  • The BSD Now Podcast ☛ BSD Now 597: OpenBSD FRAME sockets

    The Do-Not-Stab flag in the HTTP Header, FreeBSD jail host with multiple local networks, Generative Hey Hi (AI) is for the idea guys, Static dual stack networking on OmniOS Solaris Zones, FRAME sockets added to OpenBSD, The problem with combining DNS CNAME records and anything else, and more

    (due to excessive use of the F-bomb, perhaps we should somewhat censor it... You can do so in words... or I can use Tom's favorite Frequency tone to do it in post). You decide and let me know what you think would be funnier.)

    Also I'm hoping for some good commentary from you guys on this one. :P

    • Kevin Fenzi: Bits from mid late jan 2025

      Hello again everyone! Three weeks in a row now. Go me. I'm not really sure what to name these posts, especially given that 'early/mid/late' does not work when there's 4 weeks in a month. I could just put the dates in the title, but that seems difficult to see what is going on. Perhaps I just need to pick out some highlights.

  • The New Stack ☛ Tailwind CSS Gets a ‘Ground-Up Rewrite’ for Version 4.0

    It’s an understandable reaction, when you consider that this release is a ground-up rewrite of the framework. The Tailwind team took “everything we’ve learned about the architecture over the years and optimizing it to be as fast as possible,” Wathan wrote.

  • Tedium ☛ I’m Building A Webmail Client, And I’m Not Sure Why

    My idea, being built in React with Tailwind, is to revive the vibes of Google Inbox by creating a similar single-column webmail client. The goal is to make it something easily scanned, while not being too overwhelming to use, less focused on Inbox Zero and more on just creating a clean, AI-free experience. I’m thinking of calling it “&udm=14 mail,” as it’s a spiritual successor to that last idea.

  • The New Stack ☛ Warp vs. Ghostty: Which Terminal App Meets Your Dev Needs?

    After the recent review of Ghostty on The New Stack, I thought I’d take a look at it from the point of view of a Warp user. They are both terminal apps (GUI shells, if you like), although Warp is decidedly more heavyweight in terms of features (including AI). Ghostty, on the other hand, is designed to be a good fit straight out of the box. This post is an introductory appreciation of both terminals in their context.

  • Web Browsers/Web Servers

    • David L Farquhar ☛ NCSA Mosaic: The mother of all web browsers

      The Internet as we know it today is largely based on the World Wide Web, which was Tim Berners-Lee’s invention. Berners-Lee invented HTML, the web browser, and the web server. But his applications only ran on NeXT computers. The Web needed to be cross-platform to really take off.

      To solve the end-user side of the problem, NCSA developed a pioneering web browser called Mosaic.
