My BSDCan submission has been approved!
It will be wonderful to be back in Ottawa, meet again all the "old" (and new) friends from the BSD world and, this time, present something that has saved me more than once... and it’s based on NetBSD!

@speedbone @yvan absolutely, and doing it on OpenBSD is great as OpenBSD is probably the best platform for this task.
@mangga oh, it was 🙂 everything was so...static.
@speedbone @yvan it is. But officially unsupported, so it will break if you don't repatch it after upgrades.
That said, I'm using it. But the "ro" option on FreeBSD is officially supported.
@dalem clean and minimal. I like it!
This morning I turned on the coffee machine and made my espresso.
Then I turned it off and organized the rest of breakfast.
After that, I turned the coffee machine on (hey, it warmed up instantly!) and looked for my favorite cup, but I couldn’t find it.
Weird, I was sure it was in the dishwasher, clean.
Then I looked at the table and saw my lovely hot espresso already waiting for me.
If this is how the week starts, I’m not sure I want to imagine how it’s going to continue 😆
Happy Monday, #BSDCafe
Happy Monday, #illumosCafe
Happy Monday, #Fediverse
@pauliehedron Oh, I’m not that lucky!
EDIT: more here: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/116000601385091531
I’ve just received a wonderful email. I’m so excited!
More about this in the coming days.
@mms yes, more or less. 😆
@mms "hey, just run this 1.5k line long shell script that will turn your private computer into something totally managed by a non-deterministic system that could potentially expose all your data to the entire Internet".
And people do it.
And then tomorrow I'll have a call about "system security" because pf on OpenBSD isn't a certified firewall.
Life is hard.
Winter relax, scented of spring
@joshaspinall @justdude @justine I'm currently configuring this for my office.
At the moment, I'm managing around 50 #MikroTik devices. They're all doing great.
I have more or less other 50 devices to be delivered or "just in case". They can be off for years - I upgrade them, reset to default settings and they're ready to do their job in a reliable way.
Oh, and I also have a watchdog!
@EnigmaRotor totally unpredictable. If someone would have told you you'd favorite a "Designed for Microsoft Windows"...
@yvan I'd use OpenBSD or FreeBSD. The good thing is that, if you're using FreeBSD, you can make it read only in a very simple way: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2024/05/31/freebsd-tips-and-tricks-native-ro-rootfs/
@nuintari crapware
@mkj there's a reason behind that sticker. That flush has never been working properly.
@moosecalendar yes, exactly. A #Crapturday
@pythno eheh I remember that when friends asked to go to the toilet, I could clearly hear them laughing
