When I'm asked why OpenBSD is good and that I want to reply honestly, I have no argument.

From a technical point of view, I can't tell any strong benefits using OpenBSD, NetBSD or FreeBSD over Linux, although this doesn't mean they are bad.

It would be easy for me to be "cargo-culting" facts, being a "fanboy" or enumerating features that are exclusive to one (and they are rare, except if you are looking for the very very same feature!).

The truth is that what one OS will do better than an other, it will also do worse in another area.

It's important that we keep the BSD systems as relevant Linux alternatives: for software diversity, innovation and freedom of choice.

    This week, I had to do some work with Linux, so I found myself working with Alpine Linux again. And, of course, one of the worst and most absurd security vulnerabilities in recent times popped up. 😆
    Fortunately, none of my setups met the conditions required for exploitation.

    That said, I've been running some interesting experiments on a Raspberry Pi 4, the same one that has been running FreeBSD for quite some years, hosting a Time Machine service in a jail and handling backups from other servers.

    Long story short, I installed Alpine Linux on the Raspberry Pi and moved FreeBSD into a KVM virtual machine, with the disks passed through directly to it.

    The result? The VM runs beautifully with 3 GB of RAM (possibly even 2 GB), and I still have the rest of the Raspberry Pi available to run OpenBSD, NetBSD, and other systems I need for different setups.

    It's a sad that bhyve doesn't (yet) support virtualization on that device. Or at least, that was still the case the last time I checked.

            Next Saturday at 2026, I'll tell the story of one of the longest nights of my career.

            On 10 March 2021, I had just fallen asleep when the alerts started arriving. One server down. Then another. And another.
            Different servers, different workloads, one thing in common: the OVHcloud Strasbourg data centre.

            Then came the news: SBG2 was on fire.

            I had 142 servers there.

            The mission for the night was simple to state: bring the critical services back before 8, then recover everything else as quickly as possible.

            This talk is about what happened next. The things that worked, the architectural choices that saved us, and especially the ones that failed when we needed them most.

            And it's also the story of why that night changed the way I design infrastructure, and why BSD systems became such an important part of it.

            The night 142 of my servers went up in the clouds. Physically.

                              Although I'm the Barista at BSD Cafe and illumos Cafe, I've always enjoyed using some Linux distributions as well.

                              Just as I did with my article and installation script for Void Linux on ZFS (which I've since updated to use a TUI, although it still needs some polishing before I publish it), I'll be sharing articles and other material about Alpine Linux over the coming weeks.

                              And something I've been using for quite a long time already will, I believe, be particularly interesting to many of you.

                              Stay tuned!

                                                                                        This morning, I went to the doctor for a scheduled appointment. While she was looking at the results of blood tests from two years ago on the screen (and suggested repeating them for a follow-up), I realized she was using Windows 11. A detail came to mind. The doctor is extremely polite and friendly, so I asked her, "How do you handle the feature called Recall?" The doctor was taken aback and had no idea what I was talking about. I was about to drop the conversation, but she, being a serious professional, immediately called the technicians who manage their PCs to ask for clarification. They downplayed it, saying it's not an issue and that it's a feature "on all PCs, so we can't do anything about it." She started to express that she didn’t like it and wanted it deactivated. No luck: they won’t proceed because, according to them, even deactivating it is "a hack that could compromise future updates." She’s furious and will talk to her colleagues and the decision-makers. She wants secure systems because "there’s patient data involved."

                                                                                        In reality, patient data is stored on servers (which I haven't investigated), but everything that appears on the screen is, in my opinion, at risk.

                                                                                        I’ve offered to help them find a solution—because, if I'm right, all they need is LibreOffice and a browser. In that case, I’ll suggest one of the *BSD or Linux systems and do it for free.

                                                                                        I don’t want to make money off my doctor. I just want patient data to be (sufficiently) secure.
