OpenSSH, TCP/IP, Berkely socketsโ€”even viโ€”all came from the BSD camp, and they're everywhere now!

BSD innovations have influenced nearly all of modern computing and don't often get enough credit.

Cheers to all the unsung engineers (and to Bill Joy for half of that list at least!) ๐Ÿป

      just rollinโ€™ in this VM. If I knew where my old MacBook was, Iโ€™d go ahead and slap OpenBSD on there (I think thatโ€™s the one that runs best on those) and just sail for a while. Meantime once I get it all set up Iโ€™ll post my first toot from it.

        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!

                      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!
