Using self-hosted URL shortener YOURLS
20-Jan-10While setting this up, I noticed that there’s an option for a self-hosted URL shortener called YOURLS. This thing rocks! It shortens URL’s, collects statistics, and allows custom shortened URL’s.
Using the port sysutils/zfs-snapshot-mgmt. The make is taking a while, because it had to pull in Ruby. Luckily, my new FreeBSD machine has a whopping 160 GB hard drive. No worries. However, I wonder if I should’ve used the alternative. Just didn’t want to install something that doesn’t register with the FreeBSD packages/ports. Initially left […]
Sharing Samba shares between users
19-Jan-10As far as the UNIX groups, etc., I created a UNIX group called [cci]Users[/cci] to house the entire family.

Then, I had a problem with .ICEauthority. Apparently, it used to be in , but is now in . The thing to […]
Update 8 AM This post on xwin-discuss explains the changes that caused this failure in xorg startup. Original Post OK. So, it seemed like a lot of stuff was missing. So, I tried to un-install and re-install the corresponding Xorg packages. I did a: When I tried to reinstall these packages, I got: The way […]
As I said in my previous post OpenSolaris image-update from 2009.06 to dev b130, I was worried that Xorg wouldn’t start up after I upgraded to b130. That’s exactly what happened: no Xorg. Luckily, there was an Xorg.log.0 (in /var/logs): Basically, a lot of stuff is missing from . I tried doing a , but […]
