Hello mailing list readers,
I recently deployed my first customer workload running on OpenBSD, and I couldn't be happier. I'm coming from a Linux background, but have spent many years "reading" about BSD (mainly OpenBSD (since 6.5), as it aligns with my penchant for security and privacy). I began self-hosting a home lab running OpenBSD 7.5, and just deployed 7.8 for a customer. Once I had configured hostname.if(5), pf(4), login.conf(5), and adduser.conf(5) successfully, a rush of dopamine hit me and I knew I couldn't go back to deploying Linux anytime soon. Documentation (via manpages) was the greatest tool in getting over any bumps along the way. Everything is so compactly and exhaustively detailed that I rarely had to web search for solving issues. Thank you to all OpenBSD developers, hackers, bloggers, and conference presenters who have helped me get this far. Cheers
