This week’s BSD Now is up, discussing a bunch of informational topics – including what’s happening with dsynth, how virtual memory works, streaming on NetBSD, and other links.

vBSDCon 2019 starts tonight and runs for 2 days – go if you are near.

I don’t know if it’s going to be streamed, but if tonight’s NYCBUG meeting and presentation is streamed, it’ll be visible here.  (Preposting so I don’t miss it.)

Roy Marples has brought in version 8.0.4 of dhcpcd(8); it’s definitely up to date since he’s the author.  It does DHCP, DHCPv6, and IPv4LL/ZeroConf, the last of which I’ve only seen on Apple machines before.  Someone want to try Network Configurator with it?

Tomorrow’s NYCBUG meeting is “Setting up a convenient working environment“, with Ivan Ivanov.   Go, if you are near.  It will be streamed but I don’t have a link for that at the time I’m writing this.

I’ve seen a similar config other places, but it never hurts to note: scrolling in X requires just a few xorg config lines.
