  1. Re:Some of my most reliable servers are FreeBSD... on FreeBSD Project Falls Short of Year End Funding Target By Nearly 50% · · Score: 1

    There's always the option of fixing the port and learning about the software you're working with too...That's one of my favorite parts about FreeBSD, there are few barriers to getting into the code or makefiles if your install is source based.

    I'm not sure what you're talking about...I'm a FreeBSD user, I compile everything, and it doesn't spew things all over the file system. Unlike linux, man hier is essentially enforced.

  3. Re:Never met anyone who uses it. on FreeBSD Project Falls Short of Year End Funding Target By Nearly 50% · · Score: 2

    I use it all the time. I also use Linux variants.

    FreeBSD is really a powerful, well-documented system that brings a lot of stuff to the table that's not possible, not production ready, or simply broken in Linux.

    Off the top of my head: standardized networking commands, ZFS (in kernel), GEOM framework, devd, pf firewall is huge, RAID trim support, lagg (link aggregation/hot failover) and CARP (common address redundancy protocol...share IP for multiple servers).

    Maybe Linux could use FreeBSD's devd...at least it's documented...

    Works great...we even have non-udevd based automount, with custom mount flags...does that still require hacking and a recompile?

    How's pulseaudio working out for you?

  6. A guest account? on ICS-CERT Warns That Infrastructure Switches Have Hard-Coded Account Holes · · Score: 1

    God forbid I have someone come over for dinner and they're unable to login to my infrastructure switches and peruse the configs!

    You're possibly thinking about the classic corewars game?

    It seems like the "gadgets" would be just as vulnerable to network profiling and detection.

  9. Re:Super Wow on After 60 Years, a Room-Temperature Maser · · Score: 1

    This could be great for p2p 802.11 links of some kind as well...I wonder if having the beam coherent would have any effect on things like rain and fog effects...
