Pkgng to the rescue

By Florent Thoumie On June 6, 2012 · 4 Comments · In FreeBSD, PkgNG
It’s been a while since I’ve written anything in here so I’ll try to remember how things work… A few weeks, like a lot of people, I ordered a RaspberryPi to use as a mediacenter. Unfortunately it still hasn’t arrived and I got tired of my good old xbox that’s starting to be quite limiting [...]

Moving on…

On December 3, 2010 By Florent Thoumie
After nearly 5 years, I’m finishing today my employment at BT Ireland. I couldn’t be more thankful to the people who gave me the opportunity to join the ISP Systems team (you know who you are Dave ) I’ve had a lot of fun, met a lot of nice people and learnt a lot but [...]

On November 19, 2010 By Florent Thoumie
I’ve just finished the migration of WordPress-MU and ReviewBoard over to the new VM (hosted by Your.org). Let me know if you notice anything that’s broken. Thanks to Kevin Day for creating the VM!

Cisco CSS and Tacacs+

On October 20, 2010 By Florent Thoumie
Long time no blog, I figured I could write something useful for a change. I noticed a while ago that my /var/log/daemon.log was getting filled by warnings like these: Oct 20 16:07:12 entropy01 tac_plus[1301]: connect from x.x.x.x [x.x.x.x] Oct 20 16:07:12 entropy01 tac_plus[1301]: x.x.x.x: exception on fd 2 Oct 20 16:07:12 entropy01 tac_plus[1301]: Read -1 [...]

PC-BSD Install backend committed to SVN

On June 25, 2010 By Florent Thoumie
I had a nice surprise reading my Facebook timeline this morning: Matt Olander announcing that Warner Losh committed the PC-BSD installer backend to the FreeBSD SVN repository. I didn’t know anything about it before BSDCan this year, so here’s a quick summary of what I remember (and is of interest, to me at [...]

BSDCan 2010 Report

On May 29, 2010 By Florent Thoumie
First I’d like to start this post by thanking the FreeBSD Foundation for funding my trip. I’ve been contemplating attending BSDCan for years and without their financial support I would have missed it this year again. I’ve been a FreeBSD ports committer since 2006. In 2007, my commit privileges were extended to [...]

BSDCan and Planet FreeBSD TLC

On May 13, 2010 By Florent Thoumie
I’ve had the chance to attend BSDCan this year (thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation) and while Day 0 had been packed full of fail (some of it being caused by a lack of preparation, some was out of my control), the following days definitely made up for it. I’ll write a proper summary when I [...]
