    [$] Comparing SystemTap and bpftrace
    There are times when developers and system administrators need to diagnose
    problems in running code. The program to be examined can be a user-space
    process, the kernel, or both. Two of the major tools available on Linux to
    perform this sort of analysis are
    SystemTap and
    bpftrace. SystemTap has been available
    since 2005, while bpftrace is a more recent contender that, to some,
    may appear to
    have made SystemTap obsolete. However, SystemTap is still the preferred
    tool for
    some real-world use cases.
    9:48p
    FreeBSD 13.0 released
    The FreeBSD 13 release is out. It includes a lot of updated software, the
    removal of a number of GNU tools (including the toolchain), and more, but
    not WireGuard. See the release
    notes     for the details.
