Yesterday, it was a #FreeBSDday.

I finally took one of my old laptops and a spare SSD, and I tried to install #FreeBSD on it... However, things were not so smooth. My first attempt with the #ThinkPad X200 was not successful, the #FreeBSD installer hung several times during boot. However, when I changed X200 to X230i, the installation went very smoothly.

I remember that a year and a half ago, I followed @dwarmstrong and his #30DaysOfFreeBSD. It was inspirational to read about his journey, and I wanted to do sometimes somethnig similar - just test the new system and familiarize with it. Maybe now it is the right time to do it ;-)

As part of our #FreeBSDDay celebration, we're spotlighting what real users have to say about the impact of FreeBSD in their work.

🎥 At BSDCan last year, we had the chance to chat with Amy Margus from NetApp, who entered the FreeBSD world just two years ago after two decades in tech.

Her story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to embrace new tools, adapt, and grow. 🚀

💡 What about FreeBSD inspires you?

32 years ago today, #FreeBSD was announced for the first time. I haven't tried this OS yet but I can assure you that I will because I want Quark, my OpenSource reverse proxy, to be supported on other Unix systems than Linux.

For this special occasion, I drew this little picture on #Krita 🙂

Just curious, what/why is #FreeBSDDay? Is it the day the project was started back in... '93, was it?

Happy #FreeBSDDay to everyone.
