After you compiled and installed a new version of FreeBSD, use etcupdate(8) to merge
configuration updates.
Run "etcupdate extract" once when your sources match your running system, then run
"etcupdate" after every upgrade and "etcupdate resolve" to resolve any conflicts.

@mwk@donotsta.reWanda is it anywhere as bad as this?
Interviewed on Al Jazeera today about ICE killing Alex Pretti and Renee Good, and made it a point to speak the names of all 9 people ICE has killed so far in 2026. Including Keith Porter, Parady La, Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.
We need unity of humanity against fascism and autocracy.
Will share the interview when it goes live.

Great news today the French government have launched their own Visio video conferencing tool #digitalsovereignty
But the PR stories, while explaining it is French built, don't mention it is Open Source and based on LiveKit - so any government can reuse what they have done.
If you write about the messy reality behind "free" internet services: we're seeing #OpenStreetMap hammered by scrapers hiding behind residential proxy/embedded-SDK networks. We're a volunteer-run service and the costs are real. We'd love to talk to a journalist about what we're seeing + how we're responding. #AI #Bots #Abuse

ICE watchers with cell phones are just as vital to accountability journalism as old-school whistleblowers.
Shooting, killing and otherwise targeting them is an attack on press freedom and transparency.

this is my friend Rocky. he seems to enjoy doing this. he will keep jumping back on my hand and make his little abrupt ‘coo’ sound until we do this. i think he is a gamer. i think this is a sort of gamer challenge to him

I keep thinking of that phrase — something like, “They reduce the meaning of the word to that which their machines can achieve.” And now I just see it everywhere.
- They made artificial "intelligence".
- They made a "browser" in a weekend.
- They added “presence” to the UI.
Rich human concepts narrowed to fit what a technology can achieve, then they lay claim to the name.

UK PEOPLE: this is REALLY IMPORTANT. If the government bans under-16s from using VPNs, then logically they must intend to REQUIRE AGE VERIFICATION FOR ALL VPN USE. Which will affect adults too!

also: do i believe that there are CEOs who want to use this to discipline labor? absolutely. i don't think they're *all* liars. but the companies who started by trying to do this (klarna, for example) are already seeing that it was a mistake

TAKE ACTION: No tech for ICE!
Today we're launching an action aimed at 🇨🇦 company Hootsuite 🦉, a registered B corp required by its certification to respect human rights... and a company actively seeking a billion dollar "social listening" contract with ICE.
If you want to tell them to tear those contracts up and permanently guarantee they will never provide their tools to ICE or DHS, take 30 seconds to speak up here!
but again, a CEO making a bad decision about a company's future means consequences, and so just simply saying "well that's a bad decision" doesn't help the people who get laid off when bad decisions mean bad things happen for the company

Alright Mastodon, I'm looking for work.
Senior software developer, specializing in low-level, embedded, and systems programming. Previous work includes video compression (developer on AV1 and AV2), silicon verification, and scientific/numerical software. Full CV/resume available on request.
Primarily looking for remote work, but would consider in-person in the UK if the circumstances are right.
Available for either contract work through the company I run (easiest route if you're outside the UK), or direct employment.

Cloudflare just published a vibe coded blog post claiming they implemented Matrix on cloudflare workers. They didn't, their post and README is AI generated and the code doesn't do any of the core parts of matrix that make it secure and interoperable. Instead it's littered with 'TODO: Check authorisation' and similar

Always really liked the instrument icons in Logic Pro and GarageBand. They’re so detailed and well rendered, but also not too realistic and still icon-y. And all the easter eggs…
