The taming of the puffer fish (alternatively, OpenBSD training)

Authors: Aoi Koizumi (古泉あおい) <novaburst@dimension.sh>

Date: 27 Aug, 2022

Yesterday after a talk with a staff member of IRCNow[1], I joined their

training course about OpenBSD, and got a lil' box for said purpose. So

far i'm enjoying it while doing the lessons on the Bootcamp[2] which

I've been reading for a while now. I try not to force myself in doing

them, so I do those at my own pace. This blog post will be updated

accordingly to show my progress.
