The old FreeBSD master Vi was praised by many sysadmins for his perfect understanding of FreeBSD and pure life.
Once some youngster decided to test master Vi's knowledge and asked him: "Tell me, oh Master, how did you configure your servers?"
Master Vi answered: "I don't really know".
Disappointed youngster returned to his own master and told him: "Master Vi is just a pretentious old man, he doesn't know anything. I know every configuration file in all of my Linux installations".
His Master gave him a slap upside the head and said: "Master Vi configured his servers when these mountains were still young and this river was but a small spring. He never needed this knowledge again, because his servers have worked flawlessly ever since. This is why his understanding is perfect".
#FreeBSD

Ok, so check this out. I raved about how magical #FreeBSD #linuxulator is, but it gets even better! In my Ubuntu linux jail, I downloaded the source for the #mobian kernel, installed cross-compiling tools, compiled the kernel and modules, copied to an sdcard, and booted up the kernel on my #pinephonepro 🤯 So, on my amd64 FreeBSD, I used a translation layer to load up Ubuntu Linux, used it to cross-compile a Linux kernel for arm64, and booted that up on a device! How unbelievable is that?!?

Yep, I get it. #NomadBSD is definitely a recommendation for newbies who just want to give BSD a spin.

I've been very happy with #OpenBSD on my writing machine for over a year now.

I'd like to try #FreeBSD on my home desktop again sometime. The only reason I prefer OpenBSD to it is that it tends to do S3 suspend/resume faster. Oh, and it has X11 working out of the box after install. ;)

#GoodMorning, good #tzag, and happy #Caturday! :calicat2:

Home alone this morning as A meets up with her daughter and some friends for a day out. All fed with breakfast, but still more #coffee to drink. :flan_coffee: Gonna focus on setting up that Piwigo gallery on #FreeBSD via a host provider, once I decide on which one to go with. :flan_hacker: :runbsdBg:

As for the Big Guy, here's a pic of him from yesterday before I fired up the grill. He loves being outside. :flan_cat:
