Researching my NYCBUG talk on 1 April reminded me of FretBSD.

In 2003, @dvl and I put up a fake web site about the UN forcing #FreeBSD and #NetBSD to merge. The site is gone, but the text is archived at

https://www.freebsddiary.org/fretbsd.php

A ComputerWorld reporter contacted Dan requesting more details for a story, so: we won!

The fifth paragraph, or #OpenBSD? My career peaked early. That last sentence is the finest thing I will ever write.

The FreeBSD Diary -- FreeBSD/NetBSD to merge

It's about time!

@dvl Didn't mean to make more work for you, just wanted to give you due credit. Sorry.

@mwl No more work added. I just went and read the diary post, and thought: where is that copy of the old website. It was linked there, at the the end. It's been linked there for years.
