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.
It was 2003. The US had just invaded Iraq for bogus reasons. Dan and I did a prank page saying that the UN was merging NetBSD and FreeBSD. What about OpenBSD? Well...
"Theo de Raadt could not be reached for comment. While Theo's home has been surrounded, UN peacekeeper troops have yet to storm the building and heavy casualties have been reported in the surrounding countryside. UN spokesmen insist that the siege is going according to plan, however, and Theo is expected to be available for integration in the new combined BSD at some date in late 2023. Of the two hundred eighty-nine casualties suffered by the UN troops at this time, the commanding officer insists that they were caused by a rampaging Canadian moose. Daniel Hartmeier, previously of the OpenBSD Project, insists that OpenBSD has no weapons of moose destruction. "
