    Even if you disagree with him or think he's a loon, plenty of stuff is being made up to get him deplatformed. Free speech unless the snowflakes disagree with you this day in time, it seems. 'murica.

  8. Re:Poor Practices by PVS Studio and HexRays on PVS-Studio Analyzer Spots 40 Bugs In the FreeBSD Kernel · · Score: 1

    Yeah, which sucks. People would be more interested if they'd at least provide the xml exports from their tools.

    Not to mention licensing in a way that makes people able to afford and/or use the software for open source and free software - part of their analyzer uses clang, the least they could do is actually contribute toward that project and the ones that they "analyze."

  9. Poor Practices by PVS Studio and HexRays on PVS-Studio Analyzer Spots 40 Bugs In the FreeBSD Kernel · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It seems like every time they do this for promotion they just claim everything as a "bug" without really individually investigating and reporting all of them, taking only some obviously wrong ones and then lumping the whole report onto the project's bug tracker, if we're lucky.

    PVS Studio is a great application but since they only do team licensing "1-9 developers" I can't see the benefit in buying it, just like IDA Pro. I'm an open source only dev in the C/C++/C# world, all my profitable work is in other languages...

    I'd gladly pay a REASONABLE price for all these tools if they'd not only provide proper Linux versions (PVS studio only ever had an internal Linux version...in projects with Linux and Windows specific code it is difficult if not impossible to analyze the Linux parts) but so far since it seems like the real benefit to open source teams who can't afford this software (that is windows only anyway, mostly) is extremely low despite it's utility otherwise.

    The m0n0wall dev also owned m0n0wall.ch, which does this redirect.

    They have a lot of drama between them, but pfsense still seems superior, especially since as I understand it, the current 2.3 beta is a mostly unpatched FreeBSD, I hear they only have patches on some of the vendor specific drivers....which reminds me I need to file a bug about a crappy broadcom ethernet chip.

  14. After reading discussion in the pfsense forums... on FreeBSD-Powered Firewall Distro OPNsense 16.1 Released (phoronix.com) · · Score: 0

    This project seems like a joke in many ways despite having valid goals. They also took over the m0nowall domains from it's creator and instead of maintaining them as-is, they redirect to their own domain and crown themselves as successors to the legacy of that project, when really, pfSense is that.

    We need to fire everyone in Washington DC and reform the crap out of everything. Both sides are wrong here - why vote for a flawed by design bill? It only exists for political posturing for elections.

    We need to remove the bureaucracy, scrap the tax law and start over, zero base budget every agency, and force everyone in DC to work for an amount that is equal to the mean wage of the nation, since they're supposedly volunteers. On top of that, Obamacare should apply to them and pensions should be removed for all of them, past present and future.

    They aren't, this is all for appearance sake for elections, so that they can say "I voted in favor of privacy reform to protect you" in their political ads, while having done nothing in reality. It is BS.
