@paco i was just today starting to do this exact thing. I glanced over yout instructions and i didn’t see any links to places to get the strip leds. I found a couple, but do you have any you recommend? (Looking for ~1000 leds per strip at between 5 and 10 cm pitch)

holy crap is my timeline on fire as 2ish days of content drops into place. 😆

yay... back. Server went down, hard. Ironically as I was bringing it down for an upgrade.

Out of extreme caution I very deliberately cross-checked integrity of all of the RAID arrays, databases,etc..

Can you use the ISO images as a livefilesystem (readwrite, preserve data across boots, etc)?

@lattera well... oh crap

@TechConnectify This video was fantastic, easily one of your best ever. Also, I live in Albany, NY... so you know another reason I love it. Fantastic.

@phen314 when the team was bad... so.. last week? ;)

@phen314 weird!

@phen314 Oh wait.. that's supposed to be an apple isn't it.. .ok, big apple.. I get that now.. what about the rest?

@phen314 could you ELI5 for me? I don't even get it!

@phen314 This you? 🤔

@jutty oh, I'll add another area to gain support for, and it should actually be pretty easy. E and P cores!

@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! 🙂
