There are a lot i could go after.:)

I would also yell at AT&T for trying to kill *BSD too.. But then again, if they didnt, we may not be talking about Linux today.

I guess them coming up with their package manager and fragmenting
that part of the community future annoyed me.  

If you're going to go after people for fragmentation, you should go after the two most 100% Hitler Equivalent people ever to set foot in the open source community: Miguel de Icaza and Nat Friedman. Those two did more to delay the success of Linux and open source than even Richard Marx Stallman did.

Its hard to say really.  The driving force behind BSD is different than Linux. Both in structure and expectations.

I guess when i reboot the simulation after the war starts this time ill have to delete a bit of code so that Linus never is born. Don't want to prevent Tanenbaum as he is too important in other fields ( like RISC ).. ( since Linus started with Minix that would be an easy stop if it never happened, but no, I dont want to screw up too much of the timeline )

My bet is BSD would have become what Linux is today, so the point is moot.

GNOME.

And not so sure it was that big of a deal personally.

May you ellaborate so we young people may learn something?

I had forgot they were tied to mono. Yes, that does earn them a dislike. 

Has anyone noticed that the new logo for "X" (the new name for Twitter) looks suspiciously like the logo for "X" (the X Window System) ?

I saw a blurb go across my news feed yesterday , not exact words but in general: "thousands have claim to musk's new logo that was given to him by a fan"

I mentioned that same thing over on Twitter/X.

I am emmeowing on a new server project.  I am building a storage server.  Looking at getting a new Adaptec HBA card.  The HBA 1200-32i that can attach up to 32 drives, and it supports mixed-mode arrays with SAS and SATA.  I'm going all SATA because SAS be expensive!  24x 4TB SATA SSDs, 96TB raw storage, 80TB usable storage with ZFS.  Ya, I'm getting the HBA card first, it be expensive.

The rest of the server will be commodity-grade stuffs, so a Ryzen 7000 series with 96GB memory.  Yes, it's gonna run FreeBSD.  No, FreeBSD will not be installed on the storage array, it'll have its own NVMe.  All the drives in the array will be directly added to ZFS, so no partitioning will be done.

That is ironic in a way.

I'm about order several ( 5 ) tiny ARM boards that have m.2 sockets on them to build a ceph cluster out of. Going to opt for boards that also have wifi ( just so i have more options if i want it )..  About 30 bucks each, not including the m.2

Will build/print a small 6" rack to put them in. A small 5 port switch embedded in the top and a PS at the bottom.

Will end up being bare armbian + ceph software ( which runs on python.. )

But that's not going to give you ungodly amounts of storage.

No but i could add more nodes until im blue in the face.  I think i can get up to 8TB on a m.2 ssd.  Not that i could afford or rationalize it.. but being a cluster its brain dead easy to add more space to it. Plug it into the network, run a command to add it to the pool, poof more storage.

And if i wanted to go larger. sata options do of course exist. But part of this is its tiny, inexpensive and very low power requirements. Board is same size as an RPI.

Just noticed it has a fake SATA port on it too..   ( fake = usb to sata )

You forfeit one punch in your geek card :)

Woah! I thought I recognized it from somewhere, but failed to make the connection.
