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

Journal Journal: It is 2025 and Slashdot doesn't support IPv6?

Journal by grub on Sunday February 09, 2025 @11:33AM

I've been migrating all my stuff to IPv6 because I'm retarded and felt like (another) winter project.

So I have a Debian VM that is IPv6-only for testing things out, general browsing, etc. and see that Slashdot doesn't support IPv6? One would think a tech site would have been onboard with this years ago.

Don't use the app, it tracks all your accounts. Instead use Reddit in a browser with uBlock Origin. Otherwise it is insufferable.

Folks have been trying to bring this to the table since computers were first rolled out.

The problem is, any sort of taxes/fees will impact corporate profits (or be inflationary) so are pretty much a non-starter in the current political climate.

We need a trust-busting President who can get a political ground-swell of support who actually has a moral backbone, not a pot-smoking or bar-tending woman-chasing draft-dodger.
