What Brings People to FreeBSD?
Recent comments on our community post showed just how diverse the paths into FreeBSD can be. Some users have been running FreeBSD since the 1990s for its stability and predictable behavior. Others found it through TrueNAS, books, mentors, user groups, or simply curiosity.
Thank you to everyone who shared their experience. These stories help newcomers see the many ways FreeBSD supports real-world work.

Can you imagine what the dating experience is like with a marketing exec who thinks 11 emails and 13 texts in the space of a few days after signing up for a discount code is probably the right number?

Two paths diverge before you…
A U.S. senator is justifying war crimes: the military acting as judge, jury, and executioner for non-capital offenses. A reminder that there is evidence innocent passengers were onboard these vessels.

Looks like May won't be voting for another Carney budget!
Prediction: This government will fall before Canada Day 2026.
Carney will become one of the shortest-term Prime Ministers in Canadian history.

Elizabeth Nolan Brown has an article in Reason leading up to tomorrow's hearing
"Can you judge the heat of a moral panic by the number of bills purporting to solve it? At the height of human trafficking hysteria in the 2010s, every week seemed to bring some new measure meant to help the government tackle the problem (or at least get good press for the bill's sponsor). Now lawmakers have moved on from sex trafficking to social media—from Craigslist and Backpage to Instagram, TikTok, and Roblox. So here we are, with a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee hearing on 19 different kids-and-tech bills scheduled for this week."

Alright I've been warned that following people while having zero posts is a red flag so I gotta start with something cool

HP-UX is an odd one on many levels, but also when it comes to games: not even Doom exists as a prepackaged, ready-to-go game. You'll need to construct it yourself with vague, outdated instructions.
Forget about Quake I/II/III. They *supposedly* exist, but fuck if anyone knows where.

@TuuktuukTuukka R Because personal information about children must be considered extremely sensitive and protected at the highest standard.
And the only way to do this is with solid and well-implemented end-to-end encryption.
@Em0nM4stodonEm 
@TuuktuukTuukka R And platform owner knowing that a user is a child endangers them by risking exposing that information to attackers and to insider threats. The only solution is to treat personal information on all users as if they might be children, and not possess or have capability to access anything beyond what's absolutely needed.

Just so you know, we need to push back against privacy-invasive regulations.
Each and every time.
Shrugging and using a VPN will not save you. They will come for the VPNs next.
Then the ISPs.
Then more.
Pushing against unjust laws matters.
The tools alone will not save you in the long run.

Congress is moving toward a nationwide age-verification mandate, but instead of verifying age on every website or app, lawmakers want to make app stores do it.

Cool Ranch may be young, but he has discovered the optimal approach for the gloomy days of winter.
Public servants are meant to be transparent. Private citizens are meant to be… private. Flip that, and you don’t have a democracy anymore — you have surveillance.

Wow, looked up Miami and couldn't stop scrolling to see all of the surveillance tools that are used here. :(
This is a fantastic resource!
