BSD Cafe Billboard

@stefano is there an existing tool that is comparable in feature parity / CLI? Or is crossbow completely its own design?

I self-hosted OpenIndiana for a while but have since been become interested in OmniOS. Does anyone have firsthand experience with crossbow?

I was a big fan of Skiff (even though it was proprietary) until it was bought by Notion. NextCloud is where I lean nowadays. I'm preparing to self-host NextCloud on OpenBSD and share it with friends and family.

Document software may appear boring on its face, but Microsoft Office is a big reason why folks still stay with Microsoft

Can't wait for MS to be dethroned in the office suite space.

And I don't plan to stop anytime soon (or ever?)

I couldn't have asked for a more correct, well-documented, and secure system. I took my hardened /etc/* files and added them to VCS for reproducing new environments quickly.

I first began following OpenBSD 6.5 and first deployed OpenBSD 7.5 for my side projects, and as of 7.8 I am using OpenBSD in production.

I've been using Linux as my daily driver for 10+ years. I'll probably stick with Linux on desktop but OpenBSD has virtually replaced all of my hosting. I recently spun up a new Linux VM only to power it down shortly after attempting to configure systemd... It just can't compare to rc(8).

I'll end this rant now. Some useful links/people that got me through the last couple years:

• https://www.openbsdhandbook.com/
• https://undeadly.org/
• https://docs.vultr.com/category/bsd-guides
• anything by kristaps and bcallah@
• r/OpenBSD

I've been using OpenBSD for my projects for the last few release cycles and I feel comfortable upgrading, etc. but I'll keep this for sharing with others. Great post.
