Nice UI for downloading and playing with LLMs locally: https://github.com/janhq/jan?tab=readme-ov-file
Meet JankyNAS - old computer I had running FreeNAS died ~5 years ago and I never took the time to get it back up an running. This weekend while cleaning out my "computer junk" I found my old XPS 13 (with a hugely bloated battery). Pulled out the battery, had to install an OS to a thumbdrive, connected the ethernet dongle from my PineBook, tossed the old data drives in a USB drive thingy and.... the ZFS volume came up w/out any trouble. Consider me surprised. JankyNAS is now running an up to date version of TrueNAS and I'm happy that the 22,000 photos on the drives are still readable. Now I gotta get this puppy properly backed up.
@cadey - did you see this? https://numenvoice.com/ (voice control)
Try out 12 languages in 2023 with exercism's 12in23 challenge. I already started with Rust, I'm sure I can find 11 other languages to try. https://exercism.org/challenges/12in23 #12in23
@cadey -- finally got around to trying out tailscale... holy crap is it easy to setup.

The #OpenBSD Foundation is currently at ~$120,000 (40%) raised of the $300,000 goal for their 2022 Fundraising Campaign, and it's already almost December. 🐡
That's annoying...

Best of all: tomorrow, I get to shut up about it! 
Humble bundle has 100% figured out how to take all my money. #ebooks #bundles #toocheapnottobuy

So I wrote a new little log entry about snmp and how to gather information on your system.

#OpenSSH gained a new ssh_config(5) option, 'EnableEscapeCommandline' which controls the ~C escape command line, which now defaults to "off".
Because of this, ssh(1) client now has a tighter runtime pledge(2) promise on #OpenBSD, in the best case down to "stdio proc tty".
Very cool!

Issue #12 
- 
@nova - tried to buy an epub version of your book, but amazon seems to only want to send it to a kindle device (I have a kobo). Can I send you some cash and have you send me an epub file directly (I bought the hardback, but want the digital version too).

"It has been known in the DNS community for years, probably decades that getaddrinfo(3) is too lenient what it accepts [..] Unfortunately this information never made it out of the DNS community and no coordinated effort happened to have this addressed in operating systems."
Interesting!

"David Leadbeater recently demonstrated how ssh(1) and ftp(1) are too trusting with what getaddrinfo(3) accepts. Both have been fixed independently of this."

@jcarnat any chance you have a link to the grafana dashboard json from your article: https://www.tumfatig.net/2022/ads-blocking-with-openbsd-unbound8/ ?
What do you call war driving when the wifi hotspots are driving to you and you're just sitting at home collecting them? @ax0n any ideas? War couch surfing?
4 weeks in as a SDM at Ubisoft in the Engineering and Platform department, lots of fun so far. We're basically abstracting AWS, GCP, and our own datacenter to provide managed k8s, compute, storage, etc to our developers. I love dev tooling, so it's a perfect place for me (except for the windows laptop, but hopefully that will be fixed soon).
Crisis averted, I'm able to get a Linux laptop at work instead of Windows! At least, that's what I hear. The request is in, we'll see how long it takes!
Starting a new job on Monday and have a Windows PC for the first time in 20 years... any tips to make it more comfortable for a Unix user?
