This week’s BSD Now has the most exciting title I’ve heard in some time, related to the type of disk being used in one of the stories.  This week is mostly installation tales, really.

This week’s BSD Now links to a bunch of what I call ‘resource’ articles, things that tell you how to do things and use stuff.  It’s good reading if you have the time.

BSD Now covers this week’s OpenBSD release, along with other topics.  I’ll point out the “FreeNAS Spare Parts Build” since everyone does that sooner or later.

This week’s BSD Now is about half an hour of mostly FreeBSD items, though there is one feedback link of interest to any newer Lenovo laptop users.

This week’s BSD Now is all FreeBSD and NetBSD news items – go read/listen; I have no special items to pick out but it’s all enjoyable.

This week’s BSD Now has the normal links, but also shows off a “Open Source Retail Box Collection”, which is always fun to see – open source that reaches the shelf.  Also: install stories!

BSD Now 347 is up with the usual mix of articles, with the highlight for me being “Making Unix a little more Plan9-like”.  However, there’s also the news that BSD Now is breaking out on their own, away from Jupiter Broadcasting, which is exciting news!  Make sure you are looking at the correct RSS feed to catch their move.

BSD 346 is out and has some interesting Unix history bits in amongst the other news.

BSD Now 345 has the usual batch of recent stories to cover, plus a treat – a number of community feedback items on switching to BSD.

Everything else is topsy-turvy, but BSD Now is a constant: it’s out like usual this week.  There’s a feature about text processing, a subject I inexplicably enjoy, and a lot of things that start with Z.

BSD Now 343 is quite topical this week: viruses and VPNs.  Release information, etc., too.

For once, I couldn’t figure out what the name of this week’s BSD Now episode referenced.   It’s Data Virtual Address, in ZFS, which gets covered in the show.  There’s a specific bit about Go and OpenBSD that I haven’t seen mentioned elsewhere, too.  (see show notes)

BSD Now 341 is about unification, get it?  It’s covering the merging of TrueNAS/FreeNAS, along with the usual roundup of news, including POWER9 and FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Go, and so on.

BSD Now 340 is up, with dives into different BSD platform tools; very enjoyable if you like digging into how things work, which of course you do if you are reading this.

I am running a bit late posting about it, but BSD Now 339 is out, with conversations about recent different releases, plus as the title says, fundraising.

BSD Now 338 is up, which strangely is listed as the “100th episode” on the site, but I think that means it’s only indexed through #239.  Anyway, it has the normal ingredients – a ZFS article, a convention note, and a link into a conversation about OpenBSD, among other things.

This week’s BSD Now covers user groups and convention talks and releases and really the full gamut.

BSD Now 335 is up, with links to a bunch of advocacy articles this week, and also notation of a (past) BSD conference in Australia, and an interview of a Hyperbola dev; a project I need to pay more attention to.
