            I tried on a cheap second hand HP desktop, and I was pleasantly surprised to see an X11 login and full desktop environment come up right after installation. 🤓

                  a bug report about the "polish" keyboard option being broken in sysinst led me down a rabbit hole.

                  1. poland has a few layouts, naturally completely incompatible, but the most common is an extended US ANSI called "polish programmers keyboard"
                  2. ofc, our OS only had support for one of the more obscure ones ... on Commodore Amiga
                  3. on modern systems it'd fail to init the PL keymap every time, and fall back to US, which has all the basic keys in the same place (so, few ppl noticed)

                    One thing about having a fever and being a bit “out of it”… it silences that inner critic that says something is silly or won’t work.

                    Last night I was tinkering with my Sun and wishing I had a wireless bridge (the study doesn’t have Ethernet yet). I rummaged and found an old RPi with a dongle. Threw 10 on it, set up wi-fi, set up a bridge… worked!

                    Won’t win speed awards accessing… my gopher and FTP jails. But, is a word with three letters.

                        People working on Linux or the BSDs (or illumos based OSes, etc), are you using two monitors? And, if so, what do you use them for?
                        I'm trying to understand if it makes sense to keep two monitors on my desk

                                    Exactly one month from today, I'll be at to present my talk "Why (and how) we're migrating many of our servers from Linux to the BSDs" (AKA: "I solve problems").

                                    As the days go by, I feel increasingly honored to be a speaker at this event, more and more excited to live an experience similar to the incredible one I had last September at in Dublin, and more confident than ever in the technical choices I’ve made over the years - which I’ll be happy to share.

                                    BSD conferences aren’t just technical events - they’re snapshots of the BSD community as a whole: friendly, collaborative, pragmatic, and positive.

                                    To everyone attending: see you in Ottawa!
