So what if it is still functionally single threaded? Who gives a fuck for your better performance if the FreeBSD perimeter firewall is full of zero-day exploits? If I need to push packets 40 or 100 Gigabit per per second I will not be using FreeBSD or any OS for that mater anyway. Passing...

+1 BSDs should have never abandoned PCC (Stephen Johnson's Portable C Compiler) as a system only C serial compiler in favor of GCC. What people do with ports is different thing.

Thankfully these days sources trees are public so anyone can decide for herself/himself what is the truth. I will repeat FreeBSD version of PF is ancient and obsolete and you guys fought many holy wars on freebsd-pf mailing list over that. While I concur that PF code is not meant to be as...

nvi is not the same as vim. http://galexander.org/vim_sucks.html FreeBSD version of PF is 6-7 year old. PF was more or less rewritten in the mean time. Obsolete syntax of FreeBSD version is the least of problems. Peter regularly updates his PF notes (the next 4th edition of The book of PF)for...

Garbage! The best pF firewall builder is nvi editor.

FreeBSD is volunteers driven project. Why didn't you test? If most of those volunteers who care or are paid to work on FreeBSD use MACs as daily drivers it is very likely that they consider NVidia binary blobs irrelevant for the purpose of the release of the server OS. I am a big believer in US...

I upgraded another 6 production servers and dozen jail (iocell used for provisioning) instances after experiencing no problems for 48h in production with the first upgraded server reported above. So far things look good. Two of the most recently upgraded file servers have multiple ZFS pools...

I just upgraded a production server without a glitch. My hunch is that support for Pentium 4 was removed from the kernel. Why don't you try NetBSD i386 branch. Maybe they still have the support for such ancient hardware. What are you doing with it anyway?

pFsense is not FreeBSD. It is an appliance which was in the past built on the top of FreeBSD. They also used to have their own forum.

I am not following your question. Python is not the part of FreeBSD (as it is used for/as a main system scripting language on RHEL). Both branches 2.7.xxx and 3.6.xxx in the ports tree are up to date just like packages. I subscribed to a point of view that Python 2 and Python 3 are two different...

If you are indeed professional as you claim please act like a one and just ride into the sunset. If Xubuntu or Windows works for you great. It is now clear that all BSDs and their users suck and are not worth of your time. @admins Posts and users like this lady/gentleman might be amusing to...

Could you please install Skype app on your smart phone and drop this useless discussion?

True! I do run MATLAB for living. I also use proprietary Intel compilers and GPU drivers to run CUDA (Deep learning). Very true! Users ultimately care about their applications not so much about underlining OS. I have used computers running Windows on few occasions since its inception in...

"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Yes! https://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/blob/b7910865ff18fc68fa4af19f7c7ad1b021a346be:/sys/vfs/hammer2/DESIGN However, currently DF uses Linux LUKS block device encryption specification. BSD licensesed native implementation of TrueCrypt is also available.

With the exception of ALTQ which was replaced by a native queueing discipline many releases ago I can't think of a single thing besides soft-updates which came out of FreeBSD proper. http://openbsd.das.ufsc.br/faq/pf/queueing.html And by the way ALTQ was always semi-broken on FreeBSD and...

I beg to differ. The last SumOS based on common code with BSD was version 4. Starting from Solaris 2 (aka. SunOS 5) is System V UNIX based of proprietary AT&T code just like AIX and HP UNIX. The difference between Solaris and FreeBSD/Linux is mainly scalability. At this time the only...

KARL, pledge, unveil, W^X, arc4rand, ASLR, pF, OpenSSH, LibreSSL, OpenIKED, OpenNTPD, OpenSMTP, mandoc, ProPolice to name a few :-)

You are wrong. I do run bunch of crap like TensorFlow, Py-Torch for "Deep" learning guys at work but I hate "Deep" learning with a passion as I believe in KISS principle. Deep learning is an attempt to replace clear thinking with black boxes. It does indeed work more often than I would like to...

Actually yes:-) I do run FreeBSD file servers for a premier AI research group at a major research university and I do have a schoolmate (childhood friend) who was for a while in business of putting XXX pictures on line back in Europe before switching to being full time iPhone app developer. We...
