Hello,
I tell people they shouldn't be posting to tech@ without a diff,
so ... I'm announcing this "diff", which will "applied" July 17
at around 7:00am EDT, and hopefully will be reverted by 7:00pm.

A problem I see: It's often hard to submit a dmesg.
These days, sending e-mail from an arbitrary machine is "difficult",
as it usually requires use of an e-mail relay. Gathering and sending
a dmesg via many common e-mail clients often ends up mangling the
dmesg in various ways.

The following servers will likely be inaccessible at times or
completely, April 14, from 7am to 8pm Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4)

In version 1.78 of /etc/daily, the -i flag was added to the df output.
Apparently, some people run out of inodes.
I only seem to run out of disk space, and too often, my eye skims
the daily report from a machine, looks at the last column,sees a

Due to facilities maintenance, the following resources will be
unavailable from somewhere around Jan 3 8:30pm EST until Jan 7 8:30am EST:
* openbsd.cs.toronto,edu
* obsdacvs.cs.toronto.edu
* man.openbsd.org
* cvsweb.openbsd.org
Thanks for your patience!

I found that the current man pages and example file for acme-client
are confusing and leave one with an imperfect certificate setup, with
the intermediate certs missing. Doesn't generate an error on
OpenBSD, but does on some other OSs. So I propose these changes to
the example file and man pages:

Hi.
Due to a infrastructure upgrade, power to the mirror and other systems
at University of Toronto, will be interrupted sometime Thursday, after
9:30pm Toronto time (EDT -- UTC-4), and should be restored Friday by
7:30am EDT.
This will impact:
* openbsd.cs.toronto.edu
* obsdacvs.cs.toronto.edu
*
tl;dr version: openbsd.cs.toronto.edu anoncvs and cvsync users need to
start using anon...@obsdacvs.cs.toronto.edu and
cvsync://obsdacvs.cs.toronto.edu instead.

The University will be doing some power systems maintenance this week
