A running description of activity related to DragonFly BSD.
A little short today but still good links.
Half a year til Christmas!
Tomohiro Kusumi’s offline HAMMER2 support continues, with ‘setcheck’ (check code) and ‘setcomp’ (compression type) support. See the hammer2(8) man page for what those options do.
You can now create, delete, and snapshot PFS on HAMMER2 even when the drive isn’t mounted; Tomohiro has added offline support.
It’s a presentation on backups.
ChiBUG’s meeting in person tomorrow at 6, at the usual location. Go, if you are near.
Whee
the nvme(4) driver now prints a detailed message about I/O errors. It’s great that it does that, hope you never see it.
The writeup sounds fun. Go if you are near, 6:45 PM tonight. It may be getting streamed, too.
Update: the recording.
Take a look even if you aren’t going, to see what people are researching. (via)
Still working through a lot of open tabs.
Your unrelated music of the week: Buck 65, an “uptempo rewind to the Golden Age of hip hop”. (via)
You can now clean up, grow, and destroy HAMMER2 volumes, even when they are not mounted. There’s also an emergency mode, though I’m not clear on when you’d invoke it.
A short list this week. I’m heading into the final month(s) of an ERP replacement projects at one of my jobs, so it ain’t going to get better for a while.
For some reason smbios device support always gave me trouble on every laptop I worked on for the 2000s. So, this support for smbios identification on EFI-only boots is good news to me.
Events and crazy things are the mini themes this week.
Your unrelated music of the week: rekt.network. (via)
If you want to present a paper, or were thinking about presenting at EuroBSDCon, today’s the deadline for getting it in.
Smushing BSD and Lazy Reading links together into one, again. Tell me if that’s good or bad from where you’re standing.
Your unrelated music of the week: DRASS – see it, say it, slaughtered. Another band name for Shardcore, which I have linked before. AI generated visuals if you can’t tell.
SEMIBUG’s having a presentation on CARP tomorrow. It’s being given by Nick Holland who has a long presentation history. It’ll be online through Jitsi, so anyone can see it.
Nostalgia / game styling is the inadvertent theme of the week.
I’m glomming all BSD and not-BSD into these roundup posts. I don’t think they need to be separate.
