Turns out #OpenBSD is also good for marketing.

Warren Toomey has started a fundraiser to support the running costs of The Unix History Society's (TUHS) infrastructure.

You can support TUHS via gofundme:

After just having responded to the third #curl security report for the evening I noticed a post that cheered me up...

Have a good Friday everyone!

A Libreboot contributor added ThinkPad X280 support to Libreboot a while ago, but I never got round to setting up mine until today. No idea wtf I did wrong when *I* tried adding it, but hey, it works.

Thank you "AlguienSasaki" for adding it, and thank you Johann C. Rode for porting this wonderful ThinkPad to coreboot!

And I installed OpenBSD on mine. Because of course I did. Why the hell would I *not* install OpenBSD on every computer that I own? OpenBSD is the best thing since the telephone.

If you program, you should read this piece.

"Ada's successes — the aircraft that have not crashed, the railway signalling systems that have not failed, the missile guidance software that has not misguided — are invisible precisely because they are successes. The languages that failed visibly, in buffer overflows and null pointer exceptions and data races and security vulnerabilities, generated the discourse. [Ada did not]"

For *BSD fans, I wish to understand something that truly bothers me.

You are a fan of one or more BSD os. Is that BSD (doesn't matter which one) your daily driver, your primary OS on your main computer?

Letzte Frage: Welche Maßnahmen halten Sie für die wichtigsten, damit es zu einer echten Verkehrswende kommt?

Nummer eins wäre ein generelles Tempolimit auf Autobahnen. Erst 130 km/h, dann 110. Zweitens würde ich das Parken von privaten Autos auf öffentlichen Straßen generell verbieten. Das war schon mal so, dann sind die Privilegien auch wieder weg. Und das Dritte: Ich würde ein 29-Euro-Ticket einführen – und zwar für alles, nicht nur für den Nahverkehr, sondern auch für den Fernverkehr. Und wenn Sie jetzt fragen, wie finanzieren Sie das, kommen meine finalen Maßnahmen: Abschaffung der Dieselsubventionierung, komplette Abschaffung des Dienstwagenprivilegs und die völlige Abschaffung der Pendlerpauschale. Das sind fast 12, 13, vielleicht sogar 14 Milliarden Euro – und damit kriege ich das 29-Euro-Ticket locker finanziert.
