    Ah yes when I think of the FOSS movement I think of greedy corporations that only care about how much money they get out of their contributor’s labor. FOSS has proven the exact opposite if anything: that economics are built on lies, and that people can and will produce useful projects without any economic gain.


  • Because the only redeeming quality of Windows is the fact a lot of software works on Windows and only on Windows, which is also exactly the problem with Windows. It’s great WINE can exist, but not all platforms support WINE, and as an OpenBSD user first and foremost it means I can’t play many of my favorite games on my preferred platform.

    Ultimately, Windows sucks and is a standard because our society puts corporate greed and thieves like Microsoft above superior projects; and even if Microsoft were firebombed off the planet tomorrow, they’re just a symptom of the problem, and it’s only be so long until another thief steps into Microsoft’s position and ruins everything again.







  • well diskletters/numbers can change between boots and hardware configurations, and unless you have a good label for the partition, this is the only way I can think of to name your permanent mount points that isn’t problematic/incorrect in some other way. This will always work correctly with any amount of partitions with any amount of disks; and it’s not exactly hard to get the DUID of a disk, at least on OpenBSD. It’s also highly scriptable as such.
