My dear friend, this is (again!) some beautiful art you got there ! This could easily be the artwork for openbsd 7.6 ! If you don't mind me I'd like to mention it on /c/openbsd so your work doesn't go unnoticed? :D

Do as you will, old striped friend.

I’m curious @pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org, what do you like about BSD? How is it “better” than something like Linux? You work has inspired me to try it, so I am going to use it at some point, but before I do, what makes it so good? I have an old ThinkPad lying around that may be perfect for testing it out.

I cannot speak for prahou, but I'm fairly sure we both agree on this:

  • Codebase is clean and lean
  • Security is a first grade citizen
  • Dev team is not afraid to call stuff obsolete and remove/replace stuff
  • It's a full operating system, not just a kernel that you need to build on top of before distributing it
  • Config files syntax is cohérent across the whole OS
  • ~~master~~ Puffy rocks.

Will I ever be as good as the old masters?

Strive to be better than them, Dude.

I guess that's the way the whole darned human comedy keeps perpetuating itself down through the generations.

Westward the wagons, across the sands of time until we...

Oh, look at me. I'm rambling again.

Well, I hope you folks enjoyed yourselves.

Catch you later on down the trail.

Thanks for the good Sarsaparilla, partner. I'll see you around.
