From March 5-8th I had the pleasure of heading down to Pasadena, CA for the 23rd annual @socallinuxexpo

Great people, great talks, I had a wonderful time which I've written about here: https://princessleia.com/journal/2026/03/scale-23x/ #scale23x

SCaLE 23x – pleia2's blog

Last week I had the pleasure of attending SCaLE 23x in Pasadena, California. I love SCaLE, it’s probably my favorite conference. It’s big, but it still feels so local, and I always walk away having met new, exceptional people, and with the warmth of connection I feel from seeing some of my closest friends in […]

So at #scale23x @ShadowApex told me they liked how #k8s does configs and here is what it looks like for InputPlumber ... which is for #linux handhelds.

I TOLD YOU CLOUD NATIVE DESKTOP.

Thanks to everyone who came by the booth to chat with us. Hope you got some great swag!

At SCALE 23x, we had the opportunity to speak with Harlan Stenn, President and Board Chair of the Network Time Foundation.

Harlan shared how he began using FreeBSD in the early days, testing it alongside other systems, and ultimately chose to run it on all his machines because it was stable, reliable, and simply worked.

It’s always powerful to hear from long-time contributors who have seen FreeBSD evolve over decades and still trust it today.

Thank you to the 200+ attendees who stopped by Booth #112 to connect, share stories, and talk about what you're building with FreeBSD or how you got started with FreeBSD.

The energy this year was a testament to the strength of the open-source community, from longtime contributors to those discovering FreeBSD for the first time.

If you're just getting started with FreeBSD, here’s a clear place to begin:

See you at the next one.
