Years of conditional GET code at FreshPorts, and no browser ever got a 304. Missing quotes. Fixed, and the cached pages now say "not modified" when nothing changed. Also new: FreshPorts in Russian, thanks to Vladlen Popolitov. news.freshports.org/2026/10/…

The website is in maintenance mode. I’ll come back online when the PHP patches are ready to install.

Earlier this month a botnet found its way through the FreshPorts search page and kept the production database at 100% CPU. This post looks at what the subsequent changes did to page speed, as measured by FreshPorts itself. news.freshports.org/2026/10/…

This was where much of the i8ln work was done today. I was waiting for runners. I was the driver.

I’m seeing FreshPorts is down. I’ll fix it when I’m back from dinner.

On a development host (not publicly available), commit precision has resumed. It is not a difficult process. It requires time to think and plan. Once that node is caught up, I’ll review and proceed.

I am making progress on getting FreshPorts processing commits again. Progress is stalled because of weather. Rain & thunderstorms are forecast for Monday afternoon. That’s my next target
