Cobbled together Friday night because my new job oddly has less hours of work but less time to screw around. That’s for the best.
- OpenBSD Jumpstart. (via)
- dtrace and ZFS update (for NetBSD, via)
- syspatch(8) Binary Updates Now for the Latest Release Only.
- Monitoring OpenBSD router.
- Sneaking in two threads (wait, more) about the DragonFly 5 release.
- FreeBSD 11.0 EOL.
- Why did OpenBSD silently release a patch before the embargo? Scroll to the end of the link for this item. Here’s the explanation. (via)
- FreeBSD: Building software from ports (2/2).
- Syspatch for one release only. (via)
RE: the OpenBSD patch:
“We chose to serve the needs of our users who are the vulnerable people in this drama. I stand by that choice.”
For what it’s worth OpenBSD did right by their users.
Does anyone else find it weird that FreeBSD 10.3 is supported 6 months longer than v11.0.
And v10.3 isn’t even the latest 10.x release.

The support policy changed with release 11, which is why they don’t match up.
