Is there a LibertyBSD community? how big is it? reddit / BSD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rectagonal · 2018-07-13 18:38 Not sure but ive seen a few of their users over at raddle.me might be worth asking over there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- darkempath · 2018-07-15 05:16 Liberty wut? I'm guessing it's not very big. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- letterafterl14 · 2018-07-20 16:46 who knows how many BSDs there are, there's MidnightBSD, EdgeBSD, and so on ---------------------------------------------------------------------- darkempath · 2018-07-20 19:14 The difference being that I've heard of MidnightBSD (and it's been discontinued). LibertyBSD sounds like something released by Karl Rove. Is it a legit BSD or is it an astroturf neo-nazi release? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Spendocrat · 2018-07-20 21:16 It's some kind of OpenBSD protest fork. https://marc.info/?l=openbsd- misc&m=145589638702932&w=2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lbmn · 2018-07-21 00:29 Some data for crude BSD community size guesstimates: * **FreeBSD**: [wp](https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.w ikipedia.org&platform=all- access&agent=user&range=latest-20&pages=FreeBSD)=693 ; [alexa](https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/freebsd.org)=*31,142* [r](https://old.reddit.com/r/freebsd/)=*8,640* ; [fn](http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode&chat=freebsd)=*775* ; [dw](https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=freebsd)=296 * **OpenBSD**: [wp](https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en. wikipedia.org&platform=all- access&agent=user&range=latest-20&pages=OpenBSD)=345 ; [alexa](https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/openbsd.org)=146,586 ; [r](https://old.reddit.com/r/openbsd/)=4,857 ; [fn](http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode&chat=openbsd)=717 ; [dw](https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=openbsd)=146 * **NetBSD**: [wp](https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.w ikipedia.org&platform=all- access&agent=user&range=latest-20&pages=NetBSD)=183 ; [alexa](https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/netbsd.org)=189,733 ; [r](https://old.reddit.com/r/netbsd/)=1,191 ; [fn](http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode&chat=netbsd)=224 ; [dw](https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=netbsd)=99 * **TrueOS**: [wp](https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.w ikipedia.org&platform=all- access&agent=user&range=latest-20&pages=TrueOS)=164 ; [alexa](https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/trueos.org)=190,251 ; [r](https://old.reddit.com/r/trueos/)=601 ; [fn](http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode&chat=trueos)=44 ; [dw](https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=trueos)=*642* * **DragonFlyBSD**: [wp](https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?projec t=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all- access&agent=user&range=latest-20&pages=DragonFly_BSD)=113; [alexa](https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/dragonflybsd.org)=625,980 ; [r](https://old.reddit.com/r/dragonflybsd/)=773 ; [fn](http://irc.ne tsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode&chat=dragonflybsd)=15; [dw](https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=dragonflybsd)=173 * **LibertyBSD**: [wp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_BSD_operating_systems)=0; [alexa](https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/libertybsd.net)=7,250,340 ; [r](https://old.reddit.com/r/libertybsd/)=6 ; [fn](http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode&chat=libertybsd)=13 ; [dw](https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=libertybsd)=[0](h ttps://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=links#new) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- darkempath · 2018-07-21 03:35 Like MidnightBSD, it looks like some kind of *unmaintained* protest fork. Its terrible website has no dates on it, so I can't tell when it was last updated, but the latest release of LibertyBSD (6.1) is obsolete. OpenBSD is up to version 6.3, and OpenBSD 6.1 was release over a year ago. The LibertyBSD forum is, of course, a 404 page. And the name is a giveaway. It instantly made me think "neo-nazi" and "white supremacist", and of course it's hosted in Texas :-p When you give your project an alt-right name, you probably shouldn't make your logo a gold star! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- illumosguy · 2018-07-21 12:14 >The difference being that I've heard of MidnightBSD (and it's been discontinued). It's not, Lucas Holt has been adding a lot of drivers to CURRENT lately, committing security patches, updating mports; I suppose a new fixed release is going to come out any time soon ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _d9867eb · 2018-07-23 08:55 the girl running the project is a commie. alt-right name? is freedom alt-right? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mgladiethor · 2018-07-23 12:00 thats low ---------------------------------------------------------------------- darkempath · 2018-07-23 12:24 > is freedom alt-right? No, but any organisation or project name starting with "Freedom" or "Liberty" is almost always a yank fascist group. It screams gun-toting libertarian. And surprise surprise, the project is from Texas. You don't get that kind of rhetoric from Canada, or the UK, or New Zealand, or here in Australia. Just the US. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _d9867eb · 2018-07-23 12:57 libertarian = facist? lol wut ---------------------------------------------------------------------- darkempath · 2018-07-23 14:07 Don't ask me. man. You guys are the ones that chose Trump to represent you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- darkempath · 2018-07-25 08:00 Fair enough, I stand corrected. The site hasn't been updated in about a year, so I figured it was dead. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -thisisnotmyusername · 2018-08-05 13:02 Liberty is a nazi and white supremacist and alt-right word? This is the dumbest post I've seen in a long time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- poshpotdllr · 2018-08-20 17:27 holy shit fuckoff and die you insect. liberty is evil? wtffffffff. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- darkempath · 2018-08-21 08:16 No liberty isn't evil, it's the way you yanks name fascist organisations and groups "liberty" that's evil. This isn't hard. Anything that yanks name "Liberty" or "Freedom" are almost always right-wing religious projects. For example, the [Christian Liberty Party](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Liberty_Party) is a right wing religious group supporting dominionism and the enforcement of biblical law. Whereas the [American Freedom Party](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Freedom_Party) are a right-wing white nationalist group. You fuckers do it all the time. You think if you call something "liberty" or "freedom" then everyone will instantly agree with you. You're transparent as fuck. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- poshpotdllr · 2018-08-21 11:48 >it's the way you yanks this is why we cant have nice things. if you have some nice code to contribute thats cool but other than that you belong in a german oven. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- darkempath · 2018-08-22 09:23 Uh huh. I demonstrate my point with evidence and reference links, and you spout hyperbole about German ovens. That's why *you* can't have nice things. Enjoy your "liberty"! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- poshpotdllr · 2018-08-22 14:25 >Enjoy your "liberty"! yes. every time i watch idiots like you get knocked the fuck out by liberty minded people who got their world views on freedom and liberty from the real world (fighting nazis); where delusional assholes who attack people for loving freedom and liberty and liken them to fascists and nazis will have a very real nazi experience. youre a pile of dirt and i am a bulldozer. youre a cookie in my german oven. :)
