    ZFS Downside of ZFS (over BTRFS and in general)

    Fair. But how is this related to ZFS, Btrfs, etc? Completion is something that shells can do depending on configuration. Adapt the one for ZFS to your needs.

    Just install the bash-completion-zfs package.

    Which code editor do you use ?

    vim. I tried others like VSCode but they distract me a lot. I only want to see code and nothing else.

    Is the High Price of RAM a Good Opportunity to Promote FreeBSD?

    Life's too short to be sad about stuff like this. Regret only what you didn't do. Let others chime in on their experience with swap on FreeBSD.

    Is the High Price of RAM a Good Opportunity to Promote FreeBSD?

    When the system begins swapping, having too much swap makes it worse as the system becomes unresponsive. 2GB is the maximum for me. Wish FreeBSD supported Linux's zram to get away with swap partitions. I'm running Debian with OpenZFS on a Raspberry Pi with 8GB RAM using zram with no issues.

    This whole thread is pointless and just disinformation that will pollute any engine search.

    On FreeBSD, with go125 installed, the path should be /usr/local/go125/bin/go

    Other Hello world Golang script

    She-bangs are weird! The only issue is you can't use /usr/bin/env https://lorentz.app/blog-item.html?id=go-shebang TL;DR: /*usr/local/go/bin/go run "$0" "$@"; exit; */ package main import "fmt" func main() { fmt.Println("Hello world") }

    GMKTek Mini PC with Intel N97

    Don't purchase from the GMKTec store. They tell you they take care of VAT. They don't. It's a fucking mess and they don't send an invoice but charge your credit card nonetheless.

    I could reproduce with NFSv4 & ZFS.

    Programming book porno

    This is really obscene. I had to sell or give away mine. And Kindle sucks.

    jails Security audit of jails (39c3) done by Ilja van Sprundel

    There's an argument that this doesn't achieve much: https://isopenbsdsecu.re/mitigations/karl/ Note: I don't condone the above site given the garbage reasons for targeting OpenBSD (not having a CoC and so on).

    Post some hardware porn

    I had the Phenom X3. The urban legend was that they were triple-core because they failed QA for quad-core. And Windows had to patch their OS so it could run on this processor.

    FreeBSD 15 probably will include KDE as DE installtion option

    This is only the login manager, which itself is a fork of SDDM. KDE helped with OpenBSD support: > Improved and fixed support for OpenBSD in multiple places. https://blogs.kde.org/2026/01/03/this-week-in-plasma-new-year-new-accessibility-features/#notable-in-performance--technical

    FreeBSD on only TTY as a Daily Driver

    There was a time I used the tty exclusively, before having a job while at the univ. I don't see myself checking the smartphone everytime. It's the less exciting piece of hardware I have. I prefer checking Whatsapp/Telegram from my laptop.

    ZFS How to un-ZFS-ify a drive?

    You may want to check what util-linux wipefs does or even call it with `wipefs -a -f $DEV` because I remember dd at the beginning not being enough sometimes. =/

    ZFS How to un-ZFS-ify a drive?

    Using CoW filesystems on devices like USB pendrives and SD cards with no wear leveling is a bad idea due to the write amplification. Someone should tell the NomadBSD guys to add this warning.
