    @obj thanks. <https://bsdsec.net/tags/freebsd> nits: ― 'Security Advisories' is the wrong generic heading for an array that includes errata notices― a quarterly status report is neither an SA nor an EN. #FreeBSD #security #errata

    Hey #FreeBSD folks!Ten years ago, disk ID labels (/dev/diskid) were often painfully encoded.Today, my WD drives show up cleanly. Is that just a WD thing? Do other vendors show up as encoded crud?If you could look in /dev/diskid and see what you have, I'd appreciate it.(diskID is disabled in 15, you'd need to uncomment kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable="0" in /boot/loader.conf)TLDR: can I now recommend diskID labels as reasonable, or am I just lucky in my hard drives? #sysadmin

    Under the hood update!I’ve finally retired the old cron + sh setup for the weather bots. It served us well, but it had a major flaw: if I rebooted the server while it was posting, the job just died halfway. If the server was down during a scheduled slot, the forecast was lost forever.So, I wrote a custom Python daemon to run inside the FreeBSD Jails.It’s stateful now. If a crash happens at city 15 of 50, it resumes exactly there on reboot.If the server naps/is rebooting during a scheduled run, the bot realizes it missed a slot and runs immediately upon waking up.#FediMeteo #SysAdmin #Python #FreeBSD #Coding #SelfHosted #OwnYourData #StayTuned
