What would you do when a project based on open source violates the GPL and refuses to release the source?

For example Nvidia's cumulus project. Debian-based OS for switches.

Interesting read, almost think I should move from PFSense to opnsense which is much more community-friendly?

Thoughts?

With so few of us doing it there has been times were they sit for a day or more. It's a easy job. You get a email and determine is the account is spam or not then approve or deny.

Suggestions on the best way of an automated installer?

I like to pxe boot with a menu to select OS to install. Trying to determine the best way to install baremetal servers. Suggestions on what or how I should do this?

We need another dotcom boom.
I miss the game rooms, arcades,foosball,pinball not to mention the fully stocked bars at the office.

Whatever happened to all that.

So was wondering? Who has worked at a company that provided free Alcohol? One company was data backup provider and vpn provider. We kept a fully stocked bar and it was nice when you got off the phone with that one customer and was able to go sit and have a drink and a smoke to calm down.
The other was a ISP we always had beer in the fridge.

My lock picking kit.

All it took was two bobby pins to open a dead bolt with a lost key.

Took 2 minutes with no experience. Makes you wonder about security.

So who had LR withdraws 😁
