Haven't used OBSD in years, but I do use OpenSSH all the time. There are lots of stuff lurking in my OS of choice, NetBSD, that came from OBSD. So I would like to thank Mircea Popescu for his generosity. I can only muster $A50 I'm afraid.

Edit: suckful spelling

Just went to try to donate. Can't seem to do it at the donation page. Can't seem to enter my Australian address in any of the US and Canada links. I am certain my CC issuer will decline it. What gives?

A few years from now, when cryptocurrencies have all but taken over the existing payment networks, it will be for reasons EXACTLY like this bullshit. It should not be remotely this hard to exchange money between any 2 entities on the Internet.

Their donation page takes Bitcoin donations. I slung them a half a BTC. It took all of 5 seconds and then I moved on with my life. It was a sweet 5 seconds.

Nitpick, OpenBSD came out of Theo's disagreements with the NetBSD team, not the other way around.

Stuff came back to NetBSD just as stuff continues to flow from it. The BSDs are a big circle of code.

Nothing to do with that. There are currently lots of drivers and OpenSSH of course, in NetBSD that came from OBSD.

Henning's humor isn't THAT inaccessible...

Yeah, I know who GP Thomann is (was). We sold the RE/search books at Fringeware.

But I'll bet 8 of 10 on HN do not. Moreover, some percentage of HN won't understand that OpenBSD forked from NetBSD, and the rest of the 'joke' stream will be lost.

And... I was responding to "lies".

I thought "lies..." was unambiguous. My bad. Next time... well, no jokes next time.

You're joking, right?

Soviet Unterzoegersdorf is no joke!

Soviet Unterzoegersdorf is fictitious nation. It is, explicitly, a joke.
