For my company I have put together #gameoftrees and #OpenBSD support packages which cover tasks I have been doing via ad-hoc consulting gigs for years now. And I asked some freelancing friends from the OpenBSD community to share the work with me.

We support deployments of OpenBSD in server and firewall roles via yearly fixed-price contracts. All base system components can be supported.

From our existing client base we know for a fact that there are small and mid-sized businesses out there who run OpenBSD and would benefit from working with us. We want to find more of them.

Something I did this weekend to my @OpenBSDAms VM (great service!) before updating to #OpenBSD 7.8 was merging a couple of file systems to make a bit of headroom. To my own surprise, I even blogged about it → https://perezdecastro.org/2025/openbsdams-merge-filesystems.html

Today's reboot reminded me of something to look forward to for these winter months, thanks to a gift I left myself in my #OpenBSD workstation's #X11 #xenodm `~/.xsession`:

```
# a little snow never hurt anyone, but let's only enjoy it in the winter months
case "$(date +%m)" in
11|12|01|02) xsnow -notrees -nosanta & ;;
esac
```

(Sadly, the #xsnow port & packages were sent to "the attic" long ago, but it still builds and functions normally.)

Playing a bit with #Plakar (https://plakar.io/) on #OpenBSD to see how it handles my mess. Doing good so far.
