I believe it stands for Free/Libre Open Source Software. I think the idea is to explicitly indicate both free as in beer and free as in speech. However, to me it just sounds like throwing in a romance term for the sake of it. But maybe I’m just ill versed on the whole free/libre divide?

Lambda@lemmy.cato Data Is Beautiful@lemmy.ml•People overestimate the percentage of immigrants in their country2·7 months agoInteresting that Canada wasn’t included (at about 20%). Wonder how/why they picked those countries.
Wait until you learn about the shell specific /dev “files” like /dev/udp and /dev/tcp (which can send/recv IP traffic as if from a file)!
I think self hosting the proxy with the services at hobbyist scale mitigates most of the security risks. The single point of failure risk is another matter. I once had to effectively reverse-hack my services by uploading a Jenkins test job through an existing java project to regain access. Ever since then, I maintain a separate ddns address that’s just used for emergency ssh access.
