FreeBSD mac_portacl(4) rc script
mac_portacl(4) is a FreeBSD kernel security module providing an access control policy
for permitting specific users and groups to bind to ports that would otherwise be restricted
to the super-user.
portacl-rc is an rc script that makes configuring it easier and safer.
Find processes that need restarting after an upgrade
checkrestart is a FreeBSD semi-workalike of the old
checkrestart program from debian-goodies —
it looks for running processes with open files to replaced binaries and
libraries, indicating they’ve not been restarted since a software update.
Help keep FreeBSD tidy
A small Ruby script for helping deal with cruft on pkgng-based systems like FreeBSD.
Perhaps most interesting is the implementation of
checkrestart, a feature similar to the Debian-goodies
program of the same name, which can find running processes
which may need restarting following an upgrade.

Command-line AMD K8 CPU thermal diode reader
A foray into lower-level code, bashing PCI registers and using a bit of custom
assembler, k8temp offers a command line interface to the thermal sensors on
AMD’s old K8 CPUs.
BSD Commit Log Search
A search engine/viewer for source code commits, focused on projects of interest to the BSD community.
Currently into its fourth rewrite, backed by Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL and Redis, with the site itself running on JRuby and Roda, making use of concurrent-ruby to parallelise data retrieval and inserts.
Previous versions have used Rails, Sinatra, Padrino, Solr, MySQL, and memcached.
