BSDNow 248 has an interview with Patrick Mooney, talking about bhyve, along with the usual news summaries.
Bug reports are usually unexciting, but it's always fun to see someone working through a new idea, especially when it's something enabled by doing it on DragonFly.
Rimvydas Jasinskas has added a few options to the buildworld process in DragonFly.  These options let you skip rebuilding the compiler and binutils rebuilds, for a significant speedup: buildworld times cut in half. See his excellent commit message for all the numbers.  Note that this is for development work, so it's not advisable for regular upgrades.
Another wide range; hope you have reading time. Your vector graphics video of the week: TANK.  (via multiple places)
I have the normal list of links, but here's a feature.  At first glance, this looks like Netgate, the commercial entity behind pfsense, is not using FreeBSD for their new product.  However, Jim Thompson of Netgate steps up and give a full-on explanation, and points out there's already code out there to do this - it needs contributors.
BSDNow 247 leads with a report on Mitchell Horne working for the FreeBSD Foundation (actually in the office) as an intern.  It's an interesting contrast to the all-online model for most committers.  There's plenty more links.
New DragonFly installs are chmod 700 for /root, not 755, from this recent change.  Change your existing installation if desired.
A little more on building and less on rights this week.
Note the eleventy-jillion hackathon reports. Your thinkpiece for the week: The cultural shift from not selling out to blowing up.  There's a BSD analogy possible there.
BSDNow 246's title is talking about CVE-2018-8897, which was (unlike the original Spectre/Meltdown) responsibly disclosed to many different operating system vendors, including the BSDs.  As a result, fixes arrived a lot faster...  seems like a good idea.  No interview in this episode, but as always there's other topics explored.
This commit from Bill Yuan says "highspeed lockless in-kernel NAT", and lists a huge number of changes for ipfw3.  How much of a change is it?  I don't know; there isn't a matching documentation update and I don't have a way to test.
I've got some real esoteric sources this week. Your rights-oriented hardware project of the week: NeTV2, a Bunnie Huang project.  A neat device worth funding on its own, and worth having to show what capabilities are being denied us by law.
This came together very nicely.
Hey, another terse title, and I didn't even write it!  This BSDNow episode talks about the recent ZFS conference.  It's interesting to think there can be a meetup about a file system that isn't really held to a vendor at this point.  There 's a number of other articles, too - I'm just a bit late noting it.
