It makes me glad that OpenBSD is working on openrsync.

https://www.openrsync.org/

I find rsync a core tool that I need as a computering person.

@hailey oh hell no

I forked the repo and rolled it back to the last commit 236417cf354220669014317b1ba818b9d931afbb which hasn't been co-authored by claude: https://github.com/crt0mega/rsync

GitHub - crt0mega/rsync: Unvibed fork of an open source utility that provides fast incremental file transfer. It also has useful features for backup and restore operations among many other use cases.

rsync was basically done until the maintainer discovered vibecoding

They always say stay up to date and follow the latest version ... and ignoring this rule saves my FreeBSD desktop/laptop from BUMSRAKETE hole.

... but yes - I plan to migrate my main workplace to 15.1 and XLibre X11 soon.

What’s the story behind the BSD Daemon, and why is it called Beastie?

With FreeBSD Day coming up tomorrow, we’re kicking off the celebration by looking back at the story behind one of its most iconic figures, the BSD Daemon, also known as Beastie.
Dr. Marshall Kirk McKusick walks us through how this legendary figure got its name, debunks the "demon" myth, and brings BSD culture to life with humor, history, and culture gems.

I spent a whole blog post doing #ZFS on-disk math by hand - just to corrupt one byte and watch #OpenZFS healing process.

Interested?

Feel free to join the journey into the on-disk jungle.

Corrupting a ZFS File on Purpose

Most of the time, the whole point of ZFS is that your data does not get corrupted. But during development you sometimes need the opposite: a controlled, reproducible corruption, so you can watch self-healing kick in, see what a scrub reports, or just understand how a file maps onto the physical disk. There is no better exercise than breaking one byte on purpose and seeing ZFS notice.

As part of FreeBSD Month, we’re highlighting some of the students and contributors helping shape the future of open source.

Congratulations to Minsoo Choo on completing his co-op term with the FreeBSD Foundation as a Junior Software Developer Intern. During his internship, Minsoo contributed to improving LLDB kernel debugging parity across FreeBSD-supported architectures, work expected to ship in LLVM 23.

Learn more about Minsoo's work: https://minsoo.io/p/first-co-op-term-recap.
