What? How long did it take?


How long did what take? Learning the essentials of OpenBSD, budget 4-6hours. Switching over servers from Ubuntu, an hour for the first one then 10mins each after that. You can copy config with your favourite tools; most have ports for OpenBSD already. If you want to learn more in-depth, read: Michael W. Lucas Absolute OpenBSD, 2nd Edition: Unix for the Practical Paranoid. Highly recommend it as teaches many fundamentals most software engineers skip.


How many upgrades have you done so far? And how many kernel fixes?

Long time ago I maintained a couple of obsd servers, and the cost in time of upgrades and the (occasional) security fixes was substantial.

I still maintain a couple of servers, but if it wasn't because Debian makes it easier by automating most of it, I don't think I could do it.

Yet I miss my time with obsd. I'm very interested in your experience.

Edit: it was 3.6-STABLE. Things have changed since then.


They have binary updates by now. No more need to download the source from CVS and compile fixes.

You can update from one OS version to the next with manly only one command.


syspatch and sysupgrade have made things substantially easier these days.


Because it will load into RAM. And RAM cost money. Also, quite hard to upgrade on the laptop


The entire executable isn’t loaded into RAM.

And are laptops a primary deployment target?


Are you replacing Cisco with Ericsson?


That's his revenge at BigTech for dumping on MBA holders for decades.


It's really hard to comprehend how entitled "reward which would be the cost of lunch in Sweden can be massive for those low socio-economic-located people" is.

A lunch in central Stockholm is well within 200 kronor. I can't imagine a country where an person with a computer and skills necessary to claim a bounty in cURL would consider that amount massive.

Get real.


Is he entitled for considering the difficultied from developing countries?

Maybe he's exaggerating a bit with the comparison, but if we consider the ceiling of 10k, that's more than a year of minimum wage in Portugal, or a handful of years in certain developing counties. Certainly significant!


I've recently been frustrated with the trajectory of UK political discourse and therefore a some form of art therapy was in order.

I can't draw, so I made a website.


I started to use it right when it was released, long time before any LLM integration.

But fair point anyways.
