Had same idea some time ago: https://imgur.com/a/11StYkd ;)

Did you really had to use AI to create this?

Neither Somehow.

German 29%, Autistic 22%

"OpenBSD does not want to attract GNU newbies." misc@

And that's IMHO is a good thing.


Finally I see some people around. Was pretty lonely, as it launched.


Glad to have played with it a bit before it got Slashdotted. ;)


It is no longer the same. It went from somewhat exclusive dining experience to full blown nuclear junk food chain vibe.

I've stopped attending it about 10 years ago. I rather prefer to watch some few interesting topics online, and skip all the wanna-be political junk.


You choose to ignore politics, but politics doesn't choose to ignore you. Ostriching doesn't seem productive.


> Ostriching doesn't seem productive.

But listening to pep talks of political opinions that are very opposite to yours does not seem productive, either.


Reminded me of GNU Terry Pratchett[1].

Also: Banana - Although not technically living, it does make for a good size comparison.


It had to be added:

To be honest, all I see is https://xkcd.com/927/

All config formats are bad. You either don't need all the features at all, except key:value. Or you quickly run into weird limitations and quirks.

What I rather like instead, are custom build english-like DSL's, like:

- https://man.openbsd.org/pf.conf - https://man.openbsd.org/smtpd.conf - https://man.openbsd.org/httpd.conf - … and many more


OpenBSD's daemons' configs are pleasant. But then you have to maintain a DSL for even small projects. Most people aren't going to want to implement and maintain a whole one-off config language for their small project. Which is why having a common, minimal option is nice.


I've never started. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And also not going to. I see enough crap, colleges produce, to never touch this pile of dung.
