When it comes to sitcoms that have earned their place in television history, “Seinfeld” undoubtedly tops the list. Created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, the show kicked off on July 5, 1989, with an episode that would set the stage for a cultural phenomenon. Let's rewind to that fateful premiere episode, aptly titled “The Seinfeld Chronicles,” and see how it launched a series that would redefine comedy and the sitcom genre.In “The Seinfeld Chronicles,” viewers are introduced to Jerry Seinfeld as, well, himself. The premise may seem simple: a stand-up comedian navigates life in New York City while dealing with friends, relationships, and the trivialities of daily existence. But much like a fine wine, the simpler it seems, the more complex the enjoyment. The episode opens with a classic bit of Jerry's stand-up, laying the groundwork for his iconic observational humor that would come to define the series.In this maiden voyage, we get to meet a few key players: Jerry's best friend George Costanza, played by Jason Alexander, who quickly establishes himself as the envy of no one—an everyman with insecurities and questionable life choices that every viewer can relate to. Meanwhile, Elaine Benes, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, makes her debut in a phone conversation and later graces the screen in person, bringing her unique blend of sass and wit. And let's not forget Cosmo Kramer, played by Michael Richards, who may not appear until later, but his impending arrival is already felt through Jerry's chaotic world.The plot of the episode revolves around a seemingly minor yet fundamentally relatable issue: Jerry's decision to call an enigmatic woman he met while waiting for his flight out of town. The twist? He doesn't have her number, and the only way to reach her is through a series of increasingly silly misunderstandings, much to George's dismay. The beauty of “The Seinfeld Chronicles” is in its details – every scene meticulously contributes not just to this absurd plot but illustrates the nuances of friendship and dating that so many of us navigate.What stands out in this first episode is the show's ability to take mundane experiences—like waiting for a plane, a conversation about dating, or the universal freedom (or lack thereof) of talking to someone you're interested in—and spin them into comedic gold. Jerry's laid-back demeanor serves as the perfect anchor to George's frantic overthinking, creating a dynamic that keeps audiences both laughing and nodding in agreement.Moreover, the episode cleverly sets up the “theme” of the show—essentially “a show about nothing.” This groundbreaking idea allows the characters to explore what might seem trivial but, in reality, encapsulates the complexities of human behavior. Whether discussing why he can't call his love interest or how to politely excuse himself from a dull conversation, the humor resonates at every turn.In retrospect, “The Seinfeld Chronicles” isn't just another pilot; it's a love letter to the little, often overlooked moments in life that can turn into hilariously relatable stories. As viewers settled in with Jerry, George, and Elaine for the first time, they were unknowingly embarking on a journey through the highs and lows of what it means to be an adult in the big city—sprinkled with enough humor to make them laugh loud and hard, time and time again.So here's to the timeless charm of “Seinfeld.” If the first episode is anything to go by, we're all in for quite the ride filled with laughter, quirks, and lots of “I can totally relate” moments.
For the first time in a long time, Gobbledygeek dips its beak back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They've done so for a very special film: Jake Schreier's Thunderbolts*, a return to the MCU's past glories with a tale of outcasts looking for something to believe in. Yelena Belova, the Winter Soldier, U.S. Agent, Red Guardian, Ghost, and Taskmaster come together to form a new kind of Avengers team; one formed under the auspices of none other than Elaine Benes. Paul, Arlo, and Eric–our own band of lovable misfits–discuss Florence Pugh's killer performance, the lovable David Harbour, what Thunderbolts* does differently than most recent MCU films, and much, much more. NEXT: we enter VAL-halla for a second Val Kilmer double feature. This time, it's 1986's Tony Scott pro-war classic Top Gun and 1988's Ron Howard (???) Lord of the Rings rip-off, Willow.

Carol Leifer entered comedy when a woman stand-up was considered a novelty or a niche, but even then she knew "things would eventually change." And change has come, due in no small part to Carol's own stelar show biz contributions.

A master interviewer, Fragoso is known for eliciting emotions his guests don't expect. His wide-reaching conversation with Louis-Dreyfus touches on ambition, frustration in showbusiness, Louis-Dreyfus's battle with breast cancer, and much more.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Seinfeld, Veep) is best known for her quick wit, physical comedy and — when it comes to her character Elaine Benes — her dance moves. But in her new film, “Tuesday,” the Emmy-winning actor flexes her dramatic chops. Julia joins Tom to discuss the film, why she's more comfortable talking about death these days, and what happens to your comedy when you get mentally healthy.
