[ndbug] greetings

Late to the party,
My experiences with BSDs and some documentation I contributed can be found

I have used OpenBSD & FreeBSD also. NetBSD only to satisfy my curiosity.

Now a days when migrating servers to cloud is a fashion and using next

discard OpenBSD as a firewall. But it would be a great end to end
tunnelling device with CARP failover and stuff. And also the SSH VPN for
the lazzy.

some joke that come to my mind is

cheers!
