Dan LangillePost incident, here's the #FreshPorts bump at midnight (UTC) mentioned in a recent previous post. It may not seem like much...
Looking back, it seems 0000 and 1200 are favored times.
More on #FreshPorts vs restrictions on search, etc.
Last night, I received a CPU alert regarding the database server.
I logged in and restricted search to logged-in users.
[13:15 aws-1 dvl ~] % sudo grep 'joe' /var/log/auth.log.1
May 4 00:57:46 aws-1 sudo[37761]: dvl : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/usr/home/dvl ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/local/bin/joe /jails/nginx01/usr/local/etc/freshports/constants.local.php
This change means anyone not logged into FreshPorts with their FreshPorts account will get a 401 for any search.
This morning, the graph for Nginx requests graph looks like this.
Search was enabled again at May 4 13:14:37
Tobias BölzBecause #FreshPorts' search is now limited to logged in users, I hacked together an alternative: https://tmb.codeberg.page/portssearch/
gyptazyI slightly updated my website which is based on my nerdy #manpageblog engine.
I recently added several #SEO improvements and made some smaller changes to the design to make it more readable but also slightly more modern. I'm not sure if this isn't already too fancy again where it should focus on simplicity and alignment with traditional manpages.

Do you happen to know what make target builds the SUB_FILES, e.g. files/pkg-message.in?
I've found this bit: https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/Mk/bsd.port.mk#n4600
My goal, build pkg-message without building the port.
It is so very satisfying to see a FreshPorts commit processing queue quickly fill up when it comes back online after being down (for modification in this case).
case in point:

Graham Perrin<https://www.freshports.org/textproc/py-pdftotext/#pkg-plist> "There is no configure plist information for this port."
I wonder why.
There's probably a generic explanation, not specific to this port. If so, maybe I can add something to <https://www.freshports.org/faq.php> …

Turbulent times.
It was necessary to explain that the three cookies on the baking tray are not collecting personal data.

Postscript: https://www.reddit.com/comments/1l6atsf/respect/mwolp77/ ends the turbulence. Still, I do like the idea that Tux cookies might have collected data about what's in the oven.
