"The BSD folks are writing code fornthe betterment of mankind" Never heard more true words in my life. switched from windows to linux and at the end of june this year switched from linux to OpenBSD and it is just marvelous!
Not just the backend though; FreeBSD has been used as a base for many successful end user products, like PlayStation and Nintendo consoles, not to mention the high amount of FreeBSD and OpenBSD code and tools that are in macOS/NeXTSTEP and all the derivatives like iOS

As a FOSS fan and someone that tried half-a-dozen linux distributions, I am feeling attracted to {Free,Open}BSD because I've heard of the culture around it values a cohesive system, and takes care of providing a central source for (at least) the foundational knowledge (perhaps more, I haven't delved into it). If I manage to switch to a BSD system, I'd gladly pay regularly an organization for keeping the operating system and documentation coherent, cohesive, complete. It saves me a lot of time.
@@aziatork hello, I didn’t make the switch mainly because I had to prioritise work, where I’m using macOS. The organisation I’m talking about is the FreeBSD Foundation: freebsdfoundation.org
"We had a very nice Solaris box with around 30 amatuer sysasmims"...LMFAO. yep hold on tight...As a SUN person myself I would say with that many people in the box, the inherently rock-solid becomes the Tar baby surrounded by quicksand. Fun times.
I'm a linux user(Gentoo and Arch), i thought to move to BSD but the lack of documentation available compared to Arch or even Gentoo is what scares me. For example, in my Gentoo i have everything passing through Tor, all my connections however i don't find the documentation to do this in BSD. Opinions on this ?
It seems as if you can use *BSD for a Tor Relay. :) They are very Network-oriented, among other, different things. :) Why, I'm told that Nintendo uses the *BSD Network Stack to power their Client-side Software that accesses their Servers. :)
On tor project own website there's a step by step guide on ow to do it. It is basically get tor, edit the /etc/login.conf and start the service the default proxy is sock5://127.0.0.1:9050 i did it on openbsd freebsd or netbsd might have slightly differences though.l,
OpenBSD sets my fan to 100% and there's no way to turn it down. I tried every suggestion. Very noisy and thus unpleasant to work with. FreeBSD used to work well on my laptop but 12.1 gives me no sound. Weird. Also tried every solution. So, for the moment I'm back on arch where everything just works.
Unfortunately, linux is being developped very in every aspect. It is getting many bleeding edge features while being unix/linux with very large application base. Kernel has many wonderful capabilities which led to many tools that caused distription in the industry like cgroups, dockers etc. Bsd just can not keep up. It look out og date out of box. Even though some people complaining about it, systemd is a great asset for system admins.
Yes, systemd is actually a good thing, its inspiration Apple's launchd. It integrates with cgroups, dbus, allows user-level (non-root) units, is able to launch services on a wide range of triggers and so on. Its haters seem to forget we are no longer in the 1980s and 1990s.
2010, no remote console, no virtualization? Did he miss speak? AIX had lpar in 1990s, x86 server class systems like ProLiant had RIB then iLO cards, Integrity also had those for hp-ux for remote console, I think hp-ux also had some virtualization as well. Virtualization came around in 1999 in x86, became mainstream by 2004. Xen was there for Linux then KVM came into being by 2008. Unless you deployed your servers on desktop class systems, 2010 was pretty good for remote control/console and very much for virtualization, regardless of the OS you ran.
The BSD license is my least favorite part of the BSD ecosystem. It allows for exploitation and companies with more power to use it over the average user. The GPL forces bad actors to do the bare minimum. I like to point to companies exploiting code like the TCP/IP stack when people say we need fewer regulations on corporations. Hardly, we need stronger, and much more firm regulations on them. There should never be proprietary software.
You can hear every gulp. So, the water's fine, eh? I wonder what the ASMR people are going to make out of the sounds of shameless public swallowing. ;-P
I love reading through Absolute OpenBSD and Absolute FreeBSD. This man makes learning BSD simple.

Thank you for the reply! The FreeBSD folks are really great people!
The man itself, great talks as always!!!
Netflix uses BSD so it's not like they are exactly niche. Desktop yes, but back end, BSD is still a boss.

You're either joking, a troll, or ??? FreeBSD set the benchmark for documentation.

Some famous open source not support native build for bsd ,such as vscode, chromium,webrtc. If work on such project， how can use bsd？？
vscode is in the Freebase ports.
@@SchleimKeim77 yes, but some vscode plugin not support bsd, such as 'ssh remote'
@@jimying4682 just use vi and ssh on bsd. or the ssh, but keep using vscode.
