FreeBSD has had many kernel upgrades, why have you decided not to upgrade? What version of FreeBSD is that 7.x?

webwit · 28 Dec 2012, 22:09

Yes.
Because if it ain't broke...

Because it is broke, my guess a 7.x kernel that hasn't been patched in 4 years will have security vulnerabilities.

webwit · 28 Dec 2012, 22:16

It has all the security updates, none of which required rebooting.

The entire datacenter where GH is tucked-away has disappeared from the Internet. As far as we know, GH is humming along happily, if a bit lonely.

Just when I got 3 Geekhack keys from SP (Grab bags yay!)

The DC is back. GH was waiting.

Not actually down but a bit unwilling:

I wonder how long it takes until they approve my good-will-Round3-replacement thread.

On a side-note: I really adore their "the late 70s are not over yet" brown/orange/beige style.

We should consider something in that direction along with the next PHP upgrade!

Approved.

Well, if you find yourself getting uncomfortable with liking it you can try the Nostalgia theme to bring back all of your fond memories.

OK, thanks!

Frustration at a few hours delay on a GB spanning 4 years

7bit · 17 Jan 2013, 18:38

You see! It is not my fault! All the delay is caused by others!

Also, it is only 2 years and a bit.

Soarer · 17 Jan 2013, 18:44

Hmm. A bit == 4 months. So 28 months == ...

7bit · 17 Jan 2013, 19:20

Only 0.023 centuries.

Does it mean I will finally receive my Caps Lock/Control keys for Cherry Keyboards

I can't believe that.
