Easy to use installer. Great hardware support. Tested and built on more platforms than anything else. No drama, no political shit flinging, everyone can contribute, patches accepted. Full disclosure and security advisories. Refuses to sign non-disclosure agreements with hardware manufactures like Intel. No politically driven Code of Conduct. Donations get spent on the project itself instead of pandering to people that can't code. Stable releases every 6 months that are supported for 2 years with backports and bug fixes. Or run -current snapshots with unrivaled stability. Only UNIX with pledge and unveil support for both the base system and ports tree. Full disk encryption out of the box. Most secure version of X11 around (Xenocara) included in base system. Best man pages in the industry. Best support channels through email and IRC. Best firewall (pf). Best upgrade utility (sysupgrade).

Embrace our loving BDFL Theo de Raadt into your heart. Who has led the project for decades now with unparalleled autism and skill.

Ads kept me in a state of constant exhaustion, mentally drained and physically tired. I thought this was just my normal until a friend recommended Brave Browser by Brendan Eich. It completely shifted how I approach the internet, giving me the ability to cope effectively. It's the small changes that can make a huge difference.

No. Linux emulation+wine support was dropped a few releases ago due to security concerns and the code rotting. Patches accepted. In the mean time use FreeBSD or NetBSD for all your gaming shit which shouldn't be on important systems anyway.

>>105615640
It'll be in ports soonโ„ข once I remove the reliance on GNU sed.

>>105615649
It's fine. Firefox and Chromium are both in ports and fully pledged+unveiled. If they try to do anything they aren't supposed to they crash as intended. You should run a script blocker still of course.

>>105615675
Just install them from ports. I run -current snapshots and update about once-twice weekly depending on when new things I want are added. I sometimes build my own kernel/base system for testing stuff although it's not encouraged. Snapshots have never broken my system and only require reboot to install as the usual sysupgrade process does.

Yeah bro. All the source code for Windows, Cisco, Samsung, VMware and every other major tech company with the backing of the legal system will be given away for free any day now. If they steal your GPL script released on github for their own use without disclosing it the full weight of the legal system going to come down on them hard. It isn't like the legal system is crooked and designed to crush the little guy or anything.

Once again: COPYRIGHT LAW SHOULDN'T EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE. By advocating for GPL you advocate for the legal system used to fuck you over daily.

But I guess you're saving the world. Spamming "cuck license" in every thread and pretending like anyone gives a fuck if you released your little script under license x or license y. If you really cared about freedom you'd release it as Public Domain.

Faggot.

Intel taking BSD license code and *doing something with it* is the whole point of the license. Trying to blame software licensing for CPU backdoors is a garbage arugment. As if Intel with all their resouces wouldn't have just inhoused their own OS had MINIX been release under the GPL. And they almost certainly would have ripped off the GPL code anyway.

curious, I think I'd get along just fine with OpenBSD but after a bit of research I decided to go with NetBSD instead. I'm not really fussed about absolute security and more interested in having lean, portable tools I can use anywhere and I think NetBSD is unmatched on that front. What do you think though, did you try out NetBSD and if so why did you decide to go with OpenBSD?

The people developing OpenBSD actually run it day-to-day as their primary desktop and for their servers. The people that develop NetBSD are typically interested in porting it to everything but once they get it running the port is left to rot. For example, you can run NetBSD on a Sega Dreamcast because someone ported it over back in the early 2000s. But no one has probably worked on that particular port in 20+ years now. NetBSD has a lot of code just sitting in the kernel that no one has touched in years.

In OpenBSD is something isn't maintained it gets thrown out. Hence where the support for stuff like Linux emulation and bluetooth went. They aren't afraid to rip out entire parts of the kernel if no one is actively working on them or if they conflict with other improvements they're trying to add globally.

The main reason though boils down to the fact that if your computer is popular with the developers (like a Thinkpad) you can expect it to just work without doing anything but running the installer and pressing enter a few times. None of this having to fuck around for a weekend to get Gentoo up and running with full disk encryption or manually setting up Xorg on FreeBSD. It all just works out of the box and you only have to edit a a couple of dot files to customize it to your liking (setting up WM/DE mostly).

Stuff doesn't randomly break for no reason either. Everything has a well written man page too. So you don't have to rely on wikis and posts to get stuff working. It's all documented in the man pages (even ports have good man pages) and you can read them without being connected to the internet.

All the stuff related to managing things like wireless/networking are much much better than any other OS too. Including the other BSDs. The BSDs aren't like Linux distros. They've all diverged a lot from each other. In OpenBSD you manage wireless connections through your card's drivers. There is none of this Networkmanager/wpa_supplicant madness.

I daily drove OpenBSD for years and I'm still a huge fan of it, but it doesn't support Nvidia drivers or ROCm, and while it now has support for virtualization, AFAIK it's only suitable for OpenBSD guests. It's great for a shitposting terminal but you can't really do work on it.

>Your honor. I'd like to interject for a moment. What they're calling GPL is actually code written in a clean room by my client. Now we'd be happy to prove this but since we do business with the military and glow niggers we have to be very careful about what we talk about in open session. I'd like to propose we do this in closed session.

>Also since the person suing us is just some faggot with a github account and no money I'd like to drag this out in court for the next 10 years. My client has billions of dollars coming in every month so he has no problem paying me and my team of kike lawyers millions of dollars a year for the next 15 years until we can get this settled. Speaking of your honor, would you like to join us for a nice steak dinner at the country club after we finish up here today?

This idiot thinks the legal system works for him. Point in laugh. Why are these idiots always basement dwellers that have never spent a day living in the real world? I've noticed a pattern with people that support such things and can't grasp simple concepts like the fact that copyrights and patents are only designed to keep people that already have power in the business world at the top. I don't get it. They claim to hate these people but then turn right around and fall for everything these people churn out to distract them.

