one should not chase the electric dream, but strive to became an extension to its dreamer

Automatism in the age of the children of Unix.

It's a box of antique photographs. A blade, a girl and a fish. Whatever it means, you're invested.

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.
