    retooted W T-D

    crikey people. I know I _used_ to be a BSD and Mac sysadmin, back when I was saving up the money to turn into an academic, and learned how to use TeX in four Himalayan languages, and eventually became a real professor, and then not, and dumped Macs, and then became a gov't anthropologist, and I'm cleaning the Linux stains off everything now. So I kept the habit of running my own servers and all that, though with attitudes that are about 30 years out of date, and I would much rather learn a new script than scripting language these days. And I wrote and thought a lot about ethics, sentient beings, and technology along the way.

    But seriously, I wake up and find that #NetBSD is now the only safe harbour? Whaaat? I really hope the idiots who are trying to poison FreeBSD go find their personal Epstein island or whatever they want really; it would be good to have a choice. Thank goodness for NetBSD at least but ungggh it's going to be a lot of work moving all the tools over.
