I've looked without success for external audit reports of either Tailscale and Netbird, like Mullvad gets. While I don't approve of the sort of auditor box-ticking we get at work, it would be reassuring to see a report from a prop

I'm just reading what was written, especially "the specific components we needed", and assuming they're not as incompetent as is being suggested, given they've served me well. Perhaps you haven't been tenderin

Not relevant to GCC, but one use for an old A68 compiler was apparently to be adapted for the old NA Software Fortran 90 compiler, I was told by a former colleague. I'd have expected Ada to be a closer fit, and I don't know how w
