06/30 ⇒ Did VictoriaLogs miss any logs during the reboot? Yesterday, I modified r730-01 by Running pkgbasify on FreeBSD 15.0 – as a consequence, my log collecting jail was offline. Did it miss any logs? https://dan.langille.org/2026/06/30/did-victorialogs-miss-any-logs-during-the-reboot/

I added another step (currently 33) for misc/compat14x.

06/29 ⇒ relayd(8) and httpd(8) TLS settings update. Both relayd(8) and httpd(8) now have the "secure" list of allowed crypto methods for HTTPS, which include TLSv1.3 and the TLSv1.2 AEAD cipher suites. The previous list was "HIGH:!aNULL" which contain non-perfect-forward-security methods and this change may cause old clients to not be able to connect. https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20260629165750

06/29 ⇒ Linux 7.2 On Threadripper Shows Some Nice I/O Improvements & Faster Poll, Some Regressions I have begun testing out Linux 7.2 on more hardware following the winding down of the merge window and culminating with yesterday's Linux 7.2-rc1 release. Today's tests are looking at how Linux 7.2 in its early development state is comparing to Linux 7.1 stable on AMD Ryzen Threadripper. https://www.phoronix.com/review/linux-72-threadripper

06/28 ⇒ Linux 7.3 To Introduce DRM "Color Format" Property With AMD GPU Driver Support While the Linux 7.2 kernel merge window is only ending later today to cap off the feature work on this next version of the Linux kernel, already for the Linux 7.3 kernel cycle later in the year there is one notable feature on the way: the DRM color format property is being introduced and being first supported by the AMDGPU kernel graphics driver. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-7.3-DRM-Color-Format

I have requested deletion of my Bugzilla accounts. Second email sent (to bugmeister) this evening.

Hi! So I have a small VPS with OpenBSD on it and I anticipate that disk space will not be enough, so my question is, if I know that I will never compile the whole system from source, can I just repurpose the space allocated to /usr/obj and /usr/src and mount those partitions where they're needed? Or is this a really really bad idea? It would free up about 10GB (out of 40GB total).

@lproven also: https://github.com/FreeBSDFoundation/proj-laptop/issues/28― the linked 'KDE with Wayland' document puts KDE in context (with Xfce and others). It's very likely that issue 28, or the linked document, has been in conversation before … I don't expect things such as these to be imprinted upon people's memories Cc @dexter @alfonsosiciliano @grahamperrin@billboard.bsd.cafe

Linus? Polished? Business like? I mean, he isn't Theo, but he has..... a way with people.

I sought advice in Matrix, then ran a command: ubuntu-bug qutebrowser End result: Bug #2158488 “qutebrowser crashes when starting” : Bugs : qutebrowser package : Ubuntu

Four hours ago: … critical services used by the human #FreeBSD community are either down, or so degraded they are mostly unusable, by AI scrapers. … Does anyone know which services are, or were, down? https://bsd.network/@dch/116816905361984918

NIS+ got removed from Solaris back at the end of 2009. So it got removed from OpenSolaris and thus illumos, as that was before the fork. This was announced long before. As a heavy NIS+ user at the time, we were somewhat dismayed to read the announcement. Sun said it would be no problem, LDAP was a superior replacement. We actually tried LDAP, and to call it an unmitigated disaster would be far too generous. Apart from the excessive hardware requirements, endless bugs, woeful performance, and lack of basic functionality, there was an almost total lack of administrative tooling. My understanding is that NIS itself is also slated for the chop in Solaris 11 at some point. In theory, you could reinstate NIS+ in illumos - we have the whole commit history so reverting 6874309 wouldn't be so bad. Whether you could get it to work properly is another matter.

The redditor wrote: … Thank you, Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds, for this freedom and cooperation. … grahamperrin said: some suspicion that AI was involved Twisting the original statement, I asked Reddit (in a private browsing window): Do Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds cooperate with each other? Sourced from thirteen subreddits, Reddit's AI-generated answers began: Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds do not actively cooperate; their relationship is often characterized by ideological differences rather than direct collaboration. While both are foundational figures in free and open-source software, their distinct philosophies and approaches have led to a separation in their work. …

Good for you! I've lost count of the number of problems with Nvidia on Linux, whereas AMD's support is simply excellent—or is becoming so… If the situation is better with FreeBSD, so much the better. On OpenBSD, it's better to have an AMD than an Nvidia!
