Maybe I missed it in the comments but was I the only one to run Wildcat! software for their board? I loved Wildcat!

So depending on your use case, some of you might be very interested in CloudABI. See: https://nuxi.nl to solve some of your issues. Ed is a FreeBSD committer and has been working on solving some of the harder problems relating t

Liability laws are in dire need in the software industry. Security for instance would not be such an abysmal disaster if companies were held liable for the insecure garbage they are pumping out.

by X86BSD 10y ago
Yeah that has always been my understanding as well. Past employers are only allowed to say yes or no to you working there if asked. Where this comes from I don't know. I'm sure there is a law that this common belief comes from.

Have you tested running it on a FreeBSD box with ZFS? It has lz4 compression by default and makes such a great storage solution for PG. You get compression, snapshots, replication (not quite realtime but close), self healing, etc etc in a b

Capabilities? FreeBSD, and other Unix flavors have had caps for decades. No one uses them. Security is useless if no one uses it. Capabilities are too hard, too complex, to manage. Great idea. Horrible implementation.

Sugar. Hands down. Dr. Atkins is right.

I have come to loathe Google. Android is a tire fire mess. It's UI is horrible. And as bad as that is I have google fiber tv and that UI is even worse. Google does NOT get UI. Everything short of gmail that they have tried to make work

Then it's missing in that site. BSDtar was the replacement.

Before the rewrite all the GNU utilities were in the base OS. How large a percentage that was to the rest of the base I couldn't say off the top of my head. But all the GNU utilities were in there as well as the compiler suite which ha

I would, GNU tar and others were rewritten from scratch over the last decade or so. The GNU utilities are no longer in the base system.

Actually they are not. POSIX? Sure. But Linux is notorious for NIH and is incredibly off in the weeds in incompatible and broken ways from the UNIX world. Have you tried porting software written for Linux to another platform??
284.
by X86BSD 10y ago
FreeBSD took great pains to rewrite and replace all of the GNU utilities with BSD licensed ones. So the tools are different.

Curious, I didn't see mention of this, but perhaps someone here knows, is there TRIM support or planned support for bcachefs?

by X86BSD 10y ago
As is the Nintendo Switch.

Most of those are just FreeBSD. Pulling from the FreeBSD tree for their base.

Haha yes! Where the hell do these people learn that?? The other thing that annoys me with ratings in general, specifically places like amazon, is when people pan a perfectly good item because of some third party factor. "Item was great

Tarsnap. It's the best offsite, secure, cloud storage out there.

Well I am very impressed. I had no idea fiber was literally everywhere down there. Kudos to you man for making it work! My wife is from the NCR region of Delhi, I hope you take over bangalore and then Delhi and make a fortune! :)

I'm trying to find out. Oddly enough searching the FreeNAS docs on the website for "docker" returns nothing. I've seen reference to jails mostly regarding running docker and to a lesser extent bhyve. Anyone running runni

by X86BSD 10y ago
Reminds me of the joke, "How do you get docker to be secure? Run it inside a (FreeBSD) jail." Having not looked at it that's my guess what they are doing. Everything related to it is in a jail. Making it secure regardless of

Where are you getting fast Ethernet pipes to stores there?? Having been there I find it hard to believe that infrastructure is there.

by X86BSD 10y ago
Well done iXsystems and FreeNAS developers! You blow the doors literally off everything else.

Yeah I believe Matt forked FreeBSD 4.x to start dragonfly.

Can you clarify "TCP can't move a gigabit per second across the public internet." I have google fiber btw and I have gotten a gb/sec from it.

This is a common fallacy GPL enthusiasts often spew. You can't make BSDL code disappear all you can do is fork it and add or modify to your copy of it. The original is still there.
298.
by X86BSD 10y ago
It's not the point. At least with the BSDL. People who use the BSDL just want people to USE their code. They don't care how. They have no animosity towards private, commercial use of it. NetAPP has supported bsd camps in many ways

LLVM to replace GCC being another prime example.

Can't be for certain but one possible large factor is it reduces diffs from the upstream if you commit as much as you can back upstream. It's a major engineering drag to deal with that.
