I could use a recommendation for a good, cheap registrar to use for domain names; I use gandi and the price has been creeping up. Any suggestions? Next NYCBUG: QEMU Virtualization on BSDs, Jim Brown, 2025-01-08. QEMU is far more influential than I expected. For The Love of God, Make Your Own Website.

Barry Kauler ☛ Chromium 131.0.6778.85 compiled in OE
We had a problem with compiling Chromium 131.x, as reported earlier:
- Chromium 130.0.6723.91 compiled in OpenEmbedded — November 28, 2024
Max figured out a patch so that 131.0.6778.85 will compile with rust 1.75. This is only a temporary fix, as future versions of Chromium may require more rust 1.78-specific features.
