    Good bye to Zagreb and my first @EuroBSDCon. It's been great to meet the people, and learn about all the cool stuff happening in the community.

    Thanks for the opportunity to talk about my work on OpenJDK on FreeBSD, and to everyone for making it an enjoyable experience. Hope to see you all next time!

      @EuroBSDCon was a blast as always. The amount of work put in by the organisers is incredible, and both the local crew (Karlo and friends, you've been a great help and I owe you an audio cable!) and the video gang (@mischa@exquisite.social, your camera saved the day .. reluctantly; @dexter and the rest of the @bsdtv gang y'all gonna need better dongles ;) bent over backwards to accommodate my somewhat eccentric needs.

      If anyone is interested in what I had to say (and hand out) during my talk, the QR code at the end leads to http://anduin.net/l.htm - go grab your copy in any of three formats: Bootable floppy, zipped TheDraw files, or PDF (boo!).

      I met too many awesome people to count, much less remember the names of everyone, but I truly hope those of you who want to reach out will do so. My DMs are open ;)

      The social overload from this weekend will quickly turn into the pain of missing the company of this extended family. Can't wait to see you again in Brussels - or at any time before that if you visit Oslo!

        @ltning explaining how to thwart bots and internet nasties using ASCII art, lua, nginx and a 386! Of course at @EuroBSDCon 2025.

          NetBSD really is everywhere:

          "Its extensive use in spacecraft, including the AeroCube series, BRICSat-P, ITSAT, and NASA's SAMPEX satellite, highlights the OS's exceptional capabilities in meeting the rigorous demands of space missions."

              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!

              * I didn't want to post this until I was fairly certain I could even pull this off..

              Introduction screen from my talk, presented in ANSI art. The words "nginx" and "LUA" in large ANSI fonts in the top left and bottom right corners, with some of the text from the talk description (linked in the post) in the middle.

                Yeah I agree. It's absolutely awesome - also that (and all the other variants) are first-class citizens. Thank you, @grunfink@comam.es!

                  Damn I like the whole css-or-bust approach to styling that has. I mean I know many (most?) others do a bit of the same but this is just delightful.

                  So..TLS aside, what is the most lightweight reverse proxy I can use instead of nginx in front of this thing? You know, in case I would like to move the instance from this beefy PPro to, say, a or a Wii running ? :)
