It's so much faster than digging through dozens of blogs, or asking reddit, or getting on a forum full of fat miserable nobodies that feel important because they know a bit of technical information and have a shit attitude towards anyone asking for help. See: any IT forum, creativecow, adobe help forums... pieces of shit that do nothing to help people and just see it as an opportunity to talk down to people while stroking their ego.

Meanwhile AI will tell me how to solve my problem immediately. Long gone are the days of posting about an issue with a piece of technology, and only getting responses from fanboys defending it and refusing to help or admit its glaring issues.

AFAIK Gmail doesn't require that you give it another email address -- what they do absolutely require is that you give them a working mobile phone number that they can send an SMS to. No mobile phone means no account for you.

Hilariously I got a sim card in Argentina that an Argentinian had to enter his national ID card to register (because Argentina doesn't let foreigners buy tourist sims) and I was able to get a new Gmail account that way -- but only one single account, because Gmail refused to let me create more than one within a month on the same phone number.

Let's get a BSD thread going. Are you using BSD on any of your machines and why did you choose it over linux? I installed FreeBSD on my thinkpad last night and it seems to work well, but what can I do with this that I cannot do on linux? So far the only interesting feature I've found is ZFS. Don't get me wrong, it feels almost like linux and the pkg-package manager is nice and fast. I guess I might as well keep using this as my OS on my laptop, but I fail to see any benefits when compared to linux. Maybe if you like jails more than VM's and containers, then that's one interesting feature for sure because AFAIK jails can be way more secure than containers. Oh and the IceWM package seems to be nicely themed for FreeBSD, so points for that too, overall packages feel more precisely tailored than on most linux distros.

I’m running web servers and a mail server on FreeBSD and it’s great. Upgrades are a breeze. Jails are easy to work with once you get the hang of networking with them. Pf is easy to configure. ZFS is great. Filesystem hierarcy is an improvement over GNU/Linux. Performance is great. Documentation is great.
The single biggest thing is lack of surprises and at least feels less bloated compared to GNU/Linux.
>>107834620
OpenBSD on desktop doesn’t seem so appealing to me but it looks as a sexy alternative for servers despite the worse performance. My small scale bizniz shit probably won’t have any noticeable difference though.
>>
>>107832616
I think OpenBSD is a cool system, wish Linux had an equivalent like that other than maybe Whonix. It's a shame they used such a terrible license though.
>>107832735
If you're running it on desktop, other than ZFS and some incremental improvements, I don't understand why you'd pick FreeBSD over Linux with its tiny userbase. It just seems like a contrarian os. OpenBSD has something Linux isn't as intensely focused on, which is security and correctness.

Genuine question: use case?

>space
Unless you live in a capsule hotel having this vs a small laptop or even a small desktop PC like a dell optiplex SFF is pointless. Might as well go for a dell optiplex SFF.
>price
Nigger, these things cost like what 200$ new and as low as 30$ used ok. I can get 10x better performance from any old stock ebay dell office desktop PC for 30$. For 200$ I can get an amazing hp Z440 with 128GB of DDR4 (currently what I have)
>energy
Unless energy is like 5$/kwh we're talking about maybe 10$ per year electricity savings, and you're sacrificing performance.

Honestly at this point why not just by a USB-C dongle and use your android phone as a desktop computer ?

Also, twice now I've had monitor output ports burn out, no idea why. The main HDMI port fried when I ran out of memory (too many Firefox tabs open) and the CPU started thrashing with page swapping. Then one of the USB-C-DP ports fried from the same thing. I've got one last USB-C-DP and if that fries I'll have to try to use the DVI port, which apparently is replaceable if I go to Taiwan and beg ASUS to swap the daughterboard for it.

I haven't worked on game servers but I did work on enterprise message passing shit where I had to look into the potential impact of encryption. From what I remember large numbers of small messages received very little impact while large messages carrying large payloads did show quite a lot of extra CPU overhead. That mostly happened because large payloads moved very large amounts of data around while small payloads hit other I/O bottlenecks and overall data rates were much lower despite a far higher message rate.

Ultimately I'd be pretty sure a game server use case would be more on the large number of packets with relatively small payloads side, no? Like how high could data rate per player reach?
