This post will guide you through installing isc-dhcpd on OmniOS inside a zone (software virtualized container).
To get started, first install zadm on OmniOS inside the global zone.
This tool makes creating and managing zones simple and is reminiscent of the
vmadm command on SmartOS.
Install zadm:
pkg install zadm
I personally use this config for zadm (shoutouts to
@papertigers for this), but feel free to customize this as you
like.
Check it out, I made an appearance on the Ship It! podcast! It was a great time chatting with Justin and Autumn and I hope this will kick start my podcast-era 😎.
Dave Eddy has learned systems programming the traditional way with books and man pages. Now he’s sharing what he’s learned, starting with bash.

I released my latest album on May 17th, 2024!
My 6th album (5th full-length). Nightfall consists of songs written mostly between 2021 and 2024 with a few notable exceptions capturing the feeling of a long night with an eventual dawn at the end.
Download or stream Nightfall.
This guide will show how to install Void Linux as a guest on OmniOS using hardware virtualization with bhyve.
To get started, first install zadm on OmniOS inside the global zone.
This tool makes creating and managing zones simple and is reminiscent of the
vmadm command on SmartOS.
Install zadm:
pkg install zadm
pkg install zones/brand/bhyve
I personally use this config for zadm (shoutouts to
@papertigers for this), but feel free to customize this as you
like.
I wrote a computer program to generate piano music on the command line. The generation is done with a simple algorithm to create patterns in MIDI format, which is then imported into my DAW to process the data and turn it into music. There is no AI or Machine Learning in this algorithm - the music is programmatically generated and this video covers the algorithm that I created in detail.

I released my latest album on June 1st, 2021!

In 2013, I wrote a program in Node.js called sshp. This was right
around the time I was investing heavily into learning node, and
honestly having a blast doing it. Node is quick and fun to write, and with
only a couple hundred lines of code, I was able to write node-sshp.
node-sshp is a command line utility that acts as a parallelizer for ssh.
It works by taking in a file containing a list of hosts to connect to and
looping over each host firing off an ssh command in parallel (with a
configurable maximum number of concurrent processes). The tool’s description
is:
sshpmanages multiple ssh processes and handles coalescing the output to the terminal. By default,sshpwill read a file of newline-separated hostnames or IPs and fork ssh subprocesses for them, redirecting the stdout and stderr streams of the child line-by-line to stdout ofsshpitself.
Writing this tool in Node was an obvious choice at the time: the company I was working for was using Node heavily, and this tool was written specifically to be used at my job. Managing multiple concurrent child processes and IO streams also made Node the obvious choice.
