from yesterday.

There was a bit more red in it than what my phone captured.

The slides for my #EuroBSDCon talk are now online. The presentation is about the rc ecosystem in FreeBSD (i.e., the init system, service scripts, etc.).

@bcantrill Has anyone presented you with the different stylizations that NVIDIA has had over the years?

I’m pretty sure it’s a case of brand-dating, where you can tell when someone got involved with it, by how it’s stylized, as they’ve variously used nVIDIA, nVidia, Nvidia, and NVIDIA over the years.

@jimsalter The atlas nodes that @allanjude mentioned on do exist all over the world - for example, here’s the round-trip time to a bunch of fixed destinations: atlas.ripe.net/results/maps/rt

They "recently" (meaning since I last checked) also implemented a software probe, that you can throw at your hypervisor: atlas.ripe.net/docs/howtos/sof

So now there’s no excuse :flan_evil: :flan_cool:

MachineA: would you like to hear a #UDP joke?

MachineB: that sounds lovely, yes please!

MachineA: THAT'S MY PURSE, I DON'T KNOW YOU!

@jimsalter I've been going through old episodes of and in one you mentioned putting up a httpd listening on 80 and 443, but if the goal is to ensure that a DNS lookup doesn't go through, a better solution is to simply NXDOMAIN the entire thing.
This is also exactly what github.com/cyclaero/void-zones does.

@[email protected] There’s at least one person who appreciates your Unix jokes.

Though getting a PDP-11 up and running now just to run hack would be quite a feat, and I’d love to see it done.

Nethack could almost run on a dumb terminal.

My #FreeBSD port security/portacl-rc just landed.

It's a friendlier alternative to configuring mac_portacl, which allows fine-grained control over who gets to bind to privileged ports. e.g. to run a webserver as user www:

sysrc portacl_users+=www portacl_user_www_tcp="http https" portacl_user_www_udp="https"
service enable portacl
service start portacl

Plan is to knock any rough edges off, make sure the bikeshed is an agreeable colour, and get it into base.

Just finished watching a vlog by @Graham_LRR in which he mentions light sensitivity, and that made me remember that I experience light sensitivity much stronger after chemo than I did before going through therapies back in 2016.

So now I can't help but wonder if that's more common than I assumed.

@jimsalter Regarding the 2.5 admins conversation on the question of when we’re gonna get away from dual-stacked IPv4+IPv6, I once made some statistical calculations which suggested that IPv6 would experience address space exhaustion before we got completely rid of IPv4.

Naturally there were a bunch of assumptions about life-cycles that I had to make and which have since changed, but I’m not convinced it isn’t still a worry.. :flan_heckk:

Unfortunately, a acheduling conflict preventas me from getting to this year. 😞

Finally managed to pick up some medicine, after it’d gone into backorder, because there is exactly one company in the whole world that produces it, and apparently increased sales meant that they ran out of one of the ingredients.

Waking up to M.I.S.A by SoundTeMP is something that I don't think I've done since I played Granado Espada.

I'm not sure it's possible to find a piece of that's more got more feeling of summer to it than Groove Armada's use of two 50s samples for a vocal and a brass instrument combined with a sample from the 80s of a drum beat.
