:flan_hacker: TIL that, if you have a USB soundbar connected to your #OpenBSD laptop, it is better to use sndiod -f rsnd/0 -F rsnd/1 than sndiod -f rsnd/1 (to force USB only). The first one works nice. The second seems to bring high latency on mpv and weird sound rendering on vlc.

I finally released Maolan, DAW for and ! It was a great joy learning all about and in a project for production. I'm sorry to say that and are still not supported by the underlying libraries, but once they are, I'll work on support for those operating systems. On the other hand, Windows proved to be near impossible to support, so I removed the support for it. Maybe at some point my best man will add OSX support, but as their baby is on the way, I wouldn't count on it. Anyway, the site is maolan.github.io and the only missing piece is "support the project", because I'm in Serbia. Enjoy!

New checkpoint of the NetBSD jails prototype. Clean rebase on NetBSD 11 with no changes to existing upstream code except a bugfix. Also a new evaluation ISO based on NetBSD 11 RC1 (2026-03-05). Next experiments will explore non-user rlimits in the jail context and additional kauth gates (e.g. maxproc at fork).

@TomAoki @vermaden @Tubsta @FreeBSDFoundation Happy to see some folks from Eastern Europe in that e-mail thread, who know how to properly response to such bureacratic madness and stupidity :drgn_aww: and understand how the bureacracy works:

> They can introduce any law with zero accountability on their own.
