I would expect CDE (or NsCDE).

Cannot find what are the min HW requirements ? What min RAM/HDD/CPU to get simple X11 environment ? Will it run on 486DX2-66 ?

It says 32-bit support completely removed, so I doubt it.

That is the most evil part. Finally we will have bots talking to bots, no human in the loop.

All email problems can be solved with GPG, but that ruins Fastmail and other email services business, as they won't be able to read and analyze their users' emails. No ads, no selling user profiles to ad companies, not even teaching AI on user data. This is the kind of future of email I would like to see. Sadly, noone uses GPG and it's quite hard to teach people to do it.

Preach. Exactly.

We will eventually be forced down this path though, be patient! Upfront key exchange in-person will be the only way left to prove comms are real. GPG is just one path but someone will come along and make it easy on organizational level.

Delta Chat is an email client I use and advise to my correspondents, it does GPG stuff quite comfortably. Yet it still requires understanding of the process.

Fastmail reads or analyzes users email to sell ads? Fastmail trains ai models on their user's email messages?

Metadata is more valuable than message content for analysis. GPG solves that how?

Even though they have not been caught, it does no mean they are not doing so. We live in the world of zero trust.

In most cases yes, only From: and To: headers are exposed.

I think I know quite some things about OS internals, but not that much as a guy how writes device drivers daily. Would happily read such book to get in par with the author.

> This book has negative value. It is actively destructive to FreeBSD, even if in the short term it boosts the author's public profile.

I won't be that radical, the book still has value. There are many useful code samples with descriptions and explanations of concepts I did not know before. But to get to them one has to dig through a forrest of useless tokens. Someone has to pass it through an LLM and publish distilled edition. :-)

> This book is a dishonest AI scam.

Indeed! I read through a couple of paragraphs. Each begins with a bloated introduction where each sentence repeats same idea many times in different words. Lot's of bullets repeating same statement. That's exactly how LLM scam looks like. The whole book is full of water. It can be reduced in size by a factor of 5.

How about demo-design ? I mean good old PC demoscnece. Try to fit something feasible into 64K.

Do not pay for premium accounts, use their freemium service to death! Let them die hard!

Excuse me for being ignorant, is Seccomp what SELinux is based on ?

Also, what is well-known piece of software that uses Capsicum on FreeBSD ? Can someone name a few ?

No. SELinux is based on the Linux Security Module framework, which places explicit hooks at key points within the kernel.

They also operate under pretty fundamentally different philosophies. Seccomp is based on a program dropping its own permissions. SELinux is based on a system integrator writing an ahead of time policy restricting what a program can do.

When I was watching that Lunduke's video a couple of days ago initially I was thinking he's just making a joke of that Vendefoul Wolf distro on 200MB box. I recalled using FreeBSD as access server with lots of modems (PPP/SLIP), Apache, Samba and QuakeWorld server running on a box with just 32MB of RAM. That was also my daily working machine with XF86 and Enlightenment desktop manager, circa 2000. So, 200MB is a whole lot of memory!
