From Big Data to Cloud Computing to AI; what do you think is next? I predict the next trend; Disappointment Computing. Where the next tech hype bubble will be as nonsensical and idiotic as the last. Thoughts? Opinions? On a tangent, when our autonomous robot friends come to market; I wonder...

There is no RedHat of FreeBSD (and there can't be). The market is saturated with Redhat shops. People need someone to call if something fscks up.

Support for corporate controlled languages more or less need to be sponsored by the corporations themselves; C# (Microsoft), Java (Oracle), Swift (Apple), etc. Some people have attempted to port Java and Swift to FreeBSD, then gave up due to the amount of work involved. Community controlled...

Read this first, then this. Ignore all the bikeshedding; learn the concepts.

And what's awesome about Jails is that it means exactly one thing; and it does that one thing very well. That philosophy sounds so familiar...

Orchestration is one function of Infrastructure-as-code. Something Docker is terribly bad at.

With our new Jail Artificial Intelligence Language - JAIL; we can help you invest in groundbreaking solutions to future marketable problems.

I read Netflix uses Linux on the frontend due to lack of OpenJDK support on FreeBSD? No? FreeBSD still does all of the heavy lifting on the internet, however.

Moving the goalpost now huh? They switched to Linux for its driver support. This was explicitly stated on their forums. Besides, Ansibles replaces Docker/Kubernetes for orchestration related tasks. We don't have to switch to an entirely different tool. With Jail Native Computing, companies...

If you want secure containment of applications or in-house services for your customers in production; you should be using FreeBSD. It's one differentiating and practical reason to switch to it. I have yet to see Docker used in production at scale for any web facing service. "On my laptop" simply...

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnYWfVPT5aI A masterpiece, if you will. Song always gets me amped.

You can't make this s**t up. Cross-platform in the Linux community means, between Ubuntu, RHEL, Oracle Linux, SLES, etc. It's all the same s**t. It's hilariously stupid. Ugh. lol

Again, this is all about compliance due to the fact that Linux has more market share and influence in the enterprise. I'm talking about the technology itself. Someone can replace all of this (which is really just a management layer) with bastilleBSD and Ansible. Docker is not (or at least a...

You misunderstand. Jails is Unix Containers. The very concept came from FreeBSD. It is the de facto model for secure process isolation -> this is the design constraint. This isn't something you can just tack on afterwards. cgroups and namespaces are not containers. It's resource...

it's 🔨 time

There is no argument for a viral, commie license.

Once FreeBSD gets performant WiFi and word gets out a lot of this will change IMO.

Because it is SMF with which Docker borrowed it's ideas from. Before Docker, Solaris had SMF service instances and dependencies that define how applications are constructed. SMF also included a configuration repository (ie. Docker Registry, i'm looking at you); where SMF manifests are stored...

Well, someone did manage to port ZFS to FreeBSD in under a week. Which is a pretty difficult and sensitive task since we're talking storage. With enough dedication and will, it can be done.

This mailing list post here outlines a list of things needed to get a working implementation. Seems like a fun challenge. If I had the C chops; I'd do it myself. Converting rc scripts in the ports tree would probably be a long process too.