Back in April, Jerry Seinfeld ruffled a lot of feathers with his unfiltered take on the state of TV comedy today. While reminiscing about classic sitcoms like “Cheers” and “All in the Family,” Jerry said that because of PC culture these days, TV comedy has changed for the worse. Of course, people online were divided about whether Jerry has a point, and now one of his ol' castmates is weighing in. Julia Louis-Dreyfus (aka Elaine Benes) has entered the chat, and she's making it clear that she doesn't exactly see eye-to-eye with her old co-star.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Seinfeld's Elaine Benes is one of the most iconic and hilarious characters of the 90s – played by the comedy legend, Julia Louis-Dreyfus. She stood out for being the only woman of the friend group, but also because she was (at least at first) also less cynical than her friends. Her confidence and unapologetic attitude were refreshing and radical, and her character opened the door for so many of our faves that followed after. So let's turn back the clock and analyze what made Elaine so different, why she became such an iconic and beloved character, and how, even if she wasn't always a great person, she still managed to be a new kind of role model.

When it comes to priorities, Julia-Louis Dreyfus has had hers in place for a long time. As a young mother when she played Elaine Benes on Seinfeld, Julia had to figure out how to separate the demands of working on set, from the demands of being a committed parent. Even so, she tells Katie, “Being a mother who is working outside the home is a bitch. It's very difficult to do both well.” On this episode of Next Question, Katie and Julia discuss the challenges of maintaining a healthy sense of self worth — a central theme of Julia's new movie, You Hurt my Feelings. They also candidly discuss the ways that older women feel “liberated” from these concerns, as Julia has learned from her new hit podcast, Wiser Than Me (hint: they “don't give a shit”). Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the host of the new podcast Wiser Than Me produced by Lemonada Media. Want to be a know-it-all? Subscribe to Wake Up Call, our jam-packed newsletter.

Where do comedy writers for TV hits like Seinfeld get their start? Legends, welcomes comedy writer and stand up comedian Pat Hazell. He was one of the original writers of NBC's Seinfeld. Along with his friend Matt, they introduced Elaine Benes. He is now the host of the popular podcast "Creativity in Captivity" where he converses with the most creative people on the planet. Pat is also a Tonight Show veteran, playwright and mentor to many.
Cette semaine dans AMIES, on se plonge dans une épopée romantique de 2h40, un long-métrage qui a reçu neuf Oscars dont celui du meilleur film, une histoire qui a fait hurler de frustration Elaine Benes dans Seinfeld: Le Patient anglais. Le film raconte deux histoires en parallèle: celle de Juliette Binoche (Hana) et son patient anglais (interprété par Ralph Fiennes) entrecoupée de flashbacks de l'histoire d'amour entre László Almásy (Ralph Fiennes) et Katharine Clifton (Kristin Scott Thomas). Après le visionnage, Anaïs comprend-elle la réaction d'Elaine Benes devant Le Patient anglais? Va-t-elle revoir le film? Et surtout, a-t-elle trouvé Ralph Fiennes fine? Après la découverte de Friends par Anaïs puis de Twin Peaks par Marie, les deux amies vont, à tour de rôle, explorer deux genres du cinéma: les films d'horreur et les films romantiques. Cris, rires et larmes sont au programme. AMIES est un podcast d'Anaïs Bordages et Marie Telling, produit et réalisé par Slate.fr sous la direction de Christophe Carron et Benjamin Saeptem Hours.