Who in their right mind would idol worship a MIT nigger like Stallman? The dude openly admits he hasn't written code in decades and can't install a Linux distro. Yet people still idol worship him like he's computer Jesus. I guess this is what they mean by controlled op.

All the GPL says is that you can't copy-paste GPL code into non-GPL software. It says nothing about everything that depends on GPL software needing to be GPLed. That would be a nightmare for open source operating systems.

The Karl Marx of software. Never made anything of value. Never did anything of substance. But know-nothing faggots think he's Jesus and will be spreading his gospel long after he's dead.

I need to do a deep dive on Stallman's bloodline. No doubt he's the retarded child of a rich family. Whenever they produce a spawn with no real skills they always put them in a position of idol. He's controlled op and always was. Held back progress for years and attempted to take credit for other people's work his entire life. GPL+software generates billions of dollars in profit for evil corporations every year. His own employer doesn't even like his manifesto. Which is why there is an MIT license. Which is also shit.

Why would I care about software licenses? I pirate everything else. Why not software and code? No one has ever cared about violating your little manifesto and they never will. No doubt tons of GPL code is being used to power the server this site is running on right now. Yet the admin is a known scam artist and they'll just continue to datamine the fuck out of everyone using this board and make money from the profits.

The perfect license for the person that wants to pretend they're making a difference while doing nothing at all.

Sick of this excuse honestly. Like they aren't the same people that spam pizza all over anything they dislike. They went around and ddos'd and spammed pizza on every other public tracker. Seadex is run by an ugly tranny that openly talks about hating every leecher on their discord. The groups like MTBB have hidden channels in their discord called things like "#straightphobic". They have CR employees openly bragging about working for CR in the chat. Hence why nothing but CR shit and warmed over CR shit is allowed on the nyaa tracker. All the real fansub groups have been banned and their torrents sit at 0 seeds. They ban anyone that shares BD dumps on the public tracker since they want to gatekeep access to sources. The only group that don't ban is the one doing old laserdisc/VHS shit because none of these faggots can speak Japanese and they don't have access to that old content so it's the only way they can watch it. They go around finding 10+ year old shows some fansub group did back in the day and brag about changing the subtitles and filling them with propaganda because that's what faggots do.

Never mind the selling nyaa accounts for hundreds of dollars each when they can simply create them for free any time they want.

It isn't a "cabal". It's just a bunch of mentally ill ESLs that spend hundreds of dollars to DDOS, dox and harass all actual groups off the most visible public tracker. They even DDOS other groups XDCC bots because they have nothing better to do.

Why do people that can't speak English and can't speak Japanese feel the need to "fansub" anime? No fucking idea. Probably because they're using it to farm donations like the third world faggots that have shit up scanlation communities over the last several years.

If you can actually speak Japanese at a third grade level it's very very obvious that none of these people know what they're doing.

I mean nothing is stopping you from doing it. You could sync the entire ports collection from CVS (there is also git mirror I think) and go to town. Probably get packages that way too.

It's less insane than Linux because there is separation between ports and base system. Everything isn't crammed into /usr/bin like on Linux. Everything that comes with the OS by default is in /usr/bin and is only updated when you run OS updates. Everything from ports (third party packages) goes to /usr/bin/local so it can't fuck up anything in the base system.

If you don't want to wait 6 months for updates to the base system you simply run -current snapshots. If you want to run something that isn't packaged in ports you can just stuff it into /usr/bin/local or anywhere else in your PATH. It should just work provided it is actually POSIX software. If it isn't and is Linux-only because the author is retarded typically you can just grab GNU tools from ports (gsed = GNU sed for example) and direct it to use the GNU tool instead of the BSD tool included in base.

I actually think this comparison is apt. But most don't cite Marx in an uncritical vacuum because his philosophy is nice but hyper idealistic and doesn't really take into account how humans act practically, ultra hardcore Marxists are laughed off even by most leftists.

Stallman has a very similar idealistic Utopian philosophy. And a lot of his work does show it's less than practical. But that doesn't make me dislike him. It just shows the idealists and practical individuals need to balance each other out while collaborating to get as close as possible to that ideal.

I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than writing BSD-licensed software. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are designing, programming, debugging and distributing a piece of software for any number of years solely so it can go and get used in proprietary projects by corporations. All the hard work you put into your beautiful software - writing good documentation, making optimizations, making sure it runs well on other machines, formatting it, troubleshooting it. All of it has one simple result: its codebase is more enjoyable for proprietary projects. Wrote the perfect software? Great. Who benefits? If you're lucky, a random corporation who had nothing to do with the way it was developed, who uses it. That corporation gets to use it in spyware and DRM, like Minix and IME. It gets the benefits of the software's innovation and optimization that came from the way you programmed it. As a programmer who writes BSD-licensed software, you are LITERALLY dedicating however many years of your life simply to program software for proprietary corporate/government projects to enjoy. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL cuck. Think about it logically.

Karl Marx was the retarded child of a rich jewish family that didn't even write the books he's claimed to author. History is a lie. The only "utopia" we're getting is mass murder of everyone that isn't in the few rich families running the world.

I reject your left/right paradigm. I know the truth.

There is already a hammer2 port for openbsd. It was read only for the longest time but i'm pretty sure it is now fully functional.

The left/right paradigm exists whether you want it to or not.

Stallman's anarcho-communist task force is strong in this thread. Imagine unironically thinking some bullshit communist license is better and "not cucked" because it says so and you still open source your code. People steal and take whats free for take. You morons are fucking deluded.
