The first thing migrated to the new server was popsicle.easymac.org. It used to be an old P4 machine with no RAM, and some crappy amount of storage, and it’s now something nice!
Everyone who is a user on popsicle should check that everything they had going before is still going! If not, you know who to [...]
A while back, I had a random interest to see if FreeBSD could be used as an iSCSI target. Since FreeNAS could do it, I figured the ability would be built into FreeBSD, but I was wrong. After a bit of Googling, I found that somebody ported the OpenBSD version of iscsi-target over to FreeBSD.

Buildworld Benchmark: My New Server Continued.
The same benchmark as previously done was redone with the ULE Scheduler. The results were quite odd, as the times were actually slightly higher than recorded without the ULE Scheduler.
This leads me to believe that I probably screwed up somewhere, but I just don’t want to spend more [...]

This chart shows build times vs. j-levels in FreeBSD when running buildworlds. The [...]
