10/28/2026Why do I keep saying you should back @zzclaybourne's book and stick it to The Man, even though I'm a white 59-year old straight white who basically IS The Man?

10/28/2026I get really annoyed when someone does something clever, and I post it, and it turns out the creator is a racist/sexist/transphobic/whatev PoS.
I'm deleting it of course, but: how dare assholes occasionally be clever enough to trick me into sharing their work.
10/28/202610/28/2026The guys are jamming today.
10/28/2026About 60 hours left to back @zzclaybourne's new book.

Zigs has had a rough year. You'd make it much better by dragging this thing past $8k. Even after fulfillment, that'd earn him more than a midlist trad deal.
Stick it to The Man. Back ZZ.

"Where we're going, we don't need a wheel!"
10/27/2026so glad it helped!
10/27/2026I had plans to travel alone for Thanksgiving, but my shoulder surgery canceled them. Filed a claim with the airline insurance last Friday.
The check arrived today. I am very surprised that something works the way it's supposed to!
10/27/2026The new @zzclaybourne book is within kissing distance of $7k.
Not even a thorough kiss. More like how you kiss that one aunt on the cheek. No, not *that* aunt. The one you wish you could spend more time with.
Give https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/obsidiansky/khumalo-tales that kiss. You won't regret it.
10/27/2026This #freebsd 15.1-p5 VM boots via BIOS.
$ sysctl machdep.bootmethod
machdep.bootmethod: BIOS
Booted the 15.1 bootonly CD
# gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 vtdb0
Still getting the "unsupported feature" error.
I can import the pool, delete the redacted dataset, and boot the machine, but still: what the heck? :flan_facepalm:
10/27/2026Today's #openzfsmastery status:
BIOS drive C: is disk0
ZFS: unsupported feature: com.delphix:redacted_datasets
ZFS: bool zroot is not supported
Guess the book better mention that...

all abominations are abominable in their own way!
The greatest are differently abominable.
10/27/2026I have a new thing out, but I don't want to say what it is.
Consider yourself warned.
10/27/2026SNMP table updated!
10/27/2026For those of you waiting: Amazon and Kobo are now live.
10/26/2026Pondering and pummeling ZFS snapshot redaction for #openzfsmastery today. My brain is now pulp, knocking off for the day.
Still pushing to finish before 12 November. I'd appreciate your support. https://mwl.io/sponsor
10/26/2026ps to CNN: kids have been giving that stare since the start of the stone age, quit getting high on your own supply
10/26/2026As a Gen X, I am pleased to see the youngsters keeping up my ways.
That stare will serve you well throughout your life, child. Polish it. Hone it. Turn it into a weapon as we did before you.

Look. People.
I have waited years to soil this book with my grubby paws. Only four days left? Make them pass more quickly. Back it now.
