Don't forget that you could feasibly use a 280W 64-core processor to replace a dual-socket 2x205W 2x28-core Intel box with 8 cores to spare. Obviously, there will be performance deltas based on specific use cases, but this should help

And funny enough, it's now considered crazy to do a hardware startup, even if staffed up with industry vets. The reaction to Oxide is funny to watch, especially.

A qualified generalist ops admin should be productive on any modern UNIX or UNIX-like within a couple weeks. Figuring out how the guy last year set up FreeBSD consists of similar effort and process as figuring out how the guy last year set

Jargon that builds on intuition can be its own problem. Jargon, by its very definition, has explicit technical meaning in a specific domain. Intuition in words is based on vernacular usage. It is vanishingly unlikely that the vernacular usa

I can't answer the question well, but I think the opposite is just as valid a question: What does a daemon buy you in practice? Why do you need to run the Docker daemon if it is possible (as appears so from podman's existence) to

When Oracle was born, there weren't many alternatives for a high-performance and production-ready RDBMS. For a long time, Oracle was technically superior to most/all other options. That is less true now. On the other side, if you
