat album The Transhuman Condition.

I really want to like the NextCloud CalDav stuff... but it just lacks so much stuff compared to davical.

Honestly it is amazing at how terrible all the caldav stuff still is in general.

Developing a colorized and enhanced netstat has been going nicely. It can search based on CIDR, port, and more. :3

For any one who has ever wanted to parse netstat data with Perl and then search it, I wrote something that nicely does that using the returned data from Parse::Netstat.

Now to make something for colorizing it.

Monit!

Just replaced sysutils/fsc with sysutils/monit and so far am loving it. Got tired of fscd occasionally freaking out and going in crazy loops when it comes to restarting stuff over and over.

yeah! icu strikes again

Honestly icu is a package I really hate upgrading. It seems like anytime I upgrade it, there is always something that did not get properly bumped or is not properly marked as a depend or something.

Spent like 30 minutes trying to figure out what has happening with dovecot and PHP and why webmail was starting to be funny.

So apparently bits of php fail silently if it wants icu can get it. In this case it resulted in the IMAP module reporting issues connecting to the IMAP server.

Gitea

I like it. Fairly light. I just wish there was something like it for svn.

Looking at making the migration from svn to git for the purpose of having a webfront end etc for greater collaboration as I move forward.

FreeBSD Bluetooth Audio

The secret to it that no on mentions is that you need to run sdpd as well. On another note, I am realizing I don't seem to know that much about the protocol.

On another note, currently pondering what it takes to get virtually routable OSS working. Virtual_oss works for a chunk of it, but does not work a constant sync as I can't retarget it with out killing it.

Sndiod was my next stop, but appears to be the same problem... plus no way to map OSS to sndio.

Getting the One Mix Yoga to work with FreeBSD...

First booting it requires this bit set at boot. During install you will need to enter it at the loader prompt.

hint.uart.0.disabled="1"
hint.uart.1.disabled="1"

Then when finishing the install you will want to add that to '/boot/loader.conf' before exiting and rebooting.

if_iwm_load="YES"
iwm7265Dfw_load="YES"
ums_load="YES"
chvgpio_load="YES"
coretemp_load="YES"

That all is also handy to add as well. The mouse will load up as a UHID device otherwise once devd starts if you let it. Also as / is not mounted yet, unless you load the FW now, the kernel won't be able to load it automatically. The last two are optional.

Just do your standard X stuff and then change the driver to this...

Section "Device" Identifier "Card0"
Driver "scfb"
Option "Rotate" "cw"
Option "NoAccel" "True"
EndSection

The framebuffer driver actually works rather well. Although it will load up corrupt every other time, so you may need to kill X if you restart it.

Sadly FreeBSD as no equivalent of fbcon=rotate:1 .

On the todo list for my weekend, leather work. Need to put together a belt pouch for my One Mix Yoga. Looking forward to having a small portable unix box again. It is what I missed about my old N900. Although I like that this one is FreeBSD... sadly not as small as the N900 and has no cell connectivity.

ack! Just noticed https://goatdaddy.net/ was working but not http://goatdaddy.net/ thanks to htaccess erroring on that thanks to the virtual dir for PHP-FPM not being ignored in the htaccess. Forgot it requires a different instance of that for HTTP and HTTPS and had it only ignoring one of them.

FreeBSD 11.2 on the One Mix Yoga

Got a One Mix Yoga and I've thrown FreeBSD 11.2 on it. I've been really pleased with it. Sound and touch screen does not work, but wireless and the mouse does so it all good.

Also I am really pleased with the performance of the scfb X driver.

Been reconning my new One Mix Yoga via Xubuntu 18.04 for getting FreeBSD on it. One thing has really stood out to me and that is how fucking little software is available in Ubuntu.

Also was Pocket Pussy already taken for a release name?

One Mix Yoga, got one coming and am going to be trying FreeBSD out on it. Looking forward to it.

Should be interesting, given its very low power proc and small size.

When it comes to the GDFPR, I find it curious how people constantly overlook it does nothing to shutdown the bad actors. Just creates some fines the large companies can pay, requires them to rewrite their software, and add a few additional bits to their EULAs so it can be business as usual.

The fact it did not outlaw the sort of datamining Google and Facebook does and adds in toeknized pseudonymisation is all one needs to see it is a joke. Sure, you can ask them to delete the mapping key, but that is pointless with the amount of data being gathered as it will quickly be regenerated.

Crony capitalism at its finest. Allows large companies to be pieces of shit while helping lock out smaller ones.

It utterly ignores what it is trying to regulate is a market that needs to flat out die.

Watching people try to defend WebUSB is painful and cringe worthy.

On a similar note it is curious to watch people deny the massive holes in the GDPR.

Red Shell Spyware

Been interesting to look at how the mods on various subreddits have been burying it. On the popular gaming subreddits there are no pinned posts about it, despite the level of scandal, notability, and the like of it.
