It's not about the lack of features. It's about the features that fit 90% of the use cases (sometimes 95%, sometimes 99%, etc), without the software being bloated.

OpenBSD uses vnconfig (also FreeBSD; on NetBSD it's vndconfig). An example: # vnconfig vnd0 install63.fs Then you can treat vnd0 as if it was a disk: # disklabel vnd0 # /dev/rvnd0c: type: vnd disk: vnd devi

I'm learning Italian with English as the base language. One of the things I felt with Duolingo (at least the "old" version, didn't try the new version) is that the exercises make you write mostly in English, not Italian,

Of course, no MTA is as easy as creating a GMail account, but OpenBSD's smtpd is a lot clearer than any of the alternatives.

Meanwhile, in São Paulo, the mayor is trying very hard to remove bike lanes already built, and are passing laws that make it a lot harder to build new ones.

While I understand the technical merits of the switch to the Quantum/Rust/WebExtensions/Electrolysis thing, and while I also understand that this "ad" add-on is not enabled by default, I can't stop thinking tha

Dear Microsoft, great to see you are including OpenSSH as part of your own OS, it's a carefully crafted piece of software that has a lot of appeal among users. A nice follow-up is to generously contribute back to The OpenBSD Foundation

Curious, but this kind of shitty attitude won't work with OpenBSD nor with any other open source that I know. It is not about what you care, but about what they care. Like if they own you something. That being said, I wonder in wha

Vimium-FF is not a substitute. Very very limited compared to what Vimperator and Pentadactyl can do. Besides the features, the main problem with Vimium-FF is that it does not work on a lot of pages and, even in the pages that does work, it

Still no API for WebExtensions with Vimperator-like or Pentadactyl-like functionality. [0][1] For those interested, the whole discussion about adding it is here [2]. [0] https://github.com/cmcaine/keyboard-api [1] htt

A lot of comments seems to converge on a license flamewar, almost blaming the choice of MINIX on using a permissive license like the BSD. It is not a license problem. Nor Mr. Tanenbaum position on "being glad" of MINIX being used

I don't get why people put so much emphasis on the boot time nowadays. I have a 5 years old laptop which takes less than 30 seconds to boot, with Xorg already. Even if you power cycle every day. If you ACPI sleep (and it works great),

I rely mainly on one add-on: Vimperator. It's a big big productivity enhancer and it's the main reason for sticking with Firefox for so long. Even in a period when Firefox was slower and buggier than the alternatives. It's sa

One point: Telegram has no _default_ end-to-end encryption. This, by itself, is the major selling point for Whatsapp (even if Facebook collects metadata).

I tend to see programming languages/libraries/frameworks/whatever as a toolbox. It's better to have 3 tools and handle them well than to have 30 different tools and have little to no idea on how to use them.

"rarely"? I use OpenBSD for a long time, mostly on laptops, and rarely found hardware which isn't supported. Of course that there are some wi-fi devices that require blobs, and I'm glad OpenBSD do not support these. Howe
