No longer using Twitter after the children took over. You can find me over at https://t.co/5dDBQkwmHg
Joined April 2009
Well Twitter, it's been a fun 13 years, but I have no interest in being on a network run by children. It's only ever going to end badly. I'll be over on https://t.co/AbLwvqNzAw if you happen to enjoy pkgsrc/illumos content.

Seriously unimpressed with @Fly_Norwegian. 5 weeks since the UK ATC failure and still no refund on my rebooked flights, and still no communication from them at all. Really disappointing, as I've flown with them a number of times, and until now thought they were a good airline.

This turned out to be due to Content Caching from another Mac, which is clearly another feature that doesn't get any testing. Turning off Content Caching fixes the problem. Won't be using that feature again!

Uh, ok. So now what happens? Guess I'll be installing git from pkgsrc to get some work done today then.

Well that's not great Ventura: xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun No upgrade available in Software Update. You have to manually "xcode-select --install" to fix.

Will be up for review when I'm happy with it, but if you want an early preview and would like to help me test it then it's at https://t.co/ArhqTnGyzL Will need a _lot_ of testing as I touched a _lot_ of code ;-)

Have been working on @pkgsrc performance again, this time general speedup of the pkgsrc/mk/ infrastructure so that all packages benefit. Testing with pkgtools/url2pkg (short build time so shows up infrastructure performance): Baseline: 12.48 seconds Perf branch: 5.77 seconds

A very enjoyable day out at the @copse_croydon Gatliff 50km yesterday, first time at the event but won't be the last! Unmarked route, had to follow turn-by-turn instructions. Many thanks to all the volunteers! Next up, Hurtwood 50k in 7 weeks, hoping to go sub-6.

If you previously installed a macOS package repository from https://t.co/YloZKrCsKe, please follow the upgrade instructions to switch over to https://t.co/nc2hC7QZQc here: https://t.co/FGJRRurF7O The old repository, as well as the Mojave package set, will no longer be updated.

If you run a lot of Rosetta apps on your ARM macOS, say running an x86 bulk build, be aware that /var/db/oah (managed by the undocumented oahd) will grow unbounded until your file system fills. Thankfully killing oahd and deleting the directory appears unharmful, but takes ages.

Building my own distribution based on Slackware and handling the libc5 -> glibc transition taught me a huge amount. Miss the days of being able to understand how an entire distribution worked and, even as a teenager, being able to approach it like Lego and build it how you want.

If anyone on Apple Silicon wants an early switch to the new package repo: Grab https://t.co/LW1q3Nqtf0 Unpack over / pkg_add -U pkgin libarchive openssl pkgin clean pkgin upgrade Worked great on my local install. Full instructions will follow when the Intel binaries are ready.

Sweet, now that Apple have fixed native arm64 chroots, I have a Mac Studio performing simultaneous pkgsrc builds for both arm64 and x86_64. Also using a patch I recently committed to build against a specific SDK, so there will shortly be new binary packages available for 11.3+.

Bit later than planned, but this is now done. If you are seeing any errors from your package updates, first check that you followed the upgrade instructions if using an affected repository, otherwise let me know of any issues.
Later this week https://t.co/YloZKrCsKe will be CNAME'd to https://t.co/nc2hC7QZQc. If you haven't already switched your repositories over I strongly recommend doing so as soon as possible. https://t.co/ikloAzuGjH See quoted tweet for instructions on switching over.

Fair play to Apple's OS folks, I give them stick for breaking things a lot, but it looks like they've finally fixed being able to create arm64 chroots. I'll no longer need to effectively cross-compile pkgsrc packages inside an x86_64 chroot. https://t.co/L49wqIbySE
Well, I _was_ looking forward to finally producing Apple Silicon binaries for pkgsrc, but then @Apple went and did their usual trick of breaking everything: mini$ chroot /chroot arch Segmentation fault: 11 mini$ arch -x86_64 chroot /chroot arch i386 Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

VNC into macOS Monterey, if the screen saver comes on, there's no way to turn it off! No amount of mashing the mouse or keyboard or even killing ScreenSaverEngine over SSH works. I tried killing the session entirely (only non-root PIDs), and that crashed the machine...

Getting frustrated with TeX Live taking nearly 3 hours just to run install scripts at the end of a pkgsrc bulk build, due to generating internal databases that scales quadratically. Would appreciate any clues from people who know TeX and how to mitigate. https://t.co/9IhXG6C83t

The first package sets have migrated from Joyent to MNX! Anyone running SmartOS/illumos trunk packages should have a read through my email to find out how to switch over. https://t.co/D7t0E8lvxW As always, let me know ASAP if you hit any issues.
