>Circulator eggs never made a whole lot of sense,

They make a great deal of sense in professional kitchens. If you're expecting to do hundreds of brunch covers, or a giant breakfast buffet, poaching eggs sous vide ahead of time is a game changer

>A big conversation I see now days is what’s “wrong” with the modern nba, with too many 3’s being the most common refrain. That’s silly. I will tell you what’s actually wrong about the nba. They’re playing the most amazing basketball the worlds ever seen, but the entertainment ecosystem around them hasn’t changed at all. Literally they just talk about the stupidest stuff, like who’s the GOAT, instead of actually educating their audiences about the incredible level of play that exists now days.

100% agree on this. NBA coverage, especially on ESPN is garbage. Not to mention how expensive it is to (legally) watch the NBA. If they actually had better coverage explaining different facets of the game, and analyzing it, maybe people would appreciate what they're seeing more.

It certainly does to me....Firefox and ublock origin makes using the modern web easier. Anytime I use some other combination (at work, or someone else's device) I can't stand most websites.

I know there are problems around Mozilla the org, or the how firefox is funded, but I hope it's not going anywhere.

It's proving to be a good release so far. Hopefully they get more support in the form of manpower and cash. Looking forward to NetBSD and the increasing popularity of ARM in the future.

NetBSD is great because: can support lots of hardware; minimal but featureful; secure; pkgsrc; friendly community;

It's like a good middle ground between Free and OpenBSD. Anyone into "minimal" linux distros might get a kick out of it.

Anyone interested should check out https://www.unitedbsd.com/ It's a bsd forum with a good number of netbsd users and a couple of developers as well.

probably best asked on a mailing list. But NetBSD is really community/volunteer driven, so someone with an itch to scratch will have to take it on

I will say I like this more than your review of netbsd 9 ;)

Maybe try it in a VM, or use second hand thinkpads or similar supported hardware.

Try one in a VM first. Get used to the different pkg management in whichever BSD you use vs. the linux distro you're used to using. NetBSD uses pkgsrc, which is pretty straightforward to use.

No systemD.

If you're using it as a desktop, it will take a little more time to config things to fit what you need. More command line editing of config files, than say Linux Mint or similar linux distros.

FreeBSD has the biggest community so it's easier to get help online.

That being said, NetBSD is worth checking out, especially for your use case.

If you decide to try it out on hardware, check out https://bsd-hardware.info/ and see if your machine is supported.

Also check out UnitedBSD.com It's a forum and there are many NetBSD users there.

that's too bad...feels like everything has to be immutable or rolling release nowadays.

What did you need to configure before being able to be productive?

I agree with what you're saying but firefox with ublock origin and reader mode is definitely useful
