    I'm surprised that not only is there no application firewall for any of the BSDs, there doesn't even seem to be any need for it. There is OpenSnitch, but only for Linux.

    Give Mastodon a threaded view and technically it's the same as reddit, but federated? Usenet, but not just for nerds.

    Postgres actually does have thousands of engineers but it's not easy to notice because they all share the same name. https://www.citusdata.com/blog/2017/04/20/analyzing-postgres...…
