garbage[29]: A nice, shiny comment

Friday’s garbage podcast is up, this one being number 29. It’s a one-man show this week, but you get to hear about joshua’s experience booting OpenBSD on an HP Chromebook 13.

PC-BSD @ South East Linux Fest

The South East Linux Fest is starting tomorrow, and there will be a BSD presence (booth and talks) there – PC-BSD. Stop by if you are the Charlotte, NC area.

(I’d normally save this for In Other BSDs but the event would be half-done by then.)

BSDNow 145: At the Core of it All

BSDNow 145 has, along with a number of BSD links, an interview with Benno Rice. Rice works at Isilon/EMC which uses FreeBSD as their underlying storage platform.

Podcast catchup

I managed to not post about BSDNow (144: The PF Life) or garbage[28] (running with scissors for a while) last week, so I’m posting them now. That’s about 2 hours of BSD-ish conversation for you to listen to before this week’s episodes roll out.

BSDTalk 265: Sunset on BSD

It’s a Solaris episode – or to be exact, SunOS, on BSDTalk this week. Sun used to be BSD, up to version 4.1.4, and this is 17 minutes of talk about that version.

garbage[27]: All these chat programs suck, I’ll create another one

The garbage[27] podcast is out, and it’s covering OpenBSD, iOS, and Android topics, or at least that’s what I guess from the summary, cause I’m still at work.

BSDNow 143: One small step for DRM, one giant leap for BSD

BSDNow 143 has the usual roundup of news, plus a conversation with Matthew Macy about graphics improvements in FreeBSD.

We need DragonFly people interviewed, since DragonFly graphics improvements have been leading the pack, so to speak. I’m linking to the Jupiter Broadcasting site again since I don’t see this episode up on the BSDNow site yet.

BSDNow 142: Diving for BSD Perls

BSDNow 142 is out. You might think the title is about Perl, the language, on BSD, but it’s because there’s an interview with FreeBSD developer Alfred Perlstein. I’m sure he gets that a lot. Among the other news on the episode is a note about ordering BSDNow shirts: do it today because it’s the last day they will be available! Also, you can order now and pick it up at BSDCan if you’re going to be there.

(I’m linking to the jupiterbroadcasting site because the bsdnow.tv site isn’t updated as of this writing.)

BSD Magazine for May 2016 out

The May issue of BSD Magazine is available now. There’s articles on ZFS, OpenBSD’s arc4random, an interview of Fernando Rodríguez of KeepCoding, and more. It’s a free PDF download if you didn’t know.

garbage[26]: We’re not a Linux show, either

I haven’t listened to it because I’m at work, but garbage episode 26 is up, along with news of shirts and stickers.

2016/05/12

BSDNow 141: BSD likes .ike

I took some liberty with the spelling of the title, but it’s more accurate that way: The newest episode of BSDNow has a roundup of BSD news (some of which is pretty major) and an interview of Ike Levy, AKA ‘the guy at NYCBSDCon who showed me how useful pfSense could be’. Ike is speaking at a SemiBUG meeting on the 17th, too, which I’ll post about.

A late Garbage[25]

Episode 25 of Garbage went up yesterday and I forgot to check for it, so I’m linking to it now. Among other things, they mention Garbage merchandise. I’d pay for a shirt that pointed out most technology is garbage, to take it from the page.
