Been following the BSD conferences for a while and have not yet had the chance to attend one. But what i have noticed from all the videos and photo's published on social media is that it seems to be a male ( I'm going to include NB folk here too ) dominated event ? Maybe I'm wrong and it's just how the media published distorts the reality ? Apologies if I have offended anyone it certainly isn't my intention.

    Yes! “New” ThinkPad X230 I bought as a writing machine is booting :’)

    Even the chicklet/island keyboard is still so wonderful to type on.

    Next steps: Wi-Fi, and either my tmux “terminal GUI” or maybe I should try ctwm!

              part of the reason that people say the things that they do about the bests in my headcannon:
              is more popular and has more packages? surely its a desktop!
              is secure and rock solid KISS? oooh no. all the technology i've ever used for security have made my computer completely greek to me!. only for servers or uber nerd hackers, clearly
              is highly portable yet is the smallest of the three? its small so eh. ymmv. maybe run it on your weird 1990s pda?

                The feeling when some of the Grand Masters and Architects of #UNIX mocks me for being crazy to run modern #NetBSD on decidedly-not-modern hardware while also pointing out how *incredibly* powerful this 386sx/486-class hardware is and what an absurdly huge amount of memory 16MB is compared to what *they* had while, you know, developing UNIX..
