Thank you for writing this. I always find it very hard to put into words what it is that makes OpenBSD "click" for me, but what you write here is about as close of a description as I have yet to find. The whole package and process

One would probably have to define "one-man show". But, no, Theo does not write most of OpenBSD's code. Although he certainly is the leader of the project. If the copyright statement bothers you, I can recommend the announceme

Yes and no. OpenBSD uses four primary repositories: ports, src, www, and xenocara. CVS change announcements are merged for all but ports and go out on two mailing lists: source-changes@ and ports-changes@. Patches are discussed on tech@ and

I think the situation is less clear than that. While I have limited research experience with image generation, I believe I do have a fair understanding of large language models. From the publication of GPT-2 until ChatGPT, it was true that

Computationally, yes, those are the bottlenecks. But I would also add supervised training data, as we can never get enough of that and it is one of few things that increases in compute are (to my mind, you could argue that by scaling unsupe

Indeed, it also has that fixed track perspective that was fairly iconic for NES era racing games. The only game I am aware of that does not have this is the homebrew F-Theta [1] for the Famicom that was released in 2021. The game looks cute

Not sure how admitting that the current state of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation relative to the rest of Europe is not as good that of the pre-WWII Wehrmacht has any relationship to punching Nazis.

Fair point. But if you want to use that analogy, maybe you are also willing to admit that the might of the Wehrmacht accomplished substantially more than getting bogged down about 100km beyond their initial borders two years into the confli

You are not the only one thinking so. There is already a thread on OpenBSD's tech@ taking swipes at the obvious naming collision: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=170742832804260&w=2

Like it or not, but you are a part of a community here and there are both implicit and explicit rules that come with it. While I can only speak for myself, clearly you can see that plenty of other members took issue with your behaviour. May

I disagree. The downvotes and flags are (in my mind) because the behaviour, both in tone and content, at display leads to utterly boring discussions. I am confident that the user can do better and I expect them to do better when express

To further add facts, logos such as these draw upon the tradition of Japanese emblems or "mon" [1]. Mitsubishi being another famous one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mon_(emblem)

Indeed it does. I know that I am not entitled to dictate Calibre's direction, but it would be nice if these tools were cleanly broken out with minimal dependencies. If I recall correctly, the Calibre developers are not interested in th

Sure, but the problem with that solution is that it de facto centralises the Internet as everything then has to pass through a handful of large corporations. I do not claim to have a better solution though, but would be happy to hear other

You have to head over to "The Legend of Puffy Hood" (3.4) [1] for your rap. Unless my memory is failing me, it is Theo de Raadt delivering part of it. [1]: https://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#34

Amazing. Pitched the same idea for a startup with my students back in 2020 (never got very far though as every member of the budding team got busy with other things). Was convinced we could turn the language models of the time into this bac

Not good, it is looking like not just the nearby building but also multiple more distant buildings collapsing from the footage from the Suzu City Office (珠洲市役所) [1] if you look for the dust clouds. Also, do note the very obvious damage to t

My thoughts usually go out to those living with say an elderly parent that can not walk and may even be without a car. 30 minutes (it can be even less than that, as it was in say 1983 with ~12 minutes [1]) is not much to act on in a case li

You are indeed correct. I recalled that the nginx migration was in progress until around the time of 5.4, but did not remember that it was in base at the time. Thank you for correcting me, it was indeed in tree from 2011 to 2014.

Because they used to have Apache in base from 1998 to 2014 (the 5.6 release) and found it frustrating to maintain? Given the developers and what they do with the operating system, I can understand why they would consider having an HTTP serv
