Hello, and welcome to issue #26!
Did you manage to see the launch of SpaceX first crew mission? It was a success! There were 10.3 million concurrent watchers on the stream, that’s massive. If you somehow miss it here is the link to space.com article, it includes videos. It was cool to watch. It felt like the beginnings of a sci-fi story.
Anyways, Important news for humanity aside. There was also other important news around. In the previous newsletter (#25), we talked about the new unc0ver jailbreak for iOS. This week Apple released new updates, iOS 13.5.1 and iPadOS 13.5.1, that fix the kernel bug that allowed this exploit. You can read the release notes here. I guess some people won’t be wanting to apply that patch if they’re going to jailbreak their phones.

Hello, and welcome to issue #23!
How are things your way? I hope that coping1 well with the changes and keeping safe. Things are quite different from what I expect them to be by this time in the year. I was hoping this year I was going to make a significant career change, but there is no international travel, and things seem to be slowing down. So, who knows what the future might bring.

Hello, and welcome to issue #22 of the Newsletter.
How is life? I hope everything is going well. I’ve been enjoying my time exploring FreeBSD Jails, and ZFS. FreeBSD is such an interesting Operating System. The sense of integration is quite refreshing.
In contrast to what I sometimes feel when working on Linux, many areas of the system feel disjointed. Everything works, but you have to know all the peculiarities on how each different distribution and each of the various groups responsible for different code bases work. Anyways, if you would like to explore FreeBSD, have a look at the FreeBSD Handbook (FreeBSD documentation is quite good).

I hope you had a good January, and ready for the weekend and February. I’m certainly going to try to get as much rest as possible this weekend. It has been a busy few weeks, and the year has just started! We’ll see how everything goes from here.
Time seems to be going by super fast. I feel as if I just started the Newsletter, but this is issue #18. I hope there are many more to come, and that you are enjoying them as much as I am.
