With the release of OPNsense 26.7, I suspect the time has come to consider replacing the few last pfSense boxes 🤷🏻

If Mullvad VPN AB really endorses the Örebro Party's view that "Sweden belongs to the Swedes," then I assume they'll stop accepting money from the rest of the world's "parasites" and offer their services only in Sweden.

Recently, I've noticed that many people who publicly share their first impressions of FreeBSD consistently highlight two things: the documentation and the community.

So, thank you to everyone who helps make this community a better place, and in particular to those who devote their time and effort to improving the project's documentation.

@xenotar It’s great we’re happy about this news, but we shouldn’t forget about corruption, the lack of transparency, corporate lobbying, and issues like chat control, the weakening of GDPR, and AI.
Not very optimistic lately 🤷♂️

Remind me again, why is the fake child/women porn generator Grok *not* already banned in the EU, and Europe? 🤔

@xenotar It wasn’t meant as a discussion about the health of Linux as a project, but a reminder of how crucial it is to establish legal foundations for new open source projects and foundations that prevent corporations from ultimately hijacking and appropriating them

Once again, $CORPS operate on a timeline unfamiliar to normal people, which is why they paid for their Linux Foundation board seats far ahead of this turning point 🤷♂️

I can’t stop wondering, what kind of person still works for ICE? and what will happen when every single name, address, and social security number of everyone who's been collecting a paycheck these last two years is exposed to the world? 🤔

Periodic reminder:
Your parents probably taught you from a young age not to take gifts from strangers, right?
So, why do you blindly accept now "free" services from companies online?

@dexter I understand this might not be an option you’d want to pursue, but there are some places you’ve already visited where healthcare is free and where you would be most welcome.

Dear developer,
I don’t know you, and I don’t know anything about your life, your life experiences, your childhood, your family, your studies, your professional career, your friendships, or your worldviews. I really would like to know more about you, *anything* that might give me a clue about the reasons that led you to leave behind more than 50 undocumented minified Bash scripts that run an internal program at the company I’m auditing, and that make me wish someone would cut the tips of your fingers so you wouldn’t be able to type on a keyboard again for a while without feeling a pain similar to the one I’m feeling right now.
