In Other BSDs for 2017/03/18

Much better than last week, but there wasn’t any hurricane-force winds this week – which helps.

Slightly short this week, maybe because people are prepping for AsiaBSDCon? I have plenty of links for tomorrow’s Lazy Reading.

iXsystems Attends Container World 2017. I know what it’s really about, but it sounds like a convention where everyone talks about cardboard boxes.

In Other BSDs for 2017/02/25

I measure the success of In Other BSDs by how many different BSD flavors I can reference. This is a good week.

“Hi, I’m jkh and I’m a d**k” I don’t 100% agree with the idea, but it’s still a good plan.
