Happy new year!  More BSD content in this week’s summary than usual.

• The Infinite 8-Bit Computer Game Character Archive.  (via)
• OSR Rules Families.  (via)
• How about not having platforms so large that their policy decisions carry this much weight?  Having an alternative platform makes these problems go away.
• Battle for Libraries.  Seeing some of the authors signed up to support this made me decide “yes, this is good”.
• A Murder at the End of the World: Are you Vi or Emacs?  (via)
• FreeBSD Desktop – Part 28 – Configuration – Corner Actions.
• Making my own Bed Sensor.  (via)
• My cat water fountain comes with a spicy USB power adapter.  Always check voltages / don’t trust written voltages.  (via)
• First bits of a Haiku compatibility layer for NetBSD.  (via)
• Default mail transport in FreeBSD 14.0 is DragonFly Mail Agent, neat.
• The BSDCan 2024 Call For Papers is out.

Your unrelated music of the week: Don Leisure, Halal Cool J.  Music’s good, title’s hilarious.  (via)
