Did quite some maintenance on burningboard.net Mastodon instance today ..

Updated servers and jails to FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p5  

1.
proxy_cache_path (S3 media cache) was already on a ZFS dataset with autosnapshot disabled .. But proxy_temp_path and client_body_temp_path (both nginx temp folders) weren't. Leading to extremely bloated daily ZFS snapshots for the Nginx jail. Changed those and cleaned old snapshots -> 31GB reclaimed space

2.
Cleaned up Database Snapshots and did a pg_repack on prod to reclaim deleted database pages -> 3GB reclaimed space

3.
Fixed issue with backend path over gif tunnel to Elasticsearch (6in6). Turned out to be a MSS issue (clamp-mss to 1140 on the tunnel iface solved it!)

4.
Fixed IPv6 routing issue for Prometheus Monitoring after reboot (rc.d static_routes != ipv6_static_routes)

All in all, our instance is in very good shape again :-)

Easter test weekend, initial findings. 😎

 On Fedora 44 Beta GNOME Edition, the file manager crashes every time I try to access my NAS. There are also frequent freezes with apps that weren’t included by default and were installed later.

 Ubuntu 26.04 LTS also comes with GNOME 50, and unlike Fedora, it already includes kernel 7.0, which is great—especially for the latest hardware. This beta also seems to run more smoothly and stably than Fedora’s beta.

However, it’s impossible to install or get Flatpaks to work, even though I installed the feature myself.

It was also absolutely impossible to install the Nextcloud client, neither as a Snap nor as a Flatpak. I couldn’t get AppImage to start, even after making it executable.

Nevertheless, both distributions already make a great impression and leave me wanting more as soon as they become stable. Ubuntu, in particular, has positively surprised me after many years; major strides have been made, whereas with Fedora, hardly any major changes are noticeable—they’re more under the hood. 👍

I'm aware of these scans of old Unix magazines at the Internet Archive. Any others?

Does computer #history interest you, or maybe you're just curious where well-known and well-used tools come from? I've just updated the History of #Unix #Manpages, https://manpages.bsd.lv/history.html, with the content you didn't know you wanted til this very moment. Learn about how the "man" program came to be, and just why are manpages styled like that? It includes snippets from Cynthia "Cindy" Livingston, who wrote the manpage language "mdoc"; John Eaton, who wrote the first GPL man tool; Doug McIlroy, who helped to divide manpages into sections; and more. Did you know that serving manpages online was part of one of the original http daemons? Or that an xman existed before X11R6, in X10? Enjoy!

Wusstest du, dass `grep` seinen Namen vom ed-Befehl `g/re/p` hat? ("global regular expression print") 🤓

Also quasi: jemand war zu faul zum Tippen und hat versehentlich eines der meistgenutzten Unix-Tools erfunden.

Faulheit als Innovationsmotor seit 1973. 🐧
