If you want to present a paper, or were thinking about presenting at EuroBSDCon, today’s the deadline for getting it in.
Smushing BSD and Lazy Reading links together into one, again. Tell me if that’s good or bad from where you’re standing.

SEMIBUG’s having a presentation on CARP tomorrow. It’s being given by Nick Holland who has a long presentation history. It’ll be online through Jitsi, so anyone can see it.

Reminder: GEFS, NYCBUG, tomorrow.
If you are near Portugal this September, so is EuroBSDCon 2023. Registration and the call for papers are both out.
The next NYCBUG meeting, May 3rd, will be a talk about GEFS, the Good Enough File System, and porting from Plan9 to OpenBSD.
Michael W. Lucas is talking about his new OpenBSD filesystems book tomorrow at SemiBUG’s meeting. It’s online so you don’t even have to be there.
Registration is open for BSDCan 2023, and here’s what you will see there.
SimCity 2000 on OpenBSD, but should work on most any BSD.
ChiBUG’s meeting in the normal location tomorrow. Go, if you are near.
NYCBUG is meeting in person tomorrow. Go if you are near, otherwise catch the stream.
Self-Hosted Calendar and Addressbook services on OpenBSD. To go with Michael W. Lucas’s upcoming book.
A number of tips on unicode display and incidentally getting weather at the command line.
I like the idea of virtualized machines springing into existence just by trying to connect to them. This is OpenBSD-specific, but could probably be extrapolated to bhyve or NVMM.
Emily Pillmore of the Haskell Foundation is presenting at the next SEMIBUG meeting, tomorrow, at 7 PM.
Cloud and back again talk by Brian Cantrill. Not BSD specific but he’s been involved with other BSD work. (via)
