delphij's Chaos

本着「如果没有就写，如果有不合用就改，有合用的能用打死也不写」的精神，终于决定给 www.delphij.net 加个留言板……因为是双语的，而且www.delphij.net是英文，因此这里也写段英文来照顾老外的情绪：

Where I am?

Excerpt from diary 2004/04/18

我不知道自己是不是一个坚强的人，因为并不是每件事我都能够坚持不懈地做到底，我也会放弃，我也会做错，我只是在许多时候坚持了自己的信念，我只是在别人放弃的时候能够坚持下去，尽管这么做不一定对。

This is an experimental release which tend to exhibit the latest -CURRENT technologies, maintaining stablity and incorporating my improvements which has not been integrated into FreeBSD’s central repository.

FreeBSD and OpenBSD’s inetd are based on a same codebase. However, they have different features and OpenBSD have some features that FreeBSD is lacking at present. For example, per-interface binding, etc.

It seems that they are now replacing explicit XFree86-4-libraries to USE_XLIB and so. Is this a step dropping XFree86 and go XOrg? :-)

I don’t like lawyer much, however, we all have to respect law :-) Apple has released some of their code under a license called “APSL”, what’s that? To quote Robert Watson, a FreeBSD core team member, APSL was considered as something like GPL/LGPL, which is acceptable for standard-alone userspace tools, however, should be taken carefully on kernel aspect.

It seems that FreeBSD community has reviewed and committed one of my bigger patch on sbin/syslogd, which was primarily obtained from OpenBSD. These changes are more or less “sync with OpenBSD”, which will increase security performance of FreeBSD.

自从01年dillon commit之后一直就用着MAXUSERS 0。今天alu提到说MAXUSERS不合适的时候有可能会造成系统负荷能力下降，于是看了代码，发现MAXUSERS是根据内存大小算出来的，32-512之间。另外，实践证明MAXUSERS看来不能设置为2048(起不来)……

看过车东的一些文章，感觉很受启发。这篇提到了关于知识管理的一些想法，我自己以前也想过一些这方面的问题，但是一直没有时间来整理出来，在这里暂且先记下来吧。
