I aim to keep this to technical topics relating to bhyve and OpenZFS, and the occasional humor and Latvia.

My first round of observations on AI, surely to evolve but hopefully accurately capturing some of where we’re at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ssjq4w0g2Z-oGiDjU5F0itdpZZxHFl-jDAYylLEhD5M/edit
Not an endorsement of Docs but it was quick and allows for commentary.

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au @xenotrope@bsd.network Yes, but by the time I had any interest, the Baileys had turned to gelatin.

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au That would be @kylebe@mastodon.social and Capsule Jails. Reportedly there are mailing list posts.

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au @stufromoz@aus.social @tubsta@social.bsdlab.au I’ll request that they move AUS closer, though you probably won’t like the weather change.

@feld@friedcheese.us LOL I was driving behind my wife and her incoming call connected to the wrong car.
This I Learned: to confuse invaders, Brussels ofen has two names for train stations and posts their signs at least ten meters apart.
Your travel app gives one, and you see another out the window. Until of course you disregard the station and see the second sign after the doors have closed.
Diabolical.

I’m working on a series of comments relating to AI but luckily this popped into my head when scrolling…
Rule number one: Stay in control
In control of… the copyrights, the costs, the impacts, the narrative, the understanding, the history/log, the hardware, all of it.

I was concerned that #bhyvecon would be good, but not insane, but as of a few hours ago, it will be mildly insane. Please sponsor when you register to cover venue costs and gifts via https://bsdfund.org are always appreciated.
See you in Brussels and online.

Optional purchase if you can’t attend
Optional higher-grade items
