Lots of event notices in here… Watch for what’s near you.
The next KnoxBUG meeting is September 5th, with a Trident demo. I’ll post a reminder.
OpenBSD.Amsterdam. Dedicated OpenBSD/vmd servers, which is a neat idea. Could probably do the same thing with vkernels.

In Other BSDs for 2018/08/11
Overflow that I couldn’t catch up to before last weekend’s In Other BSD’s posting time. I try to always have these by 9 AM Eastern time Saturday. (Same for Lazy Reading on Sunday) I mentally imagine everyone sitting down with a drink and nothing else to do but click links, those mornings. At least, I hope that’s wh [...]

For future reference, this is the knew server. It runs a few jails, including Bacula regression testing services.
This recent post outlines the modifications so it boots off a mirror of SSDs.

BSDNow 257: Great NetBSD 8
BSDNow 257 (which is not as exciting a number as last week but still prime) has no interview but manages to hit all the right notes – every major BSD is mentioned and also links to recent convention reports.
In Other BSDs for 2018/07/21
A few of the links are not directly BSD-ish, but related.
Adventures in Open Source. Interesting for the fixes, and for just hearing how tools are being used – I will look up syncthing as an easier-to-fiddle-with replacement for sftp.
Version Control Before Git with CVS. Not that long ago for BSD projects, depending where you look. [...]

BSDNow 253: Silence of the Fans
BSDNow 253: no interview, but it covers a range of topics I’d be proud to fit in an Other BSDs post. Of special interest (to me) this week: talking about fanless systems, cause it’s hot in North America, and Pinebooks, cause I still have a small computer fetish.
