Somewhat serious BSD discussion

The premise of throwing IPv4 out of the window appeared absurd straght away (and the timestamp only confirmed that). Theo is no idiot not to realize that IPv6 will possibly never completely supplant IPv4, and even if then not earlier then in ten or even twenty more years.

Shouldn't getting rid of obvious botnet that sits underneath everything else be top priority though?
Does OpenBSD have a MEI driver (and if yes, it it enabled by default)?

The
had me going for a second though since I knew 6.3 was about to be released.

*BSD loves proprietary though, they all load firmware and microcode blobs.

Been there, done that. IPv6 in networks with low security requirements (such as home networks) is a piece of cake. Campus networks with thousands of untrusted devices however...

LibreBSD when?

Every OS that supports "modern" hardware does this. If you want no firmware at all, you have to go back to early 90's or prior, but you'll still have chips with code in ROM doing effectively the same thing.

False. Debian works on TALOS II. What matters is whether it can be updated, firmware in ROM can not and can therefore be treated like hardware. Microcode and the firmware in linux-firmware can and does get updated and therefore is software, which ought to be free like the rest of the system.

Stallman is being full retard on this point.
First, putting Windows on a ROM chip doesn't make it less of a botnet.
Second, it can be updated, you just either need some extra hardware or replace chip manually (And back in the 80-ies some computers shipped software updates this way, just by sending you a new ROM chip with new firmware)

TALOS II is the only open thing that exists, you have a dataset of one.
