> SMB is a nightmare to set up if your host isn’t running Windows. It's very easy on illumos based systems due the integrated SMB/CIFS service.

Or if you'd prefer not to contribute to linux monoculturalization, FreeBSD is available in addition to the other BSD variants and even illumos-based systems.

Unless you are running SUN CoolThreads(tm) servers!

> Or you know... just use Linux ...where namespaces provide excellent technology for hiding malware making linux one of the best platforms to turn into a evil host.

I've even seen namespaces used for hiding malicious software in Ubuntu systems too.

It is possible, yes, but I would prefer to have full linux-free support for production use. There is on-going work for FreeBSD Cuda, though[0]. Just have to wait and see. [0] https://www.freebsd.org/status/report-2024-0

Most of our server infrastructure runs on illumos at $work. SmartOS/Triton handles our "cloud" and OmniOS runs our storage. The linux monoculture problem luckily can still be handled with zones and bhyve, and I do trust illum

So the capability-based security framework is not missing unlike your original statement?

Linux monoculturalization is not great news. We should deploy e.g. *BSD and illumos as well to prevent having all eggs in one basket.

> How hard is it to emulate linux system calls? FreeBSD has linuxulator and illumos comes with lx-zones that allow running some native linux binaries inside a "container". No idea why Apple didn't go for similar option.

I use Vivaldi[1]. Also has built-in ad-blocker although I'm not sure how good it is compared to Ublock or others. [1] https://vivaldi.com/

It really is a tragedy that git monoculture is winning over Mercurial, Fossil and other better designed alternatives. Don't even have a nice github-like service for Mercurial anymore as Bitbucket decided to give up.

I am not a jazz musician. I can't generate their music, all the nuances, the improvisation or the feeling... in other words the human factor of their craft 1 to 1 with a press of a button.
54.
by NexRebular 1y ago
But what's the point of spending time and thought for music prompted by others? What I can generate sounds exactly as good and has the exact same value...

by NexRebular 1y ago
But why would I ever want to listen something generated by someone else when I can just generate infinite amount of the same stuff myself?

They should make it easier to download the songs. There's so much music that could be used commercially instead of expensive licensing. Someone could even set up a venture to record era-appropriate AI music to a cassette or vinyl and s

Nebula has NAT punching as well[1]. Or does Tailscale do even more magic on it? [1] https://nebula.defined.net/docs/config/punchy/

Maybe Nebula? You can do one yaml config file with all the certificates and firewall rules making it easy to script device provisioning too.
