Based on Annatar's profile, he'd like it to work on FreeBSD.

illumos and it’s the programmer’s “Linux only” attitude which irritates me.

I get your sentiment in general but... you're upset because a tool for storing files in IMCP pings isn't available on your OS? Poor you, where else are you going to keep your files!

No, I’m irritated because of the programmer’s attitude, which is quite systemic in programming and has been for a while.

Well, it's not merited, and you're being rude. I'm saying this as someone who references the POSIX standard several times a week to ensure portability. This kind of tool is a toy project and is by its nature highly dependent on non-portable interfaces.

If you’re against GNU and Linux like I am then it is very much merited.

I utterly fail to see how being honest and direct by expressing my irritation is rude and am both insulted and appalled by what I perceive to be the Anglo-Saxon definition of rude hoisted upon me. I could just as easily turn this around and say that your lack of consideration for what is a different value system is just as rude. The entire argument around “rudeness” is nonsense, I’m not at all sorry to write.

Buddy, I hate GNU and Linux as much as you do. More, probably. You and I are on the same side here. You can either continue to attempt to extract yourself from me into a special class of person for which your behavior is supposedly acceptable, or take a good look at yourself and decide to be better in the future.

I’m not doing anything wrong.
