>whats the difference between openbsd and freebsd and why openbsd > freebsd for your use?
openbsd has theo making very opinionated decisions that are focused on security, this is a good thing ...
however the number of ports in openbsd is less than the number of ports in freebsd, in part due to the restrictive functionality of the underlying os

I have been running freebsd for servers primarily because administrating openbsd required more effort until recently (an example being that binary updates are a new thing)

if I am building a purpose built machine that exists for doing a single task like firewall, load balancing, web hosting, dns, etc.... I would choose openbsd; if I were going to build a single machine running those services, depending on resources available, I would begin to lean toward freebsd

freebsd has jails (if you aren't familiar, imagine if docker wasn't terrible) which share the host's resources
conversely openbsd has a well structured and easily managed hypervisor and they rely on it for segmentation as >>107610372 suggests

>and shouldnt most software "just werk" considering they have same unix base and the sockets in linux are the bsd sockets and so on, that doesnt most apps that compile on linux compile same on BSD too, at least that used to be the case
yes, sort of ... if something isn't in ports, I need to think long and hard how important it is for me to hassle with it
shell scripts are fine, I can change where bash and python are ... but actual compiled code? almost certainly I lack the fucks to give

>>
>>107610490
alright thanks, from your implementation it seems that freebsd would be for me
oh right jails they're indeed useful and i do dislike docker it is a bad solution to the linux library versioning problem
for me i dont really care about any additional security though for my use its enough to vet the software i use and then simple chroot "jails" and running services on restricted user accounts is enough -> even if a service was compromised as long as the kernel and coreutils dont have some critical bug that allows privilege escalation, they shouldnt be able to escape the confines of their user accounts privileges
i think additional layers of security are only useful for people who need more granular restrictions like that for example multi-user systems where the user want to further restrict access what their processes can do, but if im the only person using my pc and users simply mean services and not other people i have all the control i need already

also i dont mind if something doesnt exist as package i can build it from source but good to hear that the package environment is healthy too, i wouldnt want to compile every single little tool from source
>>
there are no good BSD derivatives to use. the only one among them which gets used by its own developers is openbsd and it's a meme os slowed down by mitigations that are not even meaningful as if having to use a niche OS with less performant and compatible code isn't bad enough

I've never worked with the AVIF format before... does it compress images better than WebP?

Yes and it has the same browser support as webp
>>
>>107614036
There's a thread on it right now if you're curious but from my basic understanding is webp is only good at low quality vs JPG, it won't give you those nasty crusty ringing/blocky artefacts you see in JPG. AVIF does even better and isn't limited to low quality like webp is.

>>
>>107614157
To be fair the older an image format is the more security vulnerabilities are going to be discovered. Though AVIF might still have less overall since it's being actively developed by many companies who want mpeg-la to go fuck themselves with HEIC. Webp was basically a pet project by google in comparison.

Okay

I have an ancient toaster that's 15 years old now. I can do some web browsing but stuff like YouTube struggles. I can watch 480p on YouTube. Anyway,someone please tell me what kind of videos I should download for watching movies.

1080p anything is no go most of the time. I can handle some 720p videos if they are like divx. Divx movies play well for me. Other than divx, what else? A lot of mkv videos make my computer shit itself and struggle to not crash. Nevermind watching it

>He's probably got it set to the default vp9 or av1
nta but when playing av1 content youtube it will automatically downgrade you to vp9 as soon as you get a bunch of dropped frames, so there's no way he is "default to av1", they also removed the option to have it be the preferred video format in settings lately.
of course the same doesn't apply to vp9 because fuck you. no idea why they even provide h264 encodes at this point when you need to go out of your way and install h264 to access those.
>>
>>107608923
all ikatube does is use your default media player to play youtube videos, it doesn't change how the videos are encoded and will default to h264 (the same codec you're having trouble with).
that tranny is just shilling his irrelevant garbage software for no reason, it wouldn't help you at all in this case.
the fact that you decided to ignore every actually useful answer and only reply to this "bro just use my youtube client" retardation smells baity.

doesn't fix the core issue and isn't required on such hardware.
if he's struggling with 480p playback on a browser you aren't getting 720p60 and beyond by just switching to a media player, and he'd still be using his whole cpu to do that while his perfectly fine h264 hardware decoder (which can do 1080p60 no problem) is sitting idle, very half assed pointless workaround.
what a retarded excuse to shill your shitware, kys.

Worst case it will run at around 4800CL40, so you may lose a third of the regular performance of a typical 6000CL30 kit (in benchmarks). In some shit games that are somehow performance bound by memory speed, you'll probably lose 15-20% of 1% lows. It's not great but for cheaper builds it might be good value.

360 pad is hard to beat especially in terms of value and very representative of the times when xbox and microsoft as a whole were a respected brand. Can't go wrong with this for any genre you like to play
>>107613228
easily breakable as I have come to find out twice unfortunately. I never even throw it away or abuse it in rage, it just fell down one day and stopped turning on since then. Apparently a very common thing as I have read with no fix apart from letting microshit repair this retarded piece of plastic. It just feels cheap too especially when you hold a dualsense in comparison.
Dualsense is more expensive but you definitely get your moneys worth. It's amazing how sony isn't even trying to be consumer friendly and yet still moggs the living shit out of this boomer jeetware. The "console war" will be officially over with the next gen and bill gates overvalued vibe code company hopefully buried by the end of this decade.

Second this, went through 3 of the new xbox pads within a month of normal use and I'm somebody that typically keeps a controller for 5+ years. Microsoft did something but the controller has the durability of a 90s era madcatz controller.
