This Isn't a Battle

@tgeusch Exactly.

[ricardo@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@stefano I really wonder *where* Yorick interacted with those alleged BSD users ... Twitter?, Reddit? 🙈

[stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@ricardo I think discord.

@stefano
Stefano, this person is maybe a the bigger FreeBSD hater from many years...

@pinkopanterata yes, I've encountered this page in the past

@stefano I'm glad for you that you haven't had damaging encounters with toxic people in the FreeBSD community or their enablers.

@stefano I had a great conversation the other day with some FreeBSD folks about how to position it competitively when the user believes they need k8s instead.
Sure, plenty of k8s flame was thrown, but at the end we agreed that for the user’s particular needs (some workloads were Linux only codebases, multi-cloud deployment not cost-optimized) k8s was really a better choice than nomad+jails or a custom orchestration setup.

@josephholsten exactly. A couple of days ago I proposed to a client a new virtualization server (actually three). It will be powered by Proxmox as the client needs a management interface and is moving some manually created KVM qcow2 files.
I'll probably propose bhyve when Sylve will be ready but, for now, their problem will be solved by using Proxmox. And I'm happy it will, and I'm happy to do it.

@pauamma oh, I have. I never said that there are no toxic people in the BSD community. There are. But the majority is composed of great people, all around the world.
So I'd not say it's a toxic community because of some bad people. Even if toxicity should never be a part (even if small) of a healthy community.

@stefano @ricardo the article mentioned the FreeBSD subreddit and The FreeBSD Forums.

Yorick Peterse shared his post in the sub, where it was very well-received. Pictured: insights that are not visible to the public (I very rarely share such things, doing so seems harmless on this occasion).

No mention of Discord, Twitter, or X.

Also pictured: the wiki for FreeBSD Discord very recently cautioned that the FreeBSD Community Code of Conduct can not be enforced. I do not imagine that this caution relates to any recent misconduct there …
