    Why would someone go to so much effort to not use doas??

    Haha. I'll have to try it again sometime, but it didn't like my Core 2 Duo Thinkpad. Painfulllly slow.

    You really get the sense that the language was designed around "slightly better than Github Copilot" rookie devs. ;)

    Is anyone using the @PINE64 yet?
    Is it ready for early adopters, or is it still dev-only status?
    It's almost a couple years old now, and I'm not seeing much in the way of status updates AFAICT.
    I'm tempted to get a kindle scribe, but dang if I don't want to make Lex Luthor any richer or more powerful. :P

    This is NOT my strength. My strength is staying behind the scenes and making everything work for SOMEONE ELSE.

    lol sorry XD

    I used to work with some z/OS folks, and that's where I'd hear the term. I've been out of IT for just about a decade now. :(:

    RL_Dane,

    @ieatkillerbees @saramg

    That's another term I haven't heard in a long time, "Tape Operator."
    I think I knew some Tape Operators once, like 20 years ago.
    Man, that's really getting into the recesses of my brain.

    PDF and DOCX are “open” but are designed to entrench incumbency.

    VS Code’s extension API is “open,” but MS’ own extensions are the only ones it allows to use the full extension API.

    The list seems endless. “Open” is often just a marketing term for-profit corporations. It won’t be “different this time” just b/c some VC techbro with a crazy beard says so.

    As an indication of how badly this project has degraded my mental state, I at some point managed to create a file in the project directory named ":wq". Either you understand this post or you don't.

    Any stories relevant to choosing between and ?

    What their current state and differences are?

    RL_Dane,
    @RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

    @orbifx

    My totally n00b opinion is:

    : a more traditional unix, very focused goals (similar to ), broad architecture support
    : more geared towards the enterprise, more feature-complete (bhyve virtualization, linux executable compatibility, ZFS), a little better hardware compatibility on the one PC (Thinkpad) I tried both of them on.

    To be fair, I spent very little time on NetBSD (only because I couldn't get suspend to work).

    ...

    RL_Dane,
    @RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

    @orbifx

    ...

    You should also consider OpenBSD. It actually had the best hardware support, resuming from suspend much faster than FreeBSD on my Thinkpad X200. FreeBSD is the most Linux-like, and the most feature-complete BSD, though.
