BSD New 325 has a bunch of release news this week, including FreeBSD 12.1, and as you can guess from the title, rainbow tables.
If you are like me, you’ve typed “make buildworld && make buildkernel && make installkernel …” about a zillion times.

BSD Now 324 is up, with the normal mix of content. It includes a heck of a awk statement for renaming files, and mention of a deployment management system for BSD I hadn’t heard about – Bastille.
I like seeing cross–BSD synthesis on any system element – calendar, in this case.
