OpenSSH is the best known OpenBSD project, but they also makes pf (used in pfSense, OPNSense, etc.), OpenBGP, OpenNTPD, OpenSMTPD, OpenIKED, LibreSSL, etc.

Came for this comment.

The U.S. could be a net exporter of vegetables in a couple of months if it stopped converting corn into ethanol.

Seen Youtube lately? I just watched a video on how to make nitroglycerin. Stuff like this has been available for over a decade.

Back in the days that home solar systems still mostly used lead-acid batteries - which in some cases of degradation could be repaired, at least partially, if you had some good strong and reasonably pure sulfuric acid - I viewed a YouTube video on how to make it. (From epsom salts by electrolysis using a flowerpot and some carbon rods from old large dry cells).

For months afterward YouTube "suggested" I'd be interested in videos from a bunch of Islamic religious leaders . (This while people were wondering how Islamic Terrorists were using the Internet to recruit among high-school out-group nerds.)

Software - AI and otherwise - often creates unintended consequences. B-)

I have space heaters with a switch on the bottom that turns off the heater when it falls over or is lifted off the ground. Imagining lidar or an ultrasonic detector on the bottom of what was previously a $30 space heater gave me a good laugh.

Imagine how good Voyager would be if those people actually were geniuses, instead of just having sex with geniuses.

You're not missing something. Much like Disney's "Snow White" was called a "success" despite bombing both at the box office and on streaming, the corporate media stooges will blithely state the complete opposite in an attempt to hide abject failure. Ubisoft is no different.

AC fans waited years to get a game with samurai's based in feudal Japan. What they got is a "samurai" game with no actual Japanese samurai protagonist. Ubisoft's reason for this is painfully obvious to everyone. This is why Japanese consumers have largely rejected it and has a lot to do with why sales have tanked overall.

There's a saying for this that ends with "go broke." It's slipping my mind at the moment, but I'm sure it'll come to me eventually.

If more companies would not only put a monetary bounty on these crooks but also specify "dead or alive," perhaps it would start to put a dent in their activities. They're already operating from countries that either look the other way or actively assist them in their activities. Putting a death mark on them ups the stakes considerably and allows the use of...ahem...alternate actors...ahem...that can operate beyond the law to get actual results.

maladroit: "Covid vaccinations saved lives and reduced the severity of cases."

Mirnotoriety: "Vaccination didn't prevent you getting Covid."

maladroit: "And now you're just lying."

If "Vaccination didn't prevent you getting Covid" is a lie, then vaccination prevented COVID in all cases. However, your first statement was "Covid vaccinations ... reduced the severity of cases." It is not possible to have a reduced-severity case without having a case. You have contradicted yourself.

Mores (2 syllables), societal standards. Morays are eels.

My experience with KDE has been that some changes irreversibly break existing behavior. Window toolbars disappear along with the mechanism to restore them. A second desktop task manager appears with no mechanism to move it or remove it.

I may be mistaken, but it appears that KDE has an update mechanism independent from Fedora's dnf, and I've found no way to disable it.

The official documentation is inadequate and seldom applies to the version I'm using. I often have to go to reddit to find cures, although as expected they work less than half the time.

That's at least 3600 Calories a day. He will remain very sick.

Money is what is traded for goods and services. If there aren't enough goods and services, no amount of money suffices.

It's kind of surprising it isn't all squealing nonsense.

Give it a little more time. B-b

We had a lab known to be unsafe. A lab known to be performing gain of function on the specific type of virus that emerged in public. We have a lab in close proximity to the market where the outbreak was traced back to.

We also had rumors that low-paid lab techs supplemented their income by selling test animals they'd been ordered to destroy to the nearby wet market.
