This week’s BSD Now talks a whole lot about ZFS, which is no surprise given the OpenZFS events going on. There’s other news, of course.
Matt Parnell is presenting Asterisk and FreePBX on FreeBSD at SEMIBUG’s monthly meeting, tomorrow, in Troy, Michigan. Go, if you are near.
Credit goes to SEMIBUG for creating a Google Calendar which makes it slightly more likely I’ll catch the meeting and post about it. Also, a nostalgia moment about the bad old days: I am so glad specialized hardware is no longer needed just to get on the phone network, since VoIP is widespread these days. I hated dealing with flaky PRI lines.
I linked to some other BSD link roundups, so the joy of clicking can continue.

BSD Now 302 leads with a report on my favorite BSD and the recent VM improvements via an article I didn’t link to, plus other systems.
There’s a BSD User Group meeting in Düsseldorf, tomorrow. Go, if you are near. Speaking/reading German probably helps.

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.
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.

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.
