A really cool project for home use or small business is to setup a home router/firewall. This is a good example of Linux/FreeBSD being used for another purpose besides just an operating system.. It requires a computer that is 64 bit and has two network cards. You can install to a machine with one nic if you only want to use it for DNS filtering. I think I would look into opnsense first.

The Linux Kernel has been keeping the amount of seconds saved as a signed 32bit integer sense January 1st, 1970. the maximum positive value for a signed 32bit int = 2,147,483,647
So once that number is hit within the kernel it will roll back to -2,147,483,647 value, this has been known about and people have been trying their best to fix this however it hasn't been solved yet. There's the implementation of 64bit integers to store this value, but the kernel is so big and extensive there could be any number of thousands of resources that may depend on that being the datatype it is.

Latest Kali Linux features an Undercover Windows 10 theme
The article I found explains how the latest Kali Linux distro comes with a Windows 10 theme. Developers integrated the theme into Kali to make the interface look and feel like Windows 10, while still remaining Kali Linux of course. To switch to the Windows 10 theme in the new Kali Linux, open up the terminal window and run; kali-undercover. This command toggles the Windows 10 theme on and off as needed.

With Windows 7 support going out the "window", South Korea is converting 3.3 million to Linux because it would cost $655 million to upgrade to Windows 10.

With Windows 7 finally hitting official EoL, the South Korean government is seriously looking at their options for operating systems. Back in the early 2000s, Windows really seemed the only choice that made sense for most government use, but with the progress Linux has made in recent years, South Korean officials have decided to start making a switch. The South Korean Ministry of Strategy and Planning announced that it was "exploring moving most of its approximately 3.3 million Windows computers to Linux." So why the change of heart? Well, it's mostly about the cost. Officials said it would cost around $780 billion Won, or $655 million U.S.. "Eventually, by 2026, most civil servants will use a single Windows-powered laptop. On that system, Windows will continue to be used for internal work, while Linux will be used as a virtual desktop via a Linux-powered cloud server." While Windows has maintained a commanding market share for decades, that might slowly begin to change now.
EDIT: Despite this technically already being posted, I don't care enough to change my post.
