I’ve been on the road all week, so it seems like I just posted about the last episode. BSDNow 167 is online, and it returns to the interview format. Scott Long of Netflix is interviewed. He’s part of the reason most of the Internet runs through BSD.
Several pfSense links this week, which by complete coincidence is the same week that I’ve been adding network cards to my older pfSense devices at work to create radio links.
- 24/7 support plans for pfSense.

BSDNow 166: pot jokes! No interview, but lots of topics.
Reminder: Isaac (.ike) Levy’s “Infrastructure in a Post-Cloud Era” presentation is tonight, at NYCBUG’s November meeting. Go, see.

BSDNow 165 this week does not have an interview, but it goes in-depth on a number of recent BSD articles, including one on building kernel modules and some ‘high-end’ topics. The vote in the title is to remind you to like .ike.
COMPAT_43 is gone, but it hasn’t worked in a long time anyway. Note that this is 4.3BSD, pre-everything.
A reminder: KnoxBUG is having a meeting tomorrow at 6 PM, at the Blount County Public Library. The presenter is Adam Jimerson, and he’s talking about PacBSD.
Oddball links for BSD this week – but pay attention to the first one.
- Get a BSD person into ARIN. Useful.

That’s Bryan Cantrill, of Joyent, interviewed in BSDNow 163. Joyent has been a major supporter of pkgsrc, though I don’t know if many people realize that. There’s the regular news roundup too, of course.
This was an easy week to put together; there’s a lot of links this week. Last week was slow – maybe it was because of EuroBSDCon?
