Sixtieth release adds more cores, delayed hibernation, and basic Wi-Fi 6 without losing its ascetic streak

<- by me on #TheRegister

At work during a presentation by our data-team (BI, data visualization, ...) about their way of working, someone asked to what extent LLM's will have an impact.

I braced myself for the answer, but actually one of the enterprise architects had a pretty good take on this; when AI results are reproducible (and correct, obviously), only then they'll consider integrating it in their toolset.

I don't know about you, but that sounds like NoAI to me :-)

The output of "zfs list" can be sorted by a specific column using -s. To
sort the datasets by the "used" column in ascending order, run this command:

zfs list -s used

To sort in descending order instead, use -S:

zfs list -S used

New blog post: PF Firewall on FreeBSD - A Practical Guide

After years of running PF across multiple FreeBSD servers, I've written up the patterns that work: macros, tables, brute-force protection, NAT for jails, and dual-stack filtering.

Covers everything from basic concepts to production configs, plus a sidebar on authpf for bastion hosts.

If you're running FreeBSD and want a firewall that's elegant, powerful, and actually understandable, PF is worth your time.
