Major Cloud providers have all suffered significant outages recently. At an unprecedented rate. They are firing engineers because of their 'AI'. I wonder if these things are related. #IT #Internet #SysAdmin #Cloudflare
Where Have You Been for the Last 20 Years? Walking away from the BSDCan final reception at Lowertown Brewery, Ottawa. The perfect end to a life-changing experience.
Where Have You Been for the Last 20 Years? | MyNotes
A personal journey from 20 years of self-doubt to discovering the welcoming BSD community at BSDCan. Sometimes courage comes later in life.

 "Just" 270 MB for...an idle server? Debian is still a great distribution but let's measure the ram consumption of a freshly installed *BSD or Illumos based server. The numbers are totally different. #RunBSD #illumos #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #DragonflyBSD View quoted note β†’
The Lady of the Clock The search for an antique clock turns into an encounter with its elderly owner and a promise to become the custodian of a century of memories. A personal reflection on legacy, loss, and the stories objects carry.

This Isn't a Battle After reading a post describing the FreeBSD community as 'toxic', I share a different perspective. This isn't a battle. It's a reflection on coexistence, the original Open Source spirit, and the quiet richness of taking a different path.

I’ve taken many shots like this, every year, with the same subject and in the same place. Yet I’m still fascinated by this perspective. This one is from just a few hours ago: the sunset and the "fragile" flower. A breath of wind will be enough, and the flower, as we see it, will vanish.

No yesterday, no tomorrow - just here, now, basking in this poetic light. And life, silently, flows on. #Photography #Photo #Pic #Sunset #Italy #Italia #Autumn #Fall #Reflections #NaturePhotography #Nature #Life image

"What is BSD? Come to a conference to find out!" It's where the Internet comes from! Read more: https://nxdomain.no/~peter/what_is_bsd_come_to_a_c...
 The BSD conferences are magical. The atmosphere is friendly. It's a family - a good one - with different views but a common goal: making great things, making smart choices in a positive environment. #RunBSD #FreeBSD #NetBSD #OpenBSD #EuroBSDCon #BSDCan #AsiaBSDCon View quoted note β†’
