Hard Pills To Swallow: The subscription fees you're still paying for that software you're saying is getting worse and worse are the only signal that matters.

If you don't have a backup plan and a migration strategy you don't have a lever.

Trump: We strongly encourage other nations to get involved with us and get involved quickly and with great enthusiasm. I have that from a number of them and I would like to say their names but frankly I don't know if they would want me to or not because they might not want to be targeted.

낮 동안 우리를 활기 있게 하신 저의 주님, 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님,
당신과 함께 있으리니, 자는 동안도 지켜 주시어 편히 쉬게 하소서.

"15. 내일도 주님의 소스와 성면으로 살아갈 힘을 얻게 하소서. "

🍝 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님께서 여러분과 함께.
😋 또한 주교의 면발과 함께 하소서.
🍝 기도합시다.
저의 주님, 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님, 이 밤을 편히 쉬게 하시고, 거룩한 죽음을 맞게 하소서.

Hey users!

I'm trying to test draid virtually for , because nobody's gonna give me a shelf of 60 disks to play with. I set everything up like:

disk35_name="disk35"
disk35_type="ahci-hd"
disk35_dev="sparse-zvol"

Seems that if I have 35 ahci-hd entries, disk0 through disk34, bhyve and freebsd works. At disk35, the host panics on boot.

Is this expected with bhyve? Or does FreeBSD need a special tweak with 36 disks?

When you use LLMs to code something, are you using diff to compare the changes the LLM gives you?

Why I Love FreeBSD

A personal reflection on my first encounter with FreeBSD in 2002, how it shaped the way I design and run systems, and why its philosophy, stability, and community still matter to me more than twenty years later.