We welcome Jessi Couture, self proclaimed Chef, Foodie, Feminist, Women's rights advocate, equal rights activist and Jermey Elliott who represent some of DFW's finest Bartenders and Service Industry Professionals. You can find them at Truth and Alibi, Bitter End, Tiny Victory and soon at Double D's in the Design District.Jermey and his partners are opening a new bar called Double D's - a 70's themed lounge with sexy vibes- they will be serving popcorn and pizzas. Jessi is a real life Elaine Benes from Seinfeld - crazy things tend to always happen to her - it is like a constant reality TV show. Jessi tells us the craziest story that has ever happened to her - this story is insane - she worked for a diamond jeweler that turned out to be the biggest con artist who stole over 5 Million Dollars in diamonds from people by targeting widows. Don't miss this story - it involves the Secret Service agent as Mitt Romney and District Attorney and Jessi had to testify in court. He used Jessi to smuggle the stolen diamonds.When he found out that Jessi ratted him out he started following, stalking, chasing and threatening her. In the end Pete Minassian got convicted and had to serve 4 1/2 years in prison. He recently got released and is roaming the streets freely. He actually showed up at Bottled Blonde where Jessi was working and she had him thrown out immediately. Then we learn all about how difficult it is to date in the DFW night club scene. Jessi is a huge believer in "CHICKS BEFORE DICKS". They say dating is like a cesspool in Dallas. Jermey thinks its because they work in sexy places where it is dark lighting, fun music and alcohol. People see them as different people than they are in real life. Their hours are super difficult to deal with. People they date get super jealous which is understandable since they are constantly getting hit on. Texas has the most beautiful women working in the industry - some of their boyfriends come into the bar to see what they are doing. Jessi recently dated someone - it was awesome for 2 weeks - that is all he could handle of her schedule and it was over before it even began. Jermey gives us a rundown of the places he has worked and that he wants to work in the industry for the rest of his life. Then we talk all about Men being hunters, terrible communicators, having a sensitivity chip missing and that all that is driven by society as little boys were raised not to cry, Men's huge egos.How us women still like old fashioned courtship, old school romance values and respect. https://www.instagram.com/jessixcouture/https://www.instagram.com/jermeygelliott/
Wow. When you drop the ball, the best path is complete ownership. So, here I am owning my blunder(s)! Not only did I have the wrong date for my scheduled appearance (episode forthcoming!) But I had an overly intuitive (intrusive?) Social Media platform all wrong and I am here to make it right. In just about 10 mins, I fall on every sword there is to fall on...ok, it's just two but they are big ones. We often mock or ridicule what we do not understand and that was the case with my perception of Tic Toc and, in under 12 minutes, I cleanse all my misconceptions and do my best to promote the platform for what it is and that is whatever you want it to be! Anyway, in the immortal words of Elaine Benes "stuff your sorry's in a sack mister!" Hope you enjoy and we will see you next week! #tictoc #Seinfeld #stuffyoursorrysinasack #elainebenes #theelaine #socialmedia #bigbrother #costanza
Whether she's barreling down the Van Wyck or breaking down in Boca Raton, Elaine Benes is gold, Jerry!

With all of the very strong opinions surrounding women's autonomy over their bodies, one topic is always somehow up for discussion: birth control. Many women rushed to get IUDs put in after the 2016 election out of fear of what laws might be coming down the pipeline. Many more rely on other methods - either because they love their sleep and wine too much, or because it isn't the right time in their lives to become a mother. Either way, you *may* want to stockpile your preferred option in case it's taken off the market. Sounds crazy, but Elaine Benes learned the hard way. Join LJ and Di as they talk through the Seinfeld episode “The Sponge” and discuss who is sponge-worthy. (Hint: Luke Danes is sponge-worthy)

DragonflyBSD 4.8.1 has been released, we explore how the X11 clipboard works, and look at OpenBSD gaming resources. This episode was brought to you by Headlines LLVM, Clang and compiler-rt support enhancements (https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/llvm_clang_and_compiler_rt) In the last month I started with upstream of the code for sanitizers: the common layer and ubsan. I worked also on the elimination of unexpected failures in LLVM and Clang. I've managed to achieve, with a pile of local patches, the number of 0 unexpected bugs within LLVM (check-llvm) and 3 unexpected bugs within Clang (check-clang) (however these ones were caused by hardcoded environment -lstdc++ vs -lc++). The number of failures in sanitizers (check-sanitizer) is also low, it's close to zero. LLVM In order to achieve the goals of testability concerning the LLVM projects, I had to prepare a new pkgsrc-wip package called llvm-all-in-one that contains 12 active LLVM projects within