Wie gelangen Nutzerdaten von zum in den ?

Der CLOUD Act wird so häufig diskutiert wie falsch verstanden.

Vor allem aber wird fast immer ausgeblendet, dass amerikanische Behörden bevorzugt die internationale in Strafsachen nutzen, um an Daten zu gelangen, die in der Schweiz liegen.

Einen aktuellen Fall bei beschreibt @404mediaco404 Media:

steigerlegal.ch/2026/03/06/pro

Für mich überraschend: Proton wickelt Zahlungen über amerikanische Anbieter ab.

Oracle Updates Free Solaris CBE For Open-Source Developers / Non-Production Uses

Four years ago Oracle announced Solaris CBE as the "Common Build Environment" version of Solaris 11.4. Oracle Solaris CBE is made available as free for open-source developers and other non-production use. Oracle this week released a new version of Solaris CBE for those wanting this free* version of Solaris...

A few years ago I designed a way to detect bit-flips in Firefox crash reports and last year we deployed an actual memory tester that runs on user machines after the browser crashes. Today I was looking at the data that comes out of these tests and now I'm 100% positive that the heuristic is sound and a lot of the crashes we see are from users with bad memory or similarly flaky hardware. Here's a few numbers to give you an idea of how large the problem is. 🧵 1/5

Nobody on LinkedIn has ever had a bad day. Every setback is a "growth opportunity." Every firing is a "new chapter." Every complete professional disaster is framed as "excited to announce." These people would describe the Titanic as "a bold pivot to submarine operations."

I’ve been following the discussions about the name of my NetBSD project ("Jails for NetBSD") across a few platforms over the past days and really appreciate the thoughtful feedback.

The short version: the current prototype is probably closer to a cell or a cage than a strict jail, so the name might indeed not be perfect. The project originally started as an experiment inspired by FreeBSD jails, but while exploring NetBSD internals it evolved into something slightly different: controlled process isolation built around the secmodel framework, a different approach for the tool chain and configuration, and without resource limits and network virtualization.

Because of that, I’m open to renaming the project at this stage.

I’ve attached a small poll with a few candidate names — please vote if you like.
And if the right name isn’t listed yet, feel free to drop suggestions in the comments 🙂

Project site: netbsd-jails.petermann-digital

A funny thing happened today: after a meeting I ended up on the phone with a former colleague and we drifted into the ongoing “is it really jails?” naming discussion around my NetBSD experiment.

He pointed me to the FreeBSD Handbook and suggested I look again at how jails are actually described there. That sent me down a small rabbit hole. The more I read, the less clear-cut the distinction felt.

At the lowest level, FreeBSD jails are essentially a kernel mechanism that attaches an identity to processes and restricts visibility and interaction. Many things people associate with “modern jails” today - VNET networking, ZFS-based setups, orchestration frameworks - often live a layer above that core mechanism in tools like BastilleBSD and similar projects.

Interestingly, FreeBSD’s own docs sometimes describe jails as the subsystem that enables containers, and the industry term “container” shows up quite regularly there as well. FreeBSD can even run OCI containers via the Linux compatibility layer. Which made me wonder: have “jails” gradually become something like a brand name for the FreeBSD flavor of containers in people’s minds?

I’m honestly still undecided. The more I read, the more it feels like the answer depends a lot on the perspective and background one brings to these terms.

Curious what the poll will say — please vote if you haven’t yet. And if the right name isn’t listed, feel free to drop suggestions in the comments 🙂

Found that released new Branch of their 595.45.04.

For :
nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/detai

counterparts:
nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/detai

Note that this won't appear in , as it's "Beta".
"-devel" variants in ports are for whichever the newer of "New Feature Branch (NFB)" or "Production Branch (PB)" of drivers.

Investigating for future NFB or PB upgrades, FreeBSD native driver ports should work by overriding version as usual.
But Linux counterparts (installed by overriding version of x11/linux-nvidia-libs{-devel}) need some fixes.

Beware! This version does NOT work on pre-Turing generations of GPUs, just as 590 series.

Designing appropriate cloud services for tech that can be ours ('ourtech') I'm learning how the scale of the operation (how many people using the tech in more or less intense ways) determines the apropriate deployment architecture. And that is key for long term sustainability.

Although technically this is above my head, I do want to get a basic understanding for the high level choices here. Basically I see various collectives use these strategies: 1) docker+ansible deployment, 2) docker+swarm+abra+ deployment (@coopcloud) or 3) kubernetes deployment.

Of course many variations and other scripting exist, but may be beyond the discussion here.

After the server slam, I had a feeling Marathon would be doing Tarkov numbers on Steam, rather than ARC Raiders, and I think that's where it looks like they're going to land. It's a little better than Destiny 2, which has had years of decline, and Tarkov, which has been in early access for years.

For an indie, these would be very respectable numbers.

For Bungie? For Sony? For the people who think Marathon comes at the expense of Destiny 3?

I do worry about their performance targets…

Marathon currently 31K players, 88K peak at launch yesterday
