 I miss those days. We hosted on FreeBSD until the credit card industry forced us to move to Linux. 
 another person who was in tech before all you youngins even were out of nappies agrees that BSD was the original and is the best

it is only the deliberate obstruction of hardware support for it that keeps it from competing with linux, and it is probably only Apple and Sony, of all companies, that are keeping it from completely falling off the map

celebrating the oldest and most elegant operating system being abandoned by a major network security distribution is really really ignorant and only something that someone ignorant of the history of said operating system could ever say

 not only ignorant of history but ignorant of the fact that BSD kernels are far more secure against remote exploits and other hacks because of its architecture, that's the WHOLE REASON WHY PFSENSE USED IT! 
 That feel when you have more than zero BSD devices 🫡

Mines a cheap Intel board from AliExpress running OVPN 🤡🤷‍♂️
