I finally had some free time to finish up this OpenBSD "base only" guide.

It isn't as perfect as I'd like it to be, but if I don't release the mini-site it'll be in limbo forever

"OpenBASED: Setup OpenBSD as a daily driver using only the included, core programs."

See you in Zagreb in September!

@slrpnk Very one-sided… and there's a bigger world in the open-source ecosystem than just Linux (#BSD says hi).

However, I wonder how the economics will change if, say, the US decided to put export tariffs on software/services exports?

Personally, I support open-standards more than open-source. kollectiva.media is a PeerTube instance. My instance is a Mastodon instance. Both talk W3C ActivityPub… we can communicate and share: what more do we need?

Even if the EU ultimately stays with Microsoft implementations of standards, they should still be moving towards using de-jure open standards (e.g. ISO-26300) over proprietary ones.

We need to work on teleconferencing platform interoperability. We have good quality streaming CODECs, it should not matter how one side generates them and the other consumes them, so long as both sides agree on CODECs and transportation methods.

It should not matter if I fire up Zoom (for example), and you Teams, we should still be able to directly call each-other with both clients using a common protocol.

I think that's our challenge going forward. Geopolitics will do the rest for us I think.

What is your preferred BSD-for-desktop and preferred Linux-for-desktop?

In terms of something that reasonably approximates (what used to be) the stability of (previous versions of) macOS / early-release-Windows 10, for use by someone who routinely uses current macOS and isn't a command-line/power user.
