    AI finds thousands of zero-day exploits... including in FreeBSD.

    Supposedly, scaling them up led to a huge increase in their usefulness. That improvement seems to have plateaued at GPT-5, and the gains now are incremental. But consider I got all of the above from a Youtube video by an infamous AI skeptic. I'm certainly not qualified to evaluate the validity...

    AI finds thousands of zero-day exploits... including in FreeBSD.

    Exactly. Right now the AI companies are under-pricing their products to gain market share by burning venture money. Eventually some small number winners will emerge and prices will begin to rise to match costs. I have no idea how much they will rise. I suspect quite a bit because all of us are...

    Run Minecraft Neoforge server as daemon

    You'll have to look at the run.sh to see what it's doing. Is it online somewhere? A quick and dirty hack would be to just run it inside tmux.

    Solved I think that I have met my match

    I never use .0 versions on anything I care about losing.

    Will FreeBSD be available in California in 2027?

    The OS provider can just say "we asked the user and they said they were 21, so we're OK." Nobody gets sued successfully. Starting to make sense, no?

    Can shadowsocks-libev come back to ports?

    The C version looks to be supported again: https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-libev/commit/7bb250739ef0067c62e4ffd533ec8cee2775995a

    Useless Scripts/Programs

    Turns out there's at least one useful zero-byte program. I ran into it on Hacker News, but the original site appears to have been taken down by AI bots. Here's the last version I can find on the Internet Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20231110200421/https://peetm.com/blog?p=55

    Spending $17 million to replace git

    This might be an apocryphal story, but it amuses me nonetheless. Supposedly Larry McV yanked the Bitkeeper rug out from under Linus because Tridge "reverse engineered" the BK protocol. According to Tridge, this involved telnetting to the BK port and typing "help".

    Spending $17 million to replace git

    I drove the Git adoption at the company where I was working in the early 10s. Linus and Linux had nothing to do with it. Every other place I've worked at since has already been on Git.

    ARM Board Recommendations.

    Agreed. Ten year old stuff usually has one foot in the grave, though. Yes, even Apple stuff. The Macbook Air I bought my mom about 6 years ago just bit the dust. And a replacement might not be readily available at a reasonable price depending on market conditions. Yeah, it does seem the ARM...

    Some co-workers ran into this very problem today.

    Spending $17 million to replace git

    I've been doing this with plain Git for at least ten years. Sigh, nobody appreciates the finely curated commits in my merge requests. I try to group changes thematically so they're easier to review. I'm literally the only person who does that where I work.

    ARM Board Recommendations.

    That is impressive, especially if it's an x86 box. I need something with better reliability and availability than old second hand hardware, though.

    Beautiful desktop net performance with multicore net.isr

    Because the defaults are supposed to be reasonable for every use case, not just desktop.

    ARM Board Recommendations.

    Absolute lowest power requirement possible. I know it can be done on amd64 with messing with the BIOS, too.

    I do believe it's time for das blinkenlights.

    Claude Code cracks FreeBSD within four hours

    Some people at work have started using Cursor, and have sent me analyses made by same. I can tell that what the Cursor guys have done is hook up a chatbot to a static analyzer, because Intellij's static analyzer found some of the same problems. The problems it reported ranged from a good catch...

    IPFW How to temporarily disconnect all incoming IPs except mine?

    What shell are you using? Try this, and make sure it prints two lines: echo -e "block in all\npass in from <my IP> to any" If it does you can then pipe it to pfctl -f -. You definitely want a pipe "|" and not a slash.
