   What about the citizens that dont have 'fourth amendment rights' just because they're not US citizens? As far as I know, Tor is not something that 'belongs' to US, nor 'exists' in US soil so it is very int

    While I have no actual knowledge why they made that decision, its not very hard to guess, and the possible answers are around their own staff familiarity with FreeBSD, the pros of having the platform simplified by using single OS (Linux in

    The servers are FreeBSD 9.x. After Facebook acquisition they've tried migrating it all to Linux but quickly discovered that Linux cant cope with that amount of traffic and they decided the FreeBSD is the tool to be used here. That lead

    I second that. At the begining Docker people were mentioning adding FreeBSD Jails support, what seemed to me an awesome thing, a platform independent containerization middleware, but recently they just seemt to forget about it and they&#x27

    Interestingly, the FreeBSD project also started using Phabricator as a code review tool, under reviews.freebsd.org. As of now its only used by committers and developers, but there is work being done to open it for the wide audience.

    I honestly dont think there's any other operating system in the universe that will have the same level of hardware makes support as Windows does, especially when it comes to desktop targeted hardware. You have to be aware that neither

    There's already Linux compability layer in FreeBSD's kernel for years now, allowing you using linux binaries on FreeBSD. Anything in particular you'd be missing when migrating to FreeBSD?

    For all those not familiar with it, FreeBSD[1] is a great Linux alternative, being rock solid, free and open operating system delivering some of the coolest new technologies out there, including out of the box support for ZFS filesystem, aw
