Michael W Lucas and Allan Jude are busy working on a new OpenZFS book, which means not only documenting everything that’s changed in the last 12 years but discovering everything that they got wrong the first time. The quest for accuracy has taken Lucas deep into mailing list archives, Usenet, VAX installation manuals, the Kremlin’s first Internet connection, the United Nations’ effort to merge the BSD projects, and the ULTRIX and S51K filesystems, and left MWL more convinced than ever that filesystems are nothing but a April Fools’ prank. This hurriedly conceived and hastily assembled talk will update you on new OpenZFS features, but will also try to determine if it’s a good prank–or not. - more info on website.

@quoidian @mwl when I posted the meeting notice to the NYC*BUG mailing list I added language saying we were honestly having a meeting!

Believe it or not, we were able to convince Michael W. Lucas @mwl to give the April 1st talk for NYC*BUG. His talk is entitled :
"What's Changed Since The Last Time I Came this Way: a talk that was supposed to be about OpenZFS."

Details to follow.

@peterkotrcka @gumnos oh, I wasn't recommending it as a long term daily driver, just a box you could give a little job to. The sort ideas for jobs you would get from taking the @solene #oldcomputerchallange

@gumnos and you just *know* there is someone out there with a script with a curl | regex command to pull data off a non-friendly website they frequent from some old box they are not ready to let go of just yet. Thankfully we can still give such machines other jobs to do.
