@phen314 Oh wait.. that's supposed to be an apple isn't it.. .ok, big apple.. I get that now.. what about the rest?

I hope this FreeBSD Foundation effort bears sweet ripe fruit: freebsdfoundation.org/blog/why (I want a supported FreeBSD Laptop! EVEN IF IT IS A DELL)

@jutty oh, I'll add another area to gain support for, and it should actually be pretty easy. E and P cores!

@jutty hmm.. I tend to go for the larger and more well known (and expensive) brangs; Lenovo, Dell, HP, etc. So definitely gong to be a bias there towards more standard parts (like I have an em wired ethernet and an iwlwifi on this.. pretty stock chips).

I could see an issue getting a rando laptop from walmart or off of amazon.

@jutty ah, neat. I run freebsd on my daily driver laptop. It actually works pretty well. Wifi works, graphics works, audio, etc.

Power management even.. sometimes works!

In terms of things I think are most valuable; thunnderbolt, and the more advanced power management things (like suspend to disk). Other than that it is just to get things supported SOONER (as in sooner to tech being released)

9.9 in cups? sorry, not buying it. if it was in openssh MAYBE, but really 9.9 IME is kernel level ,and it has to be RCE. 'ping of death',etc. isn't 9.9.

@lattera well, that is pretty obnoxious; I don't even have those files on a checkout, so I cannot even build by default now; I wonder if my tree even "works" with this merge now

@stefano saw you gave a presentation at eurobsdcon. And on a topic that is close and passionate to me (data ownership).

Didn’t realize how influential you were in the community; definitely honored that I got your followback! 🙂

Last talk today: @stefano making important points about why to use BSD on the server.
#EuroBSDCon2024

Saw this on twitter (@ryanrwinchester) and I couldn't help posting it here; really sums up my hate of colored languages.

@stefano @kasperd @oxyhyxo ditto. Self host here across a few different areas. Zero issues. AND I don't need to worry about getting cut off because my account gets stolen, compromised, credit card gets stolen,etc. etc. etc.

And it takes SO LITTLE TIME.
