This isn't actually an ode, as I can't rhyme things good, but I just
wanted to thank the OpenBSD folks for their fantastic engineering.
I had a major power outage and network disruption at my hosting provider
yesterday, and all but one of my relayd load balancers was knocked out,
as well as much of my httpd cluster.
Even while Zabbix was blowing up my phone with alerts, thanks to the
magic of CARP+pfsync+relayd, all my services remained available, and a
disaster was largely turned into a non-event.
Thank you for creating the greatest software project of all time.
Regards,
Jordan
