   And with all that beauty, FreeBSD is not something I would [nowdays] look into as base OS for hosting my services and products. It means something, probably something about humans.

   it would be "interesting" to see such production where DB can be restarted [by autoupdates] on it's own. Should be fine for personal stuff of course.

   I'm not sure what is evangelical here using FreeBSD in your reply, can you highlight? If its tweaking, then im trying to remember any kind of tweaking of the system beyond sysctls that I'd practically need ..cannot much. Jails pro

   thanks, but that seems to be passing tests, like QA, not benchmarking for performance, do I misread it?

   yep, it's there. Seems to be bit unstable, I've noticed glitches couple of times, but still, great step forward!

   it's the common curse for emulators - Cygwin, Wine, WSL1 - subset of features of supported and not always right/can be done right. And you always chasing the origin with a lot of efforts. I highly doubt things like mounting filesy

    I was trying to produce good example on differences in reading "stable system" on FreeBSD vs Linux worlds, when definition on what is "system" differs. No anything specific I have to put against Firefox or any other appl

    you are right and I agree with you on fast learning path, knowledge and being smart in general. The original point though, it all started with > It’s very easy to be minimalistic when you’re doing very little. Still makes sense even for

    the secret sauce here is that "ports collection/packages collection" aka anything useful beyond service NAT gateway/network router is not a system! from the docs: > FreeBSD is bundled with a rich collection of system

    I have internal (happens just for me, in my head) bet that recent Postgres 15 won't be even benchmarked on FreeBSD by any meaningful vendor. By vendor here I refer to companies like Percona, 2ndQuadrant, EnterpriseDB, Greenplum and&#x2

    Q1: what's your impression/general thoughts on immutable OSes? To name a few - Bottlerocket, Flatcar and Talos Linux, Fedora Silverblue and Android? Q2: a bit different, but similar as the end goal - immutable infrastructure where

    If you need fresh ears/someone to practice on - I'm all yours. I'm not ready to discuss usage on desktop - in my opinion it even more useless than Linux, but on server side, for web services related projects I'm fine. My

    I guess that's part of "adaptation" and for humans probably not a bit deal But I feel that would be the top of the iceberg - bottom part would be - how much of other tooling, say Ansible will fail? Homegrown scripts will fail

    Do I understand it right that taskset you need to cover with computer is quite static and not that much focused on collaboration with others? For example - other team members have daily stand up in Slack's huddle, with screen sharing a

    One's needs are much different from other one's needs. Not blaming your setup is bad for your needs, but I'm pessimistic on ideals of 700 days uptime and not changing things for 16 years. Sign of stagnation for me. My needs i

    I'm honestly in much doubts here. To make it proper reply it must be lengthy, will try to highlight at least several points and keep it short. * finding FreeBSD guys, who probably the best match here is somewhat puzzle on its own * hig

    Not related to OpenBSD itself, more for "minimalistic" approach - screenshots with irssi were popular like 25 or 20 years ago. I see kinda nothing new here, just fly stuck in amber. Has minimalistic meant to be "limited&quot

    My first one would be "can I hire any reasonable sysadmin for that at all?" Among others - is it supported by any hosting vendor or I'll be forced to tinker with it myself without even cloud-init tooling?

    Answering for myself: Had short discussion with couple of friends more familiar with podman vs docker, they highlighted the case when you need to give access to docker socket (say for building images) or for other needs to someone who is no

    I see such suggestions here and there, but after quick redditing I've got impression podman brings more chores being rootless and daemonless. I couldn't justify usage of it for myself.

    For growing FS, with regular files, I'm not feeling nervous. I was at the beginning like 15 years ago, but both XFS/Ext4/BTRFS works fine. As side note, not nervous when resizing NTFS in Windows, even for shrinking (still re

    Short answer would be: sole solo developer experience (DX). Longer answer: avoiding infrastructure setup - for those who has infrastructure it makes no sense, for those who knows how to run things in Docker and not need much beyond it - eli

    My google-fu can be quite bad, but so far I don't know way to search in Vim with fixed strings, not with regex - quite often I do want just to copypaste some string and not to bother on escaping dots or any other chars. Dumb simple sea
