I found on the shelf a very important CD I bought with Linux magazine during my college years. I had to opportunity to share this memory with @DLangille who I believe was glad to hear it 🙂

No reasoning given for allowing RMS back on the board. I see this reinstatement as contrary to the interests of the free software movement and therefore very disappointing. FLOSS is about more than 1 person. fsf.org/news/preliminary-boa…

Today I heard one of the worst engineering takes to exist.
“Documentation shouldn’t be necessary if the engineers are competent in what they’re doing.”
No. Documentation is for future you, for new teammates, and for anyone who can’t memorize everything they ever do.

That did it.
While that is not the tool I used, I searched for annotate in my password manager and found:
diigo.com/
That is what I used. Thank you.

I know I had an account, and it used CSS to highlight text on the webpage. It wasn't perfect, but it was enough for @TechSNAP_Dan work.

Did you know every git repo contains this hash?
Try it yourself: git show 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904
I learned that today, thanks to Sergey Kozlov for the work

Over the weekend I saw that third-party certs which are valid > 1 year are at risk from cipher advances. i.e. vulns are found faster than certs expire, therefore, shorter expiry dates are recommended for better security.
To that end, several big institutions are moving that way.

EPISODE 400! Huge congrats to @wespayne and @jrssnet. And of COURSE a Canada sized thank you to @allanjude for so many years of great episodes, and to @DLangille for his amazing insightful contributions and helping us evolve TechSNAP and push it forward. 🥳
A new TechSNAP is OUT! fireside.fm/s/sHzmXDIv+-mAcx… We break down the @ASUS Live Update backdoor and explore why these kinds of supply chain attacks are on the rise. Plus an update from the #linux vendor firmware service, your feedback, and more!

A recent PostgreSQL release gives a way to deal with incorrect implementations of fsync. To take advantage of FreeBSD's correctness, you need to add this setting to postgresql.conf: data_sync_retry=on

Multiple @jupitersignal shows @TechSNAP_Dan @CoderRadioShow have raised the issue of trust in the open source supply chain. I thought it was worth mentioning sonatype.com/nexus-repositor… and sonatype.com/nexus-iq-server which offer visibility and policy management for OS dependencies.

943 daily backups over a 32 month period. The latest backup, on disk, is about 63G:
-rw-r----- 1 10839 10839 68150613520 Jun 6 08:39 bacula.dump
Given deduplication and compression BY @Tarsnap, the above backups take up 51G on disk.

How did you get started with BSD?
I had no Linux experience. I did some unix in the late 80’s at Carleton University.
In 1998 I got broadband at home & wanted a firewall. A coworker gave me a 386 & some FreeBSD CDs.
