@phnt Well… worst parts about OpenBSD is more that they do not have a bug tracker (just a mailing-list).
And their security memery is quite few times just reputation/facade (like I do use some software from OpenBSD, but they're not the best they could do in terms of security, like way too much of OpenSMTPd runs as root, so only reason I still use it is practicality).
And supervisor in ports… cool but a lot of the job with such software is integration, re-writing a bunch of service files doesn't sparks joy. -

@phnt Yeah, that's the reason for me to poke at NetBSD more seriously.
Plus like FreeBSD has been giving me corpo-vibes for a while so even if it would be non-LLMed it wouldn't be my target. -

slapped NetBSD on a spare machine and well… X11 nonsense isn't something I was missing. -

Anyway… got other pain points that pretty much confirms that if I'd truly use NetBSD (or any *BSD really) it would be a chimera of sorts to get something that comes from a more modern era.
Like service management with supervision isn't a bleeding edge feature. -

@puniko I guess it would be a bit tatooine if we'd end up with both Sun and stuff like a red giant visible in our sky. -

@dalias @pork_soda By the way, Ursula K. Le Guin sadly passed away in 2018, so I guess if there's any present tense it would be her childs? -

@SuperDicq Which also entirely falls on it's face when it's a particularly active and big codebase, like how many 10~15 lines of code can big projects like GCC could dismiss the copyrightability of within say a year?
Specially as with LLMs you very likely increase the chances of said code being from leaked sources of MSVC/SunPro/"Open"Watcom/… and random SDKs for architecture-specific code.
I don't think FSF doesn't know copyright, but more are reckless about it, which in a way they're free to do.
But it also means their codebase can be sued, which for FSF is probably fine (as long as it's not a repeat of AT&T vs. BSDi that is), but wouldn't be for smaller projects with forks of gnu code. -

@SuperDicq I mean it's just bullshit and not how copyright works.
Copyright is based on originality, not on something else like amount of work. And 10~15 lines of code can entirely be copyrightable, specially if the code is a bit compact, most compact being things like regexes (lines of code have always been a bullshit metric).
Meanwhile you can have thousands of lines of code with 0 originality in them, and so not copyrightable, for example tzdb with stripping the comments. -

@dalias @xenotrope @aburtch Quite tempting to do this kind of thing to Teslas in general.
(I haven't seen a Wankpanzer here yet, but well AFAIK they're not legal in EU) -

@mirabilos @Exxo @remaster Plus like the real thing would have been to deprecate plastic bottles since they're just landfill.
But then you'd need politicians with enough spine to go against the plastic industry. -

@p Yeah, I much prefer using what came out of military time convention "8 (hundred) fifty" than those half-$hour/half-past.
Although I'm partial to "$hour and a half". -

"10 to 9" to say 8h50 is such a weird thing until you realize it's "minute hand on 10, hour hand nearing 9h"
