Is this the way? 🤔

Wikipedia signs deals with Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, saying AI firms should pay 'fair share'

AI firms need to pay ‘fair share’ for using Wikipedia, founder says

The founder of the platform says large language models have been ‘hammering’ Wikipedia’s servers and AI companies should “chip in and pay fair share”.

I forked FreeBSD.

Not to compete. Not to build a distro. To break things.

ChaosBSD is a driver proving ground - a place for half-working hardware, reverse-engineered drivers, vendor trash, and speculative hacks that upstream can't (and shouldn't) accept.

amd64 only. Blobs allowed (marked). Panics expected.

The goal? Get drivers working, clean them up, upstream them, delete them from ChaosBSD.

Success == code deleted.

ChaosOS will keep it upstream sync but will have extra drivers, uncompleted, unstable.

I have build a bunch of drivers recently, either by porting or reverse engineering, but they are unstable.

Broadcom Wifi that reset after 18h ( probably forgot to add some hook), Bluetooh dongles from aliexpress that need exotic delays...

ChaosBSD is the place where we merge and work togheter, once the driver is civilized , we open a DIFF upstream.

This will avoid losing time and eventually burning out the maintainers.

Has anyone successfully used these FreeBSD Project-provided virtual machine disk images?

FreeBSD-14.3-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-zfs.qcow2

FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-zfs.qcow2

FreeBSD-16.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-zfs-20260113-2b60e628d3b1-283055.qcow2

Not booting for me in QEMU. Respectively:

@catsaladCat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch) :paw:⁠:paw: We made 2 quick variants 🤭

Marked them as sensitive, in case anybody hasn't already seen the horror short Don't Peek or doesn't want to 🫶

(If you briefly saw the versions where we mistyped "kernel" as "kernal", then hastily deleted and redrafted the post to give us time to correct the error across both images, oh no you didn't 😅🤦‍♀️)

Screenshot from horror short "Don't Peek", at around 4 minutes 12 seconds. It shows a Nintendo switch screen, being played in a dark room with joycons. The game shown is Animal Crossing New Horizons... or at least a facsimile of it. It shows a fem-looking player in their room. A door is open with a dark, ominous, mostly unseeable figure standing in the doorway... largely with its eyes visible. Text on the bottom of the screen asks: "Let kernel post to Mastodon?" A response box to the right and up has options for "Yes" and "No". The selection icon (a hand with a pointing finger) is to the left of "Yes".Screenshot from horror short "Don't Peek", at around 4 minutes 12 seconds.

Artemis II Rollout (NHQ202601170001)

The mobile launcher with NASA’s Artemis II Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft secured to it is seen inside the Vehicle Assembly Building following the opening of the doors before rolling out to Launch Pad 39B, Saturday, Jan. 17, 2026, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA’s Artemis II test flight will take Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialist Christina Koch from NASA, and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen from the CSA (Canadian Space Agency), around the Moon and back to Earth no later than April 2026.

Dass viele von uns ihre Freizeit bei Feuerwehr, Sanitätsdienst, im Gemeinderat oder in anderen zivilgesellschaftlichen Organisationen verbringen und damit den Staat in seiner Arbeit massivst unterstützen ist ein Fakt, den diese Person und ein Großteil der Bundesebene dieser Partei permanent komplett ignoriert - auch gegen die Interessen seiner eigenen Mitglieder.
