Peter Hansteen on The Book of PF 4th edition, and doing proper engineering

Peter Hansteen has a new edition of The Book of PF, its fourth, hitting shelves near you just about now. Peter would love to tell you all about the book and how to use the PF toolset properly.

It's about proper engineering. Which will be on the horizon more than ever in the coming months and years as the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is coming int force. Peter has a teaser presentation about that too, and you'll see how these themes tie together nicely.

Peter N.M. Hansteen is a DevOps (formerly sysadmin) consultant and writer based in Bergen, Norway. A longtime Freenix advocate, Hansteen is a frequent lecturer on OpenBSD and FreeBSD topics.
