This is exciting: Tahoe-LAFS (Wikipedia: Tahoe-LAFS) is a secure, decentralized, data store. Or a P2P filesystem that lets you use the cloud without trusting it. Allmydata.org calls it the first cloud storage system with provider-independent security.

Quick tip: cups - web admin - localhost works, hostname doesn't

In cups if http://localhost:631/ works, but http://hostname:631/ gives you a "400 Bad Request", try this: cupsctl "ServerAlias=hostname". It worked for me. If the server have aliases, you can add them with more cupsctl commands.

Quick tip: avoid filling up root partion with *symbol files

If you put INSTALL_NODEBUG=yes in /etc/make.conf, you will avoid all the *.symbol files (which fills up your root partition) when doing 'make kernel' or 'make buildkernel; make installkernel'.
