Found this 4GB IDE drive in a desktop being recycled from a relative’s home. PSU fires up but screen remains blank. I may have to resort to destruction to dispose of this. Usually I just dd over the drive. That’s enough for this use case.

Hoping to get this trim primed & installed today. Perhaps painted tomorrow.

Perhaps it is time to trim some of those old boot environments on this #FreeBSD 14.2 server?

I was given three of these today. I’ll reveal them after BSDCan.

What a bot swarm (for a lack of a better term) looks like. Web traffic coming into dev/test/stage freshports[.]org. robots.txt says do not index. Requests were (for the most part) each from a different IP address. Mainly on high cost URLs which cannot cache (e.g. search).

So I did a thing...

Not sure it's a good thing.

403 pounds of fun. This will be the rain barrel platform.

I changed some stuff on some websites to reduce the bots.

I think you can all see when I did that.

I found my use-case for power banks other than a electricity outage.

Powering my laptop when I have neglected to charge it up.

I suppose it is an electricity outage, just extremely localized to this outdoor area.
