Ok I’m considering replacing nginx/haproxy loadbalancers on linux with openbsd+relayd. This to serve/proxy/tls terminate mastodon and nextcloud on linux boxes
Is there prior art that I can remix?
I decided to run #NetBSD on my #OmniOS machine, using #bhyve. And so far, it works.

Yesterday, I decided to dig out from the depths of my closet my old laptop, an HP Pavilion X360. Back in the day, I equipped it with 8 GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. It has a decent 1920x1080 display, not overly bright but touch-enabled. For about 5 years, it was my primary laptop and it worked tirelessly. Eventually, it had a noisy fan, a worn-out battery, and power connector issues.
This morning, I decided to open it up and dismantle it. I removed the battery (it still works without it), I'll need to replace the motherboard's battery, and I'm cleaning the fans and everything else. I want to install something interesting on it and start using it again as a secondary laptop, useful for a bunch of things.
Do you do anything interesting with any of the *BSDs 
? If so, please consider giving a talk at EuroBSDCon, which is held in Dublin, September 19-22. More info on submitting your paper can be found here.

@x00001 Here are my humble machines. The Evoo laptop is my personal beater laptop, but the ThinkPad Yoga and the Precision T1600 are work machines, so I limit what I stick on those. I can't find a recent pic of my Eee PC 901, so I'll have to post that one once I'm home. The Evoo runs #OpenBSD but also has a separate Windows SSD that it came with when I bought it. The ThinkPad runs #FreeBSD, and the Precision also runs OpenBSD.

That Lucy sticker with the pitchfork and horns was stuck on a laptop a student had, so I pulled it and stuck it on the Precision. Thought it was fitting since I #RunBSD on that one.

I'm writing (and will publish on my blog in the next few days) an article about self-hosting some services. In this case, on FreeBSD, but I will also use other BSDs. The ultimate goal is to promote what I often advocate with the hashtag #OwnYourData, which is always to remain the owners of our data.
This first article will be a part of a series on the same topic, but there will be more with different technologies and solutions.
Stay tuned!

There are 10 days left for you to apply for the “Paul Schenkeveld Travel Grant”!
If you are keen on attending next year's conference and require financial support, please consider applying for the "Paul Schenkeveld Travel Grant" for 2024.
You can do this by filling out the contact form[1] before February 1st, 2024, stating who you are, what you are doing with BSD (😈⛳🐡), and why you should receive the grant.
This grant is in recognition Paul's accomplishments and in memory of his work and dedication to the BSD community, the EuroBSDCon Foundation is offering a travel grant in his name.
Paul was one of the few - if not the only one - to have attended all EuroBSDCon conferences since their inception in 2001. Besides his many contributions to BSD in general and the EuroBSDCon conferences in particular, he established the EuroBSDCon Foundation in 2010 to ensure continuity for many more conferences.
The EuroBSDCon Foundation Board will consider all valid submissions in its sole discretion and communicate its selection by March 2024. The selected person will receive travel expense reimbursement and hotel accommodation during the conference as well as free entrance to the conference and social event.
The 2024 edition will be held in Dublin, Ireland.

Right. The Bitlocker key can be obtained in under a minute, by sniffing the TPM. This goes for the most recent build of Windows 11 and includes TPM 2.0.
Fortunately, there is a quick fix. Run #OpenBSD or #HardenedBSD with full disk encryption . Case closed. #RUNBSD
Whoop! I helped @lattera resolve the non-working git clone of the HardenedBSD source tree.
From the januari update:
The issue plaguing git clone https://... of src or ports has been resolved! Major thanks to h3artbl33d for helping resolve this issue.
A little attention or small contribution can go a long way. The *BSD community is perfect in this regard - there are little to none corporate stakeholders - everyone is in it out of passion.
Together we stand strong! #RUNBSD 
It's been an incredibly intense week, and it's only Wednesday. This morning, I had to drive 200 km through icy fog and heavy traffic. However, this afternoon was dedicated to setting up a FreeBSD server.
The client wanted to retain some of the features from their old Linux system. I came up with the idea of directly passing the two physical disks to bhyve and booting them. The boot was immediate, and there were no issues. The new FreeBSD server was up and running, and the 'old' Linux was now operating as a VM, working perfectly on the physical disks.
The client was pleased with the outcome and asked me to set up a native FreeBSD desktop, encrypted because they will store important data. I hadn't installed a FreeBSD desktop recently, but it turned out to be easier than expected (no wifi involved).
I installed xorg, the Nvidia drivers, nvidia-xconfig (which generated the configuration file perfectly), kde5, sddm, Firefox, LibreOffice, the Nextcloud client, and made a few small adjustments to get the keyboard audio buttons working. Even suspend/resume functionality worked flawlessly, which amazed the client.
I then created a jail on the server and set up zfs-autobackup to back up the client's PC on the server (of course, on an encrypted dataset). Time to go home, satisfied with the outcome.
I did an experiment, launched a well known forkbomb (:(){:|:&};:) on both the latest Linux (6.7.2-hardened1-1-hardened) and OpenBSD (7.4-stable), using the same shell (zsh). Both did not have any further protections against forkbombs.
Linux crashed big time, where only a hard reset or powercycle would help. OpenBSD threw a loop of errors (resource temporary unavailable) and the process could easily be killed.
So, I guess the conclusion is... #RUNBSD!
Funny how much reading and surfing the community here on bsd.cafe is inspiring myself lately.
There seems to be always a fun idea/project around the corner. 😎
