A running description of activity related to DragonFly BSD.
I have been on the road so it’s a short week. The links are more cheery, though.
I’ve got some real gems this week.
Your unrelated extended music of the week: Bill Laswell featuring DJ Rob Swift – Reanimation. Which of course reminds me that Rob Gets Busy. If you like that, here’s a crazy amount of beat juggling, at its best when it creates new music and rhythms. (via)
The DragonFly release process now includes an automatic build of supporting packages.
Aaron Li has committed different crypto implementations for support.
Mini-theme is about building the Internet without platforms, or at least without ones designed to extract revenue from you.
Your difficult music link of the week: There Will Never Be Another Harry Partch.
Assuming the weather hasn’t interfered (I am preposting this), NYCBUG meets tonight.
ChiBUG meets tomorrow, in I assume the normal place.
Update: postponed due to weather.
Of course the first thing I did was type the wrong year into the title of this post.
Happy new year! More BSD content in this week’s summary than usual.
Your unrelated music of the week: Don Leisure, Halal Cool J. Music’s good, title’s hilarious. (via)
Yao Ge has created a new DragonFly mirror in Nanjing, China. It’s on the mirrors page too.
Merry almost Christmas!
Here’s a weird confluence of things all based on me searching out links and stories for this blog: Based on the recommendation of Cooking Issues listeners, I visited Hi-Collar last weekend, a Japanese kissaten (which I know of because of Craig Mod’s mailing list / book) while I stayed at St. Marks’s Hotel, which I know about through NYCBSDCon. Meal was good, and all these things would not have come together without these years of Lazy Reading posts.
ChiBUG is meeting in the normal place tomorrow on the 19th. Go, if you are near. (Plans changed after I posted this.)
Old hardware – really old – minitheme.
If you have a TP-Link TL-WN722N v2 wireless adapter, you are in luck.
No theme other than maybe interesting hardware.
Elements of dsynth, the mass package builder for DragonFly, are now appearing in the base system. It looks like this is most helpful for building packages as part of the base install, but there might be other applications.
This is mostly an ID change, but the Mercusys MW150US USB wifi adapter is now supported in DragonFly.
I missed last week because of a time crunch at 2 jobs, but at least I can make this week up.
The monthly ChiBUG meeting is tomorrow at the normal location.
