I started working on my implementation of #audio and #music production software (aka DAW) called Maolan. It supports #FreeBSD and #Linux, with experimental support for #Mac and #Windows. I am currently working on support for #NetBSD and #OpenBSD. When I get it to work on all the mentioned OSes at least in virtual machine, #Solaris is next. Once the core architecture is in place, contributions will be more than welcome. Stay tuned.

If you are using #DTrace on #FreeBSD, then I've got good news for you.
I've added a new manual to FreeBSD. It's called d(7) and it is a short reference of the #D scripting language. Currently, it covers only a subset of all variables and functions, but we'll add more iteratively.
Here are some previews for you:
HTML: https://people.freebsd.org/~0mp/d.7.html
MDOC (view with man(1)): https://people.freebsd.org/~0mp/d.7
Have fun tracing your systems!
I've just committed a new manual page to #FreeBSD: tracing(7), an introduction to #tracing and #performance #monitoring facilities.
It'll take a moment before it is available for readers on man.freebsd.org, so for the time being you can grab a copy from here (https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/plain/share/man/man7/tracing.7?id=c29459f901dc73e1ebe1e654da2677cc0b7bd296) and open it with man(1).

EuroBSDCon 2025 in Zagreb, Croatia 🇭🇷

Digital sovereignty is of vital importance for data freedom. If governments and organisations use proprietary or pseudo-standard formats, they limit the tools that citizens can use to access data. So we’re happy to see that the IT Planning Council in Germany is committing to move to the Open Document Format – a fully standardised format (and the default used in LibreOffice). The German IT Planning Council is a 17-member committee consisting of representatives of Germany’s federal government and the state governments. They say: Open formats and open interfaces are an important building block for the necessary transformation process of public administration in Germany on the path to greater digital sovereignty and innovation. The IT Planning Council is committed to ensuring that open formats such as the Open Document Format (ODF) are increasingly used in public administration and become the standard for document exchange by 2027. It is commissioning the Standardization Board to implement this. More information (in German) on this page. Also see the updates from Schleswig-Holstein moving to LibreOffice.
