    🤔 Question: what would you do if you want to release an open source project, but not want to have it feed the AI machine? It is clear that I am not the only one struggling with this. Curious if we can come up with creative ways to reward humans and grant them access, while at the same time stopping the AI overlords. Suggestions or ideas? #OpenSource #NoAI

    Question to those that contribute to #OpenBSD - what is the best way to submit a small non-impacting change? For example: a script contains a comment line that is there to simply disable an echo statement. Most likely as a way of debugging its working during the creation and testing of the script. Where and how would you bring this up? Is this for misc@openbsd.org or is there a better place?

    Regular expressions are very powerful, yet can be tricky to create. Would you like to see a set of &quot;challenges&quot; that we complete and learn from together? Conditions: - No outside help (websites, AI, local tools) - No peeking in the answers - We have to decide on a single tool that works on #Linux and #BSD using the same regex engine #regex #regularexpressions
