My 88th blog post, a number considered lucky in many parts of Asia, was featured in the latest #BSDNow episode. The twist? It was covered in episode 666. 😈 Coincidence? 🤔 www.bsdnow.tv/666

One ZAP entry. One uint64_t in spa_t. One new CLI flag. That's all it took to teach #OpenZFS to skip blocks the last scrub already verified. `zpool scrub -C` ships in 2.4.0. oshogbo.com/blog/89/ #FreeBSD #Linux #sysadmin #devops #storage

Continuing the Aruba Cloud subject - I have packed up things and migrated out. Here's my story: oshogbo.com/blog/87/ #FreeBSD #OpenZFS #Cloud

If you haven’t noticed, freebsd.org has a new look.

Well it seems I have to migrate from Aruba Cloud they do not support #FreeBSD any longer :(

Well, I thought my next printer would be a @bambulabglobal.bsky.social... Now I’m not so sure anymore: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb48...

Maybe it’s time to get back to blogging… even in the age of all-knowing LLMs. I have a feeling that “field experience” posts are something people are still looking for. oshogbo.com/blog/85 Let me know what you think.

A few years ago, companies protected their source code at all costs - security, paranoia. Today: upload everything to two companies because they have an LLM. #Security evolves.

Amazing website for testing SSL certificates: badssl.com - thank you for it!

Another Git tip I learned this week. I was tired of a file (e.g. package-lock) flooding me with changes I didn’t want to commit. git update-index --skip-worktree package-lock.json This makes it silent. Once and for... until you need it back: git update-index --no-skip-worktree package-lock.json

New theory: developers aren’t destroying your codebase. Deadlines are. Thoughts?

Small Git tip I found while exploring #GitHub This config line: ``` [url "[email protected]:org/"] insteadOf = github.com/org/ ```

Today I was tasked with finding a niche operating system, and I came across Fuchsia - Google’s “general-purpose, modern, open-source operating system.”

That’s a story worth sharing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQyk...

Well, I guess I’ve built my own KVM :)

Dear all, triggering another AWS Lambda on success or failure only works with asynchronous invocations. Thanks, Another “I learned this the hard way” person

I love open source. If a function is missing, you can simply add it yourself.

I love that somebody took the time to do this Sisyphean work of collecting the EoL dates for all major open-source software. Check it out: endoflife.date

The #FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report is out! 🔗 www.freebsd.org/status/repor...

I like to play with languages. Recently, I tested #Rust, and I must say it's one of those languages that could be a game changer - as a replacement for C++. However, I've also noticed a new rising star: #Zig. Maybe it's time to play with it as well... ziglang.org/devlog/2025/...

I just learned about this interesting project sponsored by the FreeBSD Foundation: a GUI for managing bhyve, aiming to be a BSD alternative to Proxmox. I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops. github.com/AlchemillaHQ...

Sticking with the topic of Duolingo, it seems that it's yet another company adopting an 'AI-first' approach. www.theverge.com/news/657594/...

Can you learn a new language using only Duolingo? I just read an article claiming plenty of people have done exactly that—thanks solely to Duolingo. I haven’t used it in ages, but when I did, it was just a fun way to play with words and pick up a few new ones. What’s your take?

Friendly reminder: strive to create more and consume less.

I wonder if anyone is working on an AI-specific language that isn’t human-readable but is optimized for generation by LLMs. Does that even make sense?

Wow, Skype was one of the first voice communicators I ever used. I consider it an Internet legacy. However, it seems the opportunity for growth was missed, and players like Apple, Facebook, and Signal have taken over the pedestal of voice communication.

DeepSeek has released 3FS – a high-performance distributed file system built to tackle the challenges of AI training and inference workloads. It’s exciting to see fresh innovations around file systems, especially when we often assume these issues are already solved.

Great advice on Git settings! I think many of these should be the default.

I think smartwatches should add a new exercise: “Putting a kid to bed.” Obviously, it belongs under “Extreme Sports.”

My favorite thing about 3D printing? Bad leveling. </sarcasm>

This story reminds me of my childhood. As a kid, I never wondered why it was designed that way. Then, when I was older, I got a computer that could turn itself off - so I never revisited the question. This little story unravels a childhood mystery :) devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/...

Just a friendly reminder: if you want to use an automounted nullfs on #FreeBSD, try these two commands. Nullfs lets you mirror a directory at a new location so any changes appear in both places (like a bind mount on Linux).
