ChiBUG meets tomorrow, in I assume the normal place.
Update: postponed due to weather.

Of course the first thing I did was type the wrong year into the title of this post.
Happy new year! More BSD content in this week’s summary than usual.
Your unrelated music of the week: Don Leisure, Halal Cool J. Music’s good, title’s hilarious. (via)
Yao Ge has created a new DragonFly mirror in Nanjing, China. It’s on the mirrors page too.
Merry almost Christmas!
Here’s a weird confluence of things all based on me searching out links and stories for this blog: Based on the recommendation of Cooking Issues listeners, I visited Hi-Collar last weekend, a Japanese kissaten (which I know of because of Craig Mod’s mailing list / book) while I stayed at St. Marks’s Hotel, which I know about through NYCBSDCon. Meal was good, and all these things would not have come together without these years of Lazy Reading posts.
ChiBUG is meeting in the normal place tomorrow on the 19th. Go, if you are near. (Plans changed after I posted this.)
Old hardware – really old – minitheme.
If you have a TP-Link TL-WN722N v2 wireless adapter, you are in luck.
No theme other than maybe interesting hardware.
Elements of dsynth, the mass package builder for DragonFly, are now appearing in the base system. It looks like this is most helpful for building packages as part of the base install, but there might be other applications.
This is mostly an ID change, but the Mercusys MW150US USB wifi adapter is now supported in DragonFly.
I missed last week because of a time crunch at 2 jobs, but at least I can make this week up.
The monthly ChiBUG meeting is tomorrow at the normal location.
SemiBUG is having a meeting tomorrow, the 21st, with a presentation on shell scripting. It’ll be online through Jitsi. Slides from Nick Holland’s last presentation are available, for the curious.
No natural theme at all this week. Which is OK!
You can now run devfs(5) and procfs(5) in a jailed environment for DragonFly. As the commit message says, it’s for dsynth but I imagine this may be good for other applications.
NYCBUG is having a combination release party (FreeBSD 14) and swag time (EuroBSDCon stickers). It will be streamed. Go, if you are near.
More wide-ranging this week.
If you are running bleeding-edge DragonFly, this recent struct change will require a kernel and world rebuild. If you are running the release, it doesn’t affect you.
