I nerd sniped myself and wrote a monster article doing a code commentary of /etc/rc from #OpenBSD 7.8: https://overeducated-redneck.net/blurgh/openbsd-init-system.html I learned a ton of my base sysadmin skills from studying init(8), and decided to produce a modern version of that (I learned in the 90s). Also, I have armored my webserver against all bots, and fedi is the only place I syndicate. Boosts are appreciated. #sysadmin #runbsd

I'll probably have two follow up articles in short order (one is already written, as it was the one that sniped me into this; I have solid notes for the other one). I may also do this for NetBSD's init system in the future. This was a decent bit of work, so I probably won't do it for a while.
