At SCALE 23x, we asked a simple question:
Why do you love FreeBSD?

From performance and security to documentation, ZFS, and the community itself, the answers filled the board quickly.

FreeBSD means different things to different people:
Now we’re asking you.

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

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.
