In under 10 minutes, I built a very small, authoritative DNS server. It is not large as it handles only about 80 domains and does not offer recursive services. This is the smallest instance available from Google: 1 vCPU core 600 MiB RAM 10 GiB persistent storage (boot disk) I estimate my price per month to run this dedicated DNS server at […]
Simple steps to have a FreeBSD use our local repository for updating and installing both source and ports packages.
I posted a entry in my official ipHouse blog about upgrading mirrors.geeks.org.

This morning we had an outage and while I did what I could to describe it via text, I can’t seem to come to grips with three unrelated issues occurring together creating so many pages. Why? Our network is segmented/separated by multiple physical segments and these unrelated incidents should not affect the other. This graphic representation isn’t necessarily 100% accurate […]

But… Updates are kind of a chore, there is no such thing as true incremental updates, you either do patch updates against RELEASE, or you do world updates against STABLE. I am a STABLE kind of admin so my updates […]
