New #blog post alert!

I muse about research some of my grad students and I did around independently evaluating some #OpenBSD anti-ROP mitigations, and I bid farewell to being an OpenBSD developer.

Semi-retirement, or, really, changing my relationship with the BSDs - Dr. Brian Robert Callahan

BSD Conference in NL

On Saturday, 9th of May, there is the Spring edition of BSD-NL  Our lovely BSD conference, held in the Netherlands. Or more specifically, in Utrecht - which is the centre of our little country.

Do you use the BSDs in any way - whether personally, professionally? Everyone with even the slightest interest into the BSDs is welcome, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned maintainer/contributor  There will be a couple of talks/presentations, plenty of room and time to hack - and to socialize if that is your thing  

So: grab a ticket, join the awesomeness: BSDNL.nl  And follow @bsd_nl

BSD-NL — BSD-NL

Вспомнилось сегодня несколько раз, что для #dragonflybsd и, кажется, портировали в #fbsd varsym -- символические ссылки с возможностью использования переменных. Это было бы удобно и в линухах. Но увы.

Three ways to look at the same machine - at the same time: a BIOS VGA console, a 256-color xterm, and a responsive web UI - all connected to the same cell and backup management backend.Which one would you pick?

@DrHyde well that was fun. Not really sure what I did wrong in my initial installation of #dragonflybsd. but trying to install URI would hang. Finally tracked it down to Net::Domain::hostname hanging on gethostbyname().

I had to reboot from the CD to reconfigure the existing OS. Setting the host name again and setting up DHCP. The dhcp was unrelated but since it wasn't starting automatically, I figured that was a good time to fix it.

@mrmasterkeyboard @xinit the #RightToFork is elemental to #FLOSS and necessary for #OpenSource to exist.

  • As much as I'm not a fan of seemingly abandoned forks of my works, I am not in the position to restrict or ban those.
    • And people OFC have their right to make a #fork whenever they want to do so!

We ain't criticizing corporations that maintain outdated inhouse forks out of principle, and I think that #evi isn't a "fork for the sake of forking" but actually does things different and apparenty "irreconcileable" to the mainline Project.

Nit to mention EVERYTHING IS "#POLITICAL" - including "apoliticalness"!

Gonna build a #CPAN testing VM with #DragonflyBSD. Any gotchas that my fedihomies think that a seasoned Unixhead should know about?

Dear friends of #BSDCafe - the BSD Cafe Journal needs some attention.

This isn't the best time for me to revive it myself, and that's exactly why I'm counting on you!

I'm sure you have great ideas, thoughts, projects, and articles that would fit perfectly in that space.

So don’t be shy 🙂
The BSD Cafe Journal is waiting for you!

I'm curious to know how #bsd oses, #FreeBSD, #OpenBsd, #NetBsd, #dragonflybsd will manage the new infamous and notorious #California #ageverification #law
@stefano can you please help me solving this question? Thanks in advance
