  • Realtek Freebsd drivers are 'ok' now, but that was a long fight.

    Outside of wifi (I mean Jesus christ) most of freebsd networking got fixed a decade ago, but you still need to stick with common-ish gear.

    Freebsd on kvm though, that's a game breaker, especially with sriov mellanox.

  • And fucked it up by releasing the 8169 with a stepping change that added power management.

    The kernel driver didn't know this, so links would silently not come up, and you wouldn't know why till you googled and learned you had to rebuild your kernel for your new motherboard.

  • That'll be a while, there isn't much push yet (1gbe is still pretty fast) and you can do 2.5 if you want to push, they're basically starting to replace 1gbe with 2.5gbe as a drop in.

    WiFi kind of screwed everything because it's 90-95% of all user clients, so if wifi can't handle the bandwidth, the bandwidth is considered 'commercial' and they charge you through the nose.

  • Excellent!

    Now if we can only teach realtek how pci device id's work, so they don't use revision id's to control power management, and links silently don't come up if your kernel driver doesn't support it properly.

    I know this was a decade ago, but yeah, I'm still pretty damn pissed.

  • Qnx is certified and has (hard) rtos baked in.

    But montavista and others give most of that by now for less and are more maintainable anyway.

  • Linux back then was just minix with more packages like x.

    The kernel was absolute bedlam back then.

  • Amen, freebsd crew represent!

    And to anybody throwing shade:

    BSD is literally the #1 mobile os, and has been for years, even if the kernel has extra chromosomes.

  • 1955 was as old in 1990 as 1990 is in 2025.

  • YOU HAD PEACE!!!

    Peace of mind.

    Peace that everyone wasn't trying to force you to believe their opinions or be judged as evil.

    I love the internet, but it desperately eroded the barrier that stood between our internal self-image and literally everyone else in the world.

  • Hyperbole is the rhetorical technique.

    Exaggeration is just speaking like that.

    From context it sounded like he was invoking the rhetorical meaning.

  • In https://interestingliterature.com/2015/09/the-interesting-origins-of-the-phrase-swings-and-roundabouts/

    But he’s also sometimes credited with popularising, or even inventing, the phrase ‘swings and roundabouts’, meaning ‘a situation in which different actions or options result in no eventual gain or loss.’ In other words, ‘it’s all much of a muchness’. Chalmers used this phrase – and the accompanying sentiment or meaning – in a poem titled ‘Roundabouts and Swings’, which was first published in Chalmers’ volume Green Days and Blue Days in 1912. The original poem is interesting not least because it cleverly employs existing expressions (round and round, up and down) to describe the pattern of financial profit and loss experienced by the travelling man. In doing so, and in using the symbols of the roundabouts and the swings to reinforce this sense of gain and loss, the poem arguably helped to bring the phrase to a wider audience

    And that is several square millimeters of cerebral cortex that you no longer have available for other patterns.

    But it's exactly the same group, they used to be called Dixiecrats, not a lot else you can call them except "racist southern filth".

    They aren't LITERALLY THE DOMINANT FOUNDATION OF THE CULTURE ANYWHERE ELSE!!!

    It's all the south has and is, it's like their blood and bones, there's nothing else.
