Is there any EU store where I can buy #BSD hoodies and t-shirts?
I need to update my wardrobe to spread some love in the windows world

With the release of #OpenBSD 7.7 https://www.openbsd.org/77.html fast approaching, you could do worse than prepare for the event by reading "You Have Installed OpenBSD. Now For The Daily Tasks." https://nxdomain.no/~peter/openbsd_installed_now_for_the_daily_tasks.html, and explore the system for what it can offer.

I finally had some free time to finish up this OpenBSD "base only" guide.

It isn't as perfect as I'd like it to be, but if I don't release the mini-site it'll be in limbo forever 😛

You Have Installed OpenBSD. Now For The Daily Tasks.

Despite some persistent rumors, installing OpenBSD is both quick and easy on most not too exotic hardware. But once the thing is installed, what is daily life with the most secure free operating system like?

The REAL take-away from this all?

The *BSD community is utterly amazing and without all these people mentioned and without all these services I wouldn't get very far. Best. Crowd. Ever.

Now that it's official, I can announce it - although I may have dropped a few hints earlier! 😉

My talk "Why (and how) we’re migrating many of our servers from Linux to the BSDs" has been accepted, and I’ll be honored to present it in June at BSDCan in Ottawa.

The joy of meeting BSD friends in person again (and those I haven’t had the chance to meet live yet) will be immense, and the honor of sharing my story in Canada is truly beyond measure, especially considering the level of other talks and all the people attending.

Of course, I’ll be bringing various BSD Cafe gadgets with me!

When I launched the #BoxyBSD project my goal was to create a welcoming, free space for beginners to dive into BSD-based systems and learn at their own pace. I’m a huge fan of free and open-source software, so I naturally gravitated toward Matrix for the chat setup right from the start. But honestly, #Matrix isn’t always the smoothest ride - especially for newcomers. It can get a bit tricky, and that’s the last thing I want when I’m trying to make people feel at ease. My focus is on helping beginners get comfortable, encouraging them to experiment, and letting them discover the value of #BSD (like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, etc.) for themselves - not throwing them into something that might feel overwhelming.
That’s why I decided to add a Discord server alongside Matrix. It’s just simpler for a lot of people, and I want to meet folks where they’re at. But I’m not a fan of scattered conversations across platforms - it drives me nuts - so I’ve bridged the main channels on Discord and Matrix. That way, we’re all still chatting together, no matter which spot you prefer - simply one thing: #RUNBSD!

I'm pleased to announce that my company, Prodottoinrete Group SRL, will be a BRONZE SPONSOR of EuroBSDCon 2025.

The organizers do a great job managing everything, and the least we can do is offer a (small) contribution to help the conference maintain the current standards, which, in my opinion, are extremely high.

So, a big thank you to the organizers, the speakers, and everyone who contributes to making this event so great.

#Docker alike container management on #FreeBSD? Let's have a look at #Kleene - which works very similar to Docker and makes the shift for Linux users even easier to #Jails without having deeper knowledge but by benefiting of all the features on Jails.

About a month ago, while talking with a colleague who had experience only with Linux, he mentioned that he knew of the BSDs but had never "had the courage" to try them. I suggested he give them a shot, reminding him not to think of BSDs as "just another Linux" but as entirely different operating systems. Focusing on security, I recommended OpenBSD - also mentioning HardenedBSD, sure it would pique his interest.

A few hours ago, he called me about something else and confirmed that for weeks now, he's been using OpenBSD on his laptop (disk encrypted), FreeBSD on two servers, and NetBSD on an embedded device at home. He plans to experiment with HardenedBSD and DragonflyBSD in the coming weeks.

However, he did have one complaint: we've known each other for five years, and I never encouraged him to try this earlier! 😀
