installing #pkgsrc

exciting Sunday 🤣

Anyway I should commit some changes to #pkgsrc this weekend...

Hey! I will speak at #OpenTofuDay Europe in Amsterdam on March 23!

In my talk, we will see how to package OpenTofu and its providers, and we will exercise that to migrate from Terraform 0.12.x to OpenTofu 1.11.x.

I realise the "blazing fast" meme is getting very old at this point, but it's genuinely so much fun making Rust code even faster. You often end up with simpler, cleaner, more idiomatic code too.

The original C pbulk presolve code takes:

real 0m35.686s
user 0m35.229s
sys 0m0.163s

Bob was already much faster:

real 0m2.115s
user 0m1.677s
sys 0m0.174s

But the new code is ridiculously (some might say blazing) fast:

real 0m0.506s
user 0m0.396s
sys 0m0.106s

System Administration: Week 4: Package Management

In this video, we continue our discussion of the difference and relationship between the operating system and so-called "add-on software". We conclude that in order to install and maintain all such software, we want to use a package manager, and illustrate common features by example of the 'dpkg', 'rpm', and #NetBSD's #pkgsrc tools.

I am testing the new GNU m4 package in my local #pkgsrc tree...

Whether it's the embedded controller inside a vintage radio or the legendary NetBSD Toaster 🍞, the ham/ 📻category in #pkgsrc has you covered.

Why just make toast when you can transmit packets over the airwaves at the same time?
