Those of us in Desmarais remember the lights flickering!

Speaking of which, the conference is open to anyone walking in off the street. Might interest some Ottawa natives as well.

Ten years ago, a sinkhole erupted in downtown Ottawa. It could have been much worse | CBC News

No one was injured when a massive sinkhole erupted in downtown Ottawa in June 2016, but the metaphorical aftershocks from the collapse — particularly when it comes to the city's LRT network — are still being felt to this day.

Has anyone succeeded in running #DragonFlyBSD under #bhyve with UEFI on #freebsd ?
I'm using /usr/share/examples/bhyve/vmrun.sh -c 2 -m 4096M -t tap0 -d /dev/zvol/zroot/vms/dragonfly -E -i -I DragonFly-x86_64-20260528-DEV-v6.5.0-1667-g59b78e44f9.iso dragonfly but it's failing right after I choose my option in the loader.

I've been thinking about code and quality of, for quite some time. Compilers should not be a crutch for bad coders but a tool for good ones. I fear we are treating the symptom not the disease.

I have applauded the efforts of OpenBSD in the past, still all of us can and must do better.

I recently wrote http://jdebp.info/FGA/original-vi.html and was thinking of doing something like this, to augment it; because Sven Guckes's list (https://guckes.net/vi/clones.html) is definitely dated and incomplete, nowadays.

It does not have #NeoVIM (for obvious reasons). Most lists of clones miss that there are several forks of Bostic #nvi, not least the two forks that are in #FreeBSD and #NetBSD base. Similarly, #DragonFlyBSD has forked nvi2.
