Why I love FreeBSD
A personal reflection on my first encounter with FreeBSD in 2002, how it shaped the way I design and run systems, and why its philosophy, stability, and community still matter to me more than twenty years later.

For me, FreeBSD is like vinyl.

It's OK to like it, or love it, and no-one can authoritatively tell you that you're wrong to do so.
I mean, they can tell you that you're wrong, but ultimately: it's about what pleases the listener.
I mean, what pleases the user.

@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe This is an amazing article and reveals things about the OS that make me excited to finally give it a try. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on it.
I've been looking for an operating system with some of the exact things you mentioned, especially the filesystem management and hypervisor. Linux also has some performance or fan issues even now, for me. It seems like this is the way to go for something designed for software development. -

@nethack thank you!
@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe you are encouraged to continue expanding on your thoughts. it'd be cool if you shared more tips or interesting facts about the OS as well. im ready for anything, but id like to know more from a veteran perspective such as yours.

@nethack if you click the "freebsd" tag, you'll find many blog posts about how to do things with FreeBSD (and benchmarks, etc.)

Come comico indubbiamente un fuoriclasse. Come persona probabilmente meno, anche se aver creato Telethon è un bonus a suo favore (qui citavo la reunion con #DeanMartin avvenuta in quell'occasione https://mastodon.uno/@fucinafibonacci/115779836904620380). Ma anche come attore aveva il suo perché. #JerryLewis nasceva 100 anni fa. Re per una notte (1983) - TokyVideo https://www.tokyvideo.com/it/video/re-per-una-notte-1983

Benvenuto Peter, speriamo che te ne torni a casa in fretta... e magari freddo.

@mau @aitech la domanda, per l'umano, nasce sempre da un modo di sentirsi vivere in un mondo quando i profili di mondo che incontra suscitano sorpresa, spaesamento, curiosità... Un fenomeno estraneo a una macchina che, in quanto tale, non ha né mondo né contesto.
La domanda "come mai la mela cade da un albero?" me la faccio perché ho una precompressione pratica e vissuta di cosa significa stare vicino, sopra o sotto un albero, da solo o con altri... A partire da quella domanda, se allestisco un esperimento per trovare una risposta non è l'apparato sperimentale che mi fornisce una risposta ma il mio modo di riflettere sulle eventuali invarianze che il dispositivo allestito mi restituisce.
Esiste una interessante ricerca che mostra come la rimozione delle virgolette, un tempo impiegate nella ricerca sulla IA dai primi ricercatori quando parlavano di "intelligenza" o "apprendimento" ecc..., sia stata una precisa operazione di manipolazione che con la ricerca non aveva nulla a che vedere.
Secondo me è importante, quando scriviamo su un social o generiamo testi destinati a non esperti, che ci si sforzi di non dare per scontati significati nei termini che usiamo e se possibile usare le virgolette in riferimento a termini che pertengono l'umano.
Non sarebbe male tenere sempre presente che, nonostante la fascinazione costruita dalle narrative, quando interagiamo con un calcolatore stiamo interagendo con un insieme di porte logiche gestite dall'algebra di Boole, cioè con dei meccanismi come quelli in figura.
