Yep, fall hits and it’s easier to find links.

• DragonFly morphology.  The insect, not the operating system, though that would make an interesting diagram.
• Stick your pinkie in the corner of your mouth, Dr. Evil style, and say, “One MEEELion TCP connections on BSD!“.  (via several retweets)
• Sudo vs. SSH public keys.
• The app store concept is taking over.  Not that it’s a totally bad thing!  We could implement one for pkgsrc, and should.  (via)
• A nice (OpenBSD-centric) walkthrough of routing.  (via)
• Ooh, decent disk benchmarks.  I wish there were graphs, of course.
• I think this happens to most CS grads; you sit around one day and say to yourself, “Hey, I could write an operating system!”  This forum post shows someone getting that idea and then realizing it’s not necessarily the goal he wanted.  Why do I link to it?  I appreciate the optimism.
• Or you can just build a functioning computer in Minecraft.  This sort of thing has been happening for a while – this movie is just a link to the craziest example I’ve seen so far.

Your unrelated link of the week: Scientific Illustration.  Not a comic, but still visually interesting.
