Michael Larabel cherry-picks a recent update from Alfonso Siciliano @alfonsosiciliano for the FreeBSD Foundation:
"During the month of June, I was primarily focused on BSDCan.
During my talk at the conference, I presented a solution for automatically detecting the appropriate NVIDIA GPU driver, allowing the installer to automatically detect the hardware, install the correct driver, and configure the system.
However, the licensing issue has not yet been clarified, so this solution will not be integrated into bsdinstall in the short term. Instead, users with NVIDIA GPUs will be prompted through a menu to select which version of the NVIDIA device driver they want to install."
<https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1uvr28o/comment/oxewlii/> draws attention to slides 129-133 of Alfonso's recent presentation.

I only now notice that my "What has (can) the EU Cyber Resilience Act done (do) for you?" article, in its tracked incarnation https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2026/06/what-has-can-eu-cyber-resilience-act.html made it onto @vermaden's Valuable news: https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2026/06/29/valuable-news-2026-06-29/ #cra #cybersecurity #cyberresilience #development #security #freesoftware #libresoftware #openbsd #netbsd #freebsd #bsdcan #eurobsdcon

This photo is particularly dear to me.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend BSDCan, but EuroBSDCon is just around the corner and I'm really looking forward to it! -
Typical. First night out after getting back from Ottawa #BSDCan and the food on offer is poutine after having the real stuff nightly.
Three poutine photos attached. One is from the UK, one is regular Canadian and one is lobster.

At BSDCan 2026 I was chatting with someone who had mentioned he'd not met so many fountain pen fans at once, so I took out my Lamy fountain pen. It's fun when two of my interests converge! Since we were at Ottawa U I told him about Paper Papier in the market. 😀

Thank you for attending!

It's very annoying that the best poutine I found in Ottawa was at the airport as I was leaving #BSDCan

As #bsdcan con chair alumni who watched the conference from a distance:
I am very proud of the team. Y'all done good.
Dog willing, I'll attend next year. Con chair alumni get their drinks for free, right? I think I established that rule when I was in charge? I distinctly remember establishing that rule.

One of the disadvantages of being a local for BSDCan is the transit in this city. I carrying photography gear each way and end up too tired at the end of the day to stay around much. Used to be one bus from a short walk from home to right in front of DesMarais. Now it's two trips and a longish walk each way.
I am considering biting the bullet and paying for some parking next year although I am in favour of transit. -
One of the cool things about bsdcan.org was talking quantum physics with an attendee. Loved it. (I was a mathy physicsy student long long ago...) The intersection of physics with computing is absolutely fascinating. "Entropy is just the Universe's way of telling us to buy more disk space."

It was amusing to hear about this article!

I am absolutely exhausted after four days of a technical conference held locally. (BSDCan.org) I'll be catching up on sleep for a while.

In the Kirk McKusick talk extended error message I'm glad they kept in mind embedded

I don't think anyone would notice if I happened to fall asleep in 1160.

I bought a Bodnar GPS to lock up the IC-9700 then reverse engineered the code to set it up.
So I am going to stick the NTPD on a RASPI like this Stratipi project does. I'll also add a clock display.. be nice addition to the shack. ;) -

"Get rid of stuff to make space" I have bad memories of .ovl files....
