            Been following the BSD conferences for a while and have not yet had the chance to attend one. But what i have noticed from all the videos and photo's published on social media is that it seems to be a male ( I'm going to include NB folk here too ) dominated event ? Maybe I'm wrong and it's just how the media published distorts the reality ? Apologies if I have offended anyone it certainly isn't my intention.

                          Here we go again, #EuroBSDCon! I may have mentioned it, but it's really happening*: I'm giving a talk again, this time titled:

                          Dirty Tricks: Using #nginx and #Lua to thwart bots and skript kiddies

                          This talk is specifically for anyone who

                          • has tried to host a BBS on the Internet,
                          • is struggling with scrapers and bots,
                          • lives in the #RetroComputing bubble,
                          • wants to see an early '90s PC on stage,
                          • needs a telnet captcha, or
                          • simply has nothing better to do.

                          Read more about it here, take a look at the conference schedule, and buy your ticket!

                          See you there!
