BSDNow 215: Turning FreeBSD up to 100 Gbps

There’s no in-reference in this week’s BSDNow, but I think they already did the “it goes to 11” reference. Among other news items, they’ve caught ClonOS, which I did not know about.

BSDNow 214: The history of man, kind

BSDNow 214 has no interview, but does get into a convention report and a number of other topics, including the history of man pages. Is there a help format that has lasted as long as man pages? I don’t think so.

Blind at a BUG

Brandon Werner, will be talking at the SEMIBUG meeting tomorrow night at 7 PM. He programs for a living and is blind, so it should be interesting even just to see his preferred tools.

(Mentioned previously for In Other BSDs but I want to make sure people catch this.)
