There's a fun presentation that I could offer from my workstation builds involving GhostBSD: "SED/OPAL full disk encryption on NVMe, tuning EPYC Zen5 and ZFS mirror for the OS".

Clearly that would need a better name, but there's some usefulness given that Ghost doesn't support the usual GELI encryption scheme in the installer, and then... FDE with SED has no processing overhead like GELI, no perf io reduction required. Zen4 and Zen5 benefit from quite a bit of system tuning for FreeBSD based workstations, so that's important for considerations.

Once the movers stop holding my homelab hostage and deliver my life's belongings, then I'll be able to generate a presentation on the subject. Apparently, "it's on a truck", still... nearly one month after moving. Fun times.

The day I had to shutdown github sponsors was devastating, it was me admitting that my time as an engineer was over.

Being wrong is the best thing in the world ...

I had a discussion about the fundamentals proposed by the book "The Cathedral and the Bazaar."

I still consider the #OSS "bazaar" a superior way to produce products vs. the closed source "cathedral" approach.

Yet, OSS no longer seems sustainable for new, large, complex products. Thoughts?

Just donated 20€ to @fosdem because it's existence change my life radically 21 years ago. In great part thanks to @nitot

If you haven’t done this yet, I highly recommend you install Libation and liberate your audiobooks from Audible.

It’s been a month since I first learned of this fantastic, free, libre, open-source project from u/darchangel(not sure if they’re on the fediverse). And unlike so many other OSS projects this one is dead simple to use, accessible to the less technical, and very well documented.

I was able to download my entire Audible audiobook library, with included documents, in just minutes.
