Trying to act superior with your oft-broken OS.

“Inferior technology stack”. Didn’t I just read a few days ago about pf queues just now breaking 4Gbps? Look me up, I’ve written a lot about high speed networking.

How are those containers working out for you? Have you heard about these things called VMs? Which I moved on from like 8 years ago?

Not to mention ole Theo likes to alienate you folks at every possible opportunity, even when it doesn’t matter to the core philosophy of openbsd.

I mean, you do you, but at least demonstrate an ounce of intellectual integrity about it.

Containers are a joke compared to Plan9 namespaces, and docker just solves a GNU/Linux problem with itself and the zillions of incompatible distros.

FreeBSD has jails and Docker it's something laugable because with FBSD you just install the compatNx libraries and everything from version 4 and up will run as is.

And in any case you set a jail with these libraries and everything would run in a much secure way than docker defaults.

Seriously, can't even you see that Docker it's a problem written as a solution to another problem?

Kinda like NPM+Yarn+$package-package-manager of the day to solve the problems the whole ecosystem and the so-called solutions creates twice. Wake up.

Not GP, but I'm running OpenBSD on a laptop, not in a datacenter. I have a small Alpine VM that I often forget about. I also have Debian 12 on a Mac Mini and while it's systemd, it could be OpenRC for all that I care about it.

I can see a case for systemd on a server, but have never seen the point on user-facing distro.

“vmm” is a toy compared to kvm/libvirt.

I assume Intel? I haven’t paid attention to Linux on Macs in a long time. But I love Devuan for this reason.

I’m not even arguing against systemd or not.

I’m just stating that Linux being technologically inferior because of something-something corporate overlords is… silly
