<p>>If someone gave them a filesystem with the right license, ideas from 20+ years ago and a promise to maintain it on OpenBSD forever, I'm sure they'd take it.<p>They have the right to take NetBSD's UFS (with WAPBL), FreeBSD's (UFS with softupdate) or DragonFly's Hammer2.<p>Or give users the freedom to use ZFS (optionally) like NetBSD.</p>

<p>>When did you get the idea that we're trying to please anyone?<p>Ah, I see. Those footer flags and icons are there for ironic reasons, to poke fun at these ideas while also shining a critical spotlight on them? I see, that's the dark humor I like.<p>>sufficiently sanitized for them to put on their corporate website are also not who we want.<p>I'm pretty sure it's possible in Silicon Valley, but only for one month of the year. It's just performative AF.<p>But at least you split the Ukrainian in half and exchange it with the US one, again....that's the really dark humor i like.</p>

<p>>Yeah, and it’s an awful attitude.<p>I had a conversation with some 'educated' people about the war in Ukraine. After about ten minutes, 
I told them if we please can stop and if we could change the topic.<p>They were incredibly uneducated, 
I would even say disinterested in the history as we ~know it.<p>They saw everything in black and white, with no shades of grey.<p>Long story short, I told them to please educate themselves on what happened from 2013/14 until today and make their own observations (just so they can sprinkle a little grey to their world view, NOT change it just add some nuances to it).<p>Their answer? No time, also not that interested.<p>I was a little bit sad to say at least.<p>Maybe has something todo with that:<p><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/human-dynamics/articles/10.3389/fhumd.2026.1859560/full" rel="nofollow">https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/human-dynamics/articles...</a><p>>>From searching to asking: knowledge and authority in the age of Generative AI<p>3. Cognitive consequences:<p>The difference lies in how the information is encountered. Search-based learning requires effort. Users must sift through multiple sources, evaluate relevance, and integrate partial information into a coherent whole. These activities promote deeper cognitive processing.</p>

<p>Oh man, you speak to my heart!<p>I always read stuff like this:<p>-Why self-host? Just use AWS. What, you run your own PostgreSQL instance on real metal at home?<p>-Just use Linux. Linux, SystemD, and Docker have won. Why care about other operating systems?<p>-You have your own self-hosted email server, why? Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo will put your emails into spam. (Hint: They won't if your server is correctly set up. But you're just interested in outsourcing the service and have zero interest in how "modern" email works.)<p>Look, I get it. Not everyone wants to self-host. But actively being against self-hosting or the administration of systems, or not trying stuff like BSD/VMS or, hear me out, MVS-TK5 is the opposite of a hacker spirit, today not interested in hosting tomorrow programming.</p>
