Will this weekend be when I finally install #freebsd on physical hardware, in preparation of becoming my new router?
So far, no. But only because my dedicated "installer" USB stick has a far-too-old version of Ventoy, and the FreeBSD loader doesn't like it. But I've found another suitable USB […]

I feel very embarrassed now. It's been 0 hours since I learned that the "Bastille" in #bastillebsd is not just a nod to the Parisian fortress and prison, but also alludes to Bastille, the container/jails manager. And Bastille has a template format that isn't too far off from Dockerfiles.

They're conning statistically unsophisticated, disappointed voters with impressive-looking, but meaningless, "analysis" that tell people what they want to believe.

My local transit authority recently updated to a real-time #gtfs data feed for buses in the region. But in the rollout, they left their old, static feed alive and that's caused every data sink (eg Transit App, Apple Maps, etc) to still use the old data.
I figured they'd notice eventually, but […]
