OH: "BSD is that marvel of engineering that you aspire to marry. Linux is that $10 hooker that you got with because you were desperate for something fast and easy."

@natecull in the cloud, it works like this:

1. i tell the service provider to delete my data.

2. the service provider says that it has deleted my data.

3. the service provider retains my data anyway.

@aral in a spirit of cross #os cooperation: there is an excellent #FreeBSD port that might inspire the package builders:

It seems people are custom making and donating things to auction off at the #BSDCan closing ceremony. The proceeds go to the Ottawa Mission. Really amazing and inspiring.

Guess I should use the format to let you click my new profile. Doh!

@Strog

I've setup my own instance to learn more about how this all works. I'm going to switch over to the new account and stop using this one.

can't believe they called it "the iliad" and not "troy story"

There is not sudo by default in OpenBSD. Our main user machine is now no longer Linux and is OpenBSD. I'm not installing sudo on the machine. Mainly because of all the students who assume they can use sudo on *my* server.

So one of my faculty members and I have come up with the idea of what we now call "sassy sudo". Sudo on the new server will be a wrapper around fortune pulling from a sudo database.

"sduo: command not found"
"sudo: removing user account"
etc.

@Gargron Check out #FreeBSD and fall in love with its native support for #ZFS.

Words cannot describe how much I hate that #Linux lacks SIGINFO. Worst operating system ever.

Thanks @Gargron, @Mastodon

The #FreeBSD port/package has been updated to version 1.4.1.

I don't think the point of having special interest instances is having every single member of the community literally on that instance. Some people will be commuting elsewhere and that is ok! Although if you are constantly commuting with one instance above others, (participating to the activities etc) you might want to move closer, (which was why I moved from mastodon.social to mastodon.art) [cont]

#Mastodon is now in the #FreeBSD ports tree.
