Busybox is GNU. The fact that FSF doesn't own it is immaterial. I developed

Thanks for the link to that - brilliant talk. I've always thought that

Can you block ads on the firewall? On OpenBSD's pf firewall config
file this pretty much wipes out all ads on youtube.

Hi all,
This was discussed on the devuan-offtopic IRC channel, so I watched the
