Server

I have upgraded tarsier from 5.4-RC1 to 5.4-RELEASE right now. It goes smoothly.

Hey I know it makes the uptime go to 0, but it’s a sign of patching known issues, while they are not so serious :-)

I have set up a mirror for the major BSD software, especially DragonFly/Free/Open/NetBSD and KAME at my personal server, tarsier.delphij.net for about two weeks. Today I have annouced that on kernel@dfly and Liam Foy has added it to the official download list.

Some cvsweb and other related site is ongoing. I’m very pleased that I can support BSD related software, no matter joining their development, or providing mirrors for wider spread.

tarsier的配置如下：

Pentium 4 3.0E
1G RAM
250G ATA * 2

tarsier将是我的第一个非职务管理的、同时又使用了jail service的FreeBSD服务器。tarsier上将采用我所提出的fast jail技术。

回来就发现有些身体不适。

西单的新机房确实还不错，比老机房强多了，不过，唉，老了：（

I’ve finally decided to move out from cnftp as I can’t figure out when, what and why its configuration that can influence my site keeps changed from time to time. Everything pulled out, and the httpd configuration has been removed to reflect this without misleading people who has decent DNS records cached in their DNS mirrors.

Still don’t know why a simple upgrade will cause GB2312 to represent in UTF8 errornously. Maybe when I have time, but not now.

It seems that sater@ have deployed the necessary resources for ASP.net forum on Frontfree’s internal network. I have not read the code but I wish this a success.

经历了更换硬盘打击之后的beastie总算活过来了(/var由于这次操作彻底消失了)。由于软件版本升级太多，考虑到综合成本，我部署了PhantasmMail 3.0-beta。目前尚需解决sasl的验证问题。

From LI Dong: www.FreeBSD.org has been switched to FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE (well, this is not created yet, but it’s imminent).

继续和老黄学习中……

服务器基本上定在10月左右买了，这样从现在开始，我们有大约2个月的时间来做想做的事情，然后部署……

必须采取措施了。。。beastie.frontfree.net再次在没有任何预兆的情况下停止响应了。。。
