    No. Too busy keeping my eye on the tip jar... XD That is interesting though. I am actually a little surprised. Though I do understand that Monaco is a good candidate for a tax haven.

    anglaro, If you want a splash screen in the VirtualBox FreeBSD VM, the easiest way is to do a clean install with the extended feature EFI enabled in the VM's settings motherboard tab. What's the current FreeBSD installations file system? UFS or ZFS?

    You will need to ask this on a Windows forum. We don't do Windows here. (For that matter, we don't do pfSense either, refer to the forum rules).

    This is really off topic. I know that Belgium in Congo was really bad. I can't speak for other aspects of Che, but helping get Belgium out of Congo was good. Che may have been an idealist to what he did, and it may have gotten Cubans killed for...

    In Italy, it's mandatory to leave a tip for (illegal) parking attendants. I prefer not to delve into the matter further.

    Why tip just for waiters/waitresses and not for nurses for example? In the restaurants I pay for my order not for waiter salary which is owners responsibility.

    I can’t believe a waiter is still living on tips, anywhere nowadays. At least I never met one. Thus, the tipping sounds to me a kind of anachronism.

    I'm probably too poor (i.e English) to understand the funny words. But I clicked "like" anyway ;) In the UK, like many of our customs, they are poor replications of the US. So in many retail jobs, the "tips" aren't allowed to be taken by the...

    When I arrive in my Ferrari Testarossa at a car dealership in Monaco, I always give the car dealer a hundred euros to take care of my car... Just a joke.

    When I was living in Johannesburg, on every open parking there was some guy which you must tip (bribe, actually) to "take care of your car" (read: to not break your car windows or worse). Not a joke 🤷‍♂️

    For the third time: there is no graphic in console for bios boot. That means no splash, no bmp, no png... bios boot cons is text only. AFAIK, if OP wants to hide boot text scrolling with graphic, he'll need to boot using UEFI, and for that he'll...

    If you are booting from bios, you'll probably want in loader.conf kern.vty="vt" hw.vga.textmode="1" As I said, there is no graphics for a bios boot since 14.2, so cons is text only. Just enabling UEFI in VBox on already installed OS will do no...

    Well, this is true for any business. No. A tip is an incentive to provide good service as well as a reward for doing so. Inserting it into the price of the meal would reward poor service, too, and is no longer a tip but the price of the meal.
