Fun fact:

I still remember my first #BSD steps.
I was absolutely fascinated by #OpenBSD when I first found it back on 2009...
Well, it's been a long time... and I still run #BSD :openbsd:

The feeling of running #OpenBSD never left. I can't quite explaint it.. it felt alien and familiar at the same time - peradox.

Small rant:

#BSD is a sane platform - period! :freebsd:

Why?
It works and is dependable.

Does that matter anymore?
More than ever!

We live in a constantly changing world - for better or worse.
Many chase the next best thing... code is getting bloated more and more by the hour.

In the end we have a safe place to grow and learn...
It is called: #BSD

Run #BSD and enjoy the journey! :freebsd: :openbsd:
After all: This is #UNIX the way it was supposed to be! 😎

There are just too many "problems" with C++. I wish modern C++ was something back in the day, so we won't have to suffer.

Libraries still uses iostream to display in stdout/stderr and it's certainly not my favorite. It's slow, bloated, and isn't even describable.

e.g.
std::cout << a.x << " " << a.y << " " << a.z << '\n';
vs
std::println("{} {} {}", a.x, a.y, a.z);

And here we come, standard of string

why:
std::string a = "Hello world";
if (a.find('r') != std::string::npos)
fmt::println("{}", pos);
else
fmt::println("not found");

and why not:
std::string a = "Hello world";
if (a.contains('r')) // Do member function overloading in the class
fmt::println("{}", pos);
else
fmt::println("not found");

why standard doesn't implement trimming functions for white spaces? why do I always have to rely on iterators for such things... (it's just feels like I've to type too much for a basic functionality)

and there's more but let's keep this post small.

Everyone tells me about „infinity“ scaling and resources in the #cloud. What if I tell you that I can scale pretty well #onprem? I think 1,72TB RAM / Memory is pretty cool…

Guess, I can finally run a single Java app without running oom (hopefully) 😉

In the spirit of #myfirstdistro

A long time ago I had a physical Ubuntu CD that I tried out on a laptop I had back in the days. For the life of me I can't remember when that was (Around 2005 I think).
After that, I tried Suse also from a CD.
None of these lasted long at all - changed back to XP quickly.
The real fun began in 2009. I got a ThinkPad on which I installed Fedora. I was not really that impressed with it all (Was a total Linux newbiet at that point).
Through a forum post I encountered Arch Linux - which massivly fascinated me...
Long story short: Installed it back when it had the AIF... and I was hooked. 😎
Technically, the first distro that I really got into was Arch.
That very much stayed the same till this very day (Still use and love it).
In the same year, 2009, I also found Debian which is, next to BSD and Arch, my big love.
In 2009 I discovered OpenBSD (OpenBSD 4.5 - "Games") and later that year FreeBSD came into the mix. (Slackware was discovered by me around the same year)

I still use and run Windows as well. But my long lasting passion for FOSS has me mostly running Linux/BSD. 😀

That is pretty much my story in a nutshell 🙂

Tonight, the snac.bsd.cafe instance will run from here. The Raspberry PI 4's internal SD is in read only, while the disk is ZFS, with #BastilleBSD managing the snac jail.
