The #n4sa2e sponsor books have all been mailed (except for a couple problem cases) and are starting to arrive.
Which means I can probably tell folks about the #openzfsmastery sponsorship.

okay. #n4sa2e book production is complete. Time to get on #openzfsmastery.
Which means seriously getting to grips with #bhyve.
Did some bhyve experimenting a couple weeks ago. Got FreeBSD installed just fine. Debian with ZFS, not so much.
So this week it's go back, one step at a time. Install base debian with grub, does it work? Then UEFI, then ZFS secondary disk, then root on ZFS.
This morning's install ends with a console saying:
grub>
The Debian installer wrote grub to disk, but... didn't configure it? Huh.
Time for some classic #sysadmin headdesking.

Planning to use #freebsd #bhyve and vm-bhyve as a test bed for #openzfsmastery.
My 14-3-p4 host has em0 and em1. em0 is for host management, em1 is part of the vm-public bridge. I have a freebsd 14.3 VM installed with a tap0 in the bridge, no problem. em1 and vm-bridge do not have IP addresses.
Reboot, log in, start VM.
Ping from the host to the VM? ~45% packet loss.
Wait a few minutes, and packet loss gradually drops to 0.
Seems weird to me. Is this expected? Should I file a bug?

#FreeBSD has supported ZFS since 2008 and is considered a Tier 1 platform.
Ubuntu has supported ZFS since 2016 and is not.

Wow, getting ZFS-on-root on Linux is a PITA.
Looks like Ubuntu desktop installer is the easiest option. #openzfsmastery

Ah! Turns out this supermicro motherboard doesn't have a TPM. Win11 after 22H2 requires TPM 2.0.
I can buy an official SM TPM 1.2 module for $200, or a knock-off TPM 2.0 for $15. 
If the #n4sa2e Kickstarter or the #openzfsmastery sponsorships do well, I'm planning to switch my commercial systems to MacOS. All that hits in September.
But this TPM garbage makes me want to run a gofundme experiment -- "hey folks, give me $4k to switch to Mac so I can end the agony of Windows!"
Not gonna. That would be rude, and whiny, and selfish in a world full of pain. But soooo tempted...
