Next Saturday at #EuroBSDCon 2026, I'll tell the story of one of the longest nights of my career.
On 10 March 2021, I had just fallen asleep when the alerts started arriving. One server down. Then another. And another.
Different servers, different workloads, one thing in common: the OVHcloud Strasbourg data centre.Then came the news: SBG2 was on fire.
I had 142 servers there.
The mission for the night was simple to state: bring the critical services back before 8, then recover everything else as quickly as possible.
This talk is about what happened next. The things that worked, the architectural choices that saved us, and especially the ones that failed when we needed them most.
And it's also the story of why that night changed the way I design infrastructure, and why BSD systems became such an important part of it.
The night 142 of my servers went up in the clouds. Physically.

Just tinkering with a 1GB RAM/4 Core Pine64 that Ian gave me at #BSDPizza for my @EuroBSDCon talk...
Nothing out of the ordinary to see here folks. Move along. See you at #EuroBSDcon!
(No, it's not the fact that for once I did a screen shot from a desktop computer, rather than lazily make a photo from my phone.)

I've just finished the first review of my EuroBSDCon presentation. As usual, it'll be hard to stay in the time slot, but I'll do it.

Silly question: does @EuroBSDCon accept donations to help support recording and/or streaming the event for those who can't attend? 🤔

On 10 March 2021, I had only just fallen asleep when my phone started buzzing. Then another notification, and another. In a matter of minutes, 142 of my servers went up in the clouds. And not the cloud-computing kind.
Most of them were physically going up in a column of smoke in Strasbourg.
My wife looked at me and asked if I wanted a coffee. I nodded. It was going to be a very long day.
At EuroBSDCon 2026, I won't be giving a theoretical lecture on high availability. Instead, I’m going to tell the raw story of that night: the emergency recovery, the architectural choices that actually saved us, and the ones that crumbled under pressure (because we rarely talk about what fails).
Most of all, I’ll explain why that night changed my perspective, and why I’ve come to see BSD systems not just as operating systems, but as essential, practical tools for building simpler, more resilient infrastructure.
The official schedule is now live. If you want to hear a real-world post-mortem, join me on Saturday, 12 Sept at 11:15 (Room D.0.02).

"Where have you been for the last 20 years?" - The question that changed everything. This isn't a BSDCan report, but a personal reflection on how impostor syndrome stole decades from me, and why it's never too late to find your community and live life fully.
