You can guess what BSDNow is about this week, can’t you? Well, there’s more than just ZFS, though there’s an excellent historical summary on the site.
Backlog: cleared.

I’m late noting this week’s BSDNow – I’m also changing the capitalization, since BIND in this case is an acronym. No interview this week but discussion of various BSDCan 2017 reports.
This one wrote itself almost in one night from articles I had stored up.

Hey, BSDNow episode 201 took its title from something I already planned to link for In Other BSDs. This week has an interview with Peter McDonald and covers FreeNAS 11, among other things.
I am entertained by how Github seems to randomly burp up historical software artifacts on a semi-regular basis. (see link below)

BSDNow has reached the magic 200 episode mark, and this week they cover a nice wide range of topics – including Illumos!
Back to overflow, which sort of makes my life easier.

Should you need have Ubiquiti devices, and you need to get the Unifi management program running on your DragonFly server, this script will work for you. Some of the filepaths are different, but it’s otherwise complete.
No interview in this week’s BSDNow, but there’s a good run through recent BSD news, including some talk about a “Aeronix” machine project, which led me to some other interesting links.

Even more overflow, pushing my pre-published posts forward.

As BSDNow closes in on their double-century episode, this week does not have an interview but does dive into a number of topics.
A good chunk of this is overflow from last week.

Hey, there’s a new garbage!
No interview in this week’s BSDNow, but lots of news topics including a note about how easy it is to mitigate WannaCry problems using BSD technologies. Also of potential interest, it links to an in-depth look at how traffic shaping in pfSense was able to significantly improve a home internet connection, from someone whose job is to think about that sort of thing.
There’s been enough this week I’ve already started next week’s BSD entry.
