2008-05-19 CVS hates you!
I just saw the following error from a cvs debugging session:
write(1, "I HATE YOUn", 11I HATE YOU
I always knew that CVS is strange, but not SO strange!
2006-07-30 switched to git
Finally, I switched most of my important stuff (right now configurations and my portfiles archive) to git.
2006-03-08 Apache2 sucks sometimes
Sometimes Apache2 really sucks. Maybe thats mostly related to running really many instances. The problem I encountered was quite simple, mod_digest_auth seems to get some bytes of data from /dev/random until its empty, and then the next instance of Apache2 trying to get data from /dev/random hangs (because of an empty /dev/random). My fix for this is quite simple, just use a small program, to have /dev/random exchanged to /dev/urandom. (via LD_PRELOAD, so other programs won't suffer)
The source for this LD_PRELOAD fix.
