How to donate code
Hello, colleagues! How would one propose some code to current branch? I've made a little change to ifconfig ( a switch to display IPv4 network masks in CIDR format instead of HEX) and want to suggest this change to FreeBSD project. Also i've created a PR with my patch describing what is done and for what (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=169072cat=), but maybe there's some other way to somehow push this code for review by FreeBSD developers?

Twitter.com is loading slowly after updating to Firefox 13.0.1
Hello! I'm having this problem on two different computers, one running 8.3-STABLE and the other running 9.0-STABLE. After updating Firefox from 12.0 to 13.0.1, whenever I access twitter.com, I can log in but after that a message appears saying that Twitter.com is loading slowly, and the site is practically unusable - clicking on any of the links has no effect. Various support sites say that this may be a problem with Firefox extensions or plugins, or some difficult-to-find problem which may be worked around by clearing cache and cookies, or trying with a new Firefox profile. For testing, I have disabled all extensions and plugins. I have also tried moving my ~/.mozilla directory out of the way so that new empty profile is created. None of this has helped. The fact that this is happening on two totally different machines is leading me to think that maybe this is some peculiarity in a way that Firefox is compiled on FreeBSD, so I decided to ask if anyone else is seeing this.

Was the performance better? (We've not been having any problems with Apache to this point.) Is there sufficient support from addon apps to run a site with a php-driven forum? I've compared them; since I know Apache...rather well, switching to nginx didn't strike me as a useful change at any of the sites for which I've setup or managed their webservers. You have to invoke external scripts like a PHP forum via FastCGI (what nginx calls ngx_http_fastcgi_module); using and tuning FastCGI separately from the webserver itself definitely has some advantages, but those same advantages can be obtained in Apache by using mod_fcgi instead of using mod_php directly. Apache is bulkier per process than nginx but has more modules and config options available for it; nginx seems to have been tuned more for server farms hosting a lot of low-volume vanity domains, so it has minimal overhead, implements IP-based and name-based virtual hosting eloquently, implements bandwidth rate controls as a core functionality, etc. I cannot recall encountering a circumstance where the base performance of the webserver itself turned out to be the primary criterion for website performance; sites are almost always constrained by bandwidth and/or the performance of the dynamic scripts, database backend, etc-- and not by the webserver's ability to serve static resources.

That's substantial if, no? But in this case, yes, I should have mounted fs maybe. But really didn't know what to expect.

I've made a little change to ifconfig ( a switch to display IPv4 network masks in CIDR format instead of HEX) and want to suggest this change to FreeBSD project. Also i've created a PR with my patch describing what is done and for what (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=169072cat=), but maybe there's some other way to somehow push this code for review by FreeBSD developers? Thank you a lot and sorry for noobish question :) The general advice is mail the patch to -hackers for review. If you don't get a reply or if people like it, submit a PR so it doesn't get lost. Be aware that the latency for some patches could be longer than you expect. :( FWIW unified diff format patches are much preferred.
