• I've never used FreeBSD and have some questions

  Aside from being UNIX based, what similarities does it share with Linux? Both have monolithic kernels. Source based build systems are offered (ports, which are like the portage system on Gentoo) as well as binary build systems (pkg, which is like apt, yum, pacman, etc.) Both offer a lot of free software, though more licenses are compatible with FreeBSD like CDDL, which is not compatible Linux. Both let you... Source: 7 months ago

• FreeBSD turns 30 today!

  There's no mention of a birthday on their site, and its footer says 1995-2023. That must be just the site, because Wikipedia tells me FreeBSD's initial release was indeed, but not quite, 30 years ago, November 1st 1993. Still no birthday. Source: about 1 year ago

• Computer

  I'm not the right person to ask this -- I just run it on whatever I happen to have. But I think sleep and wifi (for example) have issues with different hardware, so you'd have to do your homework. The FreeBSD handbook on freebsd.org is always very helpful to me. You can try it out with a live cd / thumbdrive to see how much supported hardware you've got. My Lenovo X1 from a couple years ago works for what I... Source: about 1 year ago

• Can SGI’s Enthusiast Community Bring IRIX Back to Life?

  People are still actively working on Illumos. The last change was yesterday morning. * https://illumos.org People are still actively working on MirBSD. There's a CVS commit account that can be followed on the FediVerse. * http://www.mirbsd.org It's DragonFly BSD, not Dragon BSD, and the irony of that is that you missed FreeBSD, which is of course still going. * https://dragonflybsd.org * https://freebsd.org As... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• X220 and beer. A lovely combo, especially with FreeBSD.

• Ask HN: Best alternative to Chrome for power-user?

  I use memory saver on Chrome and it helps substantially but Chrome just doesn't feel right. It might be the most secure browser out there but performance is lacking. Modern software should be more efficient than this. There is open-source Rust browser engine in the making called Servo (https://servo.org/), I hope they eventually come up with more efficient browser. - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• Ask HN: Is Firefox better than Chrome when it comes to user security?

  > I actually have more faith in servo: https://servo.org Together with RedoxOS, COSMIC EPIC, and coreutils in Rust -- the future holds such great potential :). - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago

• Ask HN: Is Firefox better than Chrome when it comes to user security?

  Yes, Specially Brave (within the Chromium-spectrum only) is probably one of the best choices (if we ignore some details, of course...) Still, I actually have more faith in servo: https://servo.org. - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago

• Mozilla Corporation Org Changes to Accelerate Our Path to the Future

  Https://servo.org/ is seeing new development alongside https://tauri.app/ which seems like it could replace Electron, getting them a little closer to native speed and memory usage. It'd be nice to see more and more of Servo integrated into Firefox. Web pages rendered at 120fps and fewer memory leaks in long-lived many-tabbed browser sessions would be lovely. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• GitHub Sponsor the Servo Rust project!

  Servo, the embeddable, independent, memory-safe, modular, parallel web rendering engine. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
