> I just wish [pf] were more actively maintained and kept at least vaguely in-sync with upstream. As much as I would love to have the newest OpenBSD pf config syntax available in FreeBSD I do appre…

Many of them are supported by multimedia/webcamd, though the name is kind of unintuitive for it :p

I've tried it on my 2012 Retina MBP and hit a bug pretty much immediately that renders it unusable, and it unfortunately isn't fixed for the release: https://bugs.freebsd.org/…

They already do that. Right now I'm running 10.0-RELEASE-p12. See the UPDATING file for the 10.0 branch for example: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/releng/10.0/UPD…

I'm familiar with the AWS images but at the time I was looking for hosting Amazon charged more for running HVM than for PV images. I can't find anything about that now on their instance type…

FreeBSD won me over about 12 years ago when I was looking for a stable OS for a small dynamic DNS home server. OpenBSD kernel panicked on my AMD K6-2 machine, and I'd just been screwed by a Mandr…

It's not mentioned by name on this page but the HDTV standard in question bears little resemblance to any in use today. Hi-Vision (hence the Hi-) was an analog 1125-line HD standard. There were M…

Guitar Hero 3 and on were Neversoft/Beenox titles. Harmonix went on from GH1/GH2/80s to the Rock Band series, also a personal favourite of mine.

Nintendo's home consoles have always been region-locked, via intentional hardware differences on the NES/Famicom, SNES, and n64, and via software means on everything newer. The Game Boy line and origi…

Isn't OStatus exactly this, or does it fail one of his criteria?

They're most likely referring to the spill and fires set by Iraq in 1991: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_War_oil_spill http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuwaiti_oil_fires …

I use µMurmur from the OpenWRT project.

NavDroyd is an offline turn-by-turn navigation app.

I've a little how-to written up for putting together a nice FreeBSD desktop system. You may want to check it out: http://cooltrainer.org/2012/01/02/a-freebsd-9-desktop-how-to... FreeBSD has been my …

The Game Boy can address a maximum of 4 megabits of ROM: http://fms.komkon.org/GameBoy/Tech/Software.html Quite a far cry from the gigabytes of Wikipedia data you get with this, I'm afraid.…

Agreed, but I mostly use K9-Mail and Thunderbird via IMAP. Roundcube is ok for quick access from a random computer.

I went back to hosting my own email and chat on VPS. Check out iRedMail for a nice easily-configured FOSS mail package and ejabberd for a nice XMPP server. XMPP federates with google talk, so I can st…

Can you propose an alternative? I'm considering converting my blog to a static site with Octopress/Jekyll and need a commenting mechanism. I dislike Disqus as a user, but I know of no self-hosted alte…

I'm not sure why this is phrased as iPhone vs Android like there aren't 3.5" Android devices. I own one, in fact, and chose it over the larger Samsung phones for the same reason. It's nice how the And…

I can second Nearlyfreespeech. They've been great as my registrar and DNS host for years. I host on http://prgmr.com VPS.

If it's anything like the existing JTAG SMC hack, it will be detectable by Live, and modded consoles will be banned automatically in under an hour. Despite this, determined cheaters buy expensive KeyV…
