Gone are the days of the BSD's functioning as actual routers in the Internet backbone (unless DPDK + VPP has helped to give it a comeback), and have their second chance in life as support infrastructure as you just mentioned.
The difference between you and I is, I use my systems, not tinker with them. This is why I do not see the issues that you do, or do not impact me to that same degree. Also, my systems do not "demand" reboots, nor does systemd impact me as a consumer and user of an OS.
Just so we're on the same page, I've met Theo De Raadt at the NANOG conference in Toronto last October, and have made several donations to the OpenBSD project for the secondary/portable software.
@malwaretech@infosec.exchange When protests happen at school or uni, it can make other students feel unsafe. When they barricade campus buildings, it stops a private business from functioning. Those other kids that were impacted by these protests are having to learn in a remote/online environment, which they never thought would happen again after COVID.
There are other public places like parks and sidewalks.. which do not involve the streets. Freedom of speech/protest does not provide freedom from consequences.
