#openBSD runs servers and computers at #banks and other high-reliability-requirement institutions.

It gave rise to #openSSH and #libreSSL which I believe windows 10 uses to improve your parents' security online.

#ada was #DOD developed for defence application and now runs everything from #missiles to #railway signalling networks to #autopilots

The same is also true for #freeRTOS and #RTEMS which drive rockets into space. There are many #openSource programs involved in rocketry at the highest levels, both civil and martial.

Perhaps most importantly to parents, these are things you can exploit freely, a torch passed to you by others, free as in speech, a tool to better command whatever hardware you elect to use.

I hope you succeed in providing some food for thought about different ways to achieve success ;)
