Love the release poster for this one.
Is there any way to buy a print, or get a high-quality image for printing at home? The expanded version on the website is a pretty gnarly non-animated GIF.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Do you know what sparked the change that uprooted gcc's "dominance"? I know the GNU libc added a lot of "opinionated" pieces, but I thought that was mainly opt-in. I'm curious why gcc "lost its crown" and clang gained all of the attention. Did clang derive from gcc?
clang doesn't derive from gcc in any meaningful way (it does implement some gcc extensions though). There's two main reasons that LLVM and clang really got a lot of wind behind it, and that's largely Apple and the GPLv3. Apple decided that they wanted more control over their objective c and other compiler infrastructure so they threw resources at the burgeoning LLVM to start trying to get it competitive. That was dri…

so BSDs wrote their own libc implementations, then historically (pre-clang) compiled them with `gcc` without any GNU extensions?

By linear extrapolation, about 7 minutes per terabyte on an EPYC 7402, which can handle up to 4 TB. Attempts to justify new init software by "it boots much faster" fall flat.
OSEs aren’t limited to running on physical hardware, fast startup for VMs is still beneficial.
Parallel init only helps on large, multi-service systems, but those are precisely the ones that (1) rarely reboot and (2) will have relatively long boot sequences, regardless.
I've really been enjoying using OpenBSD full time, both on my desktop (AMD Ryzen build) as well as laptops (Lenovo X230, X1 Carbon). Everything literally "just works", the documentation is impeccable, and I love being able to install a new kernel and base system with one simple command ("sysupgrade"). About the only thing I still use Linux for is a browser with U2F support and Bluetooth - both are disabled in OpenBSD…

You used to be to buy official OpenBSD t-shirts [1] and posters at conferences such as Fosdem. I think I even got one poster for free at Fosdem cause I bought a t-shirt. But that was in 2003 or so. [1] https://www.openbsd.org/tshirts.html
I've got my 6.0 poster (probably the best one they've done) at my desk at work.
