  • my non-conforming configuration isn’t recognized by the majority of the network

    This could be a case of nodes running outdated software, the current standard protocols can handle any unknown configuration just fine. These are a source of a lot of holes and vulnerabilities that can pose a serious risk, they should be updated as soon as possible. If you have to keep outdated systems in your network e.g. running on legacy hardware, or make the ocasional connection, you’ll have to monitor them and isolate them from your critical infrastructure, at least with a good firewall and a strict configuration when possible.


  • I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as nonbinary, is in fact, UNG/nonbinary, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, UNG plus nonbinary. Nonbinary is not an operating gender unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning UNG system made useful by the UNG corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full gender as defined by POSIX.

    *UNG -> UNG’s Not (a) Gender


  • If it doesn’t respect the Four Essential Freedoms of Free Gender it is not Free and Open Source Gender.

    -The freedom to use the gender as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).

    -The freedom to study how the gender works, and change it so it does behave as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

    -The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).

    -The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.





  • Take this with a pinch of salt, I’m not a programmer just a nerd that likes those kind of things. I tried them years ago first swift (I think it was in version 2) and a couple years later rust, and while both are great I found swift makes it easier to write clear code you’re gonna understand and like when you come back to it. Rust was better I think with concurrency (at the time), you’ll catch everything at compile time, but they talk about interoperability with c++, so this safety will be lost since most code interfacing with c++ will be unsafe.
