Ensuring Perl’s Viability on FreeBSD: A NYCBUG-NY.PM Collaboration is the presentation at tomorrow’s NYCBUG meeting. Going by the details, it’s covering multiple BSDs. Go, if you are near – I wish I was.

SemiBUG is having the monthly meeting tonight. The presenter is Nick Holland, talking about SPECTRE mitigations in OpenBSD, and similar mechanisms. If you are near, go.
Here’s your reminder: MeetBSD is happening October 19-20 in Santa Clara, CA. That’s the end of this week. Go, if you are near.
Still playing catchup with links.

BSDNow 267 is posted a bit early this week, with an interview of Michael W. Lucas, about his upcoming Absolute FreeBSD 3rd edition and local BUG.
I’m posting a day early cause of time zone difference: there’s a meeting of the Polish BSD User Group tomorrow.
Michael W. Lucas is giving a talk at mug.org tonight; he may have physical copies of his new Absolute FreeBSD, 3rd edition available. Go, if you are near. Pro tip: If you are late but still want to catch up to Michael, look for the nearest gelato shop.

6:30 tonight: NYCBUG’s monthly meeting, with the topic of Subdo. I don’t know what that is, but we all can find out: tonight’s meeting will be streamed.
There’s a KnoxBUG BSD user group meeting in Knoxville, Tennessee, with the topic of “Real-world Performance Advantages of NVDIMM and NVMe: A Case Study with OpenZFS“, presented by Nick Principe. It’s happening at 6 PM, tonight. They have the prettiest logo of any BUG that I’ve seen.
