@Radical_EgoCom When has forcibly taking property under threat of imprisonment or execution not led to mass starvation or genocide like when Stalin starved 10 million people in a single year to exterminate them? Or Mao starving 70 million people to death?

Do #socialist people support national #socialism?

@solene How? Where?

@solene
I currently have 3 other systems streaming information from online while messaging you, only the OpenBSD system can't connect to anything, but everything system can load websites, stream video, etc.

@solene Again, "connection timed out; no servers could be reached"

@solene connection timed out; no servers could be reached

@solene What's involved for that? Where do I start? What do I do for it?

@solene Since I can SSH in but unable to go out and connect to any web address, do you think it can be fixed or do I have to wipe the drive and reinstall again?

@solene To apply all of the source patches with "make && make build".

@solene Before doing anything with pf.conf, I'm having issues getting an IP address. I can SSH in but it cannot reach anything online. I tried to do "cvs up"but the full command and it said "there is no address with that name" and can not cvs mirror.

I enabled ip forwarding, trying to figure out what to put for hardware connections for hostname.

I was able to install 7.6, got cvs source update and rebuild system. Now I'm trying to configure it for router use and it can't read or ping any URL

@jeanmimi @solene I looked at the FAQ for router and every part of it only causes more questions for me and none of it is clear for me to follow so I don't learn anything from it.

@solene Do you have an article on your website for a beginner's guide to setting up an #OpenBSD firewall router?
