So that I don't have to try to remember it or look it up next timearound, here is how to generate a real self-signed SSL certificate withOpenSSL. The basic but incomplete incantation is:
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days-keyout .key -out .crt ... If you want a merged PEM certificate, just make the

Solaris 9's slow patch installs
Yesterday was my first time installing the Solaris 9 recommended patchset on a production machine; we rolled it onto a basically unpatchedserver. Because it was a server, I did it in single user mode (thepatch set recommends this, as some patches in the patch set sayexplicitly to apply them in single-user mode).
I already knew that installing the patch set was achingly slow on mytest machine, but my test machine is an Ultra 10 so I wasn'tsurprised. The machine from
Multiprocessors are a leaky abstraction
Earlier this week, the story started rumbling through the usual places that using hyperthreading on Intel CPUs could cause seriousperformance problems in some applications, like Microsoft SQL Server.The current best guess of the cause is cache thrashing due toHyperthreaded processors sharing L1 and L2 cache. If a process thathammers the cache is scheduled onto one logical processor of a HTpair, it will destroy the performance of anything running on theother logical CPU (I'm summarizing from here ).
As this vividly demonstrates, multiprocessors
寫文壞習慣
寫 Blog 寫得多，多少對自己的寫文陋習有些了解。
其一是多餘字眼，我寫東西重看一遍後，除了要更正錯字別字，最常見是要刪去無用的「其實」、「基本上」、「實際上」、「事實上」、「當然」等等。這些字最常出現在我的文
A quick outline of Firefox extension structure
Yesterday I mentioned Firefox extensions inpassing. Let's fill in the blanks.
Firefox extensions come as
.xpifiles, which are just yet anotherextension for ZIP archives. Unpacked, extensions live in their owndirectory in theextensions/subdirectory in your Firefox profiledirectory. Firefox profile directories live under~/.mozilla/firefox; the default profile is in.default .(Firefox randomizes the name of the profile directory, I believe dueto security concerns.) The actual name of an extension

How to fiddle with Firefox .jar files relatively easily
A lot of Firefox's code is actually written in various interpretedlanguages, especially JavaScript, and Firefox extensions are prettymuch all interpreted. This means that you can do a lot of Firefox andextension hacking without ever having to rebuild from source; you justzap the interpreted files in place in your installed copy.
Firefox doesn't leave all of these files sitting around for you toedit; it bundles them up in various
.jarfiles (pretty much all inthechrome/subdirectory). Fortunately.jarMenu
