Finally booked my ticket for #EuroBSDCon2026 See you in Brussels, BSD friends!

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au @mwl@io.mwl.io @stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe @pythno@mastodon.gamedev.place I can recommend his tech-books in general, and I also think Absolute FreeBSD is a good way to get started. It's big as it covers a lot of topics, so don't get demotivated by the number of pages.

@bsdphk I'm far too young to have experienced it myself in person, but to my understanding all these cool features introduced a complexity which was hard to manage in the 80s. Unfortunately I'm drawing a blank on my source, sorry about that, it's a couple of years since I've learned a bit of Ada (because these features *are* cool and ought to be available *today*). Also capitalism happens, I guess the availability of a DoD language was less than stellar, and if it was available, it was probably really expensive? This is a side-effect of all these certification-heavy domains I know, stuff is *really* expensive. Also, the wider industry tends to value development speed over anything, lest the adoption of all those dynamic languages. Just another way of externalizing costs to the public.

@adhd_coffee Bookmarks in my case. And messages to myself with links. But yeah, this is me.

@stefano best wishes, I hope age gets well soon!

@alfonsosiciliano@mastodon.bsd.cafe As a German, I always wondered about this sentence and where it came from. TIL, thank you very much!
