The average level of certain comments on some platforms is truly worrying. Although English is not my native language, I believe it is quite clear that the first part of the latest blog post talks about my first experience with FreeBSD, in 2002. Yet some people keep saying that it is impossible that “with 64 GB of RAM you cannot use mutt while compiling” and they start with the insults.
I should know better by now, but every time it still makes me smile. 🙂
@stefano What? I play heavily modded Minecraft while compiling stuff on Gentoo. With "only" 32gb RAM. Non-ECC, with ZFS, muahaha.

@stefano mastodon, on average, is as toxic as other platforms as Bluesky and X. I stay here just because it is easier to find real people instead of bots (yes, Bluesky is also plagued with bots), plus it is a really distributed network instead of a closed one (X) or a pretending to be open (Bluesky).
@paride5745 I wasn't talking about Mastodon but yeah, toxic people are toxic everywhere they go.

@stefano Reading ability on some platforms is worrying. At the top of that post it says 10 min read. Whole 10 min worth of words. And there're no "Summarize it with ${MODEL_NAME} buttons". How are you supposed to read it? :)
@anparker True, that's the problem. But, still, that is the very first part of the article and if they reached the "mutt while compiling KDE part", they're already over the introduction.
I - by design - don't put a TL;DR part at the beginning. And, by design, didn't divide this in chapters. It's my love letter to FreeBSD, and people aren't forced to read it 🙂

@stefano i've had issues where i've had to actively manage resources to be able to have fun and compile same time. but that is at least possible

@stefano oh I assumed it was around here, as I didn’t see toxic comments in hacker news, lobsters, and LinkedIn 😅

@stefano my blog allows no comments. My perceived mistakes are forever ignored. :)

@stefano It was pretty clear you were talking about 2002 😹
The difference in the scheduler and general kernel stability was really incredible back then!

@tfb it was! And I was so surprised!

Hah, mine doesn't have interactive comments. If people want to comment, my email address is right there (I get maybe 1–2 blog-related emails per year, and maybe a dozen other spam messages at that address)

What the fuck is wrong with these people@angel Sometimes I think that people have lives full of problems, insecurities, and frustrations, and they vent when they feel they can. Or at least, I hope so. I prefer to think that rather than believe they are ignorant and aggressive.
