BSDCan 2026, day two, is getting underway at uOttawa.

I'm attending "BSD as a Foundational Platform for Nationwide Semiconductor Education in Japan" by Hiroki Sato.

Off to OttawaU for my second / the last day of #BSDCan2026 . Really interesting sessions so far. Friendly, approachable, erudite, fun people. The hallway track deserves the fame it has earned.

It's been a real treat meeting people that I've known for years, in some cases decades, without ever having seen their faces before (even in photos) - or in some cases without even knowing their real names, only login IDs! ( @cks , @oclsc , some folks here know and appreciate your UofT systems work!)

In just a moment, Martin Vahlensieck will present, Low friction temporary VMs on FreeBSD.

Really interesting set of usability challenges. Screen readers aren't good for skimming big chunks of text.

Amusing question at the end: "How does the screen reader pronounce GIF?"

TIL about Edbrowse

"A good reason to read that copy of _Ed Mastery_ you bought from @mwl a few years ago."
