freebasedgirl··on San Bernardino County tweets it reset attacker iCloud password at FBI's request
Texas.net is what we're talking about. And by software, I mean Solaris source code.

Where you kept a copy of the Solaris Operating system for all of your coworkers to peruse. We use to track you back then as you were one of the larger pirates of our software. :P
freebasedgirl··on ZFS Licensing and Linux
The CDDL is an anti-forking license. It requires spooning.
freebasedgirl··on Show HN: Htop 2.0 released, now cross-platform
If it did not try so hard to emulate nmon poorly, I'd use it more.
freebasedgirl··on Roswell: a Lisp installer and launcher for major environment that just works
If you live in the unix image this is great. The moment you want to do your work exclusively inside the Lisp image it ceases to be useful.
freebasedgirl··on GitHub Outage
Always funny when a DCVS is used more like a CVS like github. They go down and you have all the same failings as if just using cvs/svn.

The army of West Virginia.
freebasedgirl··on Writing Assembly on OpenBSD (x86) (2012)
OpenBSD is a great platform to find those bugs in your asm/c. Segfaults that would not happen on Linux. (e.g. closing a file before exit that you never opened). http://nixdoc.net/man-pages/OpenBSD/malloc.conf.5.html is also another great place to tweak memory allocation behaviors to find those application corner cases that break.
freebasedgirl··on How Target failed in Canada
The problem I found is in the US there is a class system of those who despise Walmart as being for the "commoners". In Canada the stigma is much less to non-existent. Walmart pays more, has the same insurance for all its employees, and does not actively promote "anti-union" videos to new hires.

Why sit around six months out of date? Packages stop getting updated. With current that's not an issue.

We borrow a lot, however Freebsd tends to like to do things as library layers. e.g. libgraph, and other things we don't do.

5.9 is going to be amazing. I've been running current and with the patches from Bitrig's port of Netbsd features, we now have a working dtrace/zfs. No more fsck! Dtrace lacks the pledge(2) probes, but hope that gets fixed soon. Otherwise it's nice to have alternatives to desktop linux. Only miss Spotify. oh well.
