    @stefano This is indeed a great post. Refreshing to read - the author didn't distro-bash but instead highlighted how needs were met.I have been leaning toward #FreeBSD after 20 years on #Debian, which has a special place in my heart. However, FreeBSD's *consistency*, elegant design, and better documentation are driving factors and I just can't look away. Over these two decades, Linux has definitely changed. It's no longer what it once was: a #Unix clone. It's evolved into its own thing. Software does that and that's OK. But a lot of the changes or "improvements" have been needlessly reinventing the wheel with a worsening user experience and convoluted results. The audio subsystems (ALSA -> PulseAudio -> Pipewire and of course the mess that is/was JACK) and #SystemD are two big examples.On SystemD, I don't disagree that Linux needed a modern init system. SystemD is faster, but from a human perspective it's worse. I am now typing *more* characters to manage services. Is there a reason why it couldn't be designed to manage services like:> $SERVICE start/stop/restartInstead, we are left with:> systemctl $SERVICE start/stop/restartBut I digress.#TBT I fell in love with FreeBSD when I first started my Linux journey in the mid-2000s, but only dabbled in it as it was never in any production environment I managed.I have a FreeBSD VM sitting in my lab somewhere but due to other factors rarely do I get to it. I'm thinking it's time I grab a spare laptop, load it up, and use it as a daily driver to really force myself to learn it.

    PG&E outage for all of Sunnyvale, UPS resources kept the home office and homelab online most of the hours. In the interim via LTE, decided to resume efforts on spec'ing the latest network refresh.Big decisions; mostly around scale model design principles, some blandness re: OFED drivers and SPDK version parity for specific NIC/DPU SKUs, and analysis paralysis when focusing on critical nerdatorium protocol support.Otherwise to say... I'm leaning towards additional Bluefield DPUs, where offload options are more important than bandwidth parity for production port speeds (also lower total port count using 4x25 breakouts), and there's no sense in paying more per unit for a CX6 25G vs BF2 25G... so... yep.#networking #homelab #mellanox #nvidia #dpu #zfs #distributedsystems #ai #hpc
