Comments on: Lazy Reading for 2026/02/01 https://www.dragonflydigest.com/2026/02/01/lazy-reading-for-2026-02-01/ A running description of activity related to DragonFly BSD. Mon, 02 Feb 2026 13:18:03 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.3 By: vermaden https://www.dragonflydigest.com/2026/02/01/lazy-reading-for-2026-02-01/comment-page-1/#comment-500765 Mon, 02 Feb 2026 13:18:03 +0000 https://www.dragonflydigest.com/?p=29609#comment-500765 The Valuable News weekly series is dedicated to provide summary about news, articles and other interesting stuff mostly but not always related to the UNIX/BSD/Linux systems. Whenever I stumble upon something worth mentioning on the Internet I just put it here.
Today the amount information that we get using various information streams is at massive overload. Thus one needs to focus only on what is important without the need to grep(1) the Internet everyday. Hence the idea of providing such information ‘bulk’ as I already do that grep(1).
The Usual Suspects section at the end is permanent and have links to other sites with interesting UNIX/BSD/Linux news.
Past releases are available at the dedicated NEWS page.
