Oh wow, that's pretty cool! Thanks for sharing! Another part of my nostalgia with those old workstations (besides the core OS) was the desktop environment, i think CDE or motif or something like that. Something about the look and feel

Yes, you're not at all wrong! However my goal is not to definitively 100% know the exact differences between the BSDs...i merely wanted to seek out a quick/easy starting point (the very high level diffs)...so that i can start *som

Your statement was one of those that made me chuckle because it started as a joke...and then reality set in the more i thought about it, and then it made me feel sad, nervous, etc.

Honestly, i have been wanting to suggest to my leaders that we should go to on-prem for primary, and use cloud only as extra for peak traffic and/or failover, etc...but, the culture where i'm at is so bought into cloud as if it so

I think you stated better what i was trying to babble in another comment here. :-) And you might think it is a conspiracy theory...but the sentiment i'm seeing (obviously a limited data set to only folks i engage with) seems to align s

I think it might be because some folks from the older generation have a sense of entitlement...mostly because they often lived through a glorious period that en masse has been beneficial to them...They expected flying cars, etc...So, now, t

Thank you, this helped alot!

Oh this is a wonderful and succinct summary; thanks!

Thanks! And, wow, do i miss the old X-window workstations...well, i should clarify that i LOVED those (I think they were Sparc?) workstations that ran Solaris or SunOS back in the day! Man, that takes me back some years...but i really loved

Yeah, i knew there was some aspects of decendancy across the different BSDs. And, I mentioned NetBSD for embedded stuff...but really, i *think* its that NetBsd is simply installed on tons of different hardware....so not only embedded....i k

Yeah, thanks that helps! Its the old convenience vs security balancing act :-)

by mxuribe 5mo ago
Have you tried such Openbsd installations vs FreeBSD? I forget the differences between OpenBSD and FreeBSD, so forgive the naivety. (I think NetBSD is more for embedded stuff, and Ghost and Dragonfly are more for conventional desktop use-ca

What you stated is so sad but true, because i could see that happening, and not just in Texas. :-(

Sadly, @scrumper is 100% correct! In many, many areas and gov-levels of the U.S., the incentives have become so perverse that a municipality will spend 10x or 100x to prosecute people instead of spending 1x to fix things in the first place.

Wow, this is a blast from the past! I haven't touched nor done anything on Friendica since like 2014/2015! (Yes, this is one of the grand daddy of the original fediverse social platforms before the name "fediverse" was e

While yeah maybe having this all in a github repo is helpful in a little way to help organize things...I think we should if not stop, at least slow down our collective dumping of so much stuff into the centralized, corporate silos. Then aga

Thanks for sharing this! Every few years, i forget the "why" advantage of IPv6. :-)

But per the instructions, it seems like that if one wants to add your own website, then one needs to add 2 other small websites (that are not on the list already)...so technically it does open things up to those who are not aware of the rep

IANAL but i think Sony would have had to *first* fully accept the terms initially, and then a brick (or many other delivery mechanisms used to convey "notice") with updated terms i guess would be weirdly acceptable...however, othe

I'm in a similar boat...and over the weeks where i have been sending the requested docs/files...Apple reps come back and state that one of docs i sent them was not valid...so i ask them to clarify their "definition" of t

I used to think bootstrap was bloated too...and then i had heard - now, i don't know if its true - that bootstrap was originally intended *ONLY* as an internal prototype building tool, and any bloat did not matter...because expected au

I think XP to a degree was indeed peak Microsoft...in that while yes, XP felt bloated at first, then they streamlined it, and it got better....plus its look and feel felt like such a departure from previous Windows....or maybe because it wa

I acknowledge being hung up on titles. I used to give titles too much attention as a very new person on my very first job...then over the decades, i learned not to get hung up on titles...but i guess my current $dayjob has sooooo many flaws

I'm sorry, nothing personal...but any place that requires 8 years of experience but only gives a title of "junior" is pretty dang close to a sweat shop. On a different note, i do see what you mention about some op excellence

You have great points here! Not only is linux a destination for folks who currently and historically might have used Windows....but beyond linux and the operating system itself, there's a whole massive opportunity for other open source
