  7. @gumnos @stefano For a bit of my writing that is not necessarily about spamd (but still mostly with an #openbsd and other #opensource theme), there is my "Short reading list" nxdomain.no/~peter/the_short_r which is close to what I came up with for some #bookofpf promo material that @nostarch were putting together earlier this year.

  9. And I should add -

    * we are making final tweaks to labs and slides still
    * we will be covering #FreeBSD 14 as well as #OpenBSD, with labs supporting both.

    You could see the session as a Book of PF, 4th edition preview, however physical copies will not yet be available at the conference, see nxdomain.no/~peter/yes_the_boo (also bsdly.blogspot.com/2025/07/yes) #bookofpf

  11. Yes, The Book of PF, 4th Edition Is Coming Soon nxdomain.no/~peter/yes_the_boo

    Long rumored and eagerly anticipated by some, the fourth edition of The Book of PF is now available for preorder nostarch.com/book-of-pf-4th-ed #openbsd #pf #packetfilter #freebsd #networking #security #tcpip #ipv6 #ipv4 #bookofpf

    ... and of course somebody had to ask, "when can we expect a fifth edition", to which the answer was "let's get this one out the door first"

    That said, watch this space for further announcements!
