@dexter you're welcome. I hope they work.

@mjdxp I think you just described the first time I met who is now my brother-in-law

@dexter did you tell them about the OpenZFS event in Zagreb in September?

@ai6yr This video from a while back had some interesting ideas about people thinking numbers close to 0 or 5 weren't as random. (If I remember it correctly)

"Where have you been for the last 20 years?" - The question that changed everything. This isn't a BSDCan report, but a personal reflection on how impostor syndrome stole decades from me, and why it's never too late to find your community and live life fully.

@mwl no, not recovered yet. And it's BSD Pizza Night on Thursday (calagator.org) then camping with friends over the weekend. So many people.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled ... was convincing internet communities to switch from email lists / IRC / another open standard to Slack / Discord. The latest example of a “it's only free while we say it's free" is CNCF’s / Kubernetes's Slack - https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/communication/slack-migration-faq.md - who it appears have *4 days* to backup their history (for a server with 100,000s of users)

Neither Slack nor Discord are reasonable, serious, professional, options for open community discussion. They are either too expensive, and/or involve inappropriate advertising. And who knows when Discord will start pulling this kind of behaviour, too, requiring large communities to pay?

The problem is today when anyone says "can't we just use an email list?" they are pooh-pooh'ed as being horribly out of touch. Hence why even the linked FAQ describes Discord as the only likely exit plan for Kubernetes. What a mess.

@overeducatedredneck dangit, I bet someone there would have known. Oh well.

To make up for not searching it on the way to #BSDCan, CATSA searched the bag with the Positron. I guess swapping the filament into the other bag and adding dirty laundry was too tempting. Fortunately nothing seems to be missing, althougj I didn't count the socks.
@BugZ

@MaierAmsden @finner @evan An essential, and perhaps unavoidable, irony here is that as all this progress has been made - as US elections become more secure - public confidence in the integrity of our elections seems to be at an all-time low.

This is partly because the progress is driven by (and produces) public awareness of the threats and risks elections face. This awareness is generally good - knowledge is power! - but it can lead to this perverse inversion between reality and perception.

I saw a video of an octopus fighting a mantis shrimp, and the narrator said ‘brain vs prawn’

Finally listening to the latest episode of The Underbar[0] where previous perl pumpkings and current and previous members of the PSC are talking about the future of version numbering. One thing that came up was a document that talked about what version new features appeared in and when they became stable and who the audience was for that document. The audience was in the room! I believe it was aristotle who said "I don't know when new features appeared". It is also me, I regularly use the (incomplete) table on Wikipedia[1] to not only figure out what version to target, but also remind myself what cool new things I can use. I end up targeting different perl versions in different contexts, so this reference would make it easier for me to have the best experience I can. This is somewhat covered in the documentation for feature[2] but there are lots of things not applicable for that document, for example there is no mention of the builtin:: namespace[3].
