SEMIBUG’s meeting tonight has Susan Hurst presenting on database implementation, via Jitsi. 7 PM Michigan time.
This is pretty esoteric, but all of DragonFly’s syscalls can be found in the links Aaron LI provided in this post. There’s code in there that dates back to Berkley UNIX.
The NYCBUG lunch is today, 1-2 Eastern.
There’s a reported bug with NVMM and QEMU if you boot a guest using UEFI. Until it’s fixed, use BIOS.
NYCBUG is having another lunch meeting online, this Friday, 1-2 Eastern time. RSVP on the NYCBUG talk@ list if you are going.
SEMIBUG’s January talk is on ZFS with Allan Jude, and it’s tonight, 7 PM Detroit time. There’s some AV-on-OpenBSD notes that go with it.
If you have a newly installed Firefox on a newly installed DragonFly system, you might be unable to load your Firefox account on first load, like in this screenshot. A workaround is to load your profile on a different machine and copy it over. My guess is permissions for profile creation, but that’s just a guess.
But wait, you say, what about 6.2.0? I performed my biyearly tagging error and screwed up the 6.2.0 tag, so we’re releasing with 6.2.1. On the plus side, this last minute redo let two bug fixes creep in that would have been in a later 6.2.1 anyway. This will be your first chance to try NVMM/Qemu support if you follow releases and not bleeding edge.
The release notes have the details, including the new, improved build process, and a link to the surprisingly-large list of all the changes and closed bugs.
CBSD, the virtualization-management-on-FreeBSD tool could be made to support DragonFly and NVMM. Here’s a tracking issue for it.

Longtime readers won’t be surprised by any of the content, but there’s a DragonFly overview at MakeUseOf.
It’s on Jitsi so you can totally attend. The announcement also mentions the next three months of presentations and who’s coming in to present. There’s some good (not necessarily BSD) content on the way.
If you are running bleeding-edge DragonFly _and_ installed the newest dports binary package build _and_ you are using Samba, you may need to update and rebuild.
Linked here cause maybe it’ll help someone else with synproxy and pf in DragonFly: synproxy state doesn’t work in Packet Filter.
ifconfig(8) in DragonFly is gaining a description field, to ease porting of CBSD.

These are extended so HAM-BUG may still be meeting when you read this.
ChiBUG is meeting tonight at 6PM at Giordano’s. Go if you are near Chicago.
