Shit they exist
The idea of config files is fine, it's the implementation I don't like. I was using NetBSD recently for my senior project and found it fine to use - all the documentation is in one place (well, two - the manpages and netbsd.org). It's when the documentation is nonexistent and you have to search through a million different websites and forum posts to find the one line you have to change - that's what gets me. Linus...

Redox OS 0.7.0
This is what most of the existing open source operating systems are and it is much easier to contribute to those or fork one that does most of what you want. If you are aiming at a POSIX system then there is a fair amount of work but you at least then get a huge amount of already written software that you can run (IIUC Redox is aiming for this but written in Rust). A structure like Qubes OS would make it easier... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
Vulnerabilities in billions of Wi-Fi devices let hackers bypass firewalls
It looks like one of the vulnerabilities involves being able to sneak in a rogue ICMPv6 route advertisement, with rogue DNS entries. It also mentions doing this kind of stuff against NetBSD 7.1, but that's a couple of versions old, so I guess they were concerned about all the random managed access points floating around?

About Installing Ubunto to USB on MBR
I know this is about unbuntu, but I use a BSD distro made to run permanently from a USB. It's called Nomad BSD https://nomadbsd.org/ it's pretty fun. It comes with the XFCE desktop and can run Linux apps. Source: 12 months ago
I2p on Tails OS?
Go to https://nomadbsd.org/ and flash it just like you would with Tails. Its not meant to be a anonymous, private or secure OS, but its very easy to use, based on FreeBSD (which is decently secure already), and should work very well out of the box. Source: over 1 year ago
programming with the public library computer
There is a chance the computers might not allow this, but I have always been curious if this would be a viable option. You could try getting a really cheap flash drive and loading something like NomadBSD or some other linux distro and boot off that. The benefit is you can customize the dev environment to your liking and keep some of your files local on their as well as GitHub. You would also gain some Linux/BSD... Source: almost 2 years ago
