Reddit? The cat /dev/random | strings of the internet?

Let's see, I wish them all the luck.

Sorry for the off-topic, but reddit is actually one of the sanest places out there. It has exciting communities of aerospace engineers, professional historians, amateur archaeologists, philosophers and fossil hunters. Some subreddits host discussions on ham radio, geopolitics, personal retirement and professional investment strategies, movies, sailing, physics and what not... There are whole subreddits dedicated to, say, art, statistics, data visualization or problems that could happen with your car, local social clubs, mechanical keyboards and those who cherish long forgotten gravures depicting old towns. There is lots of inspiring and quality content on rocket engine tests, space flight and exploration and the history of computers. This is not to mention the daily dose of humor delivered via endless subreddits, such as r/creepy, r/evilbuildings, r/thalassophobia or r/ShowerThoughts. Amazing people.

You are right, there are worse places. Maybe I forgot the smiley?

I sometimes view discussions on Reddit, though I don't participate. There are some good threads there, but there's a lot of noise to filter through. Always have to be mindful of bad info there. Kind of the opposite of this forum. If I see something here I can pretty much assume it's good info. Over there you have to substantiate things before accepting them as correct. I think it's one of if not the biggest public forum and people can be pretty careless there.

Anyway, not much info so far but a link to an archived thread. Would like to see more about it.

(I won't fight the misguided XenForo auto-formatting feature this time. Ask forum admin to disable that trash if you don't like it.)

That heavily depends on a particular subreddit, /r/freebsd is usually awful.

How did you get it working on FreeBSD..? There are no real resources on this.

By the way, how is resource usage?

Looking at those two captures, I am left with Enlightenment of the great Rasterman.
