Per this blog post, at least let's encrypt is rolling it out now in the next couple months:
https://letsencrypt.org/2026/02/18/dns-persist-01

> Support for the draft specification is available now in Pebble, a miniature version of Boulder, our production CA software. Work is also in progress on a lego-cli client implementation to make it easier for subscribers to experiment with and adopt. Staging rollout is planned for late Q1 2026, with a production rollout targeted for some time in Q2 2026.

That image is likely doctored.

This article has a similar image.

It doesn't have the third boob like the image at the start of the thread does.

It's sad that some people feel compelled to write [opinion] pieces for the NYT. When someone does so, it immediately decreases my opinion of them.

If you're annoyed by the Firefox change to hide selecting which search engine is used by default, then this is for you:

The short set the following in `about:config`:

Every time I try to use an LLM, it always gets things terribly wrong. Nvlist binary format is undocumented. Ask an LLM for it and of course it gets confused with OpenZFS similarly named nvpair, and talks about that (don't know if it's correct or not, but probably isn't from what I briefly saw).

I really don't understand how anyone uses this stuff for work.

I expect it to have FreeBSD's source code from anytime in the last 10 years in its corpus.

If I have to hunt down and provide source/docs for it, I might as well look at them myself to understand it and not depend upon an LLM to do so.

I even tried a 120b model, and it still gave me the incorrect response.

Welp, someone boosted a dhh post onto my feed. That's an immediate unfollow and mute, and apparently I hadn't blocked/muted dhh either, but that is now fixed.

Absolutely shocked, shocked that a surveillance company would lie about how they cameras are used in order to prevent it from being obvious that they are being used for illegal surveillance and tracking of people.

Looking at the *at family of functions and I just realized that I viewed them as part of the capsicum security framework and not as part of allowing a threaded program to access relative paths from each thread's own working directory.

This explains why absolute paths are allowed and ignores the directory fd.

FreeBSD's openat man page explains this.

#FreeBSD

Omg, this prediction is legit and correct.

Looks like quote posts don't work on my server yet.

When you're more worried about short term stock prices than the long term reputation.

Finding out that if I'm lacking proper sleep bad enough, that a little caffeine doesn't wake me up, but just makes me jittery and still sleepy/tired.

Oh, and a little dehydrated as well.

It'd be cool to mark which ones are posix sh and which ones are bash only. You someone do that when you mention [[ ]].

Maybe a " with a food note, bash only.

The ai companies keep arguing that the law needs to change, but that's like a burglar arguing that the prison sentences are too long, because if they steal 1000s of items, They'll go away to prison for the rest of their life.

We need to keep these damages because we need to reign in corporate exploitation.

You can do it in three:

But takes a few more additions.

Thank you for educating this person on this important part of computing.

They are probably the same person that doesn't canonicalize urls (percent encoding, etc) before comparing them as well.