one tree. The set of these projects is composed of: llvm, clang, compiler-rt, libcxx, libcxxabi, libunwind, test-suite, openmp, llgo, lld, lldb, clang-tools-extra. These were required to build and execute test-suites in the LLVM's projects. Ideally the tests should work in standalone packages - built out-of-LLVM-sources - and with GCC/Clang, however the real life is less bright and this forced me to use Clang as the system compiler an all-in-one package in order to develop the work environment with the ability to build and execute unit tests. There were four threads within LLVM: Broken std::callonce with libstdc++. This is an old and well-known bug, which was usually worked around with a homegrown implementation llvm::callonce. I've discovered that the llvm::callonce workaround isn't sufficient for the whole LLVM functionality, as std::callonce can be called internally inside the libstdc++ libraries - like within the C++11 futures interface. This bug has been solved by Joerg Sonnenberger in the ELF dynamic linker. Unportable shell construct hardcoded in tests ">&". This has been fixed upstream. LLVM JIT. The LLVM Memory generic allocator (or page mapper) was designed to freely map pages with any combination of the protection bits: R,W,X. This approach breaks on NetBSD with PaX MPROTECT and requires redesign of the interfaces. This is the continuation of the past month AllocateRWX and ReleaseRWX compatibility with NetBSD improvements. I've prepared few variations of local patches addressing these issues and it's still open for discussion with upstream. My personal preference is to remove the current API entirely and introduce a newer one with narrowed down functionality to swap between readable (R--), writable (RW-) and executable (R-X) memory pages. This would effectively enforce W^X. Sanitizers support. Right now, I keep the patches locally in order to upstream the common sanitizer code in compiler-rt. The LLVM JIT API is the last cause of unexpected failures in check-llvm. This breaks MCJIT, ORCJIT and ExecutionEngine libraries and causes around 200 unexpected failures within tests. Clang I've upstreamed a patch that enables ubsan and asan on Clang's frontend for NetBSD/amd64. This support isn't complete, and requires sanitizers' support code upstreamed to compiler-rt. compiler-rt The current compiler-rt tasks can be divided into: upstream sanitizer common code shared with POSIX platforms upstream sanitizer common code shared with Linux and FreeBSD upstream sanitizer common code shared with FreeBSD upstream sanitizer common code specific to NetBSD build, execute and pass tests for sanitizer common code in check-santizer This means that ubsan, asan and the rest of the specific sanitizers wait in queue. All the mentioned tasks are being worked on simultaneously, with a soft goal to finish them one after another from the first to the last one. The last point with check-sanitizer unveiled so far two generic bugs on NetBSD: Return errno EFAULT instead of EACCES on memory fault with read(2)/write(2)-like syscalls. Honor PTHREADDESTRUCTORITERATIONS in libpthread. These bugs are not strictly real bugs, but they were introducing needless differences with other modern POSIX systems. The fixes were introduced by Christos Zoulas and backported to NetBSD-8. Plan for the next milestone I have decided not to open new issues in with the coming month and focus on upstreaming the remaining LLVM code. The roadmap for the next month is to continue working on the goals of the previous months. std::call_once is an example that every delayed bug keeps biting again and again in future. LLVM 5.0.0 is planned to be released this month (August) and there is a joint motivation with the upstream maintainer to push compatibility fixes for LLVM JIT. There is an option to submit a workaround now and introduce refactoring for the trunk and next version (6.0.0). This work was sponsored by The NetBSD Foundation.

Encompassing over 150 Mbytes (and growing) of cutting-edge operating systems, networking, and applications software, BSD is a fully functional and nonproprietary complete operating systems software distribution (see Figure 1). In fact, every version of UNIX available from every vendor contains at least some Berkeley UNIX code, particularly in the areas of filesystems and networking technologies. However, unless one could pay the high cost of site licenses and equipment, access to this software was simply not within the means of most individual programmers and smaller research groups. The 386BSD project was established in the summer of 1989 for the specific purpose of porting BSD to the Intel 80386 microprocessor platform so that the tools this software offers can be made available to any programmer or research group with a 386 PC. In coordination with the Computer Systems Research Group (CSRG) at the University of California at Berkeley, we successively ported a basic research system to a common AT class machine (see, Figure 2), with the result that approximately 65 percent of all 32-bit systems could immediately make use of this new definition of UNIX. We have been refining and improving this base port ever since. By providing the base 386BSD port to CSRG, our hope is to foster new interest in Berkeley UNIX technology and to speed its acceptance