Thanks to Kevin Day for creating the VM!

PS: If you can’t reach either of blogs.freebsdish.org or reviews.freebsdish.org, then the old CNAME haven’t expired yet (TTL was set to 8 hours). Try again later.

The service will be down from about 10am to 5pm GMT (worse case scenario).

The server was back up a few days ago but the issues I’ve been experiencing since early december were still present. The load on the box was insanely high all the time for very little traffic.

I’ve finally managed to find what was causing it and it seems to be working properly again (as in, requesting the front page doesn’t take 30 seconds amymore). While I was at it, I upgraded WordPress-MU to the freshly released 2.9.1 (video embedding is now dead easy, there’s a integrated picture editor, ...).

Again, sorry for the inconvenience. Happy reading!

A few users probably won’t be happy that the “complete” version is going away. I don’t have plans for it at the moment. If you think something else is missing, leave a comment.

If you’re meant to be listed on blogs.freebsdish.org but you’re not, then drop me an email or leave a comment and I’ll (re-)add you.
If you’re in the list but don’t put your posts in the FreeBSD category, then they won’t be aggregated.

It seems to be doing everything I did with Planet, and has a few features (shared admin rights through wordpress accounts, mark new posts as pending instead of publishing them straight away) that could prove useful if I want to poke core@ about planet.freebsd.org once again.

Anyway, check it out.

Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]> Following Murray’s suggestion to use feedburner to track Planet FreeBSD subscribers, I’ve created feeds and added badges to Planet FreeBSD frontpages. So far it still shows 0 subscribers but I’ve done the necessary tweaking to point the rss/atom feeds to the new one. I hope the readers will be smart enough to notice the rss to atom change. We’ll see how it works out.

I’ve also removed the rss10/opml/foaf feeds as they seem to be mostly requested by crawlers. If you’re using it and can give a reasonable reason why you can’t use atom, drop me an email.

Most importantly, it’s there.

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 is misbehaving.
