Perhaps it was your Megaraid controller doing a patrol read or
consistency check?

Re: Syntax error in pf rules

2016-03-29 Thread Letcher Ross
Per http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/macros.html

It looks like your list should look like:

vpnip = "{ 77.90.247.88, 112.119.192.26, 85.95.253.145, 31.210.111.78,
66.85.14.205, 54.201.110.154 }"

Re: Sorry OpenBSD people, been a bit busy

 Slander aside, pretty cool news. I do have one stupid question though,
 what does the 'yy' in yycix stand for?

  Hi, yeah, it is really me.  I find it strange posting to misc,
  starting an email thread.  Normally I finish the threads here.
 
  Most OpenBSD developers have known for a while, but I think it is
  important to tell the greater community that I've been a bit busy for
  about the last year.  I have not been paying as much attention to
  OpenBSD development as I'm expected to.  Luckily, other developers
  have done a great job keeping it on track.
 
  Why?  With a group of others, I started setting up an Internet
  Exchange in Calgary, and this has taken much time because it is highly
  politicized and has encountered some resistance.
 
  http://yycix.ca
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YYCIX_Internet_Exchange_Community_Ltd
 
  Now, why do I mention this in relation to OpenBSD?  Well, at the end
  of 2007 someone decided to open an impersonation account on twitter in
  my name, and start sending a mix of things I have said (see wikiquote
  for instance), with things that I would never say.  That account is
  http://twitter.com/theoderaadt
 
  A few notes:  The account has now changed to declare that it is a
  parody account and renamed to Not Theo de Raadt, as of a few days
  ago.  If you read back into the past, you will see true character of
  the account and the individual.
 
  People in the local community were directed to the account, to give a
  negative, if not slanderous, view of my character.  The ones directing
  them have high-profile roles in the community, so people would take
  what they say as true.  Since I am the network manager for the
  exchange equipment, this by extension was meant to hurt YYCIX.
 
  Why would stewards of important infrastructure projects deliberately
  spread such false stories?
 
  I will not mention names.  I don't need to; many can dig a little and
  figure out who those actors are.  As a hint, search a little bit
  higher.
 
  Finally, one thing that particularily bothers me in the old postings
  is the mention of my old friend Itojun, a very dedicated developer of
  IPv6.  As many of you know, he and John Postel are the only two
  internet architects currently honoured on an annual basis by the
  Internet Society in the form of an award.

  Layers of hurt being thrown around.  Why?


YYC is the IATA code for Calgary airport.

 I have my eye on the Asus Sabertooth Z87, but I see that it talks of
  uefi.  What I do not yet see, is whether the system can boot in a non-
  uefi mode or not.  Given that the motherboard is at least a little OS
  agnostic, I have some hope that it will work.
 
 But I don't know, and in general I think it might be worth talking of
  strategies for motherboard selection given the size of the marketplace.
  I wonder if this might make a new section
 
 Thoughts?

 Hint:
 The specs [1] say it supports Windows 7. Windows 7 is BIOS-only
 (non-UEFI), so that means the mobo supports booting legacy BIOS.
