BSD Now 389: Comfy FreeBSD Jails

It’s been a quiet week, but at least we have the regular BSD Now episode to hear. They talk about Plan 9 this week, which I guess isn’t BSD but still entertains me.

BSD Now 388: Must-have security tool

With a title like this, it seems you must listen to the newest BSD Now. The title’s talking about pf-badhost. There’s more covered in the episode.

NYCBUG online Feb 3rd

Michael Dexter will be giving a talk for NYCBUG’s February 3rd meeting (6:45 PM Eastern) titled “Fifteen Years and Fifteen Minutes: Applying Occam’s Razor to FreeBSD with OccamBSD“. If you want to attend – and you should – email for the Zoom link; the address to email is in the linked message.

(I managed to miss putting this in In Other BSDs Saturday, but that’s OK; you should go cause this is a topic that isn’t covered anywhere else.)

The number for this week’s BSD Now episode is a good one… Now we have to get to 8086! Lots of VLAN/VNET content.

Chat without servers

I always thought IRC was pretty decentralized, but I didn’t realize talk(1) was designed to work machine-to-machine. That means in theory that if you have a talk(1) binary on your machine, you could chat directly to anyone else with the same binary, even on a different platform. Since 4.3BSD! Anyway, I only realized this because of this recent bugfix thanks to Dan Cross.

BSD Now 385: Wireguard VPN mesh

A very straightforward title in this week’s BSD Now; worth listening to for more information on Wireguard, the new hotness.

This week’s BSD Now talks about the usual hardware, but also gets into the recently announced Allen K. Briggs scholarship.

timeout(1) in DragonFly

Aaron LI has ported timeout(1) to DragonFly. It’s a way to run a command with a time limit, and I’m happy to say it is a cross-BSD item, coming from NetBSD by way of FreeBSD.

NYCBUG meeting, tomorrow

It’s online, so everyone can go to “Chatting About TLS and Orcs, by Michael W. Lucas“, tomorrow night. I’m putting this reminder the day before because you have to mail rsvp@lists.nycbug.org to get the Zoom invite.

BSD Now 383: Scale the tail

This week’s BSD Now has a bunch of “project status report” items – normal reports, not end of year roundups, despite the date. Good reading if you aren’t familiar with the work involved, in any case.

Casual CHARMBUG meeting, happening now.

As in, right now, and online, so join in and say hi.
