Contrapositively, all jobs require a certain amount of bullshit, to varying degrees.

That's interesting, and I completely agree. However, my comment was about whether the default OpenBSD install sends any data to any private US companies. NTP queries are a form of data :). Also, if it ever became profitable for some
