@mwl You were awesome.
That inspiring moment that you sense that @mwl is moonlighting for Devo.
@xenotrope It was a few days before!
What’s with the falling snow or dust effect on so many videos and am I supposed to add it to the weekly call recordings?

@gumnos Well, YOU'VE got swag. (As the cool kids say)
I don't see those "other" comments below! Shame on you! A Mastodon dies every time you answer an "other" poll question without adding a comment. (Ignoring the fact that they all died out long ago...)
How does your open source project or effort handle SWAG?

#mlmmj 2.2.0 is out!
- new control/subreleaseall: release all held mail from a sender in one go (great for patch series)
- $disarmedfrom$ is now RFC 2047 encoded, so mail clients display the disarmed address
- control/replyto and mlmmj-receive-strip are deprecated
- build fixed for GNU make and OpenBSD's make, iconv is now detected by configure
- memory fixes, French and Czech translations updated

GeTac laptops also take a beating and they run *BSDs:

Completely over engineered for abuse. They are NOT light weight however.

Anybody running lots of #FreeBSD 15.x systems who could run
netstat -nxptcp | grep -
And report back a % of machines that report any lines in addition to the header?
More details at https://reviews.freebsd.org/D58484 which is in STABLE but not RELEASE

Instead of:
A hill I'm willing to die on
I'm gonna start saying:
A hill I'm having a picnic on
Just... spreading out a nice blanket with a basket of food and staying on that hill for a long long time
✅ too many ppl dying already
✅ picnics are cozy n nice
✅ nobody wants to eject someone having a nice picnic on a hillside, so you will probably win

Holy moly, #GNU sed was immensely faster than #FreeBSD's #sed with the exact same command.
The BSD sed was taking minutes and not finishing at all, only writing about 64KiB of the file per second.
GNU sed finished the entire 34MiB file in a few seconds.
Weird.

Oy! Joined the Ozzyman game public beta?
@sng @mwl Worse, I sat down to document the disk replacement process by setting up a pool and… ejecting a drive.
“Weird. Maybe that one’s not part of the pool.”
Pop another one… “Um, wrong again? No kernel messages?”
Suddenly… perhaps upon a read: POOL FAULTED
So… the kernel has no notion of ZFS either?

@mwl Well, Ubuntu, on a good day.
Ahem. TrueNAS.
