In fact, that article states that 'contributing upstream' is part of what Netflix considers core to its success in using FreeBSD, which basically negates any so called benefit you might have in not being bound by the GPL...

Don't think they're available, no.

The best I know of is https://freebsdfoundation.org/end-user-stories/netflix-case-study/

No, Debian's kFreeBSD port is dead dead dead.

@purpleidea
They've given talks on how using FreeBSD gives them technological advantages over and above what Linux could give them.

Could the license be considered an advantage by their business people? Maybe. But I don't believe it's their only reason, or even their main reason.

The Belgian recepy:

Peel potatoes.

Cut potatoes into something fry shaped. Preferably with a tool to do so if you want to save time, but with a sharp knife works too.

Deep-fry at 160°C until soft throughout.

Let cool to room temperature (even if you want to eat them the same day).

If you want to marinade, do so now (but I wouldn't).

Deep-fry at 180°C until golden brown (and yummy crusted)

Serve and eat.

@safigo
Netflix uses FreeBSD on all its edge systems. FreeBSD -CURRENT, even.

Encoding a date of birth is so generic, and will be at the base of literally anything that tries to do any type of age related stuff that it's quite the stretch to call it "premature"...

What you do with that encoded date of birth and how you expose that, sure.

But storing it? Come now.

It's just about the money.

Digital books are cheaper, because no physical object changes hands.

Brick and mortar grocery shops are cheaper, because no delivery takes place.

Enshittification doesn't work if there isn't a single party controlling (almost) everything. You try to provide a shit service, I will move to a different instance (or roll my own).

We are the same height!

Interestingly, whenever I stand next to a person approximately my own height, I suddenly feel small.

I have a framed print of https://xkcd.com/1133. In less than a month, it will probably start lying just below the title.

@NanoRaptor
Not quite at your level yet, but went pretty well I'd say.

It's unfortunate that what you say is true. It shouldn't be.

@ariadne
I think if a set of reasonably good open source models existed (*real* open source, not this 'osaid' crap that the OSI pulled) that anyone with a reasonably modern processor could run locally, that'd make such a difference...

At work we have 5 rpis as part of our CI system in a 2U rack mount for the things that can fit up to 12 of them...

(Not sure if that's the exact model, wasn't involved in the procurement of them)

@slomo
Yeah, you'd think so. But I don't know if the kernel community would care much about 'science reasons', and also I thought the process document about assistant tools was talking a lot about maintainers time, but now that I review it I seem to have misremembered.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst

Quite confused now 🤷

@slomo
Linux kernel policy requires that. Allows reviewers to go in with an understanding that the quality might not be great, I think?

At the same time, Linux kernel also requires that you understand the patch you send. So I'm also not quite sure why that policy exists.

@hyc
I think they did? What they're saying is that you can't share across containers and that you therefore they made a synchronisation protocol to sync to a single pod which does the LMDB access.

That sounds reasonable?

@lapcatsoftware
And while they're at it they're also driving up prices of RAM so you can't do normal computing anymore even if you wanted to.

South Africa is 2nd (or third, matches too) in your list.
