    I’d say since the first full year of him living in an embassy ended, we can’t be justified to call him a scumbag.

    Other than that - his sense of humor in the NetBSD fortune files and other traces in the Internet maybe sucks, but he’s a better role model than Snowden (whose life is somehow much easier, which is suspicious really).

      Why would he be a better role model than Snowden?

        Because unlike Snowden you can somewhat trace him before the big story which made him known, and that trace is connected with, as I said, NetBSD and cypherpunk culture, the good stuff.

        While Snowden is some messiah which came out of nowhere and is still free and well. It’s just suspicious for me.
