As you read this, I am probably watching a storage processor reboot.

- Sirius, for talking to computers like all the big companies are doing – but open source! (via many places)
- Smart City.
- “Everybody“. The section on a car rebooting gave me pause.

- USB Type C.

- The Worst Internet Things. Seems like a cheesy list, but these things are really quite awful. (via)
- The Humble Roguelike Bundle. Dunno if any of it runs on BSD… but that is far more likely these days.
- 17 years of curl. Same developer the whole time, which is neat. fetch(1) is 18.75 years old, for contrast. (via)

I’d love to see fewer developers demanding superficial perks, and more of them asking to have more time to contribute to the open source products we use, mentor young developers, and learning more about the space they occupy. All of those result in us growing as developers in more than just our coding skills.

About “USB Type C”. In comments suggested another “type” http://i.imgur.com/CyHAsMt.png
Hello, I’m a frequent lurker (1st time commenter), but I thought I’d mention something about that Humble Bundle. Almost every GOG game for Windows is running for me on FreeBSD via Wine these days, so I would not be too surprised if you had good luck there. I’m a pretty big fan of GOG’s business model, so I haven’t kept up with these Humble Bundles, but it wouldn’t surprise me. If not, there are quite a few roguelikes on GOG that you could get running via Wine.
