Why I Love FreeBSD

A personal reflection on my first encounter with FreeBSD in 2002, how it shaped the way I design and run systems, and why its philosophy, stability, and community still matter to me more than twenty years later.

Updated post for FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE.

After performing a few FreeBSD installs, these are my personal notes of steps taken and choices made. A “short and sweet” version of the comprehensive install chapter of the FreeBSD Handbook.

Libre all the things

Of course the day I had planned to "do all the things" comes complete with loading errors no matter the connection....

I'd have a job, if anyone was hiring.
I'd complete what's needed in the meantime if there was a working network connection.

And talking to the folks at the county office, they wouldn't have it any other way. Like they passively want everyone to fail.

Is it me or did Reddit get weird recently?
I made a comment, not even a post. All it said was how much russian stuff has been being pushed lately. Not overall, just in the subreddit I was in, and a few as I scrolled by, as usual. Boom. Auto-perma-banned by a bot.
Meant more than I thought it would. That's fine, being banned. It's a website. But the... I don't know, the "why and how" seem bizarre and random.

At first glance:
"reject, reject reject, ... just plain fuck-off and we're done with your shit."

I don't know if I'm right or wrong, but i like the idea. "Just...just shut the fuck up and vanish. The entire cabinet and everyone in the trail left behind to get here. All of them."

I circled back around to forums and irc, kind of shocked with how many old names are still there. Felt like a home-coming.
