schestowitz>> BSD also has a CoC issue.Nov 09 02:20
schestowitz> Nov 09 02:20
schestowitz> You have to be more specific. BSD really isn't a single thing, *even theNov 09 02:20
schestowitz> branding* isn't a single thing past having the same initials. But whenNov 09 02:20
schestowitz> it comes to "how BSD is run organisationally" there is no such thing,Nov 09 02:20
schestowitz> because there are distinctly separate organisations with their own BSD,Nov 09 02:20
schestowitz> based in different countries at that. GNU is American, NetBSD isNov 09 02:20
schestowitz> American, OpenBSD is Canadian. But even if they were all Australian,Nov 09 02:20
schestowitz> they're still entirely different organisations that are as functionallyNov 09 02:20
schestowitz> distinct as they are similar, and they run differently.Nov 09 02:20
schestowitz> Nov 09 02:21
schestowitz> FreeBSD likes CoCs, but I consider FreeBSD a lost cause. De Raadt isNov 09 02:21
schestowitz> more like Torvalds (that's why they hate each other) though I like DeNov 09 02:21
schestowitz> Raadt better. He is (like Torvalds) unfair to rms, and that kept me awayNov 09 02:21
schestowitz> from OpenBSD for years. Only Hyperbola convinced me to overlook that.Nov 09 02:21
schestowitz> Nov 09 02:21
schestowitz> NetBSD is somewhere in the middle, though FreeBSD it isn't.Nov 09 02:21
schestowitz> Nov 09 02:21
schestowitz> The BSD situation has very little in common with the GNU/LinuxNov 09 02:21
schestowitz> situation. The difference by far, is that when you fork BSD, you fork anNov 09 02:21
schestowitz> entire OS-- you have more autonomy that way, which isn't justNov 09 02:21
schestowitz> hypothetical but has been demonstrated repeatedly. Linux can't do that--Nov 09 02:21
schestowitz> it hasn't even once, and the people who could do it have no plans to.Nov 09 02:21
schestowitz> GNU can't do that. Though GNU has better odds than Linux.Nov 09 02:21
schestowitzI largely agree about BSD, but wait till/if it gets bigger. It'll be tampered with all the same...Nov 09 02:21
schestowitz> One of the really giant differences between Torvalds and the entire BSDNov 09 02:21
schestowitz> world is that Torvalds was instrumental (even if he was ultimately aNov 09 02:21
schestowitz> pawn) in co-opting GNU and Free Software.Nov 09 02:21
schestowitz> Nov 09 02:21
schestowitz> BSD never did that. Nope-- never did. They may not be sympathetic, butNov 09 02:21
schestowitz> they also didn't work to steal and co-opt it like Torvalds did. So feelNov 09 02:21
schestowitz> free to compare some of them to Torvalds-- I do, but the difference isNov 09 02:21
schestowitz> that Torvalds was more like a traitor. Or, tell me how he wasn't, andNov 09 02:21
schestowitz> good luck with that.Nov 09 02:21
schestowitz> Re: Schestowitz's LawNov 09 02:22
schestowitz> "_____________ may claim to be a liberating and democratising force, butNov 09 02:22
schestowitz> that's assuming it does what it says on the tin."Nov 09 02:22

schestowitz                <p> Donated! </p>Nov 09 07:28
schestowitz                <p> It turned out my friend Bartek Tatkowski had snatched the domain! After getting all the administrative things in order, Bartek graciously donated the domain to me and 15:00 on October 30 2020 I could enter my own name servers into the dedicated inputs fields for the domain, and configure it properly in our master and secondary DNS servers. </p></blockquote></li>Nov 09 07:28
