It's December 27, which means there's 3 weeks left to get your @BSDCan talk submissions in. Ok, I know you're all planning on submitting at 23:59:59 on the 27th, but since you've probably got a bit of free time between now and the New Year, maybe start thinking about talk ideas?

@LadySerenaKitty Disney has a little more money than we do. But, it's a fun idea, and it would be cute to have all (most) of the BSDCon attendees wearing little beasties on their shoulders.☺️

@dgoodkin Looks like some additional stitching and the insertion of a magnet may be all that’s required. All the Disney shoulder buddies are sitting, their paws sewn in place, and they are non-floppy. A lot of engineering has gone into making them stable.

Hey @dgoodkin we need shoulder buddy of Beastie. I got Stitch at Disney World. Start selling Beastie shoulder buddies so I can get a fren for Stitch.

@LadySerenaKitty He's even smaller when he's sitting. :-)

@dgoodkin No, my Stitch shoulder buddy is smaller than the usual Stitch plush, about the height of a 12oz soda can. The small size is important to maintain stability while riding on one’s shoulder.

@ReichlinMelnick Just think, over 53,000 runners, friends, and family will be traveling there over the next few days, too!

Chicago just finished a summer with the fewest murders since 1965.

@vermaden @RoboNuggie "Just a sysadmin"???? Are you kidding me? You put the pieces together to make everything work! Programming is just one component of the puzzle. Your informative and helpful content helps new people get started with FreeBSD and highlights its benefits.

@RoboNuggie Thank You - but I am just a sysadmin - I do not wrote code - I do not improve FreeBSD - I am not a developer - I just share how to configure and use FreeBSD in multiple ways.

@photomatt @freebsd @Bitergia @linuxfoundation In short, @freeBSD (with help from @Bitergia) leveraged GrimoireLab (chaoss.github.io/grimoirelab/) to create dashboards to classify and help prioritize open tickets. You can find the slide deck at static.sched.com/hosted_files/o…

Whew. I have never seen a more brutal takedown of Trump’s cabinet than Pete Buttigieg here. No academic, high-brow rhetoric. Just simple, vivid language that everyone can understand & get behind. A masterclass from Pete. Watch this. x.com/PeteReceipts/s…

@mitchellbyars Hello! Do you know why N. Foothills Highway was closed at Neva this morning? This was during the Triathlon and it looked like someone was hit at the bottom of the hill just north of Neva.

@BianchiWeather Don't try to pet a moose! I ❤️ spending time up there!

These photos don’t do Alaska justice. What a cool place!

Thanks for the feedback! Here comes the FreeBSD edition of this how-to. Make sure you have a GPU installed and configured, otherwise it will be just SLOOOOOOOWWWWW hackacad.net/post/2025-07-1…
