Finally bought my Christmas present, a new screen. Now I finally have 1920×1080 resolution and a dual screen setup with my old (1280×1024). Feels like I just arrived in the 201x-years.
Month: January 2017
Your existing KVM plan received a complimentary upgrade!
Additional 51G Hardddisk. *yummy* Now what do I do with this?
How to add the new space to my partition table:
# sudo gpart recover vtbd0 # sudo gpart add -t freebsd-ufs vtbd0
The recover part is apparently necessary, because gpart stores important data at the end of the disk, which after the upgrade isn’t the end anymore.

KDE4 konsole and UTF-8
If UTF-8 works in xterm but not in Konsole, the solution is to change the default font to “Liberation Mono”
FreeBSD, Why isn’t utf-8 default in 2017?
