How does this directory use so much space If you run du without -s it will tell you the space each file consumes under /var. sudo du -h /var > /tmp/foo and then look through /tmp/foo. |

Can it harm if I shutdown without closing applications? You need to define precisely what "shutdown my machine" means to you, as any answer will depend on that. Possibilities include sudo shutdown, sudo halt, pressing the power button, holding down the power button, and even pulling the plug out of the wall. |

How to disable IPv6 on OpenBSD? Well, if you mean packet filtering, I think you can use pf.conf to filter against any protocol that's in /etc/protocols and ipv6 is in there. I haven't tried it, however. |

Why does tar --exclude=“.*” create an empty archive? Interesting, indeed. I tested on Mac OS Lion; tar --version yields "bsdtar 2.8.3 - libarchive 2.8.3". ".?*" works with this tar. |
