Dennis Haskins, Principal Belding in 'Saved By The Bell,' dies at 75

New grads say employers set the bar too high for entry-level roles: 'No job is willing to give you that first experience'

I wanted to run Ubuntu 26.04 Server inside an OpenBSD vmm(4) guest. OpenBSD’s VM console is serial only, and the Ubuntu Server ISO does not boot correctly on a serial console out of the box. This post shows how to rebuild the Ubuntu ISO with the right kernel and GRUB options so it installs cleanly through vmctl console.

A system call on this machine costs fifty-two nanoseconds. The same call in a Linux guest on the very same processor costs eight hundred and sixteen. Neither number is about the kernel type, and that is the finding. The Bench Marker.

I knew there was a reason everyone was so nice for a change

CDs Are Booming Again With 17.5 Million Units Sold in the First Half of 2026

Thanks to being subscribed to self-hosting and homelab feeds, I yet again was trapped by compulsive buying and collector’s impulse while browsing the local refurb marketplaces. This may end now. Until then, here’s a quick look at ThinkCentre M710q and M720q on various BSD systems.

Found this post on reddit, decided to repost here since I think it's funny 😅

A small update to this digital wellbeing software since my last post.
This is a prerelease version which i have tagged to be stable and slated for future release and add to main branch from the beta branch.

This highlight is less about asking you guys to try out the beta release but more in the honor of over 3+ months of development.
What makes me happy the most is that the project which i started even without a repository just to monitor my own system and usage has now come this far with over 50+ downloads 🎉☺️

This beta release now polishes on various little things which are actually necessary for a first time set up and proper user control as Now you can:

• carries forward the settings screen from previous beta release
• replaces notifications and sounds tab with general which now includes appearance settings
• you can now Stop , restart or RESET the Daemon and its preferences in settings
• Pomodoro settings which were half baked in the first release have now been added to settings to enable a looping focus mode for people at work with CUSTOM BREAK TIME
• Most Importantly (i feel) FIRST time setup issues have been fixed and in an attempt the first time ScreenGuard daemon setup pop up dialog (1st image) has been made

The Release v0.1.1 releases this October by second week, and I will continue testing the beta version to look for sectors that need polishing if any.

This is still limited to GNOME on wayland and x11 for other environments systems and primarily developed by me on my fedora 44 system and the project ScreenGuard still has a very Long way to go;

But working on it alone has given me much exposure to project sharing on platforms and most importantly a lot of invaluable experience and the true zeal of development instead of the boredom of being a 9 to 5 dev at a corporate who don't care for you.

Github beta release link: https://github.com/adityakrishnan005-a11y/ScreenGuard/releases/tag/v0.1.1-beta.4

The code for this is visible on the beta branch to keep the main working tree clean for new features additions.

Feedback from other desktop environments is widely appreciated, u can try the application out by switching to x11 session temporarily if you are using any DE which is not GNOME wayland or if u are on a DE which is primarily x11 based (Cinnamon, i3, etc) then u are good to go as they ARE FULLY SUPPORTED.

thank you everyone for your supports, criticisms and feedbacks ever since the project came online on github.
