Binary upgrades on FreeBSD are fine. I rarely compile my own kernel these days, but even when I did needed a custom kernel I never had any issues. It just works, For me FreeBSD and OpenBSD needs much less maintenance than Linux.
I'll try :) Generally speaking focal length is a characteristics of a lens which does not change, if you use smaller sensor you're just "cropping" what given focal length would render. For example if you'd have, let's say 100mpix camera and 24mm lens it would give you different perspective than 85mm evn if you would crop 24mm image to have same angle of view as 85mm.
FreeBSD is not a "desktop first" system and has strengths elsewhere. I use it for 20+ years constantly. Sadly my experiments with FreeBSD desktop ended years ago as there always was something "not working".
> If you have an APS-C camera, which is quite common, then you want a ~32mm lens, and if you use M4/3 like I do, then you want a 25mm lens, to achieve this same effect.
It's not the same effect, far from it. It's different focal length, that will render different image.
I'm an avid runner (50-70km/week) and I've been running for 5 years. I run long distances on trail.
Seems that although it increases performance and stamina for me it also brings my heart rate up, which is not desirable in most cases since I'm training ~80% of the time in zone 2 (aerobic). At given pace I can have few bits higher HR when caffeinated (between 5 and 10 bpm) which means that I need go go slower in order to stay in zone 2.
For me it's a tool that I'm using during races. Also worth noting is that caffeine works on me really well.
I disagree. I used to be an AIX administrator for well over a decade, got certified in basically everything related to AIX being on the side hard core FreeBSD user (still have some servers). In my opinion AIX is indeed different, but rock solid and fun to work with.
I wish FreeBSD was more popular. I run it on my personal servers for more than a decade non-stop. I do have currently one FreeBSD at home which works as my NAS/backup server/whatever I need it to do plus two remote machines (mail/www/db/ns running in jails). About a year ago I migrated one FreeBSD to OpenBSD because it's just an advanced router.
I took conservative approach and I always run -RELEASE version, not even -STABLE. I'm glad Klara is evaluating -CURRENT branch, good read.
Btw, once - several years ago I bought an new system and network card was not supported in the -RELEASE branch, so I took the driver from -CURRENT, compiled and loaded as kernel module. Worked flawlessly :)
Yes, I agree with that. Recently I've switched my FreeBSD router to OpenBSD, getting it running is trivial and for backups - just few files needs to be rsyncd to my backup machine and that's it.
I'd say it's mostly a matter of energy and time you wish to put into becoming a successful entrepreneur. My experience tells me that first two-three years is a grind, then you can loosen that regime a bit, depending on what you want to achieve. If you're ok with making more (like x1.5 - 2.0 times more) than when employed you can relax and settle on 8-10h a day, if not - real benefits come later, but I think you'll need to hire somebody anyways.
