If you're in Illinois and you are arrested protesting Trump's illegal war and threats of genocide, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Has anyone started using 'UniFi OS Server' on #FreeBSD yet? I suspect I'll have to install it under a bhyve instance.

For those following along at home, UniFi OS Server is replacing their controller, which runs just fine in a FreeBSD jail, using Java... I've used it there for years.

This morning I read an email which sounded like a new (to me) spam/malware vector: My husband died, here's his death certificate (attached PDF), please deactivate his account.

No, it wasn't any of that. The deceased did have a FreshPorts account, now inactive. :/

Back in my day PC chassis were more than just cases, they were furniture!

[11:35 r720-02 dvl ~] % sudo mkjail create -a amd64 -j pg02 -v 15.0-RELEASE
Release 15.0-RELEASE does not exist. Attempting to fetch...
Fetching release manifest...

Playing hide & seek with a toddler is one of the most relaxing parenting activities I have experienced. At any time you know exactly where toddler is, and at any time toddler feels incredibly empowered thus happy.

I've said it before an I'll say it again: This entire project of identity verification with Apple/Google-account bound mobile devices is going to lead the continent down a dark, dark path into full technological submission to the US

I've been using url-highlight for years (and years) with FreshPorts - now I've decide to create a port for it. However, I'm not sure how to properly package and use the code. see https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=294236

TIL of the -C option on ssh-keygen and of the ssh-copy-id command.
