    Having to manually update loader is odd compared to every other OS I've used. While that tool is cool, I'm still curious how it compares to a more-generic rsync check on EFI. I'm not a fan of bootcode, sectors, and etc on MBR/Legacy set-ups...

    Sorry bad of me to not give the error. Ive not used freebsd for years. Are ports (make install clean) not the preferred method anymore? I tried pkg install rslsync but after it mentioned something about a truncated package it gave up Will...

    I wouldn't personally either, but OTOH, VMs are a thing that most computers can handle these days, so at least people can walk through the process on that if they feel compelled to learn how to do it. But, personally, I can't say that I've ever...

    You were right? Doesn't sound like it. FreeBSD hasn't adopted any of your ideas. This suggests you could be wrong.

    That was a clear question. I simply suspect you are a little bit inexperienced and can't project the needs of others over their own use-cases. That's fine, you aren't alone, the internet is filled with this.

    I will repeat the question. What way do you feel the project should go if people have a different view of what 'forward' represents? Your definition of 'forward'? You have to consider that is equally unlikely as anyone elses. You feel a risky...

    kpedersen replied to the thread For "knowledgeable people".
    Your view of what 'forward' is may differ to another person's view of 'forward'. What do you say to that? What direction would the project go in that case? A 'junior' FreeBSD member could well be someone who has dealt with UNIX/Linux for decades...

    kpedersen replied to the thread For "knowledgeable people".
    Could it actually be that you simply disagreed with the knowledgable people (and still do)? A random 3rd party port doesn't seem to suggest a shift in people's viewpoints here. I doubt anyone else even knows that port exists because they don't...

    Tolerant? I don't think any a-technical audience cares about whatever people do with their system components if it has no substantial explanation. I might do it if a secure boot vulnerability appears.

    Older needs to be bigger and are slower to process for getting the same security as the newer. The difference are the algorithms. In spite of it, RSA is still used, perhaps most used.
