<p>Yep<p>Try to search vacancies for FreeBSD or candidates with FreeBSD knowledge/background, you will be surprised, its desert.<p>Even TrueNAS realized it's a dead end for reaching wide audience needs and migrated to Linux (as you mentioned zfs, your probably heard a thing or two on TrueNAS).<p>I have not tried in the last 10 years, so don't have numbers, my ballpark figure about having small infra team say of 5 persons and try to hire for FreeBSD would be longer and more expensive.<p>I see somewhat tolerable Linux Corp fleet of laptops (still meh, but somewhat works), what you will reply to your users when they complain on WiFi or Zoom not working and how will procurement work for you interesting questions for me.<p>Red Book for FreeBSD animal, can meet somewhere deep in tundra, but not a widespread species- extinction form my POV.</p>

<p>Hard to tell about FreeBSD, it's basically extincted, but think of webhosting servers, wordpress, cPanel/Plesk and alike.<p>often it's ssh'able with things like rbash and other restrictions and almost always you, well, can run something there (as you can edit php/other files right from web management ui).<p>Hordes of this (in Linux world).</p>

<p>Well, there is Aider-CE aka Cecli, which moves, updates almost every day (I'm tried to try it but much).<p>Opencode is totally different beast comparing to Aider and I mostly stopped using Aider for 2 months or so - it just iterate simpler and faster with OpenCode for me.</p>

<p>Genuine question, as someone who never used Claude Code, but used OpenCode/Aider/GeminiCli - as many here say Opencode is better, mind sharing why (from end user perspective)?<p>I was thinking to try Claude Code later and may reconsider doing so.</p>

<p>> Figure 9: Durable writes with io_uring. Left: Writes and fsync
are issued via io_uring or manually linked in the application.
Right: Enterprise SSDs do not require fsync after writes.<p>This sounds strange to me, of not requiring fsync. I may be wrong, but if it was meant that Enterprise SSDs have buffers and power-failure safety modes which works fine without explicit fsync, I think it's too optimistic view here.</p>

<p>Note that Aider is not much maintained over last 3 months or so, there is a fork Aider CE, though I'm just watching their changes through rss and not used myself.<p>I'm more in Opencode world now and its in general more efficient for me (I'm sorta sysadmin by day, not a programmer, so agentic mode with Opencode saves a lot of time cuz you can just tell - write adhoc Python script and check which objects/methods present at that library- savings me from a boring part of you know programming/diving deep in unknown languages).<p>On Aider part, I especially liked ability to nitpick the function name, which is great for more focused changes/investigations.</p>

<p>it may happen that you just don't need it - the same way not everyone need to use vim/neovim.<p>without tmux/screen though, it's much harder, even less reliable, to work over ssh, so it becomes natural need for such sort of tools.<p>Say I use screen and later tmux since I believe ~ 2010 but not using "advanced" features like "panes" and screen splitting every month, most of the time for me it's just switching between windows in session and different sessions (not that often) and that's all.<p>As a helper, for some projects, I do use predefined layouts (say first 4 windows opens with inventory dir, other 2 with root folder of ansible repo) so on, but need this also not very often, like when laptop reboots (which is every ~ 3 week on Win11 nowdays)</p>

<p>Indeed, I agree here, Linux, and basically Unix was not designed to work without administrator.<p>I would argue that more time was spent on thinking "how we do hotplug CPU on our machine" than on "how that user will work with USB drives".</p>

<p>> [1] to be honest, I'm not sure I understand the intent of open_file_cache... Opening files is usually not that expensive<p>I may have a hint here - remember, that Nginx was created in the times of dialup was a thing yet and having single Pentium 3 server was a norm (I believe I've seen myself that wwwXXX machines in the Rambler DCs over that time).<p>So my a bit educated guess here, that saving every syscal was sorta ultimate goal and it was more efficient in terms of at least latency by that times. You may take a look how Nginx parses http methods (GET/POST) to save operations.<p>Myself I don't remember seeing large benefits of using open_file_cache, but I likely never did a proper perf test here. Say ensure use of sendfile/buffers/TLS termination made much more influence for me on modern (10-15 years old) HW.</p>

<p>You are probably talking about VMs - those do have traffic limits. Servers, on the other side, with default 1Gbit NICs doesn't (let's say until you consume 80%+ of bandwidth for months)<p>Quoting:<p>> Traffic<p>>All root servers have a dedicated 1 GBit uplink by default and with it unlimited traffic. Inclusive monthly traffic for servers with 10G uplink is 20TB. There is no bandwidth limitation. We will charge € 1 ($1.20)/TB for overusage.</p>
