Børge<p>So this is where my peeps at!</p><p>Hello everyone, my name is Børge and I am happy to get back into the BSD world, though only for personal projects for now.</p><p>I was a sysadmin for a small telco a while ago and we used Solaris/SPARC and FreeBSD/i386 for our servers, while I tried my hand at OpenBSD for my personal server. The network was all Cisco at the beginning, with some Juniper equipment for peering at the end but I did not get any experience with those unfortunately. I do have a certificate in SS7 somewhere, the signaling protocol telcos use for voice calls, but have forgotten pretty much all of it.</p><p>These days work is "cloud everything", which all seems to be based on Linux-something.</p><p>Reminiscing of "the good, old days" I wondered if I could run a BSD server anywhere to tap into my sysadmin background a little, or if I would have to use some Linux distribution.</p><p>Searching for BSD hosting providers, I am very happy I discovered <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenBSDAms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenBSDAms</span></a> which I use for OpenBSD hosting (obviously).</p><p>Then I came across <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BoxyBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BoxyBSD</span></a> where I was lucky enough to get a FreeBSD instance.</p><p>Last but not least I came across a cheap VPS provider where I could run NetBSD. I don't mention the provider because I'm not sure I can recommend them yet.</p><p>I've been on Mastodon a little while, mostly reading as there is so much of interest to find here, though also because I'm quite shy, but hope to maybe post something about what I do now and then.</p><p>I really like all the *BSDs, they just do things in a way that seems sensible to me, so being here feels a lot like coming home.</p><p>So that's me a little about me. <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a> </p><p>How are you?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NetBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/RUNBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RUNBSD</span></a></p>

Justine SmithiesI already have my home lab served by an intel n100 fanless PC running <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=opnsense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpnSense</a> aka <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> and it's great by the way. But my stupid head likes rabbit holes and keeps thinking about making an <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=openbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> powered router , Firewall so everything is done from the command line. I'd need to setup everything even the PPPoE for my Andrews &amp; Arnold FTTP connection. This would need some research and note taking I feel. Good God head as if I've not enough to think about already! 😜<br><a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=runbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RunBSD</a><br>
