PSA: I have uploaded my slides for my #EuroBSDCon2025 talk tomorrow: "We choose to do the things, not because they are easy..."

https://events.eurobsdcon.org/2025/talk/SM3GGJ/

We choose to do the things, not because they are easy... EuroBSDCon 2025

... but because they are a bloody nuisance and we want them to be easy. In this talk I will reminisce on more than a decade of being an OpenBSD developer. With over 2,047 commits and more than 75,000 lines of code deleted, there are stories to tell. Like that one time when we... Or back in..., when I made this off-hand remark... I will talk about how I got my OpenBSD account, how I chose what to work on and how things like slowcgi(8), unwind(8), or sysupgrade(8) came to be. The focus will be on the day-to-day of being a volunteer developer, how I run my own infrastructure (hint, it is all OpenBSD-current) and how the six-month release cycle ties in to that.

#EuroBSDcon2025 was as usual a heady mix of seeing old friends and making new ones, of enlightening keynotes from @bagder and @Edent and many many interesting talks and tutorials from our growing community.

Thanks to the Zagreb team, the AV people, and the EuroBSDcon treasurer and organisers who do this every year.

And yet as a long COVID sufferer, I will need at least a fortnight to recover from it, catching up on the spoons spent, despite early nights and frequent breaks.

My #EuroBSDcon2025 talk on 25 Years of Designing Resilient Systems is done & dusted. Thanks audience for suffering through the initial technical issues!

#DistributedSystems FTW!

25 years of Designing Resilient Systems EuroBSDCon 2025

## Subtitled: Mistakes I may have Allegedly Made 25 years ago I designed my first resilient system, addressing failures with networks, infrastructure, applications, operator errors, and with a considerable dose of youthful hubris and ignorance. I'm still building them today. This talk covers the journey, the lessons, and current practice for building robust & resilient systems, that don't need to wake you up when they go bump in the night. It has a sprinkling of humour, of war stories, of operations, and some computer science theory. This talk comprises 7 main themes, presented as a journey from your typical single server deployment, through to a modern distributed system spanning continents, multiple servers & applications.

#EuroBSDCon2025 #bhyvecon Hans Rosenfeld dropping the Deep Lore on his cpuid work as a prelude to live migration in bhyve, so cool to hear about the rampant crosspollination of people, code, and ideas, between Illumos and FreeBSD.
