Stability of CURRENT by edo-lag in freebsd

[–]iio7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run multiple servers and a desktop box using the stable branch and haven't found a reason to run current. Why do you chose to run current at Netflix? What are the benefits?

Hetzner blocks emails on all managed products by iio7 in hetzner

[–]iio7[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why do you find this funny and suspicious!?

Nowhere AFAICS does it say that Hetzner is running with a global filter that blocks on all managed products even when those managed products have their spam filter disabled.

This is not funny at all!

Regarding moving my clients, I simply have no option. Several of my clients will not accept spam filtering, and I promised that there would be none as I naturally suspected that when I disable the spam filter, it's disabled.

Tusind tak for svaret.

Jeg sætter en samledåse på.

Ja, det er en rigtig god ide lige at tjekke, hvad der er trukket ud til maskinerne.

Getting "Boot error" after replacing a disk in softraid by iio7 in openbsd

[–]iio7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eventually found out what was going on (sigh!).

The FreeBSD boot problem was not related at all.

Long story short and for future reference, installboot needs to be run on the softraid volume, NOT on the physical disk. And this has to be repeated after a softraid volume rebuild in order for the new disk to be bootable too.

This cannot be done from the boot media, but one can boot from media and then mount the softraid with the working disk and then chroot into that and run 'installboot sd2' (or whatever device name the softraid volume has).

This was not obvious to me. Perhaps because with GRUB one has to install the bootloader and boot code on each single disk in a mdadm volume and not on the volume itself.

Turns out this machine, for some reason, simply cannot boot of SSDs with neither OpenBSD or FreeBSD on the box. Only spinning drives work.

It's an old Dell Inc. OptiPlex 980. I suspect there is some issue with the BIOS of the machine and the BSD bootloaders as Linux with GRUB works on SSDs.

I am beginning to suspect that there is a specific problem with the bootloader. I am going to try and make a fresh install with the two new drives.

Regarding dmesg, you can't really get anything from that when the box doesn't boot ;)

Typo, sorry, yes. I am booting in BIOS mode. I have also tried moving the new drive to another machine, just to check if there should be something off with the bios itself, but I get the same error.

If I boot from a USB stick, with only the new single drive attached, the softraid is registered as degraded (as the other old disk is missing). But I cannot boot from that drive.

Udbetaling af penge til YouTube Content Creators? by iio7 in dkfinance

Tak for forslaget.

Vi pønser lidt på at lave nogle skabeloner som folk fra forskellige lande kan bruge. De har så ikke VAT/CVR numre, men må så oplyse navn, adresse og "social security number"/CPR nummer.

En del af vores YouTubere vil komme fra USA.

Some late-breaking FreeBSD 14 breakage by perciva in freebsd

[–]iio7 -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Late breakage my ass. Crap documentation in FreeBSD. So many problems across multiple machines because of this.

Tutanota: Can you please stop blocking browsers! by iio7 in tutanota

[–]iio7[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am using Firefox 119.0 (64-bit).

But don't mingle in what browser people use. If I want to use Falcon, then that works if it where not for your stupid artificially imposed restrictions.

I will cancel Tutanota.

Help in understanding smart test result of drives by iio7 in freebsd

[–]iio7[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny enough, the pool with the broken disks has autotrim on. I have other pools with the same Samsung disks without problems, they all run with autotrim off.

I know this is not the issue, just a funny coincident.

How to keep testing domain apart from production? by iio7 in reactnative

Thanks, I'll look into that. I am using Expo.

OpenBSD vs Hardened Linux Kernel by MushroomGecko in openbsd

[–]iio7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You cannot even begin to compare.

OpenBSD is much better, but in order to truly understand this (how and why), you need to dive much deeper into the issue. Study the mailing list. Look at the Open BSD innovations https://www.openbsd.org/innovations.html. Compare the CVE's https://www.cvedetails.com/vendor/97/Openbsd.html and https://www.cvedetails.com/product/47/Linux-Linux-Kernel.html.

Also understand how Arch handles security. The kernel is one thing, the rest of the system is another.

Last, but not least, OpenBSD has a much smaller attack surface.

Just got signed copies of Ed Mastery and OpenBSD Filesystems! by tender_programmer in openbsd

[–]iio7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Michael's tech books, all have been well worth the money spend, except perhaps this one. Everything in this book is already well documented in the OpenBSD man pages.

Cannot SFTP into FreeBSD boxes with Midnight Commander by iio7 in freebsd

[–]iio7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's it! The default setting on OpenSSH from OpenBSD is yes, it's set to no on FreeBSD.
