Another long list.  These are making my Friday nights take some extra effort.

• Oolite, an open source game based on Elite.  Yes, it runs on BSD.  I’m surprised I haven’t posted about it before.   (via)
• My Experience Switching from Slackware Linux to FreeBSD.
• A week of pkgsrc, #3.
• DiscoverBSD for 2014/08/18.
• OpenBSD is gaining a rcctl(8) tool for automation.
• Phabricator on FreeBSD installation notes.
• 20 years of FreeBSD ports.
• “Does BSD perform disk caching less aggressively?”  I bet the person asking was using two different machines at different times with different loads, which means he doesn’t know what he’s looking for.
• The FreeBSD Foundation’s August Update is out.
• Some people don’t like pkg.
• The EuroBSDCon 2014 travel grant has been extended, and Google has grants to bring more female computer scientists there.
• Spatializer support in NetBSD.
• NetBSD is keeping up with the gpl2 version of GNU Make.
• PC-BSD 10.0.3-RC1 has been tagged.
• FreeBSD has a new automounter.
• FreeBSD has a set of keymap conversion tools.  Might be useful to someone?
• FreeBSD now goes up to 256 CPUs.  (I thought this already happened?)
• Yay cross-pollination!
• Apparently people don’t pay attention to file contents.
• IPv6 tunneling on OpenBSD.
• OpenBSD has replaced BIND with unbound in the base system.
