Next Saturday at #EuroBSDCon 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.

More on KDE's fight for #efficiency: We have driven down the number of unconfirmed #bug reports to its lowest levels in over a decade and are managing to keep it there.

To improve that number further, we need your help:

2 days of running #OpenBSD as a daily driver has been smooth as silk. I fixed the touchpad issue on my thinkpad and getting a linux VM setup for my web dev build and deploys was way easier than FreeBSD.

I am absolutely loving this operating system. it's solid, doesn't eat resources, and is simply a joy to use. I'm now seriously considering nuking my nixos partition and just putting debian or bazzite on it for only gaming.

A veritable smörgåsbord of new features lands in your favourite apps with KDE Gear ⚙️ 26.08!

Dolphin improves its integration with KDE Connect, Konsole revamps its drag'n'drop features, Kdenlive's titler gets more functionalities, and Okular's annotations more power.

And much more where that came from:

Linus Torvalds schlägt sich auf die #KI Seite und wem das nicht passt, soll woanders hin wechseln.

Also meine Frage: Sind #BSD Derivate auch #Linux und davon betroffen oder hat deren Unterbau nichts mit dessen #Kernel zu tun?

Gäbe es noch andere Alternativen?

#Arch #Debian #RedHat


If I can't trust that the #Linux kernel won't be slop-free, looks like it's time to consider #BSD for the first time in three decades or so.
Therefore, I'm going to need some input.
Advice on which BSD for desktop use.

New to FreeBSD? Choosing the right installation image is a great place to start.

A member of the FreeBSD community recently shared a helpful walkthrough explaining the different FreeBSD installation images and when to use each one, including:
• DVD images
• Boot-only (network install)
• USB memory stick images

Watch the video:

FreeBSD 15 + CDE is probably the closest you can get to sitting in front of a high-end UNIX workstation without owning a time machine.

Running Common Desktop Environment in 2026 feels strangely refreshing. No blur effects, no Electron, no notifications fighting for attention, No ai written code, just Motif, terminals, man pages, and a desktop paradigm that was already mature before I was born.

Current setup: • FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE • CDE • dtwm • bhyve • Motif everywhere

Today’s activity: reading bhyve(4) manuals and pretending I'm a UNIX admin in 1996.

By the way, we also use a #BSD for our instance 🙃

I am assisting an educational podcast project doing the sysadmin for them. Happy that I was able to advocate for #BSD. We went with httpd(8) #OpenBSD for this, in the end it is just the feed.xml and some MP3/M4A-files. So exactly what the web is for. However, #Apple refuses the feed saying httpd does not support byte-ranges. Looking at the change logs, it should be supported since 5.8 (openbsd.org/plus58.html). And testing all this with curl does return a 206 and provides me with a working chunk of data. What am I missing here? #NetBSD #FreeBSD #smallweb #podcast #podcasts

The #freebsd experiment continues as I try to make a proper useful workstation out of it.

I've got video and sound and internet working. But while I work, I need some music.

Maybe I'll install the #spotify app? Nope.. not on BSD.

No problem, I"ll use the web based player.. Also NO apparently as you can't enable #drm in firefox in #bsd ?

Is this true or am I missing something? I'm trying to go pure BSD and not use Linux compatibility. But doesn't seem possible?

If anyone wants to recruit a senior R&D code monkey with multiple degrees for a job that will involve neither "AI" bullshit nor "blockchain" bullshit nor "HFT" bullshit nor killing people nor destroying the planet just for the heck of it...

I get cheaper and cheaper by the minute as things descend deeper and deeper into nutty "More cloud and more AI will fix it!!" chaos around me.

Located in Germany. Will only work remote as we're tied to this place due to aging parental units. Strong preference for something related to actual green technology such as solar.

Finally, I managed to install and configure a graphical environment directly during a #FreeBSD installation session 🎉

Most of the friction was around GPU drivers, but the feedback and suggestions I received were incredibly helpful. A lot of people want to use FreeBSD on their laptops and desktops, and that really shows.

For now, the goal was to provide a simple option to install #KDE Plasma. If there’s interest and more requests, we can definitely expand this in the future with additional desktop environments and options.

Special thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for their support 🙌

Ah, thanks for the explanation 👍 I kind of figured that after writing the post. Some Linux distributions do similar things. Desktop Installer sounds excellent 👍 The current script is garbage.

I just had someone explain to me what #XLibre is all about. Has the current version already received improvements and had old code etc. removed? Won't #Wayland also run stably on #BSD in the long term?


Wow,The Ansible connection plugin "jailexec.py", that I created this year, which can be used to automate FreeBSD jails without SSH (via jexec) got used in an example git-repository from the @FreeBSDFoundation 😯

Wir hatten heute ein "kleines Upsi" in der Infrastruktur von burningboard.net. Geht auf meine Kappe! 🙋‍♂️

Wenn man eine Partition löscht, sollte man sich RICHTIG sicher sein, dass man die richtige Partitions-ID verwendet..

Ich wollte die Swap-Partition löschen und größer anlegen und war um eines verrutscht und habe stattdessen die /boot Partition gelöscht (ID 1 statt 2). Nunja, zum Glück haben wir Backups die auch funktionieren 😓 😅

Hätte ich jetzt am Silvester Abend auch nicht unbedingt gebraucht so ein Disaster-Recovery.

grep is a very important command. grep is considered complex by many for no well funded reason.

Why this bold statement?

There are not only man pages available, for all POSIX Operating Systems, but also very good tutorials, even in de Linux documentation project.

Don't think that you'll be able to learn high level grepping in just two, to five minutes. grep is a tool great at doing one thing in a great manner, pure Unix wise.

However

ls -R ~/your_dir | grep string

is already a simple level of grep usage
