Can’t go to #AsiaBSDCon again this year for reasons outside my control :(.

Never been to Taiwan before, I was really looking forward to that and meeting friends again. </3

If you are in tech or interested and have not yet been to a regional #BSD conference, I would recommend you consider going to one.

A short description of the three major ones can be found in my recent piece "What is BSD? Come to a conference to find out!" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/what_is_bsd_come_to_a_conference_to_find_out.html (G-tracked https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2025/11/what-is-bsd-come-to-conference-to-find.html). Fun fact: I'll be at all three this year

This morning I was thinking about something: one of the reasons why every enthusiast should consider going to a BSDCon is simple.

I eat a lot and I still come back slimmer 😄

2024 - EuroBSDCon: ate twice as much as usual, came back from Dublin 1 kg lighter.
2025 - BSDCan: breakfasts that could cover a whole day’s calories, huge delicious meals... came back from Ottawa 0.5 kg lighter.
2025 - EuroBSDCon: double breakfast (sweet + savory), massive lunches, delicious dinners (including a huge pizza, as @outofcreativity, @angie and @mwl can confirm) and still came back 0.5 kg lighter.

Positive emotions burn calories.

So come to BSDCons: you’ll come back happy and slimmer!
