Yeah, could use a readme for sure.

That typically comes in the form of a national security letter.

This goes WAY back to long-run trunked telegraph cables. They would use different twist rates and handedness as well.

Upstream's irrelevant to a maintainer. Downstream? Maintainers typically know best, that's why the user chose that distro. I bailed on Debian when they decided to go systemd. That's Democracy.

It's got the startup pricing model. "Contact us for a quote!"

China owns the west. We won't do anything to stop them or their allies, not anything serious.

Go wasn't properly behaved, the OpenBSD people actually fixed it so it works properly now. It's not broken.

To be fair, when asked he had to say that. Many people think it's obviously about Jews, seeing as how the 'aliens' are in control mainly of banks and the media.

Had he answered any other way, his career would have been over and he might have been killed.

Ancient Greeks believed in a wood age IIRC.

He's running a telecom provider. Nobody has even declared actual war on anybody. During the Cold War we had phone lines to Russia, China, you name it. Of course all communications were heavily monitored, like today. If a war was declared by Congress things would be different of course. But they haven't done that in ages. I think WWII was the last time? Pesky legal issues crop up of course. It's better not to declade war apparently.

Any device on the Internet is fingerprinted to such a level that it can be identified anywhere even if you upgrade or change the OS or browser. The only way to avoid this is to turn off Javascript and related technologies entirely and browse through Tor or some other like utility.
