Valuable News – 2026/03/30

Wait 5 sec.

The Valuable News weekly series is dedicated to provide summary about news, articles and other interesting stuff mostly but not always related to the UNIX/BSD/Linux systems. Whenever I stumble upon something worth mentioning on the Internet I just put it here.Today the amount information that we get using various information streams is at massive overload. Thus one needs to focus only on what is important without the need to grep(1) the Internet everyday. Hence the idea of providing such information ‘bulk’ as I already do that grep(1).The Usual Suspects section at the end is permanent and have links to other sites with interesting UNIX/BSD/Linux news.Past releases are available at the dedicated NEWS page.UNIXDual FIB Policy Routing on FreeBSD: Two Upstreams/One Server/Zero Confusion.https://blog.hofstede.it/dual-fib-policy-routing-on-freebsd-two-upstreams-one-server-zero-confusion/Native FreeBSD OCI Containers – Jails without System Administration.https://daemonless.io/ZXC is High Performance Asymmetric Lossless Compression.https://github.com/hellobertrand/zxcBoxyBSD Shuts Down.https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@BoxyBSD/116279818958948678Beautiful/Modern DE for FreeBSD.https://omfreebdy.dba.wtf/FreeBSD Git Weekly: 2026-03-16 to 2026-03-22.https://freebsd-git-weekly.tarsnap.net/2026-03-16.htmlLatest GhostBSD-26.1-R15.0p2 ISO Available.https://ci.ghostbsd.org/jenkins/job/stable-15/job/Build%20ISO%20For%20Testing%20Packages/11/WordPerfect for UNIX Character Terminals.https://github.com/taviso/wpunix# curl > /dev/sdahttps://astrid.tech/2026/03/24/0/curl-to-dev-sda/Shell Tricks That Actually Make Life Easier (and Save Your Sanity).https://blog.hofstede.it/shell-tricks-that-actually-make-life-easier-and-save-your-sanity/Wine 11 Rewrites How Windows Games Run at Kernel Level and Speed Gains are Massive.https://xda-developers.com/wine-11-rewrites-linux-runs-windows-games-speed-gains/https://x.com/Pirat_Nation/status/2036624107035672809Building 10 Server FreeBSD Jail Cluster Running LAMP (Apache/MySQL/Perl/PHP/Python) Stack.https://pc-freak.net/blog/building-10server-freebsd-jail-cluster-running-lamp-linux-apache-mysql-perl-php-python-stack/XMMS Codebase Brought Back to Life by AI with GTK4 + GStreamer/PipeWire Port.https://phoronix.com/news/XMMS-AI-Port-To-PipeWire-GTK4https://gitlab.com/cschalle/xmms-resuscitatedUbuntu 26.10 Looks to Strip Its GRUB Bootloader To Bare Minimum for Better Security.https://phoronix.com/news/Ubuntu-26.10-Lighter-GRUBUnix History.https://michal.sapka.pl/unix-history/Evolution of Unix Time Sharing System – Dennis Ritchie.
