BSD Now 292: AsiaBSDCon 2019

BSD Now 291: Storage Changes Software
BSD Now 291 is up. The show notes lead with an involved BSD-in-production story that I just realized affected me; some simple hosting I take care of for a non-profit was involved in the move they describe.
BSD Now 290: Timestamped Notes
This week’s BSD Now hops through Free, Net, Open, and Sec for BSDs this week, as the show notes will tell you.

BSD Now 289 is up, titled “Microkernel Failure“. Among other things, the show notes has links to all 18 existing parts of the FreeBSD desktop series that’s been going on for some time.
BSD Now 288: Turing Complete Sed
This week’s BSD Now covers a range of topics that could match what I have in my weekend posts.
BSD Now 287: rc.d in NetBSD
This week’s BSD Now talks about a number of NetBSD things including rc.d as you might guess, and covers Project Trident. Listen/read in if you are unfamiliar.
BSD Now 286: Old Machine Revival
This week’s BSD Now, the satisfyingly-numbered 286, covers a number of topics – including 2 things I have always been entertained by: small X tools and Windowmaker.
BSD Now 285: BSD Strategy
This week’s BSD Now (video) gets into a recent article about FreeBSD planning, plus a note about a famous book, plus of course more.

In Other BSDs for 2019/02/02
Inadvertent theme: release news.
- Our Software Dependency Problem. Hard thinking about something many, many people don’t think hard enough about. This talks about software, but it’s directly analogous to ports/dports/pkgsrc. I’m leading with this even though it’s not directly about BSD, cause it affects anyone using a packaging system.
- I mentioned it before, but FOSDEM 2019, happening right now in Brussels, has a BSD Devroom with a lot of things happening in it; you could spend your entire Saturday in there.
- And something that has me quite excited: The Pinebook Pro, among other hardware announcements for FOSDEM. BSD is being mentioned right there as something to install on it, rather than as an aftermarket hack like with Chromebooks – heartwarming, I tell you. (via)
- Unix flowers. Look for birthtoken while you are at it. (via)
- FreeNAS has Plugins? A casual look at it seems to push some features into pfSense territory.
- Next NYC*BUG: 2/6.
- OPNsense 19.1-RC1 released. Wait, 19.1 is out.
- join-ing any open wifi network is now possible.
- FreeBSD Training @ SCaLE 17x (March 8, 2019) (via)
- NetBSD Virtual Machine Monitor. (via)
- ClonOS 19.01-RELEASE (first public release). (via)
- Valuable News – 2019/01/18 and Valuable News – 2019/01/25 and Valuable News – 2019/02/01.

- At The Gates, 4x strategy game running on BSD. (via)
BSD Now 283: Graphical Interface-View
The hosts of BSD Now are off to FOSDEM 2019, but they stayed on schedule by recording an interview with Niclas Zeising of the FreeBSD graphics team, available now. He’s speaking at FOSDEM, too, along with a bunch of other BSD Devroom stuff.
BSD Now 282: Open the Rsync
This week’s BSD Now talks about OpenRSync (OpenRsync? Dunno the capitalization on that), convention news, and someone building a “Sun Workstation”.
BSD Now 281: EPYC Server Battle
This week’s BSD Now discusses scp vulnerabilities, GhostBSD, and the recent EPYC hardware benchmarks that I have not linked because I don’t think they are useful information.
BSD Now: FOSS Clothing
This week’s BSD Now talks about merchandise! No, it’s really starting with a license discussion. A merchandise-finding episode would be a good idea, though.
BSD Now 279: Future of ZFS
As you may have guessed, this week’s BSD Now talks about the change of ZFS code origin in FreeBSD. There’s of course other things linked, including this tattoo.
BSD Now 278: The Real McCoy
BSD Now 278 has an interview of Marshall Kirk McKusick, from BSDCan 2018. If you aren’t familiar with him, he’s been involved with BSD possibly longer than you’ve been alive, and you’re probably using code he wrote, one way or another.
