Well, we have a #BSD #Barista ( @stefano ), so maybe BSD is a #CoffeeShop? ;)

    @vermaden I very much enjoyed this. It’s there an up-to-date resource covering boot environments at boot time? With 15’s release, it’s going to be in demand. Also for would-be coverts, it’s a great thing to show off. I know you had a great post on this, but it seems out of date now (?).

    I got two environments working, but in still not sure I did it right / grokked the algorithm.

        I put together a little link collection - collected quite some bookmarks over the years 😀

        and related links as well as some other things sprinkled in.

        Someone might find it useful. 😎

                    @jbz BTW, I can't say that a commands' flags and arguments are a big pain in ass. If user switches from GNU utils, which uses a lot of GNU-specific things, to the BSD utils, which doesn't adopt various GNU things – then it's strange to wait for the same arguments of commandline utils, even if they named the same.

                    It is like the heavy user of Windows cmd.exe switched to Linux and disappointed that "commandname /?" doesn't show the help message to him.

                    Those days, when I first time tried FreeBSD, I had a lot of shell scripts full of Linuxisms in my dotfiles. Yes, I was need to spent some time in editor and remove all Linux-specific things from scripts — but now they able to run in both OSes :drgn_happy_blep:

                    The biggest thing was to rewrite scripts to use a proper shebang – not the Linux-specific "#!/bin/bash", but the much more portable "#!/usr/bin/env bash":

                      Hope people enjoy the article - it is a little heavy on the programming side of things.

                        After spending the last few days playing around with Linux distros from 1997-98 and comparing them to 2.2.8, I'm left wondering why exactly it was Linux that ended up winning that round of the OS wars when it seems like FreeBSD was so much better? Nearly all the Linux distros I tried were at least partially broken out-of-the-box.

                        Best guess: lingering legal concerns vis-a-vis AT&T? 🤔
