FreeBSD is BSD.

“Problematic”

And its little sister, PiCore, which enables the excellent PiCorePlayer.

SliTaz GNU/Linux is a cool lightweight diatro.

Haven’t used it in a while. It was dead for a bit, but it’s active again. I should look at what it feels like these days. I remember being impressed at how smoothly it ran while looking good, +10 years ago, in 300MB or so.

Makes them read Scheme.

But seriously, it’s a scheme-based approach to a fully free declarative OS, similar to NixOS (from which it was forked ages ago. They are doing very interesting work and some HPC and scientific folks are taking notice.

Some place in Rone when I was about 10 on a trip with my parents. Cut out of a massive rectangle, ate in the street, it was memorable.

Sounds like you’re in good hands. Enjoy the ride, plenty to learn and to feel good about understanding :)

What did I just waste 40s reading?

I’m not sure you are fully aware of the Tor threat model. The exit node is not supposed to be specifically trusted.

This.

It’s factual, public, relevant info, it can and should be on Wikipedia.

Of course it can’t replace it, it’s a point-in-time archive.

Sure but, again, the files are in a relatively low quality.

It’s got lots of great ideas (combining what’s essentially a giant git repo with bit torrent), but in practice it’s pretty slow to do anything

You assume a whole lot of thought and strategy from “the boss” :)

I dont disagree though, fundamentally.

How big is said workplace? Can you respectfully ask for an exemption? Don’t say Windows will make you miserable (it makes everyone miserable, apart from a few Microsoft bootlickers), talk about loss of productivity, reduced security and increased risk, and – if you can – challenge the grounds on which the change is being made.

Often, they are incapable of providing proper justification for the change. May not help, but you’ll have the minor satisfaction of knowing it is bullshit.

Meh, does “the boss” pay you to use a shovel or to dig stuff up?

It’s obvious OP is going to be miserable and less productive on Windows, it’s not to their employer’s benefit for that to happen.

Amusingly, Ubuntu Cola is pretty good.

Lots of smaller, independent brands make nice cola, like Fritz-Kola in Germany or Breizh Cola in France. Don’t expect to find them at your local hole in the wall though.

Non !

Yeah, this isn’t like using OpenBSD! /s

That’s a pretty brutal takedown, made all the better by the fact it’s well written and provides a sound technical analysis.
