Re: Wot!

Hitler was far right you absolute clown.

He was no more "socialist" than the democratic party of North Korea is democratic.

I'd suggest you look up the true meanings and the origins of the word "fascist", but you'd just dismiss it as a lefty plot.

Re: Wot!

You must be a parody account!

I thought "everything I hate must be left-wing" was reserved to braindead MAGA-chumps.

But if you want evidence of ridiculousness, look no further than the comments to this very article. (and the previous one that mentioned Musk, and probably most of them)

Every post - however reasonable - that dares say something that may seem critical of Musk - is downvoted at least once. I'm not even talking about the insulting ones or even anything debatable. Anyone that dares not worship his Muskiness must be bad.. Just like with your orange god Trump. Why do you believe the widely debunked twitter files when the evidence is clear to see (and Sabroni even posted it)?

Very insecure and paranoid you chaps are - and the grifters know it. They exploit your cowardliness and fear and paranoia to whip up hatred and support.

Tell me, what's the latest lefty plot to ruin your very "English-Patriot" way of life?

13? There are over 600 root servers spread around the world.

The UK alone has 22.

Re: Bullshaite

Someone who knows nothing about the situation could read your comment as thoughtful and informative....

Until they get to the last 2 paragraphs, when you show yourself to be childish, uninformed, and biased.

But you know that - which is why you were too ashamed to put your name to your comment.

"extreme left"?

LOL. X hosts Nazi content. They also show adverts. Some adverts get shown alongside Nazi content. Even X doesn't deny this.

Now, if media matters has been faking and manipulating the system to exaggerate the results, then they deserve to be called out for it, but talking about "extreme left" and these apparent bogeymen creating the divisive political landscape makes you sound like a clown.

Fox News, Newmax, and ONN, Trump, and the GOP in general are the creators of the divisiveness in the USA. Braverman, Farage, Brexit grifters, and GB News are responsible for it in this country.

It's one thing the guys you cheer for have been successful at - at least own it!

Re: I assume that the eagles have been paid up front

I didn't know the names, but I knew you were correct from just reading the statement from Ken Paxton's office. Part of it read:

"Attorney General Paxton was extremely troubled by the allegations that Media Matters, a radical anti-free speech organization, fraudulently manipulated data on X.com "

Whatever someones politics, and irrespective of the merits of the case, throwing out Trumpian dog-whistles to the MAGA-morons is daft, and childish. In fact, Media-matters should sue over it!

Not my downvote, but presumably someone else also is familiar with FreeBSD from wayback.

The link you quoted says:

"into the role of Ports Meister and went off to write pkg_install(1) as the logical counterpart to ports”.

pkg_install was the package system prior to the current pkg system. Did you even look at my link?

Here's another: pkg_add

And finally, from the latest https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?pkg(7) :

"HISTORY

The pkg command first appeared in FreeBSD 9.1. It became the default package tool in FreeBSD 10.0, replacing the pkg_install suite of tools

pkg_add(1), pkg_info(1) and pkg_create(1)."

pkg_install (pkg_add, pkg_create, pkg_delete etc.) had been there since way before I got involved over 25 years ago. I remember it well. I was there.

Re: I've Used GhostBSD

Flashbacks of "This site works best in Internet Explorer 6". And with the really abusive sites, they'd add something like "Please upgrade to this modern browser"

ARGGGH

Re: No corruption here.

Good afternoon, 30p Lee.

That's up there along with "If you want to save money, spend less",or other brain-dead government ideas like "get a better paid job"

Re: " “pay almost nothing for data transport in our networks.”

But back to the first question... I don't know if you know this, but in the UK, the owner of the main national local-loop infrastructure (BT) was forced to split from the service provider (BT).

"Openreach" (as the local-loop company is now called) are responsible for the local-loop, and are required to sell access to it to anyone who wants it, at the same price.

Yes, there were calls for it to be completely independent, but big cash and politicians said otherwise, so it's now a "fully independent" company, owned by BT. Still, looking past the potential conflict of interest (which to be fair, is held in check), the point is, any joe-blow can set up an internet company / phone company, and there is no one company that has an effective monopoly over the local infrastructure to stop them.

Maybe a similar idea (where the service company is disconnected from the company that owns the local cable, and is forced to be impartial) would work in America?

Re: " “pay almost nothing for data transport in our networks.”

"A bus company is a public service that can't boot people off for protected classes (sex/gender, age, religion, and general appearance including inoffensive clothing choices) nor because of where they shop at. ("Victoria's Secret? Not on my bus!")"

I don't disagree, but there were 2 stories in this article - one about American Net Neutraiity, and one about European ISPs wanting to double-charge for bandwidth.

My response, and analogy, was in response to the second story.

And just to clarify further, whilst my example could be applied to public bus services, I was thinking more about private bus "shuttle" services, or even taxis... Whatever.

The point being, if a transport company of any kind offers customers a monthly subscription with unlimited travel to the shopping centre, they can't then attempt to charge the shopping centre if it starts to become a really popular destination, making their customer contracts unprofitable.

If they really need more cash, they need to change the terms of future customer contracts - it's got sod all to do with the shopping centre!

Re: 80 minutes?

Impressive if the car park holds 100's of cars. Not so much if it's just 3 or 4!

Re: Witty names

I always thought that would be a good way to help reduce torrenting of your stuff

Just call your band "A" and your albums "and", to, "the" etc!

Re: Sharing.....but then there's what get shared!

I decoded the messages. :-)

Naah, I don't know for sure, but the same tone of the prefix text, and general formatting was used each time. Sure, it could be a copy/paste job, but that seems to be a reach.

Re: Sharing.....but then there's what get shared!

"Privacy discussion in progress here......"

That was not a discussion. You just posted random/encrypted text. Why? What point does it prove?

- "clever"....well there's Michelle Donelan....

Using the example of politicians to win that argument is cheating!

- "big"....a matter of opinion....I'd think "privacy" was "big"....

Privacy is big. Your post was not relevant.

That leaves "funny", which you admitted it's not, so.......
