My English is not too good. Yet, in most places it helps. Here, no. I ask for free webhosting and they answer me about webhosting using free software. It would be a lot worse to point out their stupidity that they base their answers on an advert and that they have never audited those systems.

And the more I think about it, more stupidity arises. What should I care if the virtual machine uses Trisquel, Debian or Windows when the best I can get is a shell? How about the host OS? How about the controller? How about the BIOS, network cards, switches, hubs and routers? This is the same as I use this detergent because the pope approves, this toilet cleaner because it is kosher or this pig hair brush because it is halal.

Open/free software used to have a meaning.

But now open wifi means I need to buy a device from a guy that is kosher, halal and sanctified in this church of whatever and not a way to hook up to the Internet without entering a password.
