This thread is meant to post useful and interesting links concerting BSD/UNIX and more generally tech related content. Opinionated blog posts, fun resources, and anything stimulating a vibrant discussion is welcome. Original content is encouraged, and you're invited to share it here with the rest of the community.

I'm aware of more than a user here who actively write on a personal website. I'll only mention @"yeti"#145 because I'm confident he won't mind (and also because he actually writes very good content).

I'll start by sharing my most recent posts: - [keeping my repo tidy with lintpkgsrc](https://retrobsd.ddns.net/2k6pea.htm) - [wscons - SPARC OpenBoot edition](https://retrobsd.ddns.net/vcscda.htm)

@"JuvenalUrbino"#p12328 I'm not sure that this is what you had in mind. This is definitely not mine, but from Solene, who everyone should follow on her blog: https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2022-07-01-oldcomputerchallenge-v2-rtc.html

And for opinionated blog posts, look no further than the unix sheikh. Lots of great articles but here's one to get you started: https://unixsheikh.com/articles/the-real-motivation-behind-systemd.html The article is about three years old now, but it's interesting to read nonetheless, especially given that Lennart Poettering just got a job at microsoft........

@"nortonham"#p12337 Yes, Solene falls definitely within the sort of things I had in mind. I wouldn't mind having it regularly linked here. My main problem is keeping track of new posts from authors I like, since not everybody implements a RSS2/Atom feed, and honestly, for some reason I don't like rss as much as I did in the past now. This is also one of the reasons why I decided to start a newsserver.

@"JuvenalUrbino"#p12341 Browser bookmarks? I got nothin' besides that lmao

Two new C compilers for OpenBSD: https://briancallahan.net/blog/20220629.html

@"nortonham"#p12350 I noticed I had a growing number off bookmarks on almost any platform :P.

@"JuvenalUrbino"#p12341 what we currently have is Matrix room with few rss links so whenever new article gets published we get message with title and link to article that we all users get updates and we can click and read the ones we find interesting :P
