For the last couple of months I've been testing both #FreeBSD and #OpenBSD on my laptop and I constantly have problems with unstable and lagging Firefox and Chromium. Yes, I did change all the settings and mounted all the recommended fs. It's not that big deal for me but I do understand newcomers coming from Linux and saying that *BSD are unusable. If you think that this just means they will not use it on desktop than you're very wrong. Why will they use BSD on server when they could use linux
The one thing I missed most about not having Fitbit on arm was clock. I was debating with myself "should I upgrade to smartwatch", but now I know that there is no point. Fitbit Charge 3 (new version of the one I have) adds water resistance and that is enough for me.

I'm also looking to use/rent-by-the-hour two servers with Intel 82599-based 10GbE NICs in them for this.
if you or someone you know can loan the use of such machines for two or three days so I can run tests and generate data for my talk, I'd be eternally grateful and delighted to give you/$corp/other a shoutout in my talk!
Taking a break from preparing for my talk tomorrow on P4 to focus on my #eurobsdcon talk on packet processing in the BSDs, and their packet filters.
Generating call graphs and profilling data from C/C++ source is proving *sliiiiightly* more difficult than I had anticipated. ...and I anticipated some difficulty.
I'm working with cscope and cflow, but would greatly appreciate suggestions, referrals, ideas, and boosts for additional resources.
Startup creeps aren't accidentally reinventing libraries and buses. They're very deliberately inventing libraries and buses that poor people aren't allowed to use.
