A wakeup call
The inclusion of Autistici/Inventati on the US Specially Designated Global Terrorist list is a kick in the guts for all of us hosting services for others, whether it's fediverse instances, blogs, mailing lists or anything else. While most of us will hopefully never be on the receiving end of such a designation, the US regime has demonstrated how easily they can ruin our lives by throwing a politically motivated terror designation our way.
You may think that you're safe. You're not doing anything illegal after all. Just providing some infrastructure, a services or a place for people to come together and communicate. Privately. In confidence. Anonymously.
That was also what Autistici/Inventati was doing.
We're all targets now. And if we don't stand up against it, we let the fascists win!
In Autistici/Inventati's own words:
Let us have a thousand servers, a thousand networks. Let us flood them with possibilities until they run out of time and money to pursue and persecute us.

OpenJDK 27 released to FreeBSD ports tree
I just pushed a port for OpenJDK 27 to the main branch of the FreeBSD ports tree.
In additions to the upstream changes, the following BSD specific improvements are included:
Fix os::naked_short_nanosleep on OpenBSD when < 20 miliseconds.Only return symbols that match the requested address for dladdr(3) on BSD.
The latter also reverts the default visibility of symbols in libjvm.so to hidden, which should make loading the library faster, and reduce the memory consumption slightly.
As always thanks to @FreeBSDFoundation@mastodon.social for sponsoring my work on the OpenJDK for FreeBSD, and also to Kurt Miller for digging into the details for the BSD specific fixes for this release.

@@JosteinSN@oslo.town Om du ikke trenger en flett ny maskin, så har jeg også god erfaring med å kjøpe OS-løse maskiner fra Plan B IT. Send dem en epost og si du vil ha en maskin uten OS, så fikser de det. (De kan også gjøre andre oppgraderinger av maskinene i forhold til det som står i nettbutikken.)
Har egentlig bedre erfaring med dem enn Multicom, da Multicom kan være ganske vrange når det gjelder support om du installerer noe annet enn Windows på dem.

Specialized tools that can analyze code and find bugs is not the same as a program to generate random, but plausible looking text.

Content, in this context, includes but is not limited to source code, text, and images in OpenJDK Git repositories, GitHub pull requests, e-mail messages, wiki pages, and JBS issues.
Contributors in the OpenJDK Community may use generative AI tools privately to help comprehend, debug, and review OpenJDK code and other content, and to do research related to OpenJDK Projects, so long as they do not contribute content generated by such tools.
From the OpenJDK Interim Policy on Generative AI.
It's good to see at least some project take an informed approach to this issue. Hopefully this will not change drastically when Oracle comes around with their suggested policy later on.
