Yes, you make a good point. That's what I meant with my proof of the pudding comment. As you say, looks fairly harmless on the surface, but you can detect a leftist undercurrent and as you say, it can explode in your face. As for OpenBSD I cannot find anything except perhaps this: Does OpenBSD has a Code Of Conduct? No and there is no known plan of having one. This is a topic upsetting OpenBSD people, just don’t ask about it and send patches. https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2018-03-16-openbsd-unofficial-faq.html Looks very promising! =) And also something here: https://www.mail-archive.com/misc@openbsd.org/msg167105.html I believe OpenBSD's code of conduct can be summed up as "if you are the type of person who needs a code of conduct to teach to you how to human then you are not welcome here". At least I hope so. Matthew I always thought it could be summed up as "Don't piss off Theo". ;-) ... :) He's setting a standard. So I don't have to worry about talking freely about what I think here. And that's just one reason why I try to migrate my machines to OpenBSD ... And one of the first things I do when looking at software, and whether it's useful for my needs or not: Are those who write it adults or are they whinies with problems regarding understandable speech? I'm trying to keep the latter mostly at safe distances from me, and I tend to avoid their code getting installed onto my machines ... So that's another reason I'm glad Theo de Raadt is setting a certain standard here ... So yes, for sure: "Don't piss off Theo". And no smiley. --8323328-1723170610-1720263024=:17764--
