Absolutely agree. A single year of FreeBSD has taught me more than 10 years of Linux about UNIX and by extension made me more proficient with both systems.

freebsd-upgrade has been absolutely fool-proof for me. Mixing ports and pkg is not advisable even though they use the same database since versions are often not in sync. Boot environments on ZFS with beadm provide a brilliant way to protect

In 2010 Jobs promised "We're going to the standards bodies, starting tomorrow, and we're going to make FaceTime an open industry standard." Afaik it didn't happen because of patent issues.

Actually, registration of a limited company formally only requires 1 EUR in Germany since 2008. This 'UG' company will then accumulate 25% of its annual profit until 25,000 EUR is reached, at which point it is transformed into a G

iRedMail is very quick to install and offers a large selection of OS and backends including OpenBSD, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, LDAP, ActiveSync. The only thing it doesn't do automatically is buy an SSL certificate.

It's not unusual to be checked coming from Holland. Then again, police being disrespectful, giving condescending replies, being commandeering and taking advantage of uninformed people is not exactly unheard of. In fact, once an individ

Confusing! The author states: "You may think it's dumb to have open sourced it then [...] even if it's under copyright. [..] So basically, it's open source so people can learn from it. So this is public source code which

When I tried them around spring of this year they did have poorer international peering than others. Should be fine for EU and US tho.

I've got the same router and I'm getting close to 900Mbps. Maybe your client device doesn't support 5Ghz? I'm very happy considering the price and openwrt support.

The problem is that voices or crying babies will be more audible in a noisy environment when using active noise cancelling headphones because they only effectively attenuate low frequencies.

Active noise cancelling headphones are hardly an audiophile's first pick. Almost all NC headphones introduce audible white noise. They are also ineffective at blocking voices in the background. Earplugs are significantly cheaper and mo
