BSDNow 160: EuroBSD Dreamin’
BSDNow 160’s title is linked to Allan Jude being at EuroBSDCon, happening right now. (Groff is there too!) Episode 160 is available in any case, and I bet there will be some sort of interview(s) coming out of this.

Dear BSD connoisseurs,
If you have not already heard, the Historic MeetBSD California conference will return to the Bay Area once again for its fifth installment on November 11 and 12. The conference will be held at the birthplace of BSD -- UC Berkeley, at the Clark Kerr campus.
This year’s conference will once again follow the unconferenc [...]
iwm(4) firmware updates, plus tempera...
For those running DragonFly 4.7, there’s new firmware for all iwm(4) devices. Also, you can get temperature readings off the iwm wireless device now, if I’m reading this correctly.
Who wants FUSE on DragonFly?
Tomohiro Kusumi is thinking about porting it. Follow the whole thread for details.
3D printing on DragonFly
3D printing on DragonFly with a Fabrikator? Yep, it works. (from jh32 on EFNet #dragonflybsd)
Cool new FreeBSD 11/12 kernel develop...
One of the cool new features in FreeBSD 11 is that we can use the system compiler as a cross compiler, eliminating the need to rebuild clang. While this allows buildworld to go much faster, there\'s another benefit that might not be immediately obvious.For kernel development, this almost means we can forget about the usually required \'make k [...]
Quick hack: creating a pcDuino3 boota...
Here\'s a tip about FreeBSD pre-configured armv6 images. For a given SoC, they are all (almost) the same. There\'s two difference for the Allwinner case (at least for the MP boards): u-boot and the hostname. Recently, I created a u-boot port for pcDuino3 as a slave port. Since I didn\'t care about the hostname, I thought I\'d swap out the (R [...]
Chain booting u-boot with u-boot
Recently, I needed to test u-boot before I flashed a new u-boot image into NAND. In the past, when I\'ve googled it, I find a lot of screeds about how u-boot can\'t chain boot u-boot in the general case. Recently, I found a page for blackfin Linux that talks about doing just this. So, I got to thinking about trying (Read more...)

Alexander Bluhm (bluhm@) contributed our next report (which even includes a picture):
Big plans what to do at a hackathon don\'t work. There is always
something unexpected that requires your attention. So I was expecting
the unexpected. The TCP send performance has dropped to a very low
throughput in some environments. It was prett [...]

Laptop on fire? Use powerd!
Matthew Dillon has added powerd, a utility that will automatically step down processor speed based on reported temperature. The range is configurable, and there’s some other nice-to-have features. This will save your CPU from melting, and probably also your thighs from being burned.

This week’s BSDNow has no interview, but some good links, including a meaty one about HTTPS implementation at NetFlix with FreeBSD.
