Dexter's Law: Only proprietary software vendors want proprietary software and only fascists want fascism. Toots are my own. Self-employed. Father of three.

I aim to keep this to technical topics relating to bhyve and OpenZFS, and the occasional humor.

Pointing out the presence of fascists on that other site proved... pointless, and I won't whine about it here.

I have pushed zfswin-2.3.1rc9, with builds for both x86_64 and arm64 Windows. The usual caution is advised, especially on the first arm64 build:

Thank you @AFresh1 for the bits/drivers, which I realize sounds like a computer thing.

I’m seeing a lot of people posting about how sick they are with a “summer flu”

Main complaints? Fatigue, extremely sore throat, fever and loss of smell.

It’s Covid. The Nimbus variant is here & appears to be more transmissible.

It’s time to wear a respirator, clean the air & stay home when sick!
