Man, it’s like the whole Internet decided to take a nap lately. Warm weather in the northern hemisphere does that.
- The Hidden Damage From Waste Data (And How To Deal With It) (via) My answer is more RAMdisks. That’s always my answer for everything, though.
- A replacement for ALTQ.
- Some developer who doesn’t use BSD says it’s not worthwhile. (via) Rather than argue, I’ll just note that the article was linked as “Developer says BSD not worth it” rather than “Interview with man who did PulseAudio” or “What’s happening with systemd”. That may show what people actually care about. Also, see this comment.
I did see this comment, and reading »FreeBSD is all about incorporating other people’s software at this point (ZFS, DTrace, LLVM), and hasn’t really originated a good idea in a decade.«
FreeBSD is the only *BSD with a functional NFSv4 implementation (OS X Lion will ship with NFSv4 support as well IIRC) to name just one feature, so I guess that statement is just FUD as well.
Also I’m glad the BSDs don’t have that NiH syndrome like other OSS projects. What will happen with DTrace and ZFS after Oracle closed the sources is another thing but they’re still some fine pieces of technology.
Just my 2 cent.
