The US Post Office was slated to use EVs as replacements for worn out mail delivery vehicles. For many areas, especially urban areas, those would have been perfect and cheaper in the long run. I know because I knew a lot of Mail cCarriers

Or recreate it on every boot :) For example, it you are paranoid about Linux's /var/lib/dbus/machine-id file you can easily use dbus-uuidgen(1) to re-create it on shutdown.

As you now, the more $ you have the number of laws you can ignore increases. As long as Apple keeps bribing (oh I mean political contributions) the more they get away with.

Curious how the various Linux distros and *BSD will handle this. I expect the Corporate distros (RHEL, SUSE, Ubuntu) will be happy to get that personal info from its users. The other US based distros, maybe ban its use in Illinois ? I expe

I use noscript instead of an ad blocker. I find it blocks the intrusive ads. I do not mind what I view as normal ads (ie: text or link), but these video and popup ads drive me crazy. I find noscript blocks the "bad" ads.

I personally think a good balance between tech and employees was the late 1980s. You still had to hire people to do work and tech was good enough to help them out. As tech advanced, people started trusting what the systems said even if bla

I agree with this, when Reagan pushed through his tax cuts for the rich and Union Busting, the US started moving away from a republic. Since then, more policies were put in place to give the very rich more power and Citizens United was when

Very nice, I know how things like this go. You are in a hurry and documentation is something never gotten to. Plus it is a "one-time" setup, to be thrown away when complete. That is fully 100% full understandable :) I am sure t

gcc 15.1 is in pkgsrc 2026Q2: gcc15-15.2.0nb1 - The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) - 15.0 Release Series As others said, I think it has to do with all the platforms NetBSD supports.

Just finished upgrading, went easy. Because I am using cgd(4) I find it much easier to use sysupgrade(8) from pkgsrc. I was running the R/Cs without any issues, so I am sure 11.0 will be very stable.

I thought Rubio would be somewhat competent. I disagree with what he stands for, but he seemed smart. But this proves to me he is as dumb as the rest of the administration.

No surprise, you hire idiots you get things like this making the US look totally incompetent. We have seen things like this happen many times over the past 2 years.

I do not see how AI could be legally used on a GPL project. But if you want to use a non-AI OS, NetBSD banned the use of AI. Maybe some of the talent will move over there. They can sure use the help. As for AI in Linux, I am on the fence
