Yes, you are right. Most people have no idea that there is more to the internet than web sites and email. You start talking TCP vs UDP to them and they have never heard of either of them.

That isn't a VPN. It is just a proxy and it only works with stuff that supports SOCKS.

OpenSSH can make a VPN with ssh -w but it kinda sucks at it.

I didn't say it wasn't good I said it wasn't modular.

And OpenBSD's init system (rc) is about as non-modular as it gets.

This is about talking to Cisco not from Cisco.

Use netcat (aka nc) for that. It works just as well and you can just ^C to get out of it.

I know I am splitting hairs here but neither was a state at the time.

So, what do I add to USE or CFLAGS to be able to call myself rich using imaginary money? CFLAGS="-fmake-money"? USE="federal_reserve"?

You think we get nothing from exploring beyond our tiny little insignificant spec of space?

So, some day the children of helicopter parents will get their revenge.
Assuming some of them at some point learn how to live.

Yeah, if you don't mind someone else coming along and formatting your apparently unformatted drive for you.
Or a rogue boot loader (like the Windows one installing itself at the start of your filesystem.

I ran into that a few years ago when I added a 4TB hardware RAID5 to my Linux server. The partition table that is made by fdisk can't handle it. I was forced to use parted to make an EFI partition table instead. It was a little different but completely doable. Took me about 2 minutes on Google to find a howto.

What will kill DJBDNS is when PCI and other standards groups start to require DNSSEC in order to do business. Then companies will be forced to switch to a less secure DNS server just to speak a slightly more secure protocol.

Flare guns count too. Plus they are unregulated in every state. Their ammo is not allowed though.

Actually, flying with a checked and properly declared firearm is a great way to keep your stuff safe. You are required by federal law to use locks that the TSA can't open so you don't have to worry about them stealing stuff from your case.
