This is now on prod.
FreshPorts 2.16.22: links in commit messages now come from url-highlight 4.x, which I've packaged as www/php-url-highlight. It's live on freshports.org now; stage.freshports.org keeps the old highlighting for comparison. #FreeBSD github.com/FreshPorts/freshp…

A remote attacker has delivered an image file to a host on your network and ms paint has suddenly decided it wants to be special and show us it can execute arbitrary code just like all of those other apps at the cool table have been doing too. have a good weekend i guess

FreshPorts has new news feeds: RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0, for recent commits and for your watch lists. The old /backend/ feeds still work, but will be redirected later. Please update your subscriptions. freshports.org/--/feeds/ #FreeBSD

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.
