In Other BSDs for 2014/12/27

The list is shorter this week; I blame the Christmas holiday.

OpenBSD now has position-independent executables for some architectures. That may mean changing your upgrade strategy. (5.6 upgrade guide here)
FreeBSD now has frequency/voltage control on the Raspberry Pi.
There’s a lot of v7 ARM architectures. I can see why people are waiting for AARMv8.
FreeBSD has a new NFS client/server.
RamNode is another VPS provider that supports BSD. (via)
Also, cloudspin.me.
[ is a binary program.

OpenBSD supports PIE since 5.3. The news is specifically about PIE for statically linked executables.
