Sorry to see Solène Rapenne move on, I wish her success going forward. She has been a great asset to the OpenBSD team. But glad she will still try and help them out a bit.

But in a way she has a point :( Just a few weeks ago I had a panic with 7.6 and half my files in /home disappeared. In the past I never lost data on an fsck, plus I never had a panic in many years. But glad I clone /home to another device daily :)

But I still will use OpenBSD for testing items I develop on Linux. It is a great help finding issues where Linux will ignore some bugs I insert.




That's insane. Note to self, never use openbsd where I can't reconstruct the system from scratch.


Never use any OS where you can't reconstruct system from scratch.


Well crap happens :)

There are many issues that can cause problems, I have seen worse things happen at work over the decades. In this case, I fully believe it is a one-off occurrence.

On my other Laptop, and old T420 with only OpenBSD, I never had a panic or lost files. Even after moving to 7.6.

But was saying, I can see her point when your professional livelihood depends upon what system you use.
