Unpopular Opinion #(??)

I'd like to see a #Proxmox clone based on #OmniOS, providing the best of both #bhyve and #KVM for #VMs (protected by a zone layer), and zones for all things #BSD and #Linux. BSD support in the zone layer would certainly rocket it up the list and make it the only #OS with support of #virtualizing or straight up #emulating almost any OS (obviously no #Windows support). All that combined with Kubernetes would make it a swiss-army knife for just about any purpose.

Looks like #OpenBSD is a no go for testing. The iso file boots, keyboard is detected at the boot> prompt, at the installation menu keyboard input is no longer functioning. First time I've experienced an #OS with this behavior.

Wow I was checking out #NixOS and what it can do for dev environments. Its so simple but so helpful.

I need to dive in more.

Thanks to @solene for mentioning #NixOS to me.

Here's another lengthy and useful article about #FreeBSD for developers. In this one, I explain about the backbone of FreeBSD, which is the rc.conf, about manipulating shells, and the practical use of pkg:

The plan is to release the information gradually, but I still have a lot of material to share about how this operating system completely won me over... it's simply sensational... https://dev.to/scovl/freebsd-for-devs-03-4dhd #freebsd #os #developers #devs #c #java #go #lisp #bestie

It was just an email, rather than an issue or bug and someone took some efforts to look up my mail and to write me. It made me very happy & we should much more honour the work of others! It reminded me of how much we now take software for granted in our daily life. Things we do and handle our daily business... Even if we don't donate anything or only small amounts, we should always show respect for the time and effort of the author and maintainer. Even a small personalized email can bring great joy :)
