This release is dedicated to the memory of Kurt Lidl, a long time BSD developer, who died on October 10th from metastatic kidney cancer: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.freebsdfoundation.org&#x2F;blog&#x2F;in-memory-of-kurt-lidl&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.freebsdfoundation.org&#x2F;blog&#x2F;in-memory-of-kurt-lid...</a>

FreeBSD is amazing, and a major reason for that is how well it is managed. I would find it very hard to name three other open-source projects of comparable size that are so well-organized and have consistently delivered for this long. Here&#x27;s a warm shoutout to the FreeBSD Foundation, as well as your reminder to donate: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.freebsdfoundation.org&#x2F;donate&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.freebsdfoundation.org&#x2F;donate&#x2F;</a>

Been running Linux servers for years. FreeBSD is what gave me back the passion to run servers.<p>It&#x27;s such a well structured operating system. The documentation is just great and Jails are a really nice way to get lightly isolated environments to run different web services.<p>Thanks to all the people who make FreeBSD possible!

&gt; The trim(8) utility has been added, which deletes content for blocks on flash-based storage devices that use wear-leveling algorithms. [r344688]<p>Is this replacing an older utility or is FreeBSD way behind on supporting SSDs?

&gt; BearSSL has been imported to the base system. [r343281]<p>Exciting. Is it being used for anything yet?

Is there a 300-page or less book that can teach practical usage of FreeBSD? Like the C book or the UNIX programming environment book. I have it installed on one of my laptops but never got around to use it.

My train of thought went &quot;hmm, I wonder if FreeBSD would be good to use in production for running some Docker containers&quot; and I stumbled across this <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.freebsd.org&#x2F;Docker" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.freebsd.org&#x2F;Docker</a><p>&gt; Docker&#x27;s currently broken.<p>that leads to this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;reviews.freebsd.org&#x2F;D21570" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;reviews.freebsd.org&#x2F;D21570</a>
