I just want to say that I hate you all for not buying the iPhone mini resulting in its cancellation and I’ll never forgive you for it.

I thought I’m flying next week 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Putting both your carry on and personal item to the overhead bin before others get a chance to put their carry on is a dick move.

We got called out a bit! Tomorrow on Oxide and Friends, Adam Leventhal and I will be joined by Conor Hoekstra from ADSP: The Podcast to settle the beef between our podcasts -- and to hit on the more general issues of culture and tribalism in tech. Join us, 5p Pacific! discord.gg/wZsYtXSn?event…

The new macOS Sonoma’s userland is SO MUCH MORE usable thanks to finally syncing up with FreeBSD!

Just moved in to new place. All 3 of our tables are broken during the oversea shipment :(

Do I know anyone who works at AEG? It sounds like they're using FreeBSD and AWS. If that means FreeBSD/EC2, we should talk.

I’ve resigned from my role leading the Audio team at Stability AI, because I don’t agree with the company’s opinion that training generative AI models on copyrighted works is ‘fair use’. First off, I want to say that there are lots of people at Stability who are deeply

Glad i have my UPS so i can blow dry my hair during power outage.

Am watching Die Hard and saw gas price was less than a dollar per gallon

I am very saddened by this news. Niklaus got me into CS since I became fascinated by the beauty of his language designs and compiler architectures. And later he became the guiding mentor for my doctoral studies at ETH.

I think the fastest I got the FreeBSD kernel booting in Firecracker was 21 ms. NetBSD is now at 18 ms... I need to go back and address some more of the issues I noticed but didn't get around to fixing. Anyone know what the current record for Linux is? Last I heard was ~50 ms.

A short time ago I created the FreeBSD releng/13.3 branch and started FreeBSD 13.3-BETA1 builds. If I got all the details right, you should be able to install FreeBSD 13.3-BETA1 by Monday. Please plan on testing this! The more people test, the faster bugs get found and fixed.

FreeBSD 14.1-BETA1 is now available: lists.freebsd.org/archives/freeb… Please test this! Especially if you have a desktop/laptop system -- some changes just landed recently affecting audio and we'd like to make sure nothing broke (if necessary we'll pull them from 14.1).

“Beginning with Windows Server 2025, dtrace is included as a built-in tool.” This is awesome to see! learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-…

1. I'm legit shocked by the design of Meta's new notification informing us they want to use the content we post to train their AI models. It's intentionally designed to be highly awkward in order to minimise the number of users who will object to it. Let me break it down.

Mike Karels was a giant in the BSD world. He was part of the original team of developers in Berkeley in the 80s, and 40 years later was contributing to FreeBSD. He was also my release engineering deputy, and just last week agreed to be release engineer for FreeBSD 13.4-RELEASE.

Please help Glen Barber out with his truck. If you've used FreeBSD, you've used his stuff. gofundme.com/f/need-new-clu…

#OpenZFS saved my ass again. Forgetting it is a NFS mountpoint, I accidentally rm -rf a bunch of files Fortunately, although I haven’t had a good habit snapshotting my datasets, I interrupted the task fast enough and able to find a txg, mount it, and restored the data #FreeBSD