and use worldwide. We hope to see those interested in this technology build on it in both commercial and noncommercial ventures. In this and following articles, we will examine the key aspects of software, strategy, and experience that encompassed a project of this magnitude. We intend to explore the process of the 386BSD port, while learning to effectively exploit features of the 386 architecture for use with an advanced operating system. We also intend to outline some of the tradeoffs in implementation goals which must be periodically reexamined. Finally, we will highlight extensions which remain for future work, perhaps to be done by some of you reading this article today. Note that we are assuming familiarity with UNIX, its concepts and structures, and the basic functions of the 386, so we will not present exhaustive coverage of these areas. In this installment, we discuss the beginning of our project and the initial framework that guided our efforts, in particular, the development of the 386BSD specification. Future articles will address specific topics of interest and actual nonproprietary code fragments used in 386BSD. Among the future areas to be covered are: 386BSD process context switching Executing the first 386BSD process on the PC 386BSD kernel interrupt and exception handling 386BSD INTERNET networking ISA device drivers and system support 386BSD bootstrap process *** X11: How does “the” clipboard work (https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2017-04-02/0/POSTING-en.html) > If you have used another operating system before you switched to something that runs X11, you will have noticed that there is more than one clipboard: > Sometimes, you can use the mouse to select some text, switch to another window, and then hit the middle mouse button to paste text. > Sometimes, you can select text, then hit some hotkey, e.g. Ctrl+C, switch to another window, hit another hotkey, e.g. Ctrl+V, and paste said text. > Sometimes, you can do both. > Selections as a form of IPC First things first, in X11 land, “clipboards” are called “selections”. Yes, there is more than one selection and they all work independently. In fact, you can use as many selections as you wish. In theory, that is. When using selections, you make different clients communicate with each other. This means that those clients have to agree on which selections to use. You can't just invent your own selection and then expect Firefox to be compatible with it. How are selections identified? There are three “standard” selection names: PRIMARY: The “middle mouse clipboard” SECONDARY: Virtually unused these days CLIPBOARD: The “Ctrl+C clipboard” Program 1: Query selection owners Content type and conversion Program 2: Get clipboard as UTF-8 Program 3: Owning a selection Program 4: Content type TARGETS Handling binary data using xclip Large amounts of data Clipboard managers Summary News Roundup TrueOS Documentation: A great way to give back! (https://www.trueos.org/blog/trueos-documentation-great-way-give-back/) The TrueOS project is always looking for community contribution. Documentation changes are a great way for users to not only make a solid contribution to the project, but learn more about it too! Over the last few months, many users have asked for both simple and detailed instructions on making documentation changes. These are now added to the TrueOS handbook in the Contributing to TrueOS section. If interested in making a small alteration to the TrueOS handbook, here are some instructions for submitting a patch through the GitHub website. These instructions are also applicable to the Lumina and SysAdm handbooks. Lumina documentation is in the the lumina-docs repository, and SysAdm guides are in sysadm-docs. Make a Doc change! A GitHub account is required to submit patches to the TrueOS docs. Open a web browser and sign in to GitHub or make a new account. When making a new account, be sure to use an often checked email address, as all communication regarding patches and pull requests are sent to this address. Navigate to the trueos-docs GitHub repository. Click on the trueos-handbook directory to view all the documentation files. Open the .rst file corresponding to the chapter needing an update. The chapter names are reflected in the title of the .rst files. For example, open install.rst to fix an error spotted in handbook chapter 3: “Install”. This first image shows the trueos-docs repository and the contents of the trueos-handbook directory Open the desired chapter file by clicking its entry in the list. The trueos.rst file is an index file and should be ignored. Begin editing the file by clicking the Pencil icon in the upper right corner above the file's text. The file moves to edit mode, where it is now possible to make changes, as the next image shows. Editing install.rst with GitHub When making a simple change, it is recommended to avoid adjusting the specific formatting elements and instead work within or around them. Once satisfied, scroll to the bottom of the page and write a detailed commit summary of the new changes. Click Propose file change (green button), then Create pull request to submit the changes to the project. GitHub then does an automated merge check. Click Create pull request again to submit the change to the repository.

