BSDcode

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

Jump to: navigation, search

BSDcode is an IRC channel on EFnet where a lot of FreeBSD drama originates.

Many prominent (and not so prominent) FreeBSD developers hang out there, as well as a number of notable scenewhores and similar scum. Once upon a time, it was not keyed, and its mere existence was something to be kept secret, and new people arriving were a source of much drama. Now, it is keyed, with the key occasionally rotating whenever there is a lot of trouble going on in the channel. Once a favorite for trolls looking for information to use against the FreeBSD community, now there is seldom anything particularly special shared in #BSDcode, as far as FreeBSD information goes. It used to be so intense that after nights of arguments on channel, it was not uncommon to see various developers quitting FreeBSD forever. For a while, there was some status associated with being on #BSDcode. Now, it just means you're not cool enough to get in to the real secret FreeBSD cabal channel.
