+1 with a caveat. I do use FreeBSD only to store the data at work. OpenBSD for everything else although I do have a file server at home running DF. I would wage $100 that over 50% of FreeBSD users (not counting JunoOS and similar) have the same reasons like you and me. Makes you wonder what...

I read the paper. While the paper is clever there is nothing magical about the results. It is pretty straightforward pattern mining with natural language processing used to analyse hospital charts filled by nurses (the ones filled by doctors are useless as their only purpose is to do coding to...

"Research (in support of university sponsored research)" makes no sense at all. Either one does OS research and uses one of BSDs for that (IIRC the last truly academic paper written based on the research done on BSDs is McKusick, Marshall Kirk; Ganger, Gregory R. (1999). "Soft Updates: A...

Dillo is work of a single Chilean software engineer Jorge Arellano Cid. It started 1999 and never gained any traction. He stopped the work on multiple occasions trying to get some money out of commercial users. He never succeeded. The browser was barely usable in 1999 let alone now. It just...

Chromium for me due to the good works of Google guys Neil Provost (former OpenBSD developer from his Ph.D. student days at the University of Michigan) and Adam Langley https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=152871660307018&w=2 Adam Langley blog is good read https://www.imperialviolet.org/ Now...

That is NOT what cross-compiling should be used for! Cross compiling should be only used by developers to port OS to the new architectures. If an arch is not self-hosting it is not usable by a general public. Cross-compiling BS have effectively put the last nail in the coffin of NetBSD. Due to...

I am super interested in this thread. Jimlad could you please post machine specifications including amount of RAM and if you are using ECC RAM? Also please post dmesg. Please do the same of the original machine where the ZFS pool is created. I am guessing original machine was trashed. Please...

I used to like it because of this but ever since FreeBSD became VirginOS I moved onto CHAD UNIX.

You are not serious :) This is what we call in U.S. of A an average desktop machine root@lov1$ free -h total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 754G 411G 190G 324M 151G 338G Swap: 4.0G 52M...

Yes it does! Please call your Oracle sale rep for Solaris 11 pricing.

Am I suppose to believe that will be available to unpaid customers? Native encryption is one of many reasons people are still paying for more advanced Oracle version of ZFS.

I beg to differ. I think that the most economically attractive option is Infiniband Adapter PCI Express Card like this one for $22. https://www.ebay.com/p/Mellanox-Mhqh19-xtc-ConnectX-VPI-Infiniband-Adapter-PCI-Express-Card/1201734446?iid=123058812141 Unfortunately due to the legacy support I...

For those who are curious interesting discussion started by truly yours. This is the original security advisory https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=3DCVE-2018-8897 and this is the comment I was able to get out of Mike Larkin of OpenBSD (not affected)...

@admins This is probably got point to fork the thread as the previous and this message have nothing to do with Void Linux. TL:TW but in short the answer to your question about advantages of PF over IPFW is yes and no:) Not quite what you wanted to hear. PF is the native package filter of the...

Depends on your risk averse level. Don't get me wrong there are people running ISP businesses of FreeBSD. Your lost me when you start taking about virtual machines and perimeter firewall. Virtual machines including OpenBSD's vmm and security are mutually exclusive concepts.

I would take slow over buggy, incorrect, full of security holes, and mostly undocumented (or inadequately documented) any day or night. I know FreeBSD is never going to use LibreSSL, vanilla OpenSSH, or God forbid updated version of PF due to the bad blood between the camps and I am at peace...

Are you going to Summer camp this year or we will have to babysit you again?

Exaggerated or not I am coming to the funeral.

If you install XFS on the top of the Logical Volume Manager (LVM2 to be precise as LVM1 is no longer used) you can take snapshots too. However those snapshots are neither efficient and nor very useful. ZFS is much more than version control system built into the file system. What is the use of...

Disclaimer: I do use FreeBSD at work but I have not run FreeBSD desktop since the Spring of 2007. However I have been using OpenBSD exclusively on all my laptops and desktops for the past 12 years. I am familiar with DragonFly BSD desktop as well as major Linux distributions (Red Hat, Ubuntu)...
