Recently I made a major revision of all posts, using code tags and cleaning up the formatting. Most of the downloads now point to Dropbox, too. I changed the theme several times and I apologize for this, I know it’s annoying.

Clearing syslog
Posted: 2014-08-26 Filed under: misc, system | Tags: clear, syslog, var Leave a commentDue to some reason, my /var/log/syslog had grown over 500MB. Since I have /var mounted to a separate partition I noticed it easily. I had never had such an issue, so I googled around and found this very old post. Read the rest of this entry »
