@jutty hmm.. I tend to go for the larger and more well known (and expensive) brangs; Lenovo, Dell, HP, etc. So definitely gong to be a bias there towards more standard parts (like I have an em wired ethernet and an iwlwifi on this.. pretty stock chips).

I could see an issue getting a rando laptop from walmart or off of amazon.

@jutty ah, neat. I run freebsd on my daily driver laptop. It actually works pretty well. Wifi works, graphics works, audio, etc.

Power management even.. sometimes works!

In terms of things I think are most valuable; thunnderbolt, and the more advanced power management things (like suspend to disk). Other than that it is just to get things supported SOONER (as in sooner to tech being released)

@jutty wait... what? deets?

9.9 in cups? sorry, not buying it. if it was in openssh MAYBE, but really 9.9 IME is kernel level ,and it has to be RCE. 'ping of death',etc. isn't 9.9.

@lattera well, that is pretty obnoxious; I don't even have those files on a checkout, so I cannot even build by default now; I wonder if my tree even "works" with this merge now

@stefano saw you gave a presentation at eurobsdcon. And on a topic that is close and passionate to me (data ownership).

Didn’t realize how influential you were in the community; definitely honored that I got your followback! 🙂

oops... forgot ssl cert renewal... 📉

Saw this on twitter (@ryanrwinchester) and I couldn't help posting it here; really sums up my hate of colored languages.

@lattera wow.. that is a lot of updates

@stefano @kasperd @oxyhyxo ditto. Self host here across a few different areas. Zero issues. AND I don't need to worry about getting cut off because my account gets stolen, compromised, credit card gets stolen,etc. etc. etc.

And it takes SO LITTLE TIME.

@LilahTovMoon I would say it also implies the existence if ViQueens (which sounds pretty cool!) and EmaKings (and respectfully I'd suggest changing the spelling to EmaQueens).. which also sounds pretty cool!

@phen314 ah; 2 imposters

@phen314 vote on 7?

Just kicked the hornets nest a bit with 3 Phabricator reviews that haven't moved in months. #FreeBSD 😡
