Direct from sources.

I compile my own PHP from source as I can run several versions of PHP on same server due to some web apps being dependent on older version.

Let me clarify that I'm not speaking about Linux kernel developers which I'm sure they're excellent developers. I talking about the Linux distros developing, packing and compiling apps for Linux which often breaks. In a sense it's more of a distros' fault for not doing a good job.

That's good to know FreeBSD developer was able to debug it. But still I don't have much faith in Linux developer's coding practice as majority of them like to rush things.

Exactly. That tells you the quality of Linux developer's coding. FreeBSD developer was able to catch it but how many more are not caught? It only takes one bug to destroy the entire dataset if Linux developers don't take the time to test and audit the updated codes. I don't want to criticize...

That's why I prefer using macOS on my computer and FreeBSD for my server. I've had trouble keeping FreeBSD stable when using it as a desktop, mainly due to issues with package updates and the numerous packages it uses, which sometimes cause things to break. I switched from Microsoft Windows a...

Solaris Zone management doesn't need additional software to create zones, similar to FreeBSD jails. However, Solaris zones offer better containment and security because they don't share system resources with other zones. In contrast, FreeBSD jails, while improved with VNET, may face challenges...

I completely agree with you. I used to have OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana servers and their zone management and zfs are quite superior. However, it lacks software support which often times I have to compile from source code. When Oracle decided to end OpenSolaris and many original developers left...

Yeah and I don't agree with what Apple is doing with macOS right now by making it more like iOS which I hate. They're locking down macOS making it more difficult for developers and users to have positive experiences.

Apple is doing it much much more drastic by eliminating support for older macs that are 5+ years old and they also killed 32 bit support not long ago. They do it to keep macOS streamlined rather being bloated with legacy codes and hardware drivers which they have to test it every time before...

I installed unbound and it still doesn't work. I was able to dig and it returns the information correctly but postfix don't see it. I guess it needs BIND as authoritative service. Anyway, I found another solution... IPv6 and it works! I will attempt to revisit the unbound/postfix issue at a...

Looks like I will have to setup Authoritative DNS such as unbound or BIND9 on my server to resolve local IP addresses and reverse DNS lookups and hope that will resolve the 20 seconds delay.

Already did this and 20 seconds delay is still present. I've spent 2 days reading posts about this problem and there's no easy solution. The only thing I can think is setting up a 2nd instance of postfix for port 2525 with no filtering rules or find a really simple smtp server to listen on...

Okay. I put a verbose for port 2525 in master.cf. Here's the log and I'm not sure if this provide any clue where I should be looking? I see there is 20 seconds delay. Jan 28 02:39:00 mail postfix/smtpd[84646]: connect from vps01.acme.com[192.168.8.6] Jan 28 02:39:00 mail...

This is what I have for port 2525 in /usr/local/etc/postfix/master.cf so no filtering rules will apply unless if I'm missing something that could cause the delay? I don't want to mess with the configurations for port 25, 465, 587 or other ports as it's for external mail services. I don't know...

That's what I thought but I added the addresses in /etc/hosts and Postfix's /usr/local/etc/postfix/helo_access and disabled helo for 2525 as it's not needed for internal emails.

I've developed a mail servlet application using the Jakarta Mail API. When sending emails between jails on my production server using internal IP addresses, the process is extremely slow, taking around 30 seconds to a minute. I've tried using both port 587 for external communication and port...

I use Microsoft Sidewinder X4 keyboard. I've tried many different, even expensive, keyboards and kept coming back to this. I even use it for my hackintosh and I'm software engineer. Very sturdy and works since 2010.

I ran RBBS and eventually PC-Board in the late 80's and early 90's.

I already tried that. It won't start. The previous updated version of seahub worked before.
