article basically teaches that computers with local storage has better latency. Wisdom of back to basics.

Not that it teaches a bad thing or in a bad way, just me expected from Clickhouse guys less obvious things

I would not claim on best distro for all the types of tasks, but in certain areas, when you well, just need stable Linux compatible environment related to sysadmin and development tasks - indeed it rocks, agree.

From the article:

> "expect to see more Ubuntu WSL users than ‘native’ Ubuntu users over the coming months.”

As happy WSL user myself, I can see why it grows and drives Ubuntu adoption too.

> Search & RAG: Use private and unlimited web search, deep research, and RAG.

It mentions unlimited web search - I wonder how that works, implies not by some Google Search API?

my common dumb test approach with fio

  fio --rw=write --ioengine=sync --fdatasync=1 --directory=test-data --size=220m --bs=2300 --name=mytest

Consumer grade SSDs 100-500 iops, datacenter SSDs in thousands (like ~ 5 year old samsung model on Hetzher AFAIR had ~ 3000 iops in that test). Cheap VPSes - easily in 5-30 iops of this sort

more often then not, fsync/fdatasync is overlooked by programmers

mind sharing hints/links on your harness/flow setup?

I did several attempts with naive prompting, but spent more time babysitting than actual flow

> but stuck with the concept by going with another company.

Mind giving a hint on another company name?

embedding transparent containers into Windows native apps looks huge, extra cool is GPU access from container and mentioned OpenClaw like tool cases in mind, ports and folders.

Like the idea!

Yep

Try to search vacancies for FreeBSD or candidates with FreeBSD knowledge/background, you will be surprised, its desert.

Even TrueNAS realized it's a dead end for reaching wide audience needs and migrated to Linux (as you mentioned zfs, your probably heard a thing or two on TrueNAS).

I have not tried in the last 10 years, so don't have numbers, my ballpark figure about having small infra team say of 5 persons and try to hire for FreeBSD would be longer and more expensive.

I see somewhat tolerable Linux Corp fleet of laptops (still meh, but somewhat works), what you will reply to your users when they complain on WiFi or Zoom not working and how will procurement work for you interesting questions for me.

Red Book for FreeBSD animal, can meet somewhere deep in tundra, but not a widespread species- extinction form my POV.

Hard to tell about FreeBSD, it's basically extincted, but think of webhosting servers, wordpress, cPanel/Plesk and alike.

often it's ssh'able with things like rbash and other restrictions and almost always you, well, can run something there (as you can edit php/other files right from web management ui).

Hordes of this (in Linux world).

You can wire lsyncd for near real-time syncs and btrfs snapshots for offline storage

I had bad feelings on MC, as it's flaky.

Far Manager or Dos Navigator are much better IMO.

> a RCE vulnerability is the type of thing that nation state actors in Russia and North Korea dream of

Does this mean other state actors are beyond needs of RCE vulns as their tools belt and North Korea and Russia lagging behind? Some other interpretation from security-involved practitioners here - like, I don't know - we already have Pegasus, phew on OpenCode RCE?

Well, there is Aider-CE aka Cecli, which moves, updates almost every day (I'm tried to try it but much).

Opencode is totally different beast comparing to Aider and I mostly stopped using Aider for 2 months or so - it just iterate simpler and faster with OpenCode for me.
