It's really underrated; the easiest PHD (Push Here Dummy) OS I have ever used and the fact its security is top notch only makes it even better.

In a business-class network, even one running Windows, if DNS breaks "everything" is going to break.

You didn't have a choice when it came to protocols for the Internet; it's TCP/IP and DNS or you don't get to play. Everyone was running dual stack to support their LAN and Internet and you had no choice with one of them.

To be honest, it's not entirely ad free. While I pay for it, the sponsored videos are full of sponsored ads as well. Yes, I make an effort not to support the content providers that are filling their videos with sponsored ads, but this

Not for every mitigation. There are plenty of cases where OpenBSD removed code and functionality because of security implications.

Until something doesn't work, because it hasn't been tested on Firefox, and Grandma calls complaining. :(

Thanks for this. It is pretty surprising that this is one of the most requested Firefox features and they haven't done anything here; all the world is moving to web apps and Firefox is not helping.

The last thing I want is any application preventing my computer from sleeping when I specifically told it to do so, even automatically.

With the exception of Linux, Firefox is not installed by default anywhere. You have Edge on Windows, which is based on Chromium, and Chrome pushing its installation when you visit any Google property. So no wonder Firefox has the market sha

Less than a decade? You give them too much credit. Try six years.

Almost all my applications are Qt; I have a new ThinkPad with an AMD 7840U and, yes, everything Just Works. Linux will always require more tinkering than Windows or Mac, and this machine didn't Just Work for the first two months that

I've planned for this by migrating to Linux; I received a new machine with Windows 11 and was so abhorred by what an abomination it is that I switched my OS after using Windows for what feels like forever. Maybe 2025 will be the year

I always enjoy these write-ups on porting or developing on OpenBSD. They tend to frequently involve doing something, or doing something slightly incorrectly, and once tweaks are made the end result is usually more security or better quality

Windows 11 has become an ad delivery vehicle with Microsoft milking what life Windows has left in this fashion. Linux has largely commoditized operating systems and the major DEs here excel over Windows in many ways, further putting the na

Microsoft is shooting themselves in the foot; Windows is dying and they are milking what's left. The new generation will not touch Windows with a 20 foot pole.

Surprisingly, I'm not sad at all. I've been using Windows for a long time and recently purchased a new computer with Windows 11. It's such an abomination that it forced me to try Linux for the very first time on my production
