I've been amazed by this jam. It's like bigger and better every year (in terms of jams going deeper and deeper). I imagine we're 5 years away of "Make your own OS, language, compil…

I'm surprised seeing improvements in Suspend/Hibernate support. I've used OpenBSD on laptops before and it was _fine_. I thought they primarily target servers. This feels like lapt…

This is a very clever idea. I've toyed with the idea of making a multiple site mystery challenge in the past, a bit like a geo game with real world tagging and drop boxes. Never go…
