Hey FreeBSD people :)

I have a particular service in one of my (many) jails, which I need to run as root, so it can manage the jailed ZFS datasets properly.

To achieve this, I guess editing the rc script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ would be the easiest option, but is it the best one?

As I don't know if the rc script could get overwritten in the future by pkg update, I would probably edit a copy and create a symbolic link to it.

Is this something that you would do as well?

【BUILT-IN PRO 電器專門店特約】美國佛羅里達州一隻名為「Splash」的水獺因具備高度嗅覺天賦，被訓練員發掘並培訓成為水中搜救成員。不足4個月時間便掌握基礎搜索技巧，首次任務已協助警方破案，現已成為多宗案件的重要力量。

「Splash」自4個月大起由訓練員Michael Hadsell培育，透過氣味辨識進行水底搜索訓練。Hadsell以三文魚作獎勵，讓牠在岸邊辨識落入水中的死者物品，並建立追蹤能力。憑敏銳嗅覺及學習能力，「Splash」極速掌握技巧，達到搜救基礎要求。

其首個任務在阿拉巴馬州進行，協助警方尋回一宗25年前謀殺案的凶器。任務成功後，「Splash」能力備受肯定，其後更參與逾20次行動，曾尋回4名失蹤者遺骸。Hadsell估計現年約兩歲的「Splash」仍可服役約7至8年，成為搜救隊伍的重要助手。

How UI degrades over time.

Top (Windows 95): great contrast, obvious shapes. Instantly readable.

Middle (Windows 11): shapes are still self-explanatory, but contrast is gone.

Bottom (Windows 11 Insiders): what am I even looking at? The only shape I can understand here is the Run button. Barely visible, though.

Then, on the left, there’s another something that says Run and has an icon. What is it? A window title? Another button? Why does it have to say Run twice?

We're at the halfway point of and I've been having a blast.

For me, one the best parts is getting to learn from other people as there are so many ways to solve these puzzles.

Here's a thread of some wonderful people whose solutions and explanations I enjoy reading.

Finally, after a big hiatus, here is a new Exploring Uncut post: Embedded Swift, Egg and Meta news.

Exploring Uncut - December 6th, 2025

Introduction I’ve had drafts of Exploring Uncut posts on my computer for months now. They contain bullet points of things I wanted to talk about, sometimes with additional notes, sometimes a draft of a few paragraphs. But as time went by, the potential post only became bigger and the time it would take me to finish it would only grow. So here’s a new post focusing on what I’m working on right now.

LeetCode is popular, not because it works. Nah, it's for another reason.

It makes the interviewer feel good.

There's comfort in having a "objective" measure. A binary pass/fail or even a grade. It reduces the anxiety of making a hiring decision, makes it seem closer to "fair".

We choose the metric that's easiest to measure, not the one that's most predictive of success. Then we convince ourselves it's the right metric because it's the one we have data on.
