Found Deals and Discounts / Re: Directory Opus 12 - 40% discount

The one thing that prevented me from ever legally buying DOpus is the absurd price. Honestly, its usability advantages when compared to other file managers are not that large.

A fellow bsdforen.de board member is currently working on a major rewrite, introducing even better Windows 10 and FreeBSD support as well as a bunch of crash fixes and, uhm... a change of almost everything. I am confused by the number of changes, honestly. 

Maybe version 10 will be done without any work of my own.

I could imagine that it would be a good starting point for some people who want to try Racket once, even if they hate whisky.

Docker makes me sad. 70s UNIX tools wrapped in a gigantic binary file with a comic-style logo added on top of it, and suddenly it is "the next big thing". Bah, kids today.

Indeed, you cannot voice yourself. That would be ridiculous, wouldn't it?

On freenode, it is easy: You can have voice (+, the flag is "v"), be an operator (@, includes voice, the flag is "o") or a channel owner (which you would know).

the displayed servername is wrong.

-KodeZwerg (September 30, 2018, 08:10 AM)

It is not. chat.freenode.net is the entry point for the various servers in the network named freenode.net.
