NYCBUG is meeting at Suspenders, tomorrow. The announcement has details. Go, if you are near.
I have an inexplicably short BSD section this week. Post-BSDCan fatigue? I don’t know, but I have lots on the docket for tomorrow, I promise.
- ZFS on APU2; follow the thread for details.
- What are the differences between OpenBSD and Linux? (via)
- Something that Linux distributions should not do when packaging things. Linked because I’ve seen people pick Linux over a BSD because they assume (wrongly!) that a large commercial Linux distribution would have up to date packages.
- For the umpteenth time, help a “*BSD newbie” pick the right operating system.
- vmctl(8): command line syntax changed.
- fnaify 1.3 released – more games are “fnaify & run” now.
- Related: GOG.com Summer Sale – OpenBSD Highlights.
The newest BSD Now (300? wow!) has, among other things, a summary of their recent trip to BSDCan 2019.
Watch for post-BSDCan slides and material and ideas to show up in the next few weeks.
- NetBSD 8.1-RC1 is out.

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.
The last weather station link is a real gem.

The May NYCBUG meeting is tomorrow night, at 6:30 PM at Suspenders. The presentation is “Lookup Data Structures in the FreeBSD Kernel“. Go, if you are near.
Tonight’s KnoxBUG meeting is canceled at the last minute due to a family emergency. Don’t go, if you are near.

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.
This week’s BSD Now has traditional conversations: OpenBSD as a network device, NetBSD on different hardware, and something about ZFS encryption coming to FreeBSD after Linux. The show notes have details.
See the page for details, and go if you are near. I’m saying “coming up” because there’s a big time zone difference between here and there.
Nicely mixed topics this week.
- It’s several years old, but worth viewing: .ike’s presentation of “Shell Fu” from NYCBUG, as video. Also: May event speaker needed. (via)
- The FreeBSD-12 support model.
- “OpenVMS vs. Unix” (antagonists or sisters?).
- Previous link via Nixers Newsletter 121.
