The FreshPorts server died on Friday night. I drove up on Sunday morning to retrieve it. I have not yet investigated the breakage. It might be the M/B. It was suggested on IRC that replace instead of repair might be a better approach. The existing X8DTU m/b has some unresolved IPMI vulnerability issues. A newer […]
This is more for my own sanity for the next time I deploy a new FreshPorts host. There is no useful information here for anyone else.

This idea came to me today from swills: stupid question, would it be possible to make the urls on freshports case insensitive? so that like https://www.freshports.org/x11/libx11 would go to https://www.freshports.org/x11/libX11 After confirming this was for manually typed URLs (as opposed to generated links), I started looking into it. This is what I found. In this
