Exactly one month from today, I'll be at #BSDCan to present my talk "Why (and how) we're migrating many of our servers from Linux to the BSDs" (AKA: "I solve problems").

As the days go by, I feel increasingly honored to be a speaker at this event, more and more excited to live an experience similar to the incredible one I had last September at #EuroBSDCon in Dublin, and more confident than ever in the technical choices I’ve made over the years - which I’ll be happy to share.

BSD conferences aren’t just technical events - they’re snapshots of the BSD community as a whole: friendly, collaborative, pragmatic, and positive.

To everyone attending: see you in Ottawa!

DragonFlyBSD Sees Progress On UVC Webcam Support

「 While UVC web cameras have long worked well on Linux and various other BSDs and other open-source operating systems, it hasn't been much of a priority for DragonFlyBSD. This BSD operating system though has been seeing work by developer Michael Neumann to port the UVC webcam driver from FreeBSD over to DragonFlyBSD. Additionally, it also ropes in some webcam patches carried by OpenBSD 」

As it approaches, the excitement for the upcoming #BSDCan keeps growing. It'll be my first time in Canada, and therefore my first time at BSDCan, and it will be a great opportunity to meet people I couldn't meet at #EuroBSDCon in Dublin. In the meantime, the next EuroBSDCon is also getting closer. All in all, when I look at the coming months, I feel an overwhelming sense of positivity and enthusiasm!

bsdfetch is a simple tool to show information about a running #FreeBSD / #OpenBSD / #MidnightBSD / #NetBSD / #DragonflyBSD system.

events.bsdnl.nlA packet's journey through pf BSD-NL Conference - Early 2025A walkthrough of a packet's journey through (FreeBSD's) pf, concentrating on the big picture and its implications. We'll cover when packets are inspected, when rules are evaluated and how states are used. Along the way we'll cover what DTrace probes can show us, what some of pfctl's counters mean and just how many times pf can look at a single packet. This talk is intended for firewall admins looking for a deeper understanding and aspiring pf developers. It is not a "How to use pf" talk.
