TIL. So it is even easier and I don't know what's the problem with dvfjsdhgfv. I think unless Debian stopped adopting systemd nobody would be happy.

Reading the slides this seems really interesting. A way to allow you simple copy your home (that may be in an encrypted loop file) to a Pendrive and have all your configuration anywhere seems like a big win. This will make the only stateful

I think the main problem in iOS is that Apple requires you to use Safari engine, even if you have the resources to create a competing browser (like Google or Mozilla). So all alternative browsers in iOS are simple skins of Safari. If Apple

You can also argue that an OpenBSD user is not your average user. So I think the default from Firefox makes sense (since most of Firefox users are on Windows and should probably be average users), and the fact that OpenBSD override that def
