BSD Cafe Billboard

I'm in my 50s, been using computers since the beginning or the 80s, been on the internet since the beginning of the 90s. I'm a computer professional, I've been

• consultant
• QA lead
• SRE / Sysadmin
• lately more support engineer.

I have a thing for old Unix systems and workstations. I've been involved a lot into the Mozilla project and have been employee. I have a sweet spot for Apple ][s and old Unix workstation. I love SMP when it means more than one processor in the box.

When I'm not toying with computer or spending time with the family, I like to read and I maintain a BookWyrm profile.
I take pictures with a trusted Canon DSLR who's starting to show it's age. I post both on pixelfed and Flickr.
I play historical miniatures war games, which means I build and paint minis.

I'm present on two mastodon instances. And I 'maintain' 3 blogs. I've a love affair with various BSD since I got myself involved in OpenDarwin a few years back. My gaming blog runs on FreeBSD. I wish I'd run a BSD system on a daily basis but running a Fedora machine for work is complcated enough.

For one of my blogs, I use dotclear, and wrote in french, notes when I did the installation at https://ludovic.hirlimann.net/2023/04/installer-dotclear-sur-freebsd-13.html

I was unable to have it work on my latest work laptop, but I'll retry cause it was nice with the newer 15.1 based release.

There's usually booths and a room dedicated to BSD at Fosdem, seem interesting to me to add it, no?
