Well there was that time you guys paid that absolute nutjob to write a 60,000 line of code disaster Wireguard client. Which you then shipped to customers and tried to force-commit to the FreeBSD project because you wanted a marketing advantage

Your behavior in this thread and this comment especially reflect poorly on you and your company. You've come swinging with something irrelevant to the conversation at hand. I'd never heard of this company, but I'll keep this in mind for the future, and I will perform similar espionage to what you've done.

Weird flex of a comment after y'all got dragged (deservedly) for hiring Matthew Macy. But I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree

yes, I contracted with Matt Macy, and I'd do it again, but he's well-employed now.

Funny how you didn't complain about his current employment at AWS, or his previous work at iX Systems (trueNAS, primarily responsible for the port of ZFS on Linux to FreeBSD) or the fact that the whole epoch based reclamation in the FreeBSD kernel is based on his work.

I'm sure the LKML will enjoy his commits just as much as FreeBSD did

▲

yes, I'm sure that FreeBSD actually does enjoy all of his work on OpenZFS and epoch-based reclamation.

No wonder y'all are pivoting to Linux I suppose :)

Also you should stop editing your comments after they're replied to. It makes it awfully confusing

		We already have a linux-based product (TNSR). Bringing that tech stack to a firewall is a logical move.
