BSD Now: FOSS Clothing
This week’s BSD Now talks about merchandise! No, it’s really starting with a license discussion. A merchandise-finding episode would be a good idea, though.
New console font Spleen made default
Frederic Cambus (fcambus@) has just changed the default console font to Spleen, a font of his own creation:

Cross-pollination: odd edition
I usually get all happy when I see sharing happen across BSDs, and note it here. Here’s an unexpected one: between DragonFly and Haiku.

Real paragraphs for mandoc HTML outpu...
Another major step forward just happened in
mandoc(1)
HTML output: paragraphs are now represented with real HTML
<p> elements, and a number of cases were fixed
in which mandoc used to generate output violating HTML syntax,
mostly related to macros and requests that control
line filling
in paragraphs of text.

Plaintext parts of email are fading away (in spam and non-spam).Solving murder with Prolog. (via)Fancy Vim Plugins. This is the first time I’ve seen a focus on the visual effect of the plugins rather than the underlying task. Something you wouldn’t expect for a terminal-style editor – and a good ( [...]
In Other BSDs for 2019/01/05

Tom Smyth has another article (and video) for us:
Ingo Schwarze (schwarze@) delivered a great talk on documentation in EuroBSDCon 2018.
Ingo\'s slides have been on-line since September at OpenBSD events.html under the EuroBSD Con 2018. Anyone who follows the mailing lists would see Ingo\'s consistent attention to detail. In this talk [...]
BSD Now 279: Future of ZFS
As you may have guessed, this week’s BSD Now talks about the change of ZFS code origin in FreeBSD. There’s of course other things linked, including this tattoo.

I\'ve finished the process of upstreaming patches to LLVM sanitizers (almost 2000LOC of local code) and submitted to upstream new improvements for the NetBSD support.
Today out of the box (in unpatched version) we have support for a variety of compiler-rt LLVM features:
ASan (finds unauthorized memory access), UBSan (finds unspecified code se [...]

On your next DragonFly upgrade, watch the end of your ‘make upgrade’ output. You may have some deprecated files, especially if your system has been upgraded through several releases.

Why Ravenports?
Eerielinux has a new Ravenports article: Ravenports explained: Why not just join XYZ? I am linking it now because it’s DragonFly related, but it does touch on all the BSDs. It reviews the reasons for Ravenports – and its competitive advantages, if you look at it a certain way. It’s a followup to the Ravenports update and [...]

Current FreeBSD versions will allow you to create a zroot zpool from which you can boot. However, when I created the main zpool for slocum (on Fri May 3 2:16 2013), that option did not exist.
You might ask: how do I know that date?

NYCBUG: OpenBSD with Brian Callahan
NYCBUG’s January meeting kicks off the new year, with an OpenBSD presentation by Brian Callahan on January 2nd. That’s this Wednesday, right after New Year’s Day. At the time I’m writing this, I don’t have the meeting agenda, but don’t let that stop you from attending, if you are near.
