FuryBSD 2020-Q3 The world’s first OpenZFS based live image (https://www.furybsd.org/furybsd-2020-q3-the-worlds-first-openzfs-based-live-image/)
FuryBSD is a tool to test drive stock FreeBSD desktop images in read write mode to see if it will work for you before installing. In order to provide the most reliable experience possible while preserving the integrity of the system the LiveCD now leverages ZFS, compression, replication, a memory file system, and reroot (pivot root).
FreeBSD Subversion to Git Migration: Pt 1 Why? (https://bsdimp.blogspot.com/2020/09/freebsd-subversion-to-git-migration.html)
FreeBSD moving to Git: Why? With luck, I'll be writing a few blogs on FreeBSD's move to git later this year. Today, we'll start with "why"?

News Roundup
FreeBSD Instant-workstation 2020 (https://euroquis.nl/freebsd/2020/09/17/instant-workstation.html)
A little over a year ago I published an instant-workstation script for FreeBSD. The idea is to have an installed FreeBSD system, then run a shell script that uses only base-system utilities and installs and configures a workstation setup for you.
nut – testing the shutdown mechanism (https://dan.langille.org/2020/09/10/nut-testing-the-shutdown-mechanism/)
Following on from my recent nut setup, this is the second in a series of three posts.
The next post will deal with adjusting startup and shutdown times to be sure everything proceeds as required.
