As happy WSL user myself, I can see why it grows and drives Ubuntu adoption too.

It mentions unlimited web search - I wonder how that works, implies not by some Google Search API?

  fio --rw=write --ioengine=sync --fdatasync=1 --directory=test-data --size=220m --bs=2300 --name=mytest

more often then not, fsync/fdatasync is overlooked by programmers

I did several attempts with naive prompting, but spent more time babysitting than actual flow

Mind giving a hint on another company name?

Like the idea!

Try to search vacancies for FreeBSD or candidates with FreeBSD knowledge/background, you will be surprised, its desert.

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).

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.

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.

Red Book for FreeBSD animal, can meet somewhere deep in tundra, but not a widespread species- extinction form my POV.

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).

Hordes of this (in Linux world).

Far Manager or Dos Navigator are much better IMO.

Does this mean other state actors are beyond needs of RCE vulns as their tools belt and North Korea and Russia lagging behind? Some other interpretation from security-involved practitioners here - like, I don't know - we already have Pegasus, phew on OpenCode RCE?

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.

I was thinking to try Claude Code later and may reconsider doing so.

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.

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).

On Aider part, I especially liked ability to nitpick the function name, which is great for more focused changes/investigations.

that's far from any sort of cheap, may be there is something very special with them?
