Things the OS authors don't want you to know:

  • The #FreeBSD logo is Beastie, because it reminds you to dare, hack, and stop praying.
  • The #Linux logo is Tux, because even penguins know what it is like to freeze with amdgpu.
  • The #Windows logo is a window, because that is where you throw the PC goes after the third BSOD.
  • The #OpenBSD logo is Puffy, because it’s the only fish that takes security more seriously than being edible.
  • The #NetBSD logo is a flag, because if it boots on your hardware, they claim it as territory.
  • The #DragonFlyBSD logo is a dragonfly, because every time you explain HAMMER2, people suddenly find somewhere else to be.
  • The #macOS logo is an Apple, because one bite costs 999$, no 1999$, no 4999$. They soldered the RAM to keep the worms out.
  • The #ChromeOS logo is #chrome because the operating system is just the browser admitting it won.

Na dann versuche ich mich mal an #FreeBSD ... Ein Bereich, den ich gelegentlich schon mal mit #NetBSD, #DragonFlyBSD und #OpenBSD angegangen war, aber nie wirklich die Geduld hatte, es länger zu verfolgen.

On 10 March 2021, I had only just fallen asleep when my phone started buzzing. Then another notification, and another. In a matter of minutes, 142 of my servers went up in the clouds. And not the cloud-computing kind. Most of them were physically going up in a column of smoke in Strasbourg. My wife looked at me and asked if I wanted a coffee. I nodded. It was going to be a very long day. At EuroBSDCon 2026, I won't be giving a theoretical lecture on high availability. Instead, I’m going to tell the raw story of that night: the emergency recovery, the architectural choices that actually saved us, and the ones that crumbled under pressure (because we rarely talk about what fails). Most of all, I’ll explain why that night changed my perspective, and why I’ve come to see BSD systems not just as operating systems, but as essential, practical tools for building simpler, more resilient infrastructure. The official schedule is now live. If you want to hear a real-world post-mortem, join me on Saturday, 12 Sept at 11:15 (Room D.0.02). EuroBSDCon Full schedule: https://events.eurobsdcon.org/2026/schedule/ See you there! ☕️ #FreeBSD #NetBSD #OpenBSD #DragonFlyBSD #RunBSD #EuroBSDCon #SysAdmin #SelfHosted #IT #EuroBSDCon2026 #BSDCon

@pu@ieji.de That's difficult to answer without a concrete idea of what a dependency is. If it's who develops it, then #GhostBSD's major developers are in Canada, and #MirBSD's major developers are in the E.U./Switzerland. If it's which BSDs would be unaffected if Microsoft-owned GitHub decided to pull the rug out from underneath them, then the answer is rather different. Financial dependencies, and WWW/mail/other hosting dependencies, are different again. #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #MidnightBSD #DragonFlyBSD #NetBSD
