Today has been a busy day, and not just work-wise. Some random thoughts:

• FreeBSD jails and ZFS have saved a client once again. Because things happen, and when they do, it’s good to be prepared.
• Mixing different PHP versions on a Debian or Ubuntu host is never easy, especially in the long run. It works, but sooner or later something will go wrong. Better to isolate them in containers, and when I do that, I prefer FreeBSD and jails.
• OpenBSD keeps evolving on its own terms. And that’s reassuring.
• NetBSD quietly keeps going its own way, just as it has for many years. And so do my NetBSD servers. Maybe it’s time to run some performance comparisons and write about them on my blog.

I’m still passionate about technology. The same technology that gets me out of bed every morning and makes me want to sit down at my computer.

And I hope I can keep doing this for many years to come.

Thank you, technology. The good kind. The kind that still inspires me and makes me smile.
