I have several Lenovo X220s running FreeBSD and am very happy with them. Inexpensive, good keyboard, sufficiently fast, good battery life, good expandability and availability of replacement parts.

In FreeBSD we have a long history of including metadata in commit messages (bug reference, sponsorship information, reviewer list), and introduced Phabricator for code reviews a while ago. So you can easily find Foundation-sponsored commits

As is often the case it depends on the specifics of the application and on those building a solution. As far as raw performance is concerned FreeBSD performs very well. Netflix gets nearly 100Gbps from storage out the network on their FreeB

I'm sorry this issue fell through the cracks. Feel free to add me (emaste) to the CC on any bsdgrep PRs you raise or encounter.

by emaste 10y ago
The patch in [2] was added a bit over a month ago as a comment in a bug report about the GNU grep in the base system, so I don't think it's a good example of no one caring about bsdgrep bugs. On occasion I search for bsdgrep bugs,

This work is being done in ZFS on Linux but will make its way back into OpenZFS/Illumos and FreeBSD.

Note that the commit linked here is a port of the Illumos Crypto Framework (ICF), which is a dependency but is not the change that actually brings native encryption.

Many different groups in the FreeBSD ecosystem have a lot of interest in some aspects systemd, launchd, etc., and patches exist for several different implementations in various states of completion. At this point though your statement is ju

That used to be the case, but Netflix started building out their own CDN a few years ago and they've migrated away from their legacy providers. Netflix is now serving about a third of US peak time internet traffic from FreeBSD.

See for example http://time.com/3901378/netflix-internet-traffic/ Note that the metric is actually downstream peak time consumer ISP traffic which is a little different than "40% of the Internet," but t

Avery hasn't put much effort into sshuttle for some time - you probably want Brian May's fork, which is now https://github.com/sshuttle/sshuttle In any case, since 2011 sshuttle has supported DNS interception