The Sphinx website is also a valuable resource. libHijack Revival (https://www.soldierx.com/news/Hijack-Revival) Over a decade ago, while standing naked and vulnerable in the comfort of my steaming hot shower, I gathered my thoughts as humans typically attempt to do in the wee hours of the morning. Thoughts of a post-exploitation exercise raced in my mind, the same thoughts that made sleeping the night before difficult. If only I could inject into Apache some code that would allow me to hook into its parsing engine without requiring persistance. Putting a file-backed entry into /proc/pid/maps would tip off the security team to a compromise. The end-goal was to be able to send Apache a special string and have Apache perform a unique action based on the special string. FelineMenace's Binary Protection Schemes whitepaper provided inspiration. Silvio Cesare paved the way into PLT/GOT redirection attacks. Various Phrack articles selflessly contributed to the direction I was to head. Alas, in the aforementioned shower, an epiphany struck me. I jumped as an awkward stereotypical geek does: like an elaborate Elaine Benes dance rehearsal in the air. If I used PTrace, ELF, and the PLT/GOT to my advantage, I could cause the victim application to allocate anonymous memory mappings arbitrarily. In the newly-created memory mapping, I could inject arbitrary code. Since a typical operating system treats debuggers as God-like applications, the memory mapping could be mapped without write access, but as read and execute only. Thus enabling the stealth that I sought. The project took a few years to develop in my spare time. I ended up creating several iterations, taking a rough draft/Proof-of-Concept style code and rewriting it to be more efficient and effective. I had toyed with FreeBSD off-and-on for over a decade by this point, but by-and-large I was still mostly using Linux. FreeBSD gained DTrace and ZFS support, winning me over from the Linux camp. I ported libhijack to FreeBSD, giving it support for both Linux and FreeBSD simultaneously. In 2013, I started work on helping Oliver Pinter with his ASLR implementation, which was originally destined to be upstreamed to FreeBSD. It took a lot of work, and my interest in libhijack faded. As a natural consequence, I handed libhijack over to SoldierX, asking the community to take it and enhance it. Over four years went by without a single commit. The project was essentially abandoned. My little baby was dead. This past week, I wondered if libhijack could even compile on FreeBSD anymore. Given that four years have passed by and major changes have happened in those four years, I thought libhijack would need a major overhaul just to compile, let alone function. Imagine my surprise when libhijack needed only a few fixups to account for changes in FreeBSD's RTLD. Today, I'm announcing the revival of libhijack. No longer is it dead, but very much alive. In order to develop the project faster, I've decided to remove support for Linux, focusing instead on FreeBSD. I've removed hundreds of lines of code over the past few days. Supporting both FreeBSD and Linux meant some code had to be ugly. Now the beautification process has begun. I'm announcing the availability of libhijack 0.7.0 today. The ABI and API should be considered unstable as they may change without notice. Note that HardenedBSD fully mitigates libhijack from working with two security features: setting security.bsd.unprivilegedprocdebug to 0 by default and the implementation of PaX NOEXEC. The security.bsd.unprivilegedprocdebug sysctl node prevents PTrace access for applications the debugger itself did not fork+execve for unprivileged (non-root) users. Privileged users (the root account) can use PTrace to its fullest extent. HardenedBSD's implementation of PaX NOEXEC prevents the creation of memory mappings that are both writable and executable. It also prevents using mprotect to toggle between writable and executable. In libhijack's case, FreeBSD grants libhijack the ability to write to memory mappings that are not marked writable. Debuggers do this to set breakpoints. HardenedBSD behaves differently due to PaX NOEXEC. Each memory mapping has a notion of a maximum protection level. When a memory mapping is created, if the write bit is set, then HardenedBSD drops the execute bit from the maximum protection level. When the execute bit is set at memory mapping creation time, then the write bit is dropped from the maximum protection level. If both the write and execute bits are set, then the execute bit is silently dropped from both the mapping creation request and the maximum protection level. The maximum protection level is always obeyed, even for debuggers. Thus we see that PaX NOEXEC is 100% effective in preventing libhijack from injecting code into a process. Here is a screenshot showing PaX NOEXEC preventing libhijack from injecting shellcode into a newly-created memory mapping. What's next for libhijack? Here's what we have planned, in no particular order: Python bindings Port to arm64 This requires logic for handling machine-dependent code. High priority. Finish anonymous shared object injection. This requires implementing a custom RTLD from within libhijack. More cleanups.

I'm looking for a way to help. I have no specific expertise, but I'm willing to learn.” Today, I present such junior programmers with an opportunity. An opportunity for you to learn skills that will be incredibly valuable to your career, and will simultaneously expand your career opportunities. For decades, FreeBSD has relied on its users for testing. They expect users to install pre-release versions of the OS and exercise them to identify regressions. That's necessary, but it's nowhere near enough. The FreeBSD Testing Project is building an automated test suite for the entire operating system. They have a whole mess of work to do. There's only four people on the team, so each additional person that contributes can have a serious impact. They have tutorials on how to write tests, and sample tests. There's a whole bunch of tests left to be written. You have an almost open field. They need tests for everything from ls(1) to bhyve. (Yes, ls(1) broke at one point in the last few years.) Everything needs testing. Learning to write, submit, and commit small tests is valuable experience for developing the big tests. What's more, learning to write tests for a system means learning the system. Developing tests will transform you into a FreeBSD expert. Once you've demonstrated your competence, worth, and ability to work within the project, other FreeBSD teams will solicit your help and advice. The Project will suck you in. Testing is perhaps the most valuable contribution anyone can make to an open source project. And this door into the FreeBSD Project is standing wide, wide open.
