I’ve finally swapped the old PowerEdge 2550 with a (less) old PowerEdge 2660. It sports a Bi-Xeon 3GHz AFAIK which should be more than enough for what it’s currently doing.

WordPress-MU and Planet were unavailable for a short as I replaced Apache with Lighttpd. I think everything is back on, drop me an email if something [...]

I updated wordpress-mu to 1.3.0 on blogs.freebsdish.org.

Most noticeable is that people can now leave comments using their OpenID. I’ve also replaced SpamKarma with Bad-Behavior and added a bunch of plugins that people can activate themselves. Have fun!

I just finished installing wpg2 which is a WordPress plugin to embed Gallery2. Seems to be working just fine. I just had some difficulties to find the right theme (Siriux) that would work with K2.

Now I need to upload more pictures because the gallery is a bit empty at the moment.

I just upgraded bsdblogs.droso.org to WordPressMU 1.0.rc4. So far, I haven’t seen any regressions and SpamKarma2 seems to be working fine now (which is quite cool since I’ve heard about committers getting spam on their blogs).

Now that bsdblogs is being much more stable than ever before, I think we can add some shiny plugins. I’ve [...]

I’ve been using it for some days now, and no spam showed up, comment or trackback. I received a digest with all rejected comments, just to make sure there are no false [...]

Ok, so it seems everything worked fine with the first plugin I installed some weeks ago and suddenly I started getting approximatively 10 spams a day.

I was about to set a CAPTCHA plugin when I noticed they weren’t real comments, but trackbacks instead, so I went to wp-plugins.net and found a plugin to prevent trackback-spam. [...]

I’ve been a bit bothered by various spams I’ve receive these last few weeks on my blog so I finally decided to do something.

Usually, you’ll see people using CAPTCHA plugins that requires you to type some letters/numbers or perform a simple operation. While this isn’t so annoying, I wanted to test something that doesn’t require [...]

Some minutes ago, I noticed that Typo used 80% of my CPU when it had to generate a new page so I decided to migrate to WordPress.

As it is advertised on the website, the installation doesn’t take more than five minutes. I just had to import old entries from Typo and I was done.

Now it’s [...]
