@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!

                  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.

                                    This is a 2 SATA bays NAS with an extra single NVMe slot. Looks like a perfect silent NAS-Hypervisor combo. And, it can #RunBSD; although I choose #illumos for it.
