I am a bit late posting the newest BSD Now episode, which leads with interesting news: accelerated video through bhyve.
NYCBUG is meeting at Suspenders, tomorrow. The announcement has details. Go, if you are near.

- ZFS on APU2; follow the thread for details.
- What are the differences between OpenBSD and Linux? (via)

I am confused because it seems like we had two BSD Now episodes in a week, but I am not complaining. Episode 298 is up (show notes) and has a goat.
If you didn’t see the email: here’s details on how BSDCan 2019 is starting up, this weekend. Go, even if you aren’t near.
Update: corrected registration details.
It’s on the RSS feed but not in the normal place, and it’s early, so I bet this week’s BSD Now is put together early because of travel. I’m linking to it early for similar reasons.
ChiBUG is meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, at Giordano’s at 6. Go, if you are near, and ask joshua stein about his astonishing hardware hacks.

Michael W. Lucas is meeting one of his book sponsors tonight at the New Parthenon in Greektown – that’s in Detroit – and issued a general call for a get-together. If you attend SEMIBUG meetings, you’re probably close enough, but you don’t have to be an attendee to show up and have a good time.
