Let's make EuroBSDCon 2025 the best one yet! See you in Zagreb! 🌟

EuroBSDCon 2025 in Zagreb, Croatia 🇭🇷
September 25-28, 2025

I've run various Linux distros, but with little exposure to other Unix-like operating systems. I want to explore different ways of doing things on a computer, and I'm curious about the BSDs. I've briefly looked at FreeBSD and NetBSD.

Now I'm giving OpenBSD a go with beginner's mind.

I use the OpenBSD install image to create an encrypted, console-only base configuration that can be customized further for various tasks.

This is how I do it...

From Ironclad Operating system Developer:

"Since we are talking about the US...

This 14 at 11 am PST Ironclad is having an online presentation at UC Berkeley's IEEE branch (the home of the BSD family of OSes) talking a bit about Ironclad as a project and how formal verification can help operating system development.

Ill share here (whenever I have it) a jitsy link for joining the presentation for those interested"

Even Gplv3 licensed project but interesting one for everyone interested in #osdev

`man xterm` is... a very long read. But interesting! 🙂

I haven't messed with xterm in years until today, and I used these posts to help bang it into shape on OpenBSD:

Though written in 2016, the information is still very relevant in 2025.
